Roger M - I stand corrected. I'll have to look into this more.

But what is it that is seen coming out from the building?
Is there any possibility that it can be the front of a passenger plane?

And how many every day average citizens can tell a 767 from a 757 from a 747? I haven't seen anything that didn't show anything but a United Airlines 767 hitting the tower. It's at an odd angle, but it's STILL a United 767.
This is probably as close to the same angle as you're going to find of a United 767.

What I see is most people failing to understand structural engineering or physics. It's apparent that people do not grasp things like mass, velocity etc... Remember, a blade of grass can be driven into contrete during a tornado.
Let's consider that example for a minute. If I handed you a blade of grass and told you to drive it into a brick wall and imbed it there, you would say impossible! However, this phenomenon has been witnessed time and again after tornados so it is possible.
A cylinder, think jet fuselage, is one of the strongest structures in the world. It's arched walls are not subject to weak-point deformation like a square would be, where the corners are weakest. It's linear walls are even which contributes to it's linear strength - much harder to accordian that structure than say if it had natural deformations it it. Ever see that Ripley's show where thay place a car atop four drinking glasses and they don't break? That's because the force is pushed in a linear fashion through the length, not the thickness of the material - same as that jet fuselage. The exterior of the building were simple concrete panels and the interior was basically unobstructed and wide-open - save for the elevator shaft in the middle and that plane looks like it missed that (Except for the wing).
Given the mass, tensile strength of a cylinder, the velocity etc... it's totally feasable that the nosecone would come out the other side.

But honestly kozmo, does this look to you like a nosecone belonging to an United Airlines:

Honestly?

It could be... I don't know though. A reasonable person could contend that there would be deformation and damage to the nose cone and that that would change the aesthetics of it upon exit... I'm not attempting to prove or debunk any theories here. I am simply pointing out the physics involved to indicate that IT COULD BE the nose cone from the fuselage of an aircraft. The video is pretty poor quality so it's not reasonable to assert either way that it is or it isn't; only that it could be.
