Ok, for the morbidly fascinated folks of the world, MS FlightSimulator
comes with 737 aircraft models, (there are 757 and 767 models on the web)
it also comes with a manhattan database replete with trade towers. So try
it yourself. Flying a large jet at high speed, the thing takes a mile and a
half to make a "tight" turn. The WTC is only just wider than the aircraft.

So my thoughts are
         to hit "any" building - pretty straightforward for someone
                 who knows the basics of how an airplane flys
         to hit a "specific" building from a specific angle
                 That is darn difficult
