Because it was a SMALL plane. Hey I fly a Cessna 172 and it is lighter than most midsized cars. They only go at most 110mph so they don't have much force behind them. My 172 only carries about 60 gallons of fuel, most of the time it is more like 40 gallons and it's almost the same stuff you put in your car, not Jet fuel.
That's why

It was a big building and a small plane. I'd be a little concerned if a little plane could collapse a big building!

The plane was a light aircraft.
I would say that the force of the impact and the amount of fuel in the aircraft and the speed (especially if it is an accident) meant that there was not enough energy to cause the building to collapse.
The building itself may have been more structurally sound.

Camus said it best; the plane is very small and could not make the building collapse.

plane was way too small and did not carry 1/5 the fuel that the jet airliners cary. Also speed was much slower so there was not the penitration of the world trade center crash.

Yeahhh fuel didn't spill down the elevator shafts and melt the steel core of the building, I'd wager. Thus, no repeat of 9/11. Try harder next time.

There was no evidence of the wings either.Another President Bush flying saucer attack
I dont think anyone picked up on the 911 conspiracy point you were trying to make.

Ignore those other loosers, they are idiots themselves.
It's because the building was made of mostly brick and the plane he/she used was really small.

A small fixed wing airplane does not posses the mass to do that kind of impact damage to a large bldg, nor does it carry enough fuel to generate a fire large enough and hot enough to impact the integrity of structural steel.

Little, tiny plain into big huge brick buildings don't make for good destruction. Logic dictates.
