Something that this angle shows (and that other footage I've seen hints at) is that the second plane would have missed the tower without a pretty serious turn in the last few seconds. That plane is screaming (we're used to a jet that size flying with it's flaps and landing gear down if (roughly) level at that altitude. This turn would have been higher than normal G forces!

I noticed that too. The second plane almost missed!

I was in high school, we tuned in and caught the second plane hitting the tower live. From the view that we saw and the turn it made I thought it was a smaller private plane at first.
