Answer: The plane does not hit one of the twin towers. Start video at 1:45: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkU1LFgKS9Y. The towers are on the far left, and then when it strikes the building, that is not what the external view of the twin towers look like. Then, when it shows the video of the escape pod, the building that it hit was the same height as a lot of the buildings surrounding it.
Answer: Whilst not explicitly shown onscreen, at least in the dvd I own, the plane is shown heading straight for the twins. The crash also is never seen, due to budgetary reasons.
Answer: The plane does in fact hit one of the towers. It strikes the tower, then crashes to the ground.
