It's actually quite likely that the plane exploded somewhere near the left end of the building. The pressure waves that developed, then traveled at supersonic speeds and out of the building walls.
I think this is the case because I did the math and it doesn't add up to what I said in my previous post. A plane cannot travel the distance of the WTC breadth within a frame, if it's traveling at the reported speed. Besides, the impact will abruptly change the speed so it cannot proceed with the same speed after the impact.
A commercial camera usually captures 24 frames per second. So one frame is about 0.0417 of a second. With the max speed given (it says between 500-800 kmph) the plane can only travel a distance of 9.3 meters in 0.0417 in free air. The width of the building is about 63 mts. If we assume that the plane traveled some distance into the building before exploding, it must atleast have traveled 10 meters or less (this is my guess, but it seems logical that the passenger plane cannot explode immediately on impact. It's not a missile. Or is it ? ) If you look at the frame, you see the smoke starting anywhere between 1/6th-1/4th of the distance of the breadth of WMC, from the left end.
So, the plane impacted the left side and exploded within 10 meters of the left end. The blast pressure waves traveled at supersonic speeds and ripped out the building. All of this happened within one frame and it got captured on the video. That is my best explanation of the event.
