Question

Hi friends,
All we know on September 11th, 2001, the Twin Tower was destroyed by two airliners. Can you tell me what kind of those airplanes? What is their calling numbers?(Such as Boeing 737, etc). Furthermore, i heard there was a plane crashed into the Pentagon, but I have never seen any picture of the crashing plane on the Pentagon. Can you tell me what kind of plane had hit the Pentagon? And how serious did it make to the Pentagon?
Thank you,
Tomcat
