Nice animation, but I think you are pointing to the smoke from the engines, not to the plane itself. I think the body of the plane is obsured by the box and all that can be seen is the tail.

But there is
no visual information to suggest the plane is behind the box, and what information there is suggests it is visible, as advertised. What is visible is slightly higher than the top of the box. There is also no change in the tree line above the box between the frame before the objects appears and when it does.
Google "Pentagon Building Performance Report" (not sure if the full report is still out there) which is the American Society of Civil Engineers report on the Flight 77 crash. It has the best image of the security camera shot in question and being better makes it clear that what I point to is the plane and not smoke, and they also point to it as Flight 77.
