What altitude and airspeed?
Jet wash - the rearward moving air from the jet engines.
The engine exhaust would have to be pointed at the ground somehow and it would have little to do with airspeed...or rather it would have to be going ridiculously slow with the nose high to do that.

Okay, last post on this subject.
The mathematically identical engines had something to do with flight simulator where both engines give the same amount of thrust. In R.L. no two engines give/generate the exact same amount of thrust which makes it a lot harder to keep a 757 on course
What altitude? In order to hit the pentagon the way they did, they had to fly extremely low.
It has little to do with airspeed? I take it we are talking about the airspeed of the aircraft right? In order to hit a building at great speeds I think both engines had to be up and running at full throttle wouldn’t you say ??
The jet wash will fan out in a conical shape and an 757 creates more than enough of it to knock a few cars over
