Just plating devils advocate here.
I agree that the kinetic energy will not be à big problem. However a civilian liner carries a lot more fuel. Is there any wa that the burning fuel can cause unexpected complications (knocking out essential infrastructure like cooling pumps that are located near by in "soft" buildings).
Remember Fukushima survived the quake welt was the unexpectedly big tsunami knocking out a lot of infrastructure that did the damage. Most accidents happen due to a combination of problems that come together and cause a severe balls up. Each problem initself is not fatal but usually the combnation is I'm not saying this will happen here, but just assuming that the wall won't break so everything is hunky-dory might also be a bit over simplistic. An airliner crash-landing into a building not a trifle.
