I dount it, look at the twin towers, the planes didnt even go through the building (large as they were) and they were powering up. Im certain it would be further in an area of housing but 2 miles is a long way
Equally the A300 that went down on departure from JFK on Nov 12 2001

12 November 2001; American Airlines A300-600; Queens, New York: The aircraft was on a flight from New York to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic when it crashed into a residential neighborhood just outside JFK airport. The aircraft experienced an in-flight breakup, with the vertical fin and one engine landing away from the main impact site. The crash damaged or destroyed several homes, and killed five people on the ground. Also killed were all nine crew members and 251 passengers on the aircraft, including five infants.

Didn't leave much of an impact on the ground, certainly not 2 miles of damage.
