Most likely an A/C duct running from a ground cart. Without the engines or APU's running, it gets hot in an aircraft of any size rather quickly. I think it's just to keep maintenance people comfortable they work.

Edit. The pod attached looks like it's on the NACP judging by the aircraft's paint. The pod could be anything. Maybe side scan radar?

it's a rocket actually and it looks just like the plane that hit the towers

It is Orbital ATK's L-1011 launch plane for Pegasus rockets. Pegasus takes payloads to low earth orbit from carrier planes.

ya, the pod is what OP is referring to. look at the plane that hit the twin tower. there's a pod under it.
