Surely an alledged 757 had to take out vertical supports to be "swallowed whole. How else could it reaspmably gain entire entry?

Close-up of the left one - top seems flattened down, cable/tubing seems unravelled as well, which indicates to me this one rolled or spun a bit.
Graphic done by Murru, I hope using it is okay. Compiled from combined photos, an excellent job except where noted by me in red.
True, this point. As most airplanes do, this one was flying in the air, not the dirt. It was flying until it hit the wall. Therefore... no gouges. Except where the engines hung down and hit thing right above ground level. The lowest anything got was the left engine. It did this:
Carbon what? I'd think a 757 impact would be the main problem for windows. The ones in the renovated section stood up remarkably. They're kick-ass windows, I'm guessing, since everything else indicates a Boeing impact, then they survived that intact.
Another FX oversight? They can blow up the generator, rip the fence down, make everything cartoony and forget to break enough windows?

With all due respect, none of those cable spools looked touched by any alleged plane.

First, nothing personal - I don't mean to sound harsh, but I've just been thru this drill too many times so...
It wasn't 'swallowed by' the building. It forced itself down the building's throat.

With all due respect and no harm meant with the sarcasm, no, I think they were tipped over and crushed by a REAL plane, not an alleged one.

Has anybody here ever heard about the dozens of people who saw a 757 fly in very low - throught the air RIGHT ABOVE THE GROUND, and impact into the Pentagon, exploding, and thereafter disappearing?

Aside from metaphorical semantics, I still have not seen any evidence any alleged 757 actually impacted any Pentagon wall. That is how the discussion got to this point once again. It has now gone full circle - again.

As for the others, this isn't perfect for scale/angle etc..
but you get the picture, right? This thing wasn't a cube.
Yes! Foundation Damage!

First, if your theory here is true, it can't hardly be a coincidence that the damage happens to match the alleged wing edge impact. This would have o have been fakery, not a backhoe mishap.

Window manufacturer Viracon will receive an award today from the Protecting People First Foundation, following the tragic events of September 11. The foundation was set up after the Oklahoma bombing of 2000. It was established to raise awareness of flying glass hazards from terrorist attacks or natural disasters.
Viracon were the manufacturers of the blast resistant windows used in the Pentagon. These windows had only recently been installed in the region affected by the airplane impact and have been credited with saving potentially thousands of lives.
The windows were being installed as part of a renovation operation which had been partially completed by September 11. At the time of the impact approximately 385 of the blast resistant windows were installed in the Pentagon near the crash site.

If it's "not to scale" then it is wrong and your point is completely moot.
If it is anywhere close to scale then it demonstrates perfectly how the fence/generator damage is irreconcilable with the reported wing tilt.
[...] Your image has the plane completely missing the fence all together!
But the damage goes all the way to the ground level and just so happens to be cookie cutter like curves to make it look like it was from an "engine". My how convenient:
Plus the curve in the vent structure damage is not large enough to accommodate an RB-211 as even your "not to scale" graphic illustrates.
It would have demolished those spools.

A single broken column does not match a "wing" and does not have to have been fabricated on purpose to match a wing.
Plus if it did match that means [...]
