So where is the 10 foot hole...??

Thank you for bringing up such a relevant point, comparing and contrasting the damage done in 2 different locations, WTC and Pentagon, by essentially the same airplane.
One makes a huge hole, the other a hole 10 feet wide. It is laughable, as is the whole story.
Thanks again

If you pardon the expresion YOU are looking in the WRONG hole. There was a collapse of the facade of the pentagon and the hole truther sites show is NOT the initial damage to the building.
There is no damage to the GLASS windows which are less than 7 ft from the hole itself.
Certainly the threat of any kind of terrorist attack on the building was far from the thoughts of the original designers. As a result, the Pentagon was constructed with a thin limestone facade over a brick infill between reinforced concrete floors, structurally supported by a reinforced concrete beam and column frame. Enough to protect from the elements but not from the potential forces of significant blast events.
Eventually, all of the nearly 8,000 windows in the Pentagon will be replaced with fixed double-pane glass mirroring the original architecture but offering improved thermal and ultraviolet filtering properties. However, the new exterior outermost E-Ring windows facing the perimeter roadways and the innermost A-Ring windows (at the courtyard center of the complex), being the most vulnerable, will be blast resistant. The new windows are an insulated, laminated, fully-tempered assembly that is designed to absorb and resist the blast loads without shattering into small projectiles or leaving the frame as a single unit. This design meets the client criteria for translucency and energy efficiency, as well as for safety in a blast event.

So DO I not the tiny hole claimed by truther sites.
Now you posted a previous link of buildings on fire which were actually concrete YOU really need to start checking your sources.

Just guess work and scientific ignorance. It's not a scalable model. It doesn't accurately reflect anything.
Yet again. If you are gonna claim conspiracy you need to solve it all. Can't just point at one little bit. Every singe tiny detail needs an explanation. This is where all conspiracies fall apart.
For the doubters, could anyone of you tell me how many people need to be involved to organise and carry out this utterly massive cover up? Once you've hypothesised a number, can you explain why it's managed to stay silent?
Black operations are planned and executed all over the globe regularily. Very few of any of the details come to light and when they do it almost never tells the whole story. Deals get made, gag orders get sent out and evidence gets sealed, regardless if the operation caused the lives of innocents to be lost.
With the newly established homeland security getting access to all agencies investigations, and a war on terror in full swing, it really would not be difficult to gag and seal any piece of testimony or evidence that came to light before it got any attention. The majority of innocent government employees would believe they are doing their job while handing the info to the appropriate department. Whats to blow the whistle on?
There are many corporations out there with 10's of thousands of employees, all playing a part in a single objective to sell a product. The one that sells it has no idea how it is made, the lawyers and lobbyists that protect it have no idea if it is stolen or safe. It called compartmentalizing.
Your argument is not original nor is it meant to raise any doubts to the believers in a cover up. It is simply meant to brag.
You have thousands of people all keeping a terrible terrible secret. Not a single one breaks or leaks or anything like that. You must surely realise the highly improbable nature of what you are suggesting?

That picture has been on the net for a while the red line was not done by me and what you see is damaged columns not windows. The real biased picture are the truther ones of the punched hole in one of the inner walls or showing the facade at a higher level through smoke & foam.

Only for the gullible and incurious is it laughable.
For the curious and those paying attention, it is yet another piece of evidence on the very high pile of evidence that contradicts the official story, that makes the story impossible.
The same plane makes fairly large hole in steel building, but in concrete Pentagon the hole is so small those first on the scene could barely see it.
And most importantly fails miserably to address the different constructor materials. But hey. It is laughable.
