because the simplified and clearly tailored description you just gave does not accurately describe the day's events.
NTSB contradicts the 9/11 commission report, which contradicts NIST, which contradicts the Pentagon Report.
the past 38 pages is why there is a debate. please read through them.

Someone tell me one logical explanation as to why they would use a Russian missile thats been sitting on the seafloor....
You asked for a video. Its there, its just not been released. You proclaim that its not been released because it does not fit the official account. Did it ever occur to you that its being withheld because it would detail security information about the Pentagon that they do not want to be public knowledge?

Except it IS that simple.
You just refuse to believe that it could be so simple.
I of course shortened the account of the events of 9/11 in the interest of keeping the post short, that does not change the fact that 19 hijackers did do something very simple.
Tomorrow anyone reading this thread could board an aircraft and hijack it. They dont even need a weapon. They just need to profess they have a bomb in their luggage and its controlled by an ap on their cell phone. They demand to be taken to some place other than their intended destination. Now even if there is an Air marshal on that flight, that plane is going to that other destination. Once its on the ground they will sort out all the consequences, but they are not taking any chances that the person is making the whole thing up.
Its really that simple.
Prior to 9/11 it was easy to travel with knives and other things on aircraft. A person with the will to inflict harm was not going to be stopped if they wanted to push everyone to the back of the plane and take over the cockpit.
It was simple.
With a minimum of training once that is done a person can easily fly an aircraft. Landing is the trouble, but if your intention has nothing to do with landing then you dont have to worry about that.
So yes it is a simple plan.
Truthers refuse to believe it was possible because they cannot understand that will and intent play a huge role in it, or they ascribe a power to the government that it does not actually have.
Government is organized incompetence.
The sheer number of people that would need to be involved to "fake" the event would each be a point of failure.
Any time we design a system or network we must be cognizant of points of failure. The conspiracies dreamed up by truthers ignore this principle and define all manner of detailed, precise, covert and complex procedures that would be required to work flawlessly to "fake" something like this.
Its very simple to execute this plan the way the hijackers did it, it would be impossible to execute it as a multi-layered conspiracy AND keep it secret for this entire time.
Now if you want to talk about WHO the hijackers were and WHO paid them and WHO set them in motion then thats a different story. Plenty of discussion and possibilities in that regard.
As to why there are inconsistencies in the investigations that's again a simple answer. Multiple groups working on them. Many different hands in the pot produce different results. Remember I just told you about big groups and multiple points of failure? The reports of the investigation are proof of that principle. All the different investigators have different perspectives on the evidence. It should surprise no one that two people can look at evidence and come to different conclusions. Thats the point I made in my first post. All things are a potential cause of the evidence, what we have to look at is what is the most likely, most probable and most plausible. Even then two people will have slightly different versions of the events.
Its possible that an asteroid hit the pentagon on 911 and it was purely a coincidental event to the other strikes.
That however is not the most likely cause of the event. The evidence when taken in totality says that it was just as simple as the other strikes.
Hijackers took control of the aircraft and drove it into the building.
There are multiple witnesses that saw an aircraft hit the building
There are multiple photos and videos showing aircraft debris around and in the site
There are multiple witnesses that were in the building recovering the dead and wounded who saw airplane parts all inside of the pentagon
There are multiple....blah blah. Its all there you just refuse to believe it.
You asked for a video.
Its there, its just not been released.
You proclaim that its not been released because it does not fit the official account.
Did it ever occur to you that its being withheld because it would detail security information about the Pentagon that they do not want to be public knowledge? Its entirely possible that the video is of really poor quality because the security cameras are really old and cant really see very much detail. They dont want people to know how easy it would be to get pass those cameras. Its also possible that many of the cameras are actually fake and dont even produce a recording. This is the government we are talking about.

Given the history of the WTC which had already been attacked by middle eastern terrorists in 1993 using a truck bomb, which theory sounds more logical?
If you were going to not follow option 1, why would you not just utilize a bigger truck bomb?
If you have access to all these sites to set up nukes or thermite or controlled demolition charges, then you should be capable of just putting 25000 lbs of c4 into a truck and getting into the garage of the WTC and setting it off.
No logic at all.
These people have been watching to many James Bond movies.
You have any idea the damage to New York that a noncontrolled collapse of the WTC twin towers could potentially do? If the twin towers collapsed and fell uncontrolled multiple buildings could potentially be severely damaged and also collapse and the chaos and carnage could be far bigger. The economic effects far drastic.
