The Pentagon report also made note of the fact that:
"With the possible exception of the immediate vicinity of the fuselage’s entry point at column line 14, essentially all interior impact damage was inflicted in the first story: The aircraft seems for the most part to have slipped between the first-floor slab on grade and the second floor."
That is impossible as the following graphic will show. Note the pink line, where the "13 ft cylinder" is supposed to have slipped "under."

...tends to lend a bit more credence to having been spun, thrown, twisted, damaged, etc ... no?

yes i challenge that claim.
the "damaged spool" is not a recognizable spool at all

I am just amazed at this. Are you telling me that someone has to fly a plane that close to the ground and exactly parallel to get into that tiny hole? Who flew that plane anyway? That is some great flying.

If it was damaged, would it be recognizable?

The image in impact is much brighter than any of the other 4 images. The brightness is higher throughout the image, not just in regions that would be illuminated by the bright explosion. There is no evidence of shadows from the explosion that is supposedly the source of the heightened brightness. Note the setback in the facade in the middle of the images to the right. The setback is considerably closer than the explosion, yet it casts no shadow on the portion of the facade just in front of it. There is also an absence of any evidence of even faint shadows from other objects, such as the structures in the vicinity of the camera. The sky is also brighter and a different hue, as if an explosion could brighten a clear sky.
The last three frames show an explosion with a shape that is roughly axially symmetric around a vertical axis. The center of the impact zone lies approximately behind the center of the helicopter control tower. That places the central axis of the explosion well inside of the building -- easily 100 feet behind the facade. But the part of the building above the impact hole did not collapse until well after the impact and explosion. How could an explosion evolve in such a symmetrical manner around the obstacle of the building without reflecting the shape of the building? The only plausible explanation is that the explosion imagery was superimposed on the building through image manipulation.
By the last of the five frames, the explosion, which appears to extend to at least four times the building's height, has become dark with soot. Yet the huge explosion casts no shadow from the sun on the lawn below it. Shadows of other objects show that the sun is low in the southeast, as one would expect at 9:40 AM in September. The Pentagon's wall, which faces almost due west, casts long shadows extending to the left and toward the camera. But there is sunlight-illuminated lawn directly left of the huge explosion. The uppermost swath of white in the enlargement to the right is part of the heliport, which was directly under portions of the explosion. Yet it is illuminated by direct sunlight.

Why is it such a stretch? If it was an engine impact you're talking about an area that's only about 6 feet across. Prove that the damaged spools are still in the same place they were when they were hit. Do you really think that the spool is just going to sit in the exact same spot after getting hit by the engine? It's gonna go spilling and move. How do you know that it's sitting in the exact same spot it started in?

Really? Explain that to me then How does saying a jet engine hitting a spool an t spinning and moving disregarding or ignoring kinetitc impact?

Imagine what conjecture would be expounded in its absense.

The clear evidence that the video frames were manipulated further discredits the idea that the release of these images was just a miscalculation on the part of people involved in the cover-up. The source of these images must have known that they show a vapor trail, an obscured aircraft that is clearly not a 757, and an explosion that could not have resulted from jet fuel combustion alone. It is unreasonable to think that this set of five frames is anything other than a planned part of the cover-up. They fueled theories that the Pentagon crash involved a small plane and a missile, rather than a jetliner such as Flight 77. The perpetrators have correctly predicted that controversy between people rejecting and insisting that Flight 77 crashed at the Pentagon would divide skeptics.
