My beef is that all these hijackers that went to flight school apparently didn't care to learn the art of landing, but the plane that hit the Pentagon was essentially landing into the Pentagon. SMH

I have never understood how you get the nose of a jet passenger plane to hit the Pentagon wall at ground level and not have it standing on it's nose at the moment of impact. The nose is a good ways above the ground. That's why they use ladders to get into the plane.
This would have put it's tail setion at or above the top of the building.

I am talking right after the impact, like before the wall collapsed. Would a high velocity impact cause whatever did not end up inside the pentagon to shatter into tyiny debries, so that the wings and any such are scattered over a wide area and can not be identified as such in the immediate impact area?
Yes it would. Here's a video that has been posted countless times before of such a test- once upon a time there was concern of what would happen if a place crashed into a nuclear plant so they ran a test to find out. The high speed cameras show the plane was all but vaporised by the heavy concrete wall. This is because the wall is solid and the plane is hollow, so physics ain't on the plane's side.
Granted, the walls of the Pentagon weren't this thick and heavy, but it's also obvious that a plane crashing into the Pentagon can't be remotely compared to a crash site where the plane landed on its belly in an open field either.
Blast expert Allyn E. Kilsheimer was the first structural engineer to arrive at the Pentagon after the crash and helped coordinate the emergency response. "It was absolutely a plane, and I'll tell you why," says Kilsheimer, CEO of KCE Structural Engineers PC, Washington, D.C. "I saw the marks of the plane wing on the face of the building. I picked up parts of the plane with the airline markings on them. I held in my hand the tail section of the plane, and I found the black box." Kilsheimer's eyewitness account is backed up by photos of plane wreckage inside and outside the building. Kilsheimer adds: "I held parts of uniforms from crew members in my hands, including body parts. Okay?"- Popular Mechanics
Why wasn't the hole as wide as a 757's 124-ft.-10-in. wingspan? A crashing jet doesn't punch a cartoon-like outline of itself into a reinforced concrete building, says ASCE team member Mete Sozen, a professor of structural engineering at Purdue University. In this case, one wing hit the ground; the other was sheared off by the force of the impact with the Pentagon's load-bearing columns, explains Sozen, who specializes in the behavior of concrete buildings. What was left of the plane flowed into the structure in a state closer to a liquid than a solid mass. "If you expected the entire wing to cut into the building," Sozen tells PM, "it didn't happen."

No one said 'no plane' most people are saying no 757 hit the pentagon, because no 757 did hit the pentagon.

I'm so confused on how exactly these plane parts traveled through the Pentagon to create the "punch out hole". What exactly continued throughout the Pentagon and exited the C ring? Landing gear & fuselages? Where would the passengers strapped to their seats end up? I'm not an expert in engineering or physics so I have no clue lol

I don't understand your point. If you're not an expert in physics or engineering...and I'm going out on a limb here and speculate you're not a crash site forensics specialist either...then why the heck are you bickering over what should or should not have specifically happened to that specific type of plane when it hit that specific building in the specific way it did?
It's as if you're arguing over what color you're going to get when you mix two cans of paint without knowing what colors are in the cans to begin with.

two words...APRIL GALLUP
Seems pretty obvious from this picture that either a missile was launched from this plane, or this plane is flight 77 and a missile/drone was launched by other means, and eye witnesses didnt notice flight 77 flying off because the explosion caused confusion.

Are you for real?

You just got done saying that all the witnesses were gov agents. So why would you now say eye witnesses didn't notice?
See that's been the problems with ALL truthers. You can't get your stories straight.
You need to all get behing one and only one story and stick to it. You need to have evidence to support your ONE story.
But alas with each truther comes a different story.
But the OSers have had the same story from the beginning. And we have proof!
