Isnt their some pics of planes that have directly crashed into moutains? Isnt their the entire plane left? what makes the Pentagon different from a moutain besides that we should see a higher concentration of the TONS of what used to be a comercial jet?

This link will take you to a website for Sandia Labs. They conducted the F-4 crash test I posted earlier. You can download a hi-res still of the end of the crash. It shows the entire aircraft reduced to pieces no bigger than a six pack, except for the vert stabilizer which has not yet hit the wall.
A McDonnell Douglas F-4 has significantly more stuctural integrity than a 757.
Originally posted by ULTIMA1I do not think you can compare the test of an F-4 being fired into a thick block wall for a nuclear plant to a 757 hitting a reinforced concrete wall.
If the F-4 would have hit the wall at the Pentagon it would have surely gone through because the F-4 is made with steel and titanium, not aluminum and composites like the 757.

Isn't a reactor core enclosure a reinforced concrete wall?
Are you suggesting an F-4, or a similar airframe penetrated the Pentagon?
Are you suggesting an aluminum and carbon composite airframe would easily disintegrate upon impact against reinforced concrete?
Originally posted by ULTIMA11. A reactor wall is about 12-15 feet thick special constructed reinforced wall.
2. I am suggesting that an aluminum airframe would not have punched through the reinforced wall, interior collums and interior walls like the official story states.

I'm trying to be polite here but I just informed you that kinetic energy is a function of mass times acceleration. It doesn't matter what molecular structure makes up the mass...titanium, aluminum, or toilet paper. A given mass (whatever its molecular make-up) travelling at a given speed, exerts a constant and repeatable force. You can fire a q-tip thru 6 ft of concrete if it's velocity is high enough.

I can plainly see that you are not a airplane pilot of any kind. Making good decisions is difficult? You gotta be kidding!!!
Later that year, the Thunderbirds experienced a very close call at Mountain Home AFB in southwestern Idaho. On September 14, 2003, Thunderbird #6 (opposing solo) failed to pull out of a dive but safely ejected at a very low altitude (140 feet), just 0.8 seconds before the aircraft smashed into a fireball and tumbled violently into the sagebrush. The event was the Gunfighter Skies 2003 air show with 85,000 in attendance on a cloudless late summer Sunday afternoon. This mishap occurred while #6 was attempting to perform the opening "Split-S" maneuver, about twenty seconds after takeoff. Pilot error (insufficient altitude) was later determined as the cause and the pilot, 31 year-old Captain Christopher Stricklin, was reassigned to a desk job at the Pentagon. Although the desert terrain is similar, the ground elevation at the Idaho base (2996') is over 1100 feet higher than their home at Nellis AFB (1867') outside of Las Vegas. The pilot had climbed to only 1670 feet above ground level (rather than the required 2500 feet), which did not allow enough room for him to safely pull out of the dive. Upon realizing his unrecoverable mistake, the pilot steered the F-16C away from the crowd just before ejection. Fortunately, the pilot incurred only minor injuries, and waved to the crowd after safely landing, signaling he was physically OK. There were no injuries to anyone on the ground, and other than the loss of the $20 million aircraft, there was no damage to property. The cockpit video of the ejection is in the External Links section below, and a picture is available here.

Hmm, then why didn't the F-4 penatrate the block wall, it was going about the same speed as that 757 at the Pentagon, maybe because of the structures ???

No. Because the F-4 has about 25% of the mass of a 757 and 25% of the impact force.
However it's much more substantial structural integrity did not prevent it from being atomized.

This General was in charge of armies imagery intelligence expert that measured scientific and technical on photos during the cold war.

So the plane that was supposed to have hit was taken somewhere and the people killed?
How many individuals actually saw the plane that morning near the pentagon? Too many to all be fake?
i.e. Interegator: So tell me about the 757 that you saw fly into the pentagon.
Eyewitness (Now positive that the object must have been a 757, due to leading questioning tells the story)
