I suggest the right wing and tailfin became the innumerable silver (plane? building?) scraps seen on the lawn, as DBS has pointed out with may small arrows showing them clearly. I'm sure you have random problems with that propsition too, but I'm proposing it again anyway.
And true enough, the official reports linking this with plane ID numbers is not forthcoming, and we can't say if it was AA77 or some other B-757 or similar model plane. But I still say it fits, and you are entitled to your own opinion. Keep trying to prove me wrong if you like tho. I'm willing to admit if I see new evidence.

It wasn't a plane. Only reason is that a plane filled with that much fuel would have burned for days.

That's funny because that's not true.

Sry but no the answer was not sufficient sry.
And did you look at the second picture? That one shows the 1st floor, not the 2nd floor. (or ground and 1st floor for the Brits)...
And again no engine entered the building, both the damage to the wall and lack of engines found, are not consistent with your claim.

Again with the orange tarp or whatever that is. No one has been able to explain how that's supposed to be an engine. Usually associated with A3 Skywarrior theories it seems... So what do yoou thik Ultima? Can you see it, or are you just posting random pics? Are you making some kinda case here or what?

And still no one can site the sixteen foot hole for me. C'mon guys, Lear, Realtruth, Kix, if it can't fit, tell me where it can't fit? Were you all just making that up based on something you read? Call my 100-foot area a hole or not a hole if you like, gimme a letter got what IS the hole.

...the vertical tail intersection with the horizontal stabilizer and seen the massive structure that is part of this unit. To those that had it would been evident that this section never penetrated the Pentagon because of its sheer size and mass. So where is it? No, it is not in a thousand little itty bitty pieces of aluminum all over the Pentagon lawn. Those little itty bitty pieces of aluminum are for use by disinformation artists to use on the extremely gullible.
I don't believe DBS or any others trying to convince the gullible that a Boeing 757 ever flew into thePentagon could ever get a:
Boeing 757 pilot
Current and qualified
Identified by real name and FAA Certificate number
to say:
"I (state your name) believe that a Boeing 757, for which I am current and qualified to operate as Captain hereby state that I believe that a similar Boeing 757 crashed into the Pentagon on September 11, 2001."
The reason this will never happen is that knowledgeable people know that it could not have happened.

Well if you look at the second photo that has the block drawn around what looks like a engine section. It would be nice of we had more of the photos the FBI took and thier reports on what type of engine and if they got any numbers off of it.

JOHNLEAR, what do you think of the military guy who was close to the building and stated he saw the plane lower the landing gear as it was hitting the light poles. What pilot would lower the landing gear at that speed?
Originally posted by johnlear
I never actually saw or heard that quote but depending on what speed one thinks the airplane was traveling anywhere from a reasonable 400 mph to an insanely stupid 500 kts, if someone lowered the gear, there would be a giganticly obvious yaw either left or right depending on which door came down first. The doors would not come down exactly the same because of various dynamics. I have never flown the 757 but the gear extension has to take at least 10 seconds because the door has to open first and then the gear itself extends, then the inner door goes back up.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30, 2003 - Many courageous military and
civilian men and women have been honored for their
actions after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on
New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
But only one member of the Air Force received the
Airman's Medal, the nation's highest award for heroism
not involving combat with an enemy. He also received the
Purple Heart for his injuries.
Senior Master Sgt. Noel Sepulveda, 53, a Hispanic-
American member of the Air Force Reserve, was a medical
inspector at the Air Force Inspection Agency, Kirtland
Air Force Base, N.M. But on Sept. 11, 2001, he was
working at the Pentagon as a reserve program manager in
the Air Force Strategies and Policies Office.
As he reached his motorcycle, Sepulveda noticed the
aircraft wasn't following the normal flight path down the
Potomac River for Ronald Reagan Washington National
Airport. Instead, it was coming over a distant hotel,
headed in the direction of the Pentagon.
"It seemed like the pilot was scrambling to keep control,
and I watched as he dropped lower and lower," Sepulveda
said. "Then he dropped his landing gear and started
coming down even faster and lower.
As it came down, the plane was hitting light poles, the
sergeant said. "Then the right wheel hit a light pole and
the plane popped into a 45-degree angle. The pilot tried
to recover -- go back vertical – but he hit some more
light poles.
"He dipped the plane's nose slightly, and then smashed
into the building," said Sepulveda, who was presented the
Airman's Medal and Purple Heart by Air Force Chief of
Staff Gen. John P. Jumper at the Pentagon April 15, 2002.
Sepulveda said the wings disintegrated, and then
disappeared. "For a brief second, you could see the
fuselage sticking out of the side of the Pentagon,"
Sepulveda recalls. "Then, all of a sudden, this ball of
fire comes out from inside. It looked like it was just
coming from inside the building, engulfing the fuselage.
And then the fuselage was all gone."
Sepulveda said the sweltering heat felt like it was
engulfing his body. "Then, suddenly, it felt like
somebody grabbed me, put their hands on his chest, picked
me up and threw me back against the light pole I was
standing by," he said.
"The back of my head, my back, and all that hit the
pole," he said. "Small pieces of shrapnel from the
airplane hit my motorcycle."
When he managed to get up a few minutes later, he ran to
the impact site to try to help people trapped inside the
building.
Yes, i know how landing gear works, i was a crew chief. Here is the report.
