Flight control surfaces have more authority at high speeds, and in my opinion, the faster you go the easier the plane will fly.

I also think that the total absence of a building facade where the main fuselage, wing roots and engines entered the building, and the missing 5 main support colums on the outer wall clearly illustrate the damage.

I think seeing as it's now been proved that the official flight path is wrong, and the plane could not have done the damage in that pic due to the angle of impact being wrong, then you're waisting your time time here.
Also if you really look you can see, as you mentioned, that it is only facade that is missing and columns are still intact, which indicates the facade was blown out wards and not destroyed by the impact of wings and engines.
Also your little drawing indicates at least the port engine would have impacted the ground before the plane impacted the wall. So where is the damage to the lawn from that engine and how did the spools survive the hit from the starboard engine?

I understand that those who want to blame the government are arguing the lat/long data is not accurate and the magnetic heading data has been manipulated by evil forces unknown. However I will continue to base my opinions on this evidence until it's proven wrong.

Where is the debris for the wing outboard of the engine?
It didn't go through the building. It didn't disintegrate. Its made of very thick spars and there are huge machined parts that support the flaps when extending and retracted, there are actuators plus the fuel is in the wings.
Where are the pieces of the horizontal and vertical sections of the tail?
There is no holes where they went through. There are even several window panes intact right where the tail would have hit. They couldn't have disinegrated they are too well built of heavy extrusions. There is no way heavy vertical spars are going to disintegrate. Where did all of this metal go. Its not lying on the ground in front.
Look at where the outboard wing section would have hit. Do you see massive blast damage from explosion of thousands of gallons of jet fuel. I don't.
No. There is no evidence that a Boeing 757 hit the Pentagon. None.

The mock plane in the last photo is tilted and pointed slight down this in my opinion would have never made it through three layers of the pentagon.

And further more with all the disintegration talk of the wings and tail, but yet the fuselage was strong enough to make it through 3 layers over 9 feet of steel re-enforced concrete, but the nose of the 757 pierced a hole in the last layer and did not disintegrate?

Come on! That nose cone would have disintegrated just like the wing and tail of the plane just like everyone is saying and pointing out.

Bet then again, on the other hand, they did succsessfully make 70-80 AA pasengers dissapear without a trace. They succesfully planted all those fake airplane parts without ANYONE seeing them, and they cut down all those lightpoles and placed one on the hood of a taxi without ANYONE seeing them, and they planted the explosives in the building without being detected. Any they found hundreds of accomplices in the FBI, CIA, Army, AirForce, NTSB, FAA, Arlington Police Department, Arlington Fire Department, Pentagon Police, DC Police...all who have kept their secrets......not one single wistleblower with a guilty conscience.
Freaking Amazing.
Originally posted by ULTIMA1 It does not take much to see that their are a lot of things wrong with the official story.
How did the nose of a 757 which is fragile composite go through a Kevlar reinforced concrete wall ?
Wings will usually shear off when they hit an obstical not disinagrate.
Thier have been whistleblowers but the military has threatened and punished people who speak out against 911.

Mr. Lear is the Tail of the plane as structurally as strong as the fuselage? Wouldn't there be something left of it?
Lightweight materials contribute to the overall efficiency of the 757 models. Improved aluminum alloys, primarily in the wing skins, save 610 pounds (276 kilograms). Advanced composites such as graphite/epoxy are used in control surfaces (including rudder, elevators and ailerons), aerodynamic fairings, engine cowlings and landing gear doors for a weight savings of 1,100 pounds (500 kilograms). Another 650 pounds (295 kilograms) of weight savings is attributable to carbon brakes, which have the added advantage of longer service life than conventional steel brakes.
