talisman, I don't know. I admit, evidence is not forthcoming as relates to the Pentagon.
The core of a Fan Jet could, with all of the kinetic energy it has, pass right through a floor of the WTC. And, subseqently, fall to the ground.
The Pentagon is an entirely differently built structure. On a B757 the most massive, and densest components, are of course the two engines.
In the wheel well, there are other fairly strong components, and I mentioned the gear was obviously retracted...the gear struts are reasonably
massive, made of steel I believe. Hydraulic tanks, as well, are steel. Though, they aren't all that big, at most 2 feet in diameter.
The Flight Recorders were recovered, were they not, from AA77? If the airplane was flown, with gear retracted, for just a few seconds close to the
ground, the GPWS (reading the Radio Altimeter) will sound, and it will say 'Too Low, Gear" "Too Low, Flaps" "Too Low, Gear" "Too Low,
Flaps"...it will cycle between both warnings, that's what a GPWS does.
Is this, are these warnings recorded on the CVR??? Check it out. Because I don't know.
