We all know 9/11 was an inside job,
Yes, I expect concrete would stop a delicate structure such as a wing. However, you'd expect that a plank of wood would stop something as delicate as a piece of straw (straw as in the vegetable matter from harvesting, not a drinking straw). Still, there are cases in which a straw penetrated a piece of wood or a tree after a tornado. So the "obvious" isn't always what happens.

How do tornadoes do some weird things, like drive straw into trees, strip road pavement and drive splinters into bricks?
The list of bizarre things attributed to tornadoes is almost endless. Much of it is folklore; but there are some weird scenes in tornado damage. Asphalt pavement may strip when tornado winds sandblast the edges with gravel and other small detritus, eroding the edges and causing chunks to peel loose from the road base. Storm chasers and damage surveyors have observed this phenomenon often after the passage of a violent tornado. With a specially designed cannon, wind engineers at Texas Tech University have fired boards and other objects at over 100 mph into various types of construction materials, duplicating some of the kinds of "bizarre" effects, such as wood splinters embedded in bricks. Intense winds can bend a tree or other objects, creating cracks in which debris (e.g., hay straw) becomes lodged before the tree straightens and the crack tightens shut again. All bizarre damage effects have a physical cause inside the roiling maelstrom of tornado winds. We don't fully understand what some of those causes are yet, however; because much of it is almost impossible to simulate in a lab

What we saw on TV on Sept.11th was fake and not in real-time. This is not
to say an airplane was not involved (perhaps) , it simply means the planes
we were shown did not hit the building.

How many angles of the "melting plane" video are you aware of? You
do know about the conflicting angles of attack, correct?
Do you acutally believe a 4 inch x 208 foot x 40 foot slab of concrete,
coupled with steel beams and steel floor pans ( x seven floors) can be
sliced by a 767 wing?
Keep in mind this wing is hitting the floors nearly perpendicular. ..wing
tips and all?
Go back to school Disco.

By far the most abstract angle of explanation from that day, had to be at the commission regarding....
Q). `How/why did WTC7 collapse?`.
A). `No one mention it`.
Priceless, absolutely priceless.

Come on PT, think about it:
How do the wings go through spanderals at the same velocity as 4 inch concrete floors supported by steel floor pans and trusses?

Why would they have to? The plane and structure were both being destroyed. If the floors cut the plane as they were being cut, at some point the pieces were independent of one another and still moving through the building. The parts of highest ballistic coefficient would go the furthest and do the most physical damage while the parts containing fuel would scatter and ignite.
