Who planted debris?

The pictures/video of this paticular incident are what caused me to begin to question the whole 9/11 explanation in the first place. Absolute proof....not so sure about that. Proof beyond a resonable doubt...even a shadow of a doubt, no. That said, I find it very hard to get past the fact that such minimal damage was caused by such a large aircraft crashing into an immovable object. It just seems to defy logic. However, this is the Pentagon. A defensive structure that was built to withstand impacts. What constuction techniques were employed to withstand an impact, and what type of impact? Was the constuction technique tested, is there any test data? If we are going to put the nail in the coffin on this one, I think these questions are going to have to be answered.
In addition, if the incident is a cover up of a missle impact, what was said to the government agents who knowingly spread the airplane debris around the site within minutes of impact? The fact that the debris was placed within minutes screams prior knowledge, ie they knew it was coming before it happened and were ready. If so, what would motivate them to engage such activity? Was it money or a sense of duty instilled in them based on what they were told, lies or truth?

I'm sure you know by now, but as a reminder, you're up against a formidable opposition here!

Let's pretend that the official story of the Pentagon was and is true; with such little damage, explain to me then, how a plane can take down the twin towers? Makes no sense. One story contradicts another. Far too many coincidences and no proper investigation. My opinion and my gut tells me.. this was an inside job!

Only the largest investigation in history.

That's not true. Weedwhacker is a lot better at this debate than you are. He discusses actual facts and topics, like this one:

It's a valid point. The only thing I know of that was built to withstand such an impact is the containment vessel of a nuclear reactor which is something like reinforced concrete 8 feet thick. (I'm sure there are other things like bunkers too but the nuclear reactor containment vessel happens to be a structure I'm familiar with built to resist impacts). I think we all know the Pentagon wasn't reinforced concrete 8 feet thick even after the structure was strengthened, heck even the new blast resistant windows were only something like 2 inches thick. That's pretty thick for a window, but still a far cry from 8 feet of solid reinforced concrete.

Huh?? THAT'S a new one! Who told you that? Where are the sources to verify that? You see, first time the lie gets started, the rest of your "assumptions" from there build on a foundation of lies and misconception.
..... and then you're gone.

Here, this may help you understand a little better, give it a good read.
By the way, I don't know who is labeling your photos for you, but thats not reinforcing bar in those photos.
The one element of the Pentagon not constructed of reinforced concrete is the outermost perimeter wall. It is the limestone wall that everyone sees on the outside of the building. This article is primarily about the remainder of the 1,000,000 square feet of the lightwell walls which are now undergoing a complete Repair, Rehabilitation, and Protection program.
The Pentagon consists of five separate rings, each approximately 90 feet wide with approximately 30 feet between the rings. The space between the rings is known as the lightwells. Thus, we call the perimeter walls of each ring the lightwell walls. The lightwell walls, constructed of poured in place, reinforced concrete, are both bearing and shear walls
These features were fairly typical of reinforced-concrete construction in the 1940’s, but are not as common today, having been jettisoned in favor of streamlined construction methods that meet safety codes but do not provide the extra protection given the Pentagon.
FDR had insisted that Somervall build the floors strong enough to hold heavy file cabinets; the general ordered them designed to support 150 pounds per square foot, twice the norm. Sixty years later, Roosevelt’s tinkering paid off. The extra steel and concrete and the close spacing of the columns-generally ten, fifteen or twenty feet apart-gave the building reserve strength that helped it withstand the blow. The plane disintegrated against a “forest of columns” on the first floor, the report noted.
The Pentagon’s columns were particularly strong because the builders used spiral rebar-circular coils of reinforcement steel that wound through the columns like a rib cage. Spiral rebar tends to be used more often in seismic zones, because of the added strength it provides when an earthquake shakes a building. Most modern buildings are constructed with straight reinforcement rods, which require less labor. Spiral rebar was more common in the 1940s…”It makes a strong column-strong as the dickens” recalled Donald Walker, the steel rodman who put the rebar into the Pentagon’s beams and columns.
Landing gear? Why are you asking about landing gear?
