An airplane that was shredded on impact, but still managed to fly through SIX 3-foot thick walls of brick and reinforced concrete and dozens of concrete support columns, punching out a perfectly round 8-foot diameter hole.

It really makes me wonder why someone would spend as much time in these threads unless you were of course being compensated for your efforts. Either that or you have a giant ego and get off in trying to be that guy that thinks he knows everything.
The hijacked airliner punched a 100-foot-wide hole through three of the five rings (six walls) in the Pentagon's west facade, which is five stories high. The outside walls consisted of 10 inches of concrete behind 8 inches of brick. Those layers were clad in limestone panels nearly 6 inches thick. Masonry at the point of impact was gone, but much of the limestone cladding on either side of the strike point was intact. The limestone panels were 5 feet wide, nearly 2 feet high, about 6 inches thick, and weighed about 600 pounds.
We have been told to believe matter-of-factly that some mass from the airplane survived the initial impact and explosion, maintained its immense forward thrust, threaded its way through a 300-foot maze of stout reinforced concrete pillars, hit an exterior wall made up of 21 inch square steel reinforced concrete covered with 6 inches of limestone façade and 8 inches of brick backed with Kevlar mesh with such massive force that it punched a huge, neat, circular cut-out exit hole. And then, in a miracle as yet unexplained, that same mass with such potent forward thrust decelerated and disintegrated in the span of 30 feet, leaving not a mark on the next wall in its path, nor a physical trace of its existence.
No official explanation has been given in response to the obvious problems inherent in this given official narrative. None of the engineering or official structural reports that investigated the Pentagon crash and partial collapse, including the 9/11 Commission Report, bother to explain the exit hole.

The REAL focus ought to be on the machinations that the Bush administration are responsible for, that has led to this despicable situation in the Middle east. It is a quagmire, and entirely their fault.

We're trying. Thanks for your help. NOT.

Many researchers have asserted that whatever produced the C-Ring hole had to pass through six masonry walls, since it had to traverse three rings -- C, D, and E. However the exterior walls between the outermost three rings did not go down to ground level, since the intervening light-wells were only three stories deep. The outer three rings were unified on the first and second floors, meaning that the only heavy structures between the facade and the C-Ring wall with the hole were occasional columns. Thus it is plausible that an engine could have passed through the three rings, missing the reinforced concrete pillars, and puncturing the C-Ring wall.
Impact damage to the interior of the Pentagon was primarily on the first floor, and extended in a tapering swath from the first-floor facade puncture to the vicinity of the C-Ring punch-out hole.
Floor Space Between Facade and C-Ring is Mostly Unobstructed
On the first and second floors, the Pentagon has continuous interior space extending from the facade to the inner-facing wall of the C-Ring, joining the C-, D-, and E-Rings. This is because the light wells between the C- and D-Rings and between the D- and E-Rings only descend to the bottom of the third floor. The only structural elements interrupting this space are columns apparently spaced on 10-foot centers along the direction perpendicular to the facade, with each first-floor column having a square cross-section measuring 21 inches on a side.
A figure on the left shows a path from the center of the facade impact puncture to the center of the C-Ring punch-out hole. That path could describe the path of fuselage debris from the facade to the C-Ring wall, where it could have produced the punch-out hole. It shows that there was a narrow path for that debris between the columns left standing by the crash.
Olson's third wife,[6] Barbara Olson, was a passenger on the hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 that crashed into the E Ring of the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 (his 61st birthday). The following year Olson met Lady Booth, a tax attorney and native of Kentucky, and the two were married on October 21, 2006, in Napa County, California.

• Was confirmed as Solicitor General (the person appointed to represent the Government of the United States before the Supreme Court of the United States) in May 2001

As I was reading this thread, I realized, as someone who considers himself very knowledgeable about 911 matters, I did not really know anything about Ted Olsson.
I have to say I do take wiki entries, and their selective info with a grain of salt. Nonetheless, here is what wiki says about his "personal life"

heres link for the wiki entry: en.wikipedia.org...
I'd so love to know if he indeed met this woman in 2002, or if he was a loyal husband or not during the time of the attacks. As trivial as this may sound, it would certainly define the man who became a key witness, who discussed his wife blowing in to pieces, on TV, with nothing less than a bizarre calmness.
When you look at his pedigree (same wiki entry) here's what one sees:

The evidence presented to this trial by the FBI included a report on phone calls from all four 9/11 flights. In its report on American Flight 77, the FBI report attributed only one call to Barbara Olson that lasted “0 seconds.”
