One of the problems from the public's point of view and a golden opportunity from a propagandist's point of view is that Hollywood movies have conditioned Americans, and indeed people everywhere, to accept impossible scenarios as plausible.

I am having trouble coming up with an appropriate missile for that. Such things as a Global Hawk are more surveillance tools. A Tomahawk LAM might be appropriate but those and GH are all turbojets. Another aircraft firing a Hellfire missile is solid fuel and air-launched but that doesn't take out the light standards with a large wing profile, just has fins, etc., etc.

He fully believes it was Al Qaeda/Osama Bin Laden that attacked us that day. His problem was the massive CYA done by various individuals to hide their ineptitude.
The nosecone would have hit the 2nd floor, while the tail section would have been up near the 3rd floor (the tail section tip is about 45' from the ground). For the tail section to go through the 2nd floor, the plane would have to be on its belly (meaning the engines were gone and there would be tandem impact trenches in the yard for atleast 200' before the impact).

But what say you to Flight 77 (Pentagon)? Where do you suppose that plane disappeared to?
It clearly.... without a doubt....did not hit the Pentagon so, where did it go? Was it even a real flight that day?

Sorry. Wrong on all accounts (well not quite all... second floor hole was the flight deck and the structural part of the tail, not just the tail ). See the scale drawing in the bottom right cell in the image below.
Are you seeing the 90+ foot hole now, by the way?
(Don't forget to use the scroll bar to see the right side of the image)edit on 27/12/2010 by rnaa because: added mea culpa about the tail section causing the 2nd floor hole
Below is a 757's engine. See any size difference?
