The three most dense parts of an aircraft are the fuselage and the engines, period...of all the pictures I have looked at of the impact site there is but one hole...well sir, that cannot be. That side of the Pentagon had just been re-furbished with high density concrete. You should at a minimum see three distinct holes and additionally see "wing" and "tail" imprints on the building with shattered windows and lots of wing and tail metal on the ground... the wings would not have penetrated the building and the upper portion of the vertical tail above the fuselage would not have either. If you are aware of any photos out there that show three distinct holes I would like to see them. Or any pictures of wing and tail metal or imprint damage to the building.
Your pilot credibility remarks demonstrate that you were not a fighter pilot as you display disdain and disrespect towards me.
Oh yes, the lie you so boldly claim I made. In a normal NTSB aircraft investigation the crash site is treated as a crime scene. The area is taped off and secured, everything is photographed, labeled and put in catalog. The NTSB folks do their investigation and then the makers of the aircraft and engines come in and take the pieces and parts back to their respective companies for their own analysis. Once that is complete the material is normally sent to one of two places.
To my knowledge the only video ever released of the impact on the Pentagon was the two frames of film from the parking lot. There were other video cameras operating that day that could dispel many of the myths of this tragedy.
When an aircraft crashes, even with fuel, heat and fire you will still find identifiable pieces and parts, seat frames, luggage and their contents and unfortunately human tissue as well.
Two Rolls Royce jet engines that are 8 feet wide.
The total length of the impact area is in the neighborhood of 94 feet.

And where did you get those informations? Steel is an excellent heat conductor. Are you aware of the temperatures reached in the WTC fires? Are you aware of the temperature a standard candle can reach?
I suggest you research this information. Again, contact your local firefighters station and ask them about fire and steel.

Not sure why you continue to insist to post that distance shot. Oh well, whatever helps you sleep better.

So is that your answer as to where the holes are??
It's pretty high res, you can zoom in and show us the holes..
I'd point to undicisettembre.blogspot.com... for a photo of the holes, even if it is a composite image, but given how futile this has been in the past, I'm not sure why I bother.
The picture, says Mr Murru, was "obtained by blending 17 high-resolution photographs [...] compensating for perspective distortion where needed."

OK.....despite my reservations, you seem legit about your "experience".
NO....of course I don't have personal on-site accident investigation background experience.

What is assinine is the assumption that an airplane is going to fell a structure over 1000 times more massive by flying into it. The buildings were also made of tougher stuff. Building: steel and concrete. Airplane: predominately aluminum.
More illustration of ignorance. Fire a little bitty magnum round into an engine block and you can destroy the engine. Do some checking into the angle clips that attached the trusses to the vertical supports.

Its easy to tell when you have gotten the best of someone. They resort to assinine comparisions.

I look at the Vietnam War, specifically the Gulf of Tonkin incident as an idea how the public will react. President Johnson KNOWINGLY lied before Congress when he claimed the vietcong attacked us. We know this truth from the President's own library tapes and NSA documents released. Are there vietnam vets protesting in the streets ? what happened to all of those peace loving hippies in the 60s ?
58,000 dead american soldiers, millions of vietnamese killed on both sides. thousands more dead from cancer causing agent orange sprayed. hundreds of thousands of homeless vets suffering from drug abuse, post traumatic stress syndrome, and depression. Unimaginable damage to Vietnam's environment, culture, and families.
and nobody seems to care. nothing surprises me anymore when the massive vietnam lie is ignored

Man, I hate to break it to you but you essentially said nothing. You have proved nothing. You do not know what you are talking about. The NIST theory is nothing but sophistry. And that is all you have.
Ok, I told you that it wouldn't matter. I am glad that I didn't take the time to explain it to you. Heat does directly affect the atomic structure of steel. Look it up. Obviously you do not know what you are talking about. Keep spreading your misinformation. You look like you know what you are talking about.
By the way, did you take a college level course for metallurgy?
EDIT: I am about to leave for welding lab. Yes, I do deal with steel everyday. This is my last semester of a two year program. Your post makes me laugh, thank you, I needed a laugh before I leave.edit on 25-2-2011 by liejunkie01 because: EDIT
Heat will weaken steal. The question is how much fuel and oxygen are required for how much steel.
Listen to yourself. You are saying that because you are taking a welding cirriculum you are an expert on metallurgy? I wish you success on that.
I am not a christian but I do believe that some of us need to remove the log from our eye before trying to remove a sliver from someone elses.
You have proven nothing. Your condescending attitude counts for squat.
You are obviously a TROLL. Here is what I said about my college metullurgy experience. and I quote:
Now I am in now way saying that I know everything on metallurgy. I am saying that I have had a college course on this subject. I have my tests and notes near me. I am what you could say a little educated on this topic.
Did I say I was an expert? I obviously know way more on how steel reacts to extreme heat and cold than you do.You have no sense of reasoning, and therefore I am done debating this with you. I will eventually make a nice thread on my take on the towers steel capabilities and u2u the facts.
I just asked my teacher about how the towers fell. He is a professor and he is not a mainstream type of guy. As a matter of fact he is one of the people I credit for my serious awakening. He spelled it out for me in an extreme technical manner. A manner I wish not to share with you right now because you obviosly are oblivious to any sort of conscious reasoning.
Have a good day TROLL.edit on 25-2-2011 by liejunkie01 because: spelling

You can verify independently the behaviour of steel at different temperatures. I suggest you contact the closest Firefighters station and ask them about fires in steel buildings.
yet did NOT do its job because ALUMINUM was able to penetrate into so many rings ---made of steel and concrete. The building seems to have COMPLETELY FAILED in that an aluminum 757 acted more like a BUNKER BUSTER.
