Lets see. A flimsy aluminum airframe versus a hardened concrete wall with blast-resistant windows. Plane loses. Nothing delusional about that.

Actually if you compare both the American Airlines 77 and Air France 447, one thing is odd.
Where are the Acars messages ?
On Air France 447, there were a string of Acars messages (autopilot disagree, Third law messages, descent warnings etc).
What about the American Airlines Flight 77 ?

I don't think we'll ever know for sure at this point. She makes some good points in that interview I linked to though. There are (or at least were) automated defenses for the Pentagon that would have shot the plane down under normal circumstances.
Oh really? And exactly what kind of defenses were they? Exactly where were they located? When were they installed? Command and control system dynamics? C'mon - give us some details.
I think that would leave 3 possibilities, although I'm definitely no expert on it.
No expert? Boy is that an understatement.
It seems to me that it would have to be either something the system wasn't capable of shooting down, something already in the building such as a bomb, or the systems were deactivated.
Or, just a possibility here, the Pentagon didn't have a system of automated ground to air missiles because smarter people then you decided that would be a bad thing to have on a building that was located on the landing approach to a public airport!!!
Did you even bother to read the interview with her that I linked to? I'm guessing no because if you had, many of those questions would be answered. She had TS/SCI clearence so I'd imagine she was pretty well informed about the building she worked in.
