No. Not mad. Curious. Again, how old are you? You might gain some credibility by answering this simple question.
But to go "Whaa! Mommy! I don't like his argument. It's outrages (sic). He disagrees with me. I'm gonna shut him down!" is telling.edit on 6/17/2011 by dubiousone because: Clarification and to be a bit nicer.

umm...yes. the physics doesn't change. each engine weighs 6 tons, at 530 mph, that is 1244294.59 newtons of force! just for one engine alone! it would not "bend". as we see with the twin towers, such force plows through.

Come on now, the WTC buildings are NOT the pentagon (which is a reinforced concrete building). A crashing jet doesn't punch a cartoon-like outline of itself into a reinforced concrete building like it did with the WTC buildings. Now I did some more research and found out I may have been wrong about the wings folding back. Mete Sozen (He specializes in the behavior of concrete buildings) said in this case though, one wing hit the ground; the other was sheared off by the force of the impact with the Pentagon's load-bearing columns. What was left of the plane flowed into the structure in a state closer to a liquid than a solid mass. "If you expected the entire wing to cut into the building, it didn't happen."

What happened to the wing that your source says hit the ground? What happened to the engine on that wing? You're apparently saying that this engine did not magically enter through the center hole. So where did it go? Why aren't there any gouge marks where that wing hit the ground? The engine is the lowest part of the wing and would have hit the ground first. Why isn't there a hole where that engine hit the pentagon wall? That wing would have been ripped off the plane and its parts scatteered all over the lawn. But they weren't there.
What happened to the wing that your source says was "sheared off by the force of the impact with the Pentagon's load-bearing columns"? Why wasn't there any evidence of where that wing impacted the wall before it entered deep enough to be sheared off by the load-bearing columns? What happened to the engine on that wing. Since that engine did not enter the small center hole, it would have created its own massive 2nd or 3rd hole in the Pentagon wall. But there was no 2nd or 3rd massive hole to be seen!
To understand what really happened and, as important, what did not happen, you must evaluate what others are telling you. Don't just accept their statements at face value. Ask the questions that elicit the information that is needed in order to flesh out the unstated assumptions which have to be true in order for their assertions to be true. When you do that you'll discover that the underlying unstated assumptions are improbable and often impossible based upon accepted principles of physics and natural law.edit on 6/17/2011 by dubiousone because: Spelling.

The only one making assumptions is you by saying time and time again what the wing "would" do or what "would" happen therefore making any other possibility impossible. I already answered your question...."What was left of the plane flowed into the structure in a state closer to a liquid than a solid mass". I know it's a simple unsatisfying answer but it's been proven to happen many times with reinforced concrete.

"That's utter nonsense" is such a cop out, I sourced Popular Mechanic's which has a way more respected opinion than yourself. You sound upset like you just found out Santa Clause isn't real, a plane isn't made of kryptonite so why is it so hard for you to grasp that fact that when it hits reinforced concrete that there won't be much left of it. If anything is utter nonsense, it's your assumptions.

Popular Mechanics' publication on these issues has been thoroughly debunked. Do a little research on ATS and you'll find the threads where its debunking is discussed in detail.

i don't understand what you're trying to get at with the "poles knocked down" argument. the PM article is a sad joke. it completely ignores the whole "molten steel" argument by never mentioning that molten steel was found. it also claims 800-1500 F for jet fuel temperatures, ignoring how the oxygen starved fires would be much cooler than optimum burning temperatures. i've seen nist report that from what they kept of the towers, very rarely was there evidence of heat over 650-750 F damaging i beams. too cold to compromise the strength of steel significantly.

If you believe that the massive wings of an airliner traveling at that speed could have folded back and neatly slid through the hole upon impact with the stationary Pentagon wall, then you have no common sense whatsoever, were likely born yesterday, and have no comprehension of basic Newtonian physics.
What kind of force would it take to cause the two massive jet engines, in the instant when the plane impacts the wall, to make two 90 degree changes of direction [traveling forward at 500 mph, then an instantaneous 90 degree change of direction sideways toward the center, and then another instantaneous 90 degree change of direction to continue traveling straight forward through the hole]. In order to acomplish that miracle, the two jet engines would have to accelerate at miraculous rates of speed toward the center, suddenly stop traveling sideways, and then suddenly start traveling forward again. Do you have any concept of the impossibility of that occurrence?edit on 6/17/2011 by dubiousone because: Clarification.
You mad? lol
The last dude made a fool of himself by saying no other buildings were damaged, I never responded because it was so outrages then I finally shut him down. Right now you're in the outrages zone, keep going and I'll shut you down too.edit on 17-6-2011 by SkepticAndBeliever because: (no reason given)

Lmao at you "getting your ammo out & getting serious".
Funny how the other buildings took minimal damage, yet WTC7 crashed & burned?
Made a fool? The only person looking like a fool here is YOU. Damn pre-pubescent kid...I said how can WTC7 COLLAPSE like that, IN THAT FASHION, yet the others didn't? It would make more sense if WTC6 went down as much.
It's fhilarious to see you STILL posting & trolling here...We must be the stupid ones for feed the ugly troll.edit on 17-6-2011 by SmoKeyHaZe because: (no reason given)

the poles getting knocked down would be easy to do. as would distributing the pieces from the crash, all are very small. the government confiscated all the cameras that saw the event, even the nearby gas station.
"national security"? if the camera from the gas station is pointed in that direction the whole time, why not let americans see the footage?
the picture of the jet hitting the block of cement:
first off, the cement was movable to absorb energy, the pentagon walls are only 18" thick and stationary. the jet has a fraction of the kinetic energy of an airliner.

I am a full-blown "truther". I believe 9/11 is not what they would like us to believe. I've looked at the evidence and it doesn't add up to me. I even voted for Bush. Without watching this video, I can surmise much of it is Bush hating. Those of you who have watched it, tell me I'm wrong.
