Thanks for the overwhelmingly "conclusive evidence"! I must admit, it's pretty hard to argue with a cartoon. After a long 10 years, I can finally put my mind to rest.

I agree it makes for a compelling re-creation. In any event, I know it happened. I was in the wireless industry then and had a friend installing an antenna on the roof of a nearby apartment building in Alexandria and the plane came right over his head and scared the crap out of him.
The damage is too low for the wings to have done it, the plane would have to have been actually on the ground with the engines digging into the grass, yet there wasn't any damage to the lawn at all. Does that tell you anything?
If you have analyzed things crashing into other things, you will have noticed that the one with the speed seems to inflict more damage to the stationary object than you would otherwise expect if they were both traveling at the same speed.
Besides that, those poles are designed to break easily for safety reasons.

Kinetic energy was in the airplane's favor.

We saw the impact.. to answer the poster above..
I have typed out my description of the day 10 different times under 2 different names here on ATS. I do not have any plans to get into a pecker measuring contest over facts and theories. Believe me or don't, I dont give 2 flips, just know that all of you with these facts, are like me showing you the bible as proof of god.. complete BS!!!

I have a question about the hole you're referring to.[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/0f545ce877c6.jpg[/atsimg] [atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/f91fc219503e.png[/atsimg] How is it that after the nosecone of a 757 penetrates three layers, it just disintegrates in the open air? It was still pretty intact based on the circular hole on the third layer, so how does it make it through all of that brick/cement, and only after it makes it through does it get destroyed? Did the sunlight and fresh air cause it to vaporize? Why is there not a mostly intact 757 nosecone on the other side of that hole? Why don't we see something that looks like this?

Why, oh, why do so many Internet Aviation Engineers forget about the solid bulkhead behind the nose cone.....the bulkhead that can, and will, penetrate into solid objects......
