most of the people i've shown it to say "there's no way the government would do that".

A full size passenger plane made this hole?
Strange shaped plane in my opinion. Even the tips of the wings sliced through the concrete and steel beams underneath. Too bad the wings couldn't puncture through the Pentagon's concrete and window frames... they just folded back when they hit the building, right?
How did the wood walls, carpets, and office furniture that burned affect the 70+ floors' steel beams encased in cement below?
A neighbor of mine think the planes knocked out the power and electrocuted the steel beams to the point they melted and buckled. At least that theory was making an "open minded effort" and not just trying to defend his own beliefs.

maybe she fell on accident? she either climbed down to that point, or climbed up to it. she couldn't have survived on those floors when the plane hit.
and as for all that fire... beijing hotel fire that lasted 6 hours engulfing almost the whole building, and it didn't collapse. the flames from the twin towers were match flames compared to what some sky scrapers have survived through.
or howabout this fire? burned almost 100% of the building for 4 hours, and didn't collapse at all.
and i like how you didn't address the temperature problem. you know, temperatures HOTTER than jet fuel can burn? it's a bit of a problem.edit on 12-9-2011 by Bob Sholtz because: (no reason given)

As for the Pentagon, this image would suggest that yes indeed, the wings did in fact puncture the walls:

You can take more than a casual look at the image and clearly see the outline of the aircraft - including where the engines, which are amongst the most solid pieces on an airplane, punched through.

And Mike Walters sounds like he's trying to explain why there weren't a "cartoon"-type outline of a Boeing 757 in the side of the Pentagon. The wings may well have folded back, but it would have to be the parts of the wing outboard of the engines.

I've made it quite clear that the jet fuel only acted as an accellerant to the office fire.

The fires burned around an hour in one tower, and less in the second tower, not nearly enough to gain high enough temperature to melt the steel, and create the river of melted iron,
Likewise, the smoke was black, which means temperature again where no where near the required to melt steel, in addition to it being near impossible for an open air fire to again reach said temperatures,
whilst i may not be an expert, my grandfather has been a firemen practically all his life, he knows quite an extensive amount of knowledge on fires
The Planes didn't have full tanks of fuel, on impact the Fire-burst consumed most of the fuel anyway, and again i shall reiterate the impossibility of jet fuel burning at such high temperatures
let us pretend it was fires that made the towers disintegrate,
in order for the towers to collapse as they did, the inner core had to have been destroyed, if fires weekend the structure, why the straight collapse? why did the debris explode outwards? why was the structure disintegrated? consumed by fire alone?
again let us pretend it was a 'Pancake Affect'
the inner core would have remained, as the way the towers were built, the floors around would have 'Pancaked' yet the inner core would have remained,
