No, you have to take into account what its made of. If this aluminum airframe was torn up by simply hitting a few small trees what do you think will happen when a fragile aluminum airframe hits a reinforced concrete wall. i114.photobucket.com...

I am convinced to the point that we need to put out another investigation, one that should force them to answer questions... if that plane was too high, then what hit the pentagon? But first, let's try to get the answers to the questions on the website of www.pilotsfor911truth.org [edit on 17-1-2007 by BigMoser]
Originally posted by TruthSeekerMP There is so much debackle as to what happened with the Pentagon. I was very very impressed with this video - as seen in another post on this forum - regarding the NTSB's findings of the official flight data recorder of AA77. Three key issues of this video: 1.) Path stated by 9|11 Commission completely different than that of the Flight Data Recorder. 2.) Barometric Pressure settings adjusted for REAL TIME show that the actual heigh of the plane upon "descent into the Pentagon" is completely false. 3.) The telephone poles said to have been hit by wings of the plane is FALSE in reference to the OFFICIAL flight data recorder. Take a look for yourself at the video located at the link below. video.google.com... No more is this a question of a "streak on the Pentagon's lawn" from the plane, or the "hole being too small". The evidence is there, it is factual from the data recorder, and it cannot be ignored.
Apparently most folks in the truth movement think it would leave large parts laying around outside the pentagon. So is it too fragile to penetrate the wall or is it going to leave big chunks sitting on the lawn? I get it, they can go through steel beams like at the WTC yet somehow trees are invincible. IMO it has a lot to do with how impact occured, Head on versus basically what looks like a sideswipe. [edit on 18/1/07 by Skibum]

So your saying the plane was sturdy enough to penatrate all the rings of the Pentagon but then just disinagrated afterwards. Please show me pics of this so called sideswipe.

Yes thats exactly what I'm saying. Of course not, This isn't an all or nothing situation. The plane was damaged severely when it hit the exterior wall. Then damaged further as it hit the other rows of columns and interior walls.

Problem is a fragile aluminum airframe should have not been able to get through the first reinforced wall, (specially after hitting poles and a generator that would have damaged it before it hit the building) it would have been more then severely damaged no matter how much speed and mass the plane had and left far more debris outside the building and the debris from the wings, engines should be outside and also the tail should be outside.

Thanks for the link to the video! Why aren't more people interested in this? Has the the flight data recorder been "debunked" by anybody? If this information from the flight data recorder is accurate, then it proves that AA77 did not crash into the Pentagon, and/or that the government is proactively involved in some sort of cover-up.

Actually the nose of the plane is not aluminum but very fragile composite. It would have been destroyed upon hitting the wall and the wings are very thin and fragile and should have been sheared off upon hitting the wall. Also it is 40 feet between center of both engines. 1 engine was found outside the 1 that might have hit the generator.
Originally posted by Caustic Logic To Ultima: Yes, aluminum is much weaker, but even an aluminum plane with great mass should cause extensive damage. The nosecone shape is like a missile – it deflects energy back along its length and is well-designed to pierce air or anything else better than something not so shaped. But… the one big Q for me is – how this wonderful penetrating shape held up even as key parts of the fuselage – the forward sections where the big red letters were painted – were blown off/scraped off either just inside the opening or even outside the building. A persistent puzzler…

Originally posted by Caustic Logic Ultima: 2) NO engines were found, just like as many have rightly pointed out no 757 as found. An engine, like a plane, is an integrated and functioning composite of hundreds of parts. What's been found is parts. The FEMA gear was I think found inside and brought out. Maybe I'm wrong. 3) Wings certainly would not enter, except at the sturdy bases. But neither would they "shear off" and just fall on the ground in one piece. They were weak FUEL TANKS and would probably explode into very small pieces, which is why there've been no recognizable wing parts. They may have been reduced to something almost like Xmas tree tinsel.
Not sure what engine it is, i have not been able to match it to anything like an RB211 or JT8D. We have no incident reports with part and engine numbers. As for the wings the plane hitting that wall was not at high speed, he was trying to stop but i just wanted to prove the point that wings are fragile and will usually shear off when hitting something. Also thier are reports of a planes wing shearing off from hitting 1 light pole, the plane at the Pentagon was supossed to hit 5 light poles and at high spped, even if the light poles were break-away they would still damage the wings at high speed.
