Airplanes are hollow. The wings are hollow, the fuselage is hollow. All the aluminum components that are riveted together have holes punched out of them to reduce weight. They are made with as little material as possible without sacrificing structural integrity. WHen one impacts the ground, the parts disintegrate easily because they are already full of holes.

Wrong.
As each subsequent level was destroyed/broken loose from the columns/ etc, it PE would be converted into KE. How much KE would of course depend on how much V it achieved by the next level.

I'm not 100% sure on this, but the official story says that the Pentagon plane penetrated through three outer rings of the building, traveling 310 feet in less than one second. I agree with you, planes are hollow and made of aluminum, but despite the speed at which the aircraft was going wouldn't an airplane pretty much flatten like an aluminum can before making it completely through the first ring? Is aluminum capable of doing this? Btw, I'm not saying this with any hostility, just trying to understand what you're saying.

It has to do with the kinetic energy of the object. The plane, while made of light material, was traveling at speeds somewhere around 500mp/h. I think the formula for energy is .5m*v^2. This means that energy will increase exponentially as the velocity increases, and the planes had enough mass to make the energy very large to begin with. In order to simply crush against the wall, the plane would have to be traveling slow enough as to impart less energy than the wall can absorb. In this case, the plane hit hard enough that it busted through the wall and denser parts traveled hundreds of feet further.

Ohhh, is the nose of a plane dense? Or is it a thin shell?
To me, it seems illogical to fly a missile into the Pentagon and attempt to pass it off as a passenger plane.
Haaaaaaa, what you typed sounds good but, Goverment controlled employess???
Ill ask this question on my death bed. With over a dozens HD camers watching the Pentegon, why is the only Footage ever released from the goverment is Of a .0000001 second blip then a massive explosion????
Let everyone know how this person is a controlled aspect, with no real outlook.........
He claims the Pentagon doesnt have cameras or Missle platforms?
So In Conclusion the most Important building ever made by The USA, is also the weakest.
As its been stated before, 4 men in caves took control of the Air with box cutters and rendered the best the world elite can offer USELESS. for the once AND ONLY TIME EVER, AND TO NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN!

Its easy its because ITS A FU..... MISSLE!edit on 9-4-2012 by Genxbeyond because: (no reason given)
