actually it's not nonsense, I remember a 'destruction testing' program a few years ago before any of this happened. One of the test was a plane which was fired/launced remotely into a concrete block. Very little remained afterwards as the plane pretty much desintegrated on impact, i'd imagine a plane laden with fuel hitting a reinforced concrete building at high speed would have much the same effect

A deconstruction of the Pentagon "no plane" conspiracy.

Would like to be more optimistic, but I do agree with the basic analysis that the extremists have been winning up to now.

Just to remind you the Vietcong did not exist, it was a name which the CIA invented to make the enemy sound evil.

Their name "Viet Cong" came from the term for Vietnamese Communist (Viet Nam Cong San). American forces typically referred to "Charlie," which comes from the US Armed Forces' phonetic alphabet's pronunciation of VC ("Victor Charlie").

The point is this: we ALL fell on that day, it was the death for personal privacy and freedom. The real casualty is our future!

Plus, as mentioned in previous posts, The Pentagon is a building designed to take a hit from a nuke. The impact of a plane would be like trying to kill an elephant by flicking a peanut at its head.

The Pentagon (originally built in the 1940s) WASN'T designed to take a hit from a nuke!!!! Just like any other building, it would be vapourised by the sheer heat of a nuke exploding nearby.
It's only a fucking building!!!!!
No doubt there are nuclear bunkers deep below the Pentagon, but your apparent contention that a fully-fuelled airliner hitting the Pentagon at 400 or 500 mph would simply bounce off it is patent nonsense.

Not only that - apparently the Pentagon lawn was also plane-proof! Anti-nuclear grass?
