I doubt it was a plane that hit the Pentagon. The lack of wing span damage alone proves otherwise.
The Interior Columns Damage and Debris
The pattern of interior supporting column damage47 indicates the forward motion (from building exterior to the interior) of material traveling at high speed. Some columns were missing, bent, or otherwise damaged.
Many columns showed shredded or wrecked pieces of metal wrapped48 around them or stacked beside them. In one photograph49 of the interior, there is a massive amount of debris below an intact ceiling. This debris could not have occurred due to a cave-in of the floor above. Both these photographic observations of the interior point to plane impact rather than bombs. It took at least two days to remove most of the debris, so if this debris had been trucked in as part of a staged event, it would likely have been noticed.
Based on a diagram50 of the column damage, Dwain Deets51 states that there is “no penetrator path” without intact columns between the impact point and exit hole. However, the author has analyzed the column damage and penetration path in Appendix D, and finds no significant impediment to debris reaching the C ring wall and punching a hole there. Major column failure ends about 160 ft in from the impact point. However, since the plane was fragmented, it could pass columns. See the F4 Phantom experiment52 where a plane propelled at high speed into a massive concrete wall was completely fragmented. See Appendix D.
The interior damage weighs against the flyover theories. The width of the damage pattern weighs against the small plane theory. The missile theory cannot explain the width of the damage to the supporting columns. The bomb theory would imply a complicated group of simultaneous explosions. A staged event is required to explain the large amount of debris mixed with plane parts.
Why are there so many 9/11 conspiracy debunkers?

Why are there so many 9/11 conspiracy debunkers? It's really amazing. As soon anything is posted there's always a response saying it's faked data or faked photoshopped image. It's just weird. And then there are whole sites devoted to 9/11 debunking. You have to admit having a conspiracy theory is one thing. But being passionate about other peoples passion is just weird. I barely have enough motivation to go to work let alone spend hours and hours debunking other people's conspiracy theories. If you feel strongly enough about debunking 9/11 you would think people would just not click on the thread and read anything at all.
And don't forget search engines. The amount of SEO work that must go into this to make sure debunking sites always come up first is astounding. Honestly, you would think 9/11 debunking would just never exist.
What is the motivation behind this? "Gee, I would really hate it if that conspiracy turned out to be true." What is the worst that could happen. What motivates people to say anything at all?
I think a controlled demolition of some sort went down, how else would the buildings collapse at near free fall speed into their own footprint? even if trusses were taken out, we would expect to see resistance on the lower floors at least.
I read a post, my BS detector goes off and I respond. Isn't the ATS motto deny ignorance? In your opinion is BS best left unchecked?
What motivates people to say anything at all?
Whats your point? Because you feel this way, everyone else must as well?

Doubtful.
Doesn't matter if it were, it gets brought up time and time again by a 911 "truther".

Dredging?
It popped up on ATS yesterday.
It wasn't me who was dredging, it was a truther.

A: Because for anything other than the official narrative to be true would shatter their world views and cause them to have a nervous breakdown.
B: Because they are paid shills.
C: Because they really are stupid.
Take your pick.

You forgot "D. Because they cannot abide the complete stupidity of many of the conspiracy theorists."
