How many times have I specifically asked you how the crew and passengers of flight 77 ended up dead at the pentagon. What remains were released to families for burial.
You first......,

Ah yes, the "if there's not a picture of it, it didn't happen" argument. We SEE 4-5 in one picture. There are more than just those columns in the building, you know. We didn't see pictures of every single thing that day.
The BPS team concluded that the impact of the aircraft destroyed or significantly impaired approximately 50 structural columns. The ensuing fire weakened a number of other structural elements. However, only a very small segment of the affected structure collapsed, approximately 20 minutes after impact

Soooo?
Whe have gone from your claim flight 77 should have not made it to the pentagon because the pentagon had a missile system.
Then you claimed flight 77 should have crashed on the ground because the engines hang down eight feet below the fuselage from a jet whose fuselage can sit as close as 7 feet 9 inches above the runway.
Then to a jet that you claim should have broken apart and fell stri to the ground. Now you are angry that a jet you claim should be in the process of breaking apart only broke eight columns.
You are literally losing ground.
Do you have a coherent and rational message.

Again, you are angry a jet you think should be in the process of breaking up before hitting the pentagon only broke eight columns? WTF?

And there were a lot of columns that we didn't see.

You don't understand those numbers obviously.
From the ground to the top of the fuselage is 21 feet 7 inches. That's with the wheels down. So a parked 757 is 21 feet 7 inches at the top of the fuselage.
The engines are not 8 feet 10 inches below the wing. That's been said about a dozen times. The maximum diameter of the engine is 8 feet 1 inch.

That pretty much matches up to what I quoted, that something like 50 were destroyed or damaged. If there were only four that suffered significant damage, then the wall wouldn't have collapsed like that.

The closest the fuselage can sit to the runway by spec is 7 feet 9 inches. The engines sit at least two feet above the run way for a fudge fact during a hard landing so the engine doesn't slam into the runway if the suspension is compressed fully in.
