I have no idea what happened to "those people", but the case that AA77 struck the pentagon is weak to non-existent.
What happened to those people has no bearing on what was observed at the pentagon, and what information has come out since regarding flight data and more.

And so, it means Hani The Magnificent had to be flying as close to the ground as if he were taxiing, in ground effect, at Vmo +90 and that's ridiculous.
Yeah that's nuts.
Fly like that and you're gonna crash.
Oh, wait.....
A handful of guys who fly that airplane for a living are on record as saying they would have a difficult time flying the maneuver Hani is alleged to have flown.
?
And again, the Sharpshooter Fallacy. First, you need to prove that THAT EXACT SPOT is what he was trying to hit. I suspect that you can't. No I know you can't.
I agree that most would find it hard to replicate Hanis exact flight path. Especially the last few seconds. But that's irrelevant.
The real question that you nutjobs never consider is that his target was a 24 acre building that he just needed to hit anywhere.
No, not really did he need to hit it just anywhere. In fact, if he had been just 20 feet higher, the upper half of the fuselage would have ended up somewhere way beyond the building. If he had been just 50 feet higher out by the road and antennae, at that speed he would have missed the building in the bowl completely.
His target might have been a 24 acre building, but for the story to be true, his target was less than 70 feet above the ground. 24 acres looks really big looking straight down, but he was hitting a very small part of a very very low profile building. We know James Bond can fly a BD-5 through a barn, but that was a BD-5 microjet with Bond at the controls, not a 757 90 knots over Vmo with a really lousy pilot at the controls.
The pentagon was rebuilt to handle missile blasts that was the renovation.

The Pentagon debris. prnt.sc... White strip is too small, bad paint job or spray job. Where is the blue strip, it's missing. Not sure if it's just the sun but the blue above the red strip is too light?

Looks about right for part of one of the letters in 'American' though.

the debris at the Pentagon has just a horizontal white and red strip

Those are letters, the debris at the Pentagon has just a horizontal white and red strip. To match there should be a dark blue strip just above the white strip. The size of the strip looks wrong also.

I have to agree it's a red letter with a white boarder on the way the red and white curve away from the blue stripe.

Except for the really minor problem that a Global Hawk would have done even less damage to the Pentagon than was done. It would have hit at a far lower speed, it's far lighter, probably would have had even more trouble than you claim Flight 77 did making that "ace maneuver"(your claim), and it wouldn't have been painted white if they were trying to fool people into thinking it was an American Airlines plane.
