As for your claims of the turbine wheel being from a cruise missile, you couldn't be more wrong.
This is the turbine wheel, next to a person for perspective.
You can clearly see that it comes up to about his knee.
This is a Slam missile(the one on the bottom).
It's clearly far smaller than the turbine found at the Pentagon. Cruise missiles are designed to be small, and carried either by aircraft or ships. That turbine wheel is far too small to have come from any missile.
As for the Global Hawk claim, again, the engine is too small.
The entire engine might come up to someone's knee. You have to account for blade length, so the turbine wheel in that engine is going to be far too small. The turbine wheel at the Pentagon was either a low or high pressure turbine from inside the engine, with the blades snapped off.
Somebody getting schooled

Can i see that official statement?
You'll need to sift through the thread to find it - it was some time back but got discussed at length back then.

The picture of the engine part you went on and on about. What wheel of the numerous turbines wheels in a jet engine was it wrong for. Inlet fan, compression stage, or the expansion stage?
Compressor disk, it not evidence of the engine type haha. Did anyone measure the disk to find out? It just means the object had a turbofan jet engine most likely..

I guess any number of broken columns would seem to many if your original claim was the 757 should have exploded on the wall. So are you saying the kinetic damage at the pentagon was from something bigger than a 757?

It proves a large aircraft. You don't have to prove what kind of engine to prove that it is from a large aircraft. It's too large to be from a UAV, and far too large to be from any kind of missile. The only thing it could have come from is a large aircraft.

You were trying to prove it was from a missile. Post after post. Is that false.

When you ask any expert an open question like that they're going to say something similar. They're not going to open themselves up by saying conclusively that it could or couldn't be from something specific.
There is no way that came from a Global Hawk. I showed how large that engine is, and that spool is almost the same size as the inlet. There's no room for fan blades if it was in an engine that size.
