You're right about one thing. It ISN'T a 747. Flight 77 was an American Airlines 757, which IS a much smaller aircraft. And I wouldn't call it a "large passenger jet".

yea, I'm sorry 757 still large as hell, that is not the nose and shape of a 757, I know how they look, that plane is way too thin.
Here is your little aircraft.


Can you imagine that the camera on this pic is far away but the plane looks huge , I'm sure the distance from the plane in this pic is far enough,
now where is the camera at the pentagon placed , and what is the distance betwen it and the impact area.
Your imaginary 757 looks like a little remote control plane in size , at best a fighter jet.

Let's face it and think about it logically. Your a terrorist hell bent on taking out the pentagon right?
You've learnt to fly but not land.
You board a plane and hijack it.
Your distracted by the confusion and the tension on the plane, your worried incase the passangers try to retake it from you, Your trying to remember what your intructor taught you, Your no way a professional pilot, you only have 1 task.

To hit the Pentagon.

You fly a passnger aircraft feet from the floor INTO THE SIDE of the Pentagon.

CAN YOU DO THAT?

NO is the answer . you've taken control, you just want to crash into the building , your not professional enough to keep the plane level a few feet above the ground. You'd aim for the biggest part that you can see and try to aim for the middle of the biulding to maximise the damage.
Logically they'd flown high then point the plane nose first into the centre of the building top , Thats the logical plan. Isn't it?
The best pilot in the world couldn't keep an aircraft level feet from the floor, the ground is uneven then there's the obstructions of other buildings, roadways and pylons, but still you hit the side of the building which is the smallest area?
At least with the twin towers they had very little to no chance of hitting anything other than they're target because of their height.
IMO...
To hit a target that small you wouldn't want to waste your life on a one hit wonder.


Can you say computer control missile???

What you don't realize, Data, is the jet can be flown at 4 or 5 hundred feet above the ground, then just the final part of the 'flight' it dives down low for the impact. I drive by the Pentagon often, it has a very large parking lot. The way the jet came, it followed a highway, descended, clipped some light poles and a vehicle (actually a diesel generator) before impacting the building.

There were pieces of the airplane seen by first responders, for Chrissake! And human remains....

My main point still stands though, If your a terrorist and your flying a jet to crash it into a building , you dont fly even a few hundred feet about the ground to try and hit one wall do you?
NO you head up ,then point the jet into a nose dive to cause the maximum amount of damage to as much of the building as possible. It defeats the object of the task to risk crashing into an object before the main target , you want to leave as little room for error as you can.
It makes no sense to me to aim for a small wall compared to the size of the building?
As for wreckage and 'remains' I have yet to see any conclusive proof one way or the other.
I ain't flaming you for you opinion after all thats why we're all on here. opinions not flaming.
