a projectile without explosives is used, just a collision is sufficient to destroy the target. See Missile Defense Agency for the following systems being developed: A projectile is any object sent through space by the application of a force
Finding the flight data recorder had been the focus of investigators as they widened their search area today following the discoveries of more debris, including what appeared to be human remains, miles from the point of impact at a reclaimed coal mine. Residents and workers at businesses outside Shanksville, Somerset County, reported discovering clothing, books, papers and what appeared to be human remains. Some residents said they collected bags-full of items to be turned over to investigators. Others reported what appeared to be crash debris floating in Indian Lake, nearly six miles from the immediate crash scene. John Fleegle, an Indian Lake Marina employee, said FBI agents were skeptical of his reports about debris in the lake until they traveled to the lake shore Wednesday afternoon. By Wednesday morning, crash debris began washing ashore at the marina. Fleegle said there was something that looked like a rib bone amid pieces of seats, small chunks of melted plastic and checks. He said FBI agents who spent the afternoon patrolling the lake in rented boats eventually carted away a large garbage bag full of debris. "

Using missiles without explosives to cause a crash or destroy a target. Why do that?
* No overhead explosion for on the ground personnel to hear.
* Using this method reduces catastrophic failure of the aircraft in mid air, while still causing catastrophic failure leading to a crash.
* Use of "sterile" missile allows for no identifiable parts and melds in with other debris.

So, how do you respond to the fact that even a missile without an explosive warhead is still going to cause pieces of the airplane to end up all over?
If I'm supposed to believe that the nose cone did that then I simply do not. The columns in many photos and descriptions do not support this theory. In addition, the path of egress into the building as shown on the map below if it is right would have pushed literally, tons of debris as the projectile or whatever it was made it's way inside the building at the angle provided in the OS. In addition, if, as some have claimed, the energy did this then I find that impossible due to the fact that there was no structural aspects having enough strength to direct all of the energy into a direct point to cause that. Maybe to the layperson that sounds plausible. To me, it sounds like fantasy.

What I refer to is the use of unarmed missiles being used to cause catastrophic flight failure (crash) of an aircraft...nothing more nothing less. I do believe that is very clear in the thread.

Not any missile can be used. Not any platform can be used. You have no evidence and no plausible scenario.
