There simply is no way a Boeing 757 is seen in that video, caused the resulting damage to the Pentagon, or left the (lack of) debris readily seen,
especially outside the structure and around the "lawn".
Empire State Building - B 25 crash 1945. Video shows FDNY members at several fires. Advance to 8 minutes
for Empire State Building

Here is another video

Impact ripped a hole 18 by 20 feet into side of building. One of the motors from the B 25 flew completely
throught the building to punch out the other side
Why may you ask why am I showing you the Empire State Building ?
Well the exterior shell of both buildings are almost identical - consisting of cut limestone from the same quarry
backed up by masonry wall (brick)
Conside the impact forces
ESB - B25 approx weight ~20,000 lbs Pentagon Boeing 757-200 Empty 127,5000. max weight 255,000
Pentagon plane weighed in at 10 times the B25
Under 200 mph 530 mph (460 knots)
Pentagon plane hit at almost 3 times the velocity, since force increases with SQUARE, impact force is almost
9 times greater
Energy expended at Pentagon is some 80 to 90 TIMES that at Empire State
Care to dispute this?
Wonder why impact hole (actually were 2) fuselage hole at 2 floor level is some 16 ft - consistant with diameter
of a 757, lower hole at ground level is some 90 feet across - about width of wings between the engine mounts
which is the strongest part of the wing
