[speculation]
Imagine the 9-11 attacks did NOT work as planned and were actually aborted mid term, leaving them with
2 planes in the air full of dead people
in the middle of nowhere and an urgent need to bring their treason to a conclusion asap. the first 'surplus' plane hit tower#2 - probably a useless
target (which btw, is a good reason for the goofy final approach, btw, and its 2 course adjustments en route) the second was not in range to hit an
urgent target located inside the pentagon - ONI HQ, a relatively unknown yet (before the attacks at at least) very powerful secret service of the
navy, and an old one to boot.
Feeling the urgent need to kill ONI, lacking time in a hard way, while having the appropriate drone plane on the other side of the map, so to speak,
they opted for plan B, sink the 757 in one of the great lakes and shoot something into the pentagon, and try your best to make it look like a 757 so
it can be officially accounted for, while having a blackops team kill ONI and set everything ablaze. when everything's done, keep firefighters away
for a longish time, then blow a few columns for distraction purposes...and so on, details can be easitly construed to fit in: f-ex.: According to this
scenario the 'exit hole' is either tge result of a dumb frontline commander being overzealous, lack of physical knowledge and a childish personality
on the planners' part in conjunction with a botched approach (should then be a 90deg impact..) among other things, OR was simply created to give
conspiracy nuts like us something to chew on.
[/speculation]
Conversely, there's still a minor chance that ONI was a strawman and alledgedly targetted as a diversion, in that case they would have blown their
own stuff and gotten new identities. you be the judge.
