LOL so the soft nose is stronger than a titanium alloy engine? Get real dude...
I didn't say they were indistructable.
You have obviously not looked at the pics before the building collapsed. Now go away, do some research, get caught up with the rest of us then
come back and try again...
In this
article it claims one of the engines punched a 12 foot hole in the second ring. Again,
I am no physics expert, but the physics experts at Purdue seem to think that the wings snapped inward and followed the fusalage into the initial hole,
there by following the path of least resistance. After impact the plane ceased being a "plane" and became a "landslide" of aluminum, steel, and
jet fuel. The pentagon is complete different than the WTC, it's walls are concrete, so an aircraft isn't going to slice through it like they did
the WTC, but still that kinetic energy has to go somewhere. The pictures in the initial post shows what is left of one destroyed engine, inside the
Pentagon. The initial hole is 20 feet wide, but the fusalage is only 13 feet wide. A fighters fusalage is only ~4-5 ft wide and it's wings are of
lower mass, they would almost certainly snap off, making a much smaller hole, probably about 1/2 the size. A missile or bomb would also make a much
smaller hole in the outside of the building. The video shows something cleary larger than a missile or bomb, approaching the pentagon at an altitude
and attitude that is not the attack profile for a missile or bomb, but at a speed clearly too fast to be any ground based vehicle. Many eyewitnesses
have said they saw an American Airlines commericial aircraft extremely low heading towards the pentagon. Light poles were knocked flat on the approach
to the pentagon, the generator outside was clipped and knocked off it's axis toward the pentagon. A fighter would have crashed as soon as it hit a
light pole, a missile would also likely crash or detonated the first light pole it hit, at the very least, they would have been knocked off target.
None of these would have moved that generator without detonated at the generator. It would have required something with considerable mass to move
that generator and continue on past it. Some "eyewitnesses" report hearing something that "sounded" like a missile, but most of the these people
wouldn't know what a missile sounded like. Not to mention that there isn't a missile in the arsenal that would cause that much damage to a building
like the pentagon after hitting it from the side. NOBODY reports seeing anything even remotely resembling a global hawk and it is pretty
unmistakable, you would definately know it if you saw one. So if a commercial aircraft didn't hit the pentagon, what did?
If this is a conspiracy, why the pentagon? Why not just the WTC and call it a day? Why the elaborate scheme to make it look like an AA aircraft hit
the pentagon only to have something else hit it? Why switch your MO in mid conspiracy (planes for WTC, but something different for the pentagon). I
swear you guys give our government way too much credit. No way they pull this off and keep a lid on it, the amount of loose ends is just staggering
for a government conspiracy.
I guess you will believe what you want to believe, since there are not photos of every bolt of the aircraft available to you, you equate that to
government conspiracy and coverup. Fine, I don't follow that, but fine.
Radical Islam is the fascism of the modern world. You want boogey men, there you have them.
