9/11: A Boeing 757 Struck the Pentagon, page 6

Originally posted by zerocool excuse me but what planet are you on... actually what dimension are you in... there is no way that a plane that size caused that damage, a plane at that speed would not just crash through a wall but go through the bloody building...

No, it wouldn't. It hit (as stated in the first post in this thread, and from public records as to the recent upgrades to the Pentagon, including the section that was hit on 9-11) ... a reinforced concrete wall, which was recently upgraded with reinforced steel strappings, bolted floor to ceiling, floor to ceiling kevlar shielding designed to stop bomb fragments and fragments of the wall from a bomb explosion, 2 inch thick bulletproof and bomb resistant windows with armored framing, and before it hit this it hit a very heavy desil generator in front of the wall, and a steel steam vent pipe (each engine hit an object before the plane hit the wall - the starboard engine hit a very substantial object). Read these sources before asking any more questions about the structure of the Pentagon or recent upgraded (just prior to 9-11-2001). They are provided to you in the original post - you shouldn't have to ask questions about them here. Thare are very informative fact-filled links to multiple websites including Architecture Week, Renovation.Pentagon.Mil, enr.construction.com and others. All of this is outlined in the first post - including MOST IMPORTANTLY, at least 20 links to sources outside of the original post (otherwise the post would have been 200 pages long), please go back and re-read the first post paying special attention to the Pentagon section and read the Pentagon upgrade notes contained in the links I have provided. Then, for additional reading please read the Pentagon Building Performance Report on page four of this thread (I intended to include it in the original post but couldn't locate it prior to publishing - it will be included in a future edit to the primay body of post 1). The only part of the paper that appears slightly incorrect is the assessment in their brief mention of the surveillance photo (frame 1) where they have the 757 noted in the wrong position of the film. Note: maroon text in a messge body on ths forum are LINKS to other webpages, content, etc.

HOW THE F**K CAN A PLANE GET THAT BLOODY CLOSE TO THE MOST SECURED AND GUARDED BUILDING IN THE WORLD!

THIS is a great question. THIS is a superb question. THIS is the sort of question you should be asking the government, and anyone who will listen. How did the 757 get that close to the Pentagon? Who was in charge of defending the USA on 911. Who is to blame for not sending an F16 or two up to see where the heck those planes went when they turned their transponders off. Wasting time and energy asking where the 757 is (when I've shown it to everyone, and shown why it was so damaged, and shown how it caused the damage it did, and shown why it didn't do more damage, and shown that it was a 757, and shown that it wasn't a bomb, or a Global Hawk, or a Missile) is just silly. The last question you posed is the best question in this entire thread. I am 100% serious.
