I used to be skeptical of the official story that a plane hit the Pentagon until I saw the damage left in a truck from the right engine and some sort of cement garden thing by the left engine. They both left semi-circular damage just like it would look if an engine went through them. I don't see how that could be faked.
Frank Probst, an information management specialist for the Pentagon Renovation Program, left his office trailer near the Pentagon's south parking lot at 9:36 a.m. Sept. 11. Walking north beside Route 27, the 6'2" Vietnam Veteran looked up, directly into the right engine of a 757 commercial airliner cresting the hilltop Navy Annex. It reached him so fast and flew so low that Probst dropped to the ground, fearing he'd lose his head to its right engine. "Had I not hit the deck, the plane would have taken off my head."Source
About 9:40, Alan Wallace had finished fixing the foam metering valve on the back of his fire truck parked in the Pentagon fire station and walked to the front of the station. He looked up and saw a jetliner coming straight at him. It was about 25 feet off the ground, no landing wheels visible, a few hundred yards away and closing fast.
"Runnnnn!" he yelled to a pal. There was no time to look back, barely time to scramble. He made it about 30 feet, heard a terrible roar, felt the heat, and dove underneath a van, skinning his stomach as he slid along the blacktop, sailing under it as though he were riding a luge. The van protected him against burning metal that was flying around.
A few seconds later he was sliding back out to check on his friend and then race back to the firetruck. He jumped in, threw it into gear, but the accelerator was dead. The entire back of the truck was destroyed, the cab on fire. He grabbed the radio headset and called the main station at Fort Myer to report the unimaginable.
Please read Alan Wallace's account: /p6gmm
Other firefighters saw the plane's impact:
Engine 101 actually saw the jetliner plow into the northwest side of the Pentagon. The radio crackled, “Engine 101—emergency traffic, a plane has gone down into the Pentagon. I made a quick U-turn and was on scene within a minute to a minute and a half of the initial impact

and the flames kept burning which they had a tough time putting out, and it reignited the next day after all that spraying. I'd say that's pretty abnormal for a airplane crash considering the 24 hour attention it had from the firefighters.

Ah thedman, you make it so easy. Maybe read what you post next time before you hit reply?

So your brave witness was hopped in the firetruck and it was on fire and it wouldn't move?
You then include the photo of said firetruck outside?
How did it get from parked inside the fire station to outside the Pentagon on fire if it couldn't move as your "witness" says??

Why wasn't there engines and wing parts all over the lawn?
They showed pics of a rotor hub, where are the other 24 hubs? Where are the rotor shafts, the shatterproof engine casings?
Not only that, if the nose of the aircraft could punch through then the engines should have also.
I mean this is supposed to be one engine from the plane that hit WTC and crashed to the ground...
What was so different at the pentacon? That engine supposedly went through the WTC steel facade, twice.
The engines at the pentacon only hit one concrete wall. At least one of those claims must be wrong.
The contradictions abound...
I would assume that they got turned into very small pieces of debris upon impact, along with the rest of the plane. There were many parts of the plane found in the debris, as can be seen in that thread I just linked. And look at the damage sustained by this generator caused by the right engine: How could that possibly have been faked?
