The ATS 9/11 newbies are out on this thread I see, I am not going to spend a lot of time rebutting, done it a million times.
I will just relate one comment from a pilot, "coming in at that speed flying just above the ground, like a missile is an incredibly difficult feat, top gun pilots would be challenged nevermind a novice, especially with a full-sized airliner.
Crashing isn't the problem, getting levelled out holding that incredible speed and not bounce crashing, and hitting dead on at max speed is."
So basically making a huge plane behave like a cruise missile, with novice pilot skills.

ONSPIRACY NATION: MYTHS, MADNESS, AND THE “TRUTH” ABOUT 9/11
however they were not setting out to perform single-engine missed approaches or Category-3 instrument landings with a failed hydraulic system – or to land at all. They were setting out to steer an already airborne jetliner, in perfect weather, into the side of a building. Though, for good measure, Mohammed Atta and at least one other member of his group did buy several hours of simulator training on a Boeing 727 (this was not the same type of jet used in the attacks, but it didn’t need to be). Additionally they obtained manuals and instructional videos for the 757 and 767, available from aviation supply shops.
Hani Hanjour’s flying was exceptional only in its recklessness. If anything, his loops and spirals above the nation’s capital revealed him to be exactly the $hitty pilot he by all accounts was. To hit the Pentagon squarely he needed only a bit of luck, and he got it. Striking a stationary object — even a large one with five beckoning sides — at high speed and from a steep angle is very difficult. To make the job easier, he came in obliquely, tearing down light poles as he roared across the Pentagon’s lawn. If he’d flown the same profile ten times, seven of them he’d probably have tumbled short of the target or overflown it entirely.
As for those partisan pilots known to chime in on websites, take them with a grain of salt. As somebody who flies 757 and 767s for a living, I think my testimony carries some weight. Ask around and you’ll discover that the majority of professional pilots feel the way I do.

Judicial Watch Interest Group Reacts To 9/11 Image Release
The head of a public interest group that forced the release of Nine-Eleven video images says "it's distressing to see a plane full of people hit" the Pentagon.

Washington, DC -- The head of a public interest group that forced the release of Nine-Eleven video images says "it's distressing to see a plane full of people hit" the Pentagon. But Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton says he hopes the video ends conspiracy theories that it wasn't actually American Airlines Flight 77 that hit the building. He says dispelling such rumors is a way to honor the memory of the victims. Fitton says so many people are looking for the video that his group's Web site has collapsed. Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act request to release the images taken by a Pentagon security camera. The images had been leaked and circulated before, but this is the first official release.
Again, 20 years have passed, we aren’t even in Afghanistan, why not release the footage?

Judicial Watch v. Federal Bureau of Investigation (No.06-1135)
Judicial Watch forced the Department of Defense to release video footage of American Airlines flight 77 crashing into the Pentagon on 9/11. The videos had been kept secret by the DoD until Judicial Watch filed the FOIA request and, eventually, a lawsuit stating that the DoD had “no legal basis” to refuse release of the footage. On September 15, 2006, Judicial Watch released videos from the CITGO gas station near the Pentagon, which was released by the FBI in response to the FOIA request.Judicial Watch is committed to completing the public record of the 9/11 attacks.

Pentagon Security Videos: Recent work on the video from two Pentagon security cameras shows that they captured images of the approaching, low-flying plane. In his paper “The 85 Pentagon Area Surveillance Cameras,” Ken Jenkins explains the images, how the date error came about, and the likely origins for the trailing white smoke. There is no evidence at this time that the government is withholding other images of the event captured by the surveillance cameras.
Ken Jenkins and David Chandler also recently took pairs of sequential images from the Pentagon surveillance video cameras, putting them together as you would see them in what is called a blink comparator. In this way, the image of the plane “pops out.” If you watch the image cycle a few times, the details of the plane are clearly visible. You can find the blink comparisons on David Chandler’s website, 911SpeakOut.org.

Once it hit the pole it would already crashed and burned onto the ground impossible for the airliner to be flying undamaged after hitting something.

Exactly how would breakaway poles knock a 200,000 lbs jet flying around 500 mph when they are made to damage a car

You'd need pretty good flying skills to fly a big heavy airliner into a building at ground level, especially to manouver around all the objects and obstacles in your way. Way more than a couple of months on a simulator

Ah yes and of course you posted from debunking 9/11 CTS.
Next time just bring a article from CNN, FOX news while your at it.
With MSM showing CGI rendered nonsense of the pentagon attack.

Exactly and no amount of Microsoft/plane game simulators would help you on that.

I suppose it would be wrong of me to laugh at the video which proves the opposite of what the author wants it to.

why only a few frames??..... if its leaked, just leak the whole thing!!! a reply to: nerbot

As a pilot yourself (as i read in your reply to someone else) would you then say that this approach of this large plane at some speed and parallel to the ground at a landing altitude would've been possible for a hijacker who'd probably only trained in small single prop aircraft?

These people said they found the hijacker’s passports on the street.
If you listened past that you probably took the vaccination.
Looters Stole Cash, Credit Cards, and Jewelry from Flight MH17 Crash Victims
Locals and armed separatist raided the scene before the investigators could even get to the suitcases.
By Polly Mosendz
The crash site of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, which went down yesterday afternoon after being shot with a missile, is now being looted. This is not only causing issues for the investigation, but also for the families of the victims on board, who will now not be able to recover the lost property of the 298 dead passengers and crew.

It’s very common and expected to find personal items from a jet crash…

I can link and find the pictures, but there was jet debris in the streets around the World Trade Center before the building’s collapsed.
Now back on subject. How did the crew and passengers of flight 77 end up at the Pentagon.

This author made no inclination towards a "proof", just evidence.
Please do not put words in my mouth.
My doubts about this clip are more than evident if you actually read the thread properly.
Shooting messengers eh?..., you should know better.
