from someone who is unfamiliar with what can happen to an airliner that is traveling that fast when it hits an object like the Pentagon.

They equate it with other aircraft mishaps where obvious pieces of aircraft are strewn around or recognizable parts are present.

Images have been posted here before of crash scenes where there were no "recognizable" debris - by "recognizable" I mean no "there's the tail section!" or "that is a wing!" type wreckage. I'm not certain, but perhaps the troofers would claim no aircraft crashed at those accident sites, either.

The problem is, however, all crash scenes are not like that. Flight 77 impacting the side of the Pentagon at 450 knots will not leave many, if any, recognizable pieces. The engine pieces, the landing gear mainmount, assorted piece-parts of the aircraft - if anyone thinks that a 450 knot impact into a structure like the Pentagon will result in the tail or a wing just bouncing off and sitting pretty next to the facade is on drugs.

Anyone who has any experience being around aircraft or mishap sites would know that. The No Planers over at "911 Pilots for Twoof" really befuddle the mind with their claims and ignorance of crash dynamics in this case.

Edited for typo and to keep Jeff off my case
