From "Popluar Mechanics", March 2005 Issue, In the case of Flight 77 hitting the Pentagon, one wing hit the ground, the other was sheared off by the force of the impact with the Pentagons's load-bearing columns. A crashing jet doesn't punch a cartoon-like outline of itself into reinforced concrete buildings. What was left of the plane flowed into the structure in a state closer to a liquid than a solid mass. "If you expect the entire wing to cut into the building, it didn't happen." The small 12 (not 16) foot hole made in the "C" ring of the Pentagon was probably made my the planes landing gear, not the fuselage. Computer simulations confirm the findings.

Believe it or not at your own risk, but if you don't, keep it to yourself, less people believe you for a fool....

From "Popluar Mechanics", March 2005 Issue,

The popular Mechanics story was full of innacuracies and errors and was put out by the cousin of Michael Chertoff, the head of the National Homeland security Department.

I don't think this story has much value except to make you think that nothing was wrong with what happend.

one wing hit the ground

Look at the photos of the pentagon after the strike.There is no damage to the grass just in front of the pentagon or anywhere near it.

How in the heck do you explain that?

Even a dirt biker knows that his tires tear up the terf...and a wing from a 757 would have made a huge scarf into the lawn several feet down.

NOthing in the photos show that is the case.
