By the way, numb-nuts, the windows of the Pentagon are blast proof, they did what they were designed to do.

The wings would not shear off...the wings are the most structurally sound attachment to the fuselage next to the tail section. If that was the case, then the wings of the two planes that hit the twin towers would have fluttered to the ground never to enter into the buildings.

The wings would have damaged the exterior of the pentagon. The leading edge of a wing is extremely tough.....usually made of titanium and aluminum alloy that can withstand strikes of birds, hail and other debris.

The wings could not and would not be dragged through the small hole made by the impact of whatever it was that hit the pentagon. And blast proof windows are not made to accept a direct hit by a wing from a jetliner.

Nice try.

I guess that's why there is a hole where the jetliner itself hit. You are farting against the wind, these stories have been debunked, and not by your friends, the government.

Thus spake Radioactive... sans any documentation, still ignoring the FACT that pieces of the wings WERE FOUND, where he says (again without evidence aside from the unsubstantiated say-so of conspiracists) no wings were found.

The wings would have damaged the exterior of the pentagon. The leading edge of a wing is extremely tough.....usually made of titanium and aluminum alloy that can withstand strikes of birds, hail and other debris.

And so they did damage the exterior of the Pentagon. Uh, Radio, (you don't mind me calling you Radio, do you Radio?) tell us all how "birds, hail and other debris" equate with six foot thick, steel re-inforced concrete walls recently re-inforced to withstand a near nuclear blast??? Let's see... two pound duck... 500 million ton building... right. Sure.

And blast proof windows are not made to accept a direct hit by a wing from a jetliner.

And the windows and walls that did receive the direct impact didn't. Take a look at this picture taken of the pentagon of the impact point (the large hole where the most fire can be seen is where the fuselage impacted the building). Note that this picture was taken after the fire-retardant foam had evaporated... most conspiracy sites use pictures where the foam is still piled up above the first story level and do not show the first floor wing impact damage:

The object behind the police car at the far right is a large construction generator that was smashed by impacting the right wing engine and moved about a dozen feet closer to the building. The opening in the building including the missing walls between pillars (along with their blast proof windows) is approximately 80 feet. Note also the direction the two pillars closest to the hole made by the fuselage are deformed TOWARD the hole. Incidentally, those large reels of cable were originally stored in the fenced area with the generator and were apparently dragged by the plane to the building.

Here is a closer view of the damage to the fence... note the fence is entirely gone behind the bent over fence posts in the front. Here is another view of the generator damage:

Now, let's talk about the damage to the Freeway, 300 yards away. Here is a picture taken by a motorist who barely escaped being hit by one of the knocked over light stanchions. Note the Lincoln Taxi behind the white car.

Or how about this Taxi Cab that WAS hit by a light pole?

Or this one from a different view?

The light poles that were knocked over or sheared off demonstrate a pathway of destruction approximately 125 feet wide... the wing span of the 757 is 124' 9". Do you know of a missile with such a wingspan? How about a fighter jet? I thought not in both cases.
