It was a plane that hit the Pentagon, there is video, and witnesses, and, and, and.. Only kooks will try to convince you otherwise.
The plane didn't slow to 160 MPH to land, such as by lowering its flaps, as most planes do when they reach an airport. At regular landing speeds, there is plenty of wreckage when a plane goes awry.
It this case, the terrorists accelerated the plane to an estimated 530 MPH to do maximum damage to the building. At that speed, there is a tremendous amount of kinetic energy, and objects near vaporize upon impact with anything solid. That is why there is little remaining of the plane.
Sandia Labs did a test crash with an F-4 Phantom, with water in place of fuel, hitting concrete at 480 mph. Do you know what was left of the plane? Not much.
