This is not true. The Pentagon and other government buildings, as well as commercial places such as the local Holiday Inn, all had cameras, and perimeter cams pointed outside the establishments. Why would the FBI care to confiscate them all otherwise?

Again, many and most of these commercial establishments like gas stations were Pentagon-only employee spots.
Each had out-pointing cameras.
Each had their recordings confiscated - within fifteen minutes of the impact.

The FOIA requests for these videos didn't produce any results. The Pentagon released their five-frame parking-entrance glimpse after pressure from the public.

Nope. They were pointed inward for obvious security reasons and outward to the Pentagon for further security reasons.

Fireballs traveled down elevator shafts from the point of impact all the way to the basement. Of course there was explosions - there was a huge fire.

The fireballs that supposedly travelled down the elevator shafts have not been accredited with any damage to the ground lobby.
Regardless, even if they didn't just damage the sky-lobbies, and made it to the basement, they wouldn't have the force to compromise the basement supports.

Only after the collapse began. Before this there's no realistic consideration as to why flammable materials from inside the aircraft could have survived the impact fuel explosion.

They don't store the debris for the next forty years.

Since they did not conduct forensic investigations in the cases of the WTC buildings and crashes, they would have to keep the evidence (from a scene which was qualified by the FBI as a crime scene) for as long as it was required...
:D
