Do the physics. The energy of that mass at that velocity going into a heavily reinforced structure like the Pentagon will completely disintegrate quite compactly.

While doing the physics, explain how the thin skinned nose structure was able to penetrate the reinforced structure, yet the 2, 6 ton engines with titanium parts didn't even leave a mark..
And again, applying physics, inertia, etc., with respect to speed, the wings could in no way just fold back and follow the fusleage through a 16' hole..
as has been claimed by some..
And as far as the plane just burning up... again.. 2, 6 ton engines with titanium parts won't burn beyond existence from a jet fuel explosion.. and.. the fuel on a 757 is stored near the fuselage at the root of the wings... The fire/explosion couldn't have reached the ends of the wings to make them vanish..
