Are you familiar with handling characteristics of large airliners?
You don't just 'dive into a target' like those dive bombers do in the movies.
For a large airliner to hit the Pentagon you need to have an approach similar to a landing. According to the official story (as shown in computer animation on National Geography) the plane went 'straight in,' nose first into the wall. Meaning they did skim the ground. Otherwise the plane would have hit the Pentagon with its underside, nose pointing up. The Pentagon may be large but it's not that high in relation to a big airliner. So it's amazing they still hit the wall, instead of 'touching down' on the part with the biggest 'hit-chance:' the roof.
And why did CNN Pentagon-reporter Jamie McIntyre say he could not find any piece of wreckage that indicated a large airliner had crashed? Why didn't McIntyre see any parts of the wings or tail?
