The ENTIRE airframe is made of aluminum. The struts, the bulkheads, everything. And how many of those other crashes had ended with the plane hitting a steel-reinforced concrete wall? I will tell you: none. There is a HUGE difference between a plane hitting the ground at shallow angle at takeoff or landing speeds and one hitting a concrete wall at cruising speed. besides, there was plenty of debris recovered from the Pentagon site.

No shit. I said this. Read my post again.

It makes perfect sense. Even though the bits of aircraft are all shredded up at impact, they still carry a significant amount of kinetic energy. Just like a soft lead bullet can penetrate a much harder target due to inertia and forward momentum, alumimum aircraft parts can still punch holes in concrete. And if not round, what shape WOULD you expect the hole to be?

I didn't say no one said anything, I said I've seen no credible evidence presented. Don't put words in my mouth.

Not really. I trust the NTSB investigators far more than I trust the opinion of the average Joe on the street. Opinions are like assholes: everyone has one and they all stink. I'll take facts over opinion any day.
