something like this was posted a while ago, kind of interesting. But there is another site that shows why the site you posted is wrong...
This is from the other post:

Especially seeing as that particular part of the building was just recently renovated before the crash. That is why it was empty (thus the low number of deaths). It was renovated unlike what we think of as "renovation". That section of the Pentagon was "terror proofed". They had just finished building what was decribed as "a portion of a building that could withstand a direct missile hit". That is why the plane disintegrated and the wings did no damage at all - those wings hitting that particular portion of the building would be like one of those balsa-wood model planes hitting a gyp rock wall. The sand was being spread over the lawn because of spilled rocket fuel - duh!
944S Boyeee


Ok - here are the answers to the questions asked on that webpage.....

Question: "Can you explain how a Boeing 757-200, weighing nearly 100 tons and travelling at a minimum speed of 250 miles an hour only damaged the outside of the Pentagon?"
Answer: It didn't only damage the outside. Structural damage extended at least 150 feet inside, well into the third ("C") ring of the building.


Question: "Can you explain how a Boeing 14.9 yards high, 51.7 yards long, with a wingspan of 41.6 yards and a cockpit 3.8 yards high, could crash into just the ground floor of this building?"
Answer: It didn't just crash into the ground floor. According to official statements and news reports, it took out both the first and second floors on impact.


Question: "Can you find debris of a Boeing 757-200 in this photograph?"
Answer: No, but we can in one taken by an Associated Press photographer. Bear in mind, eyewitnesses say the Boeing 757 virtually disintegrated when it struck the reinforced wall of the building. Given that, and the tremendous forward momentum of the aircraft on impact, the assumption that a significant amount of debris ought to be visible in front of the Pentagon wouldn't seem justified.

And more to the point, what happened to that plane and all the people on it if it didn't crash into the Pentagon.

Alien abduction. yeah; that's it!
"the govenment" crashed the others just as a distraction.

Seriously, I thought the French had better schools than reflected in that writers web page.
Basic chemistry; Aluminum is very reative, and burns easly. At first glance aluminum may seem to resist burning well. But that is more the layer of aluminum oxide, coupled with aluminums ability to wick away heat quickly.
Aluminum is so reative to oxygen that exposure to air immediatley forms a layer of alum-oxide; which seals the aluminum (passivate - word of the day) from futher "burning" . . .unless the temps are so high the reaction continues.

Too bad aluminum can't take the heat; SSI's would be a lot lighter.

This, like the assertion that four thousand Israeli WTC workers didn't show up for work Sep 11, is complete bull****.
