No, People at the Pentagon did.

Do you buy that aspect of their story?

You seem to be looking for another way out.

The single piece of unsinged metal in the close-ups on the lawn certainly

Why do you constantly try and drag silly movies into this discussion? It
doesn't serve your case at all.

Are you saying when things hit walls, there is no rebound action
involved? This ignores basic physics, I'm afraid. If they hit the wall,
and didn't penetrate the wall, as has been previously established, they
would stay at the wall, probably bouncing off the wall in pieces.

On one hand, you say the plane was shredded. Then you say the wings were
pulled, by some unknown force, into the Pentagon.

Can you explain this process? It sounds like something out of a bad
movie.

Someone else did mention the insanely large and wildly incorrect figure
of 120 feet. If I did say 20, I was being generous. Is there a point to
this sideline discussion?

Do you have an exact width of the circular hole? Is it closer to 20, or
120?

And what dragged them in?

You're saying the wings rebounded, but only partially. On one side, but
not the others.

Does that really make sense to anyone but you?

What made them "snap back", and then change direction again?

Perhaps not, if that was the sole indicator. Of course, we both know that

If one side toppled, then the structural strength was already destroyed.
But I'll let this pointless aspect go, absurd as it may be.

The story is impossible at its base, as no 19 foreigners could have
possibly evaded all of the intelligence agencies, and the military, and
NORAD.

The rest is just window dressing. Something for people to argue about in
chatrooms and on Usenet.

Your presumed behavior for the wings of the alleged 757 is also
impossible.

Yes. Very good. I agree.

I don't have to be a brain surgeon to use the term 'neuromagnometer'. It
doesn't matter who is and who isn't a demolition expert. That is standard
contractor parlance. I'm sure the kid who picks up broken bricks and 2 x
4s says "pulled" every day. "What time are they pulling the building?"

You are making a specious argument. Furthermore, how do you know who is
and isn't a demolition expert? You are piling assumption on top of
assumption.

> so the term _probably_ ment "pull firefire support
> from the building."

Actually, no. They used the same terminology when they pulled WTC-6 a few
days later.

Words have meaning. Saying "pull the building" is a far cry from saying
"pull the firefighters".

And there were no firefighters to pull in the first place, according to
your reasoning behind the WTC-7 collapse.

Remember?

The weird gyrations responsible for this to happen make absolutely no
sense, except that you are trying to shove a square peg into a very round
hole.

You offer no real support for this allegation, you just keep repeating
it. And it makes less and less sense each time. If your entire case for
believing a 757 hinges on this, pun intended, then it is a very weak
case, and deserves re-examination.

Of course, the engines are designed to fall off under certain stresses.
But their weight would actually cause the inner portions of the wing to
fly in the opposite direction than you are claiming.
