Doubtful to me that it would be a passenger jet could make such a hole. We are told by the Pentagon that the plane disintegrated on impact, yet we are to believe that the nose of the plane was strong enough to penetrate 3 rings of the building and form a perfectly round hole all the way through?

What do you expect an aircraft travelling at several hundred MPH colliding with a virtually immoveable object to do, bounce off? Disintegration sounds likely to me, based on what generally happens to planes in conjunction with solid objects.
The nose thing (and yes, I know the US authorities mentioned it first, they were stone wrong, too) is a total straw man - if one uses ones brains you get this:
1) there's a hole
2) the nose of an airliner colliding with a solid object is unlikely to be in a fit state to do anything afterwards.
3) something must have caused the hole
3) hang on, there are two energetic circular heavy solid objects hung off 757s travelling at 45 degrees to the outer wall that past accidents have proved take some stopping. To whit, the engines.
As mentioned earlier, one of the other sites on this subject is definitely erroneous when talking about turbofan engines.
I read those pages many moons ago and concluded the authors know very little about aircraft design and construction (probably as little as the press and most US government officials, which is why I don't trust any of them).
