Re: What did hit the Pentagon?

Planes aren't designed to crash into anything at 300mph any more than car park CCTV is designed to film high speed impacts. The predicted effect would be pretty much instant disintegration, an explosion and the engines carrying on for a bit. Other similar crashes follow much the same pattern.

But there was engines in the wreckage at the pentagon
Quite. Clear photos of an RB211 damaged by a severe frontal impact, in fact. Muppets think this is the engine out of a drone, because the RB211 is a lot *wider*, man, neglecting to understand the basics of high-bypass ratio turbofans (which I'd expect Hom3r to know, oddly enough. Surely you can apply some sort of test based on your own knowledge of your job to the aeronautical muppetry of these people and conclude that they're barking?).

Two engines hitting a wall would leave some kind of mark.
Like a hole through several walls with a heavily damaged engine at the end? Like the one found in, er, the Pentagon?
