Take a good look at the configuration of the gear.

Did you ever bother to think about that, oft neglected, nose gear?

It doesn't have a "knuckle" configuation.

Now given that the shaft itself is Titanium, and thus far more resistant to heat, as well as the likelihood that the outer portions would have stripped off the main shaft from the impact, it's pretty likely to be just that, the nose gear.

The other possibility is that we're looking at the landing from the top down, and you can't see the "knuckle" assembly because it's buried in the debris. You'd be looking at the portion that connects to the body of the plane.

It certainly isn't a missile landing gear. Nor is that Turbo-Fan engine anything you'd find on a missile.

And thus, that eliminates your belief that a missile hit the Pentagon, and not an airplane.
