Anybody who's actually visited the Pentagon (we did, several times) can testify to the massive destruction caused by the jet that flew into it. Sliced right through the building like a knife cutting a slice out of a Bundt cake. The "slice" was relatively clean and sharp, not all in a circle of disarray as a bomb would have done. People in the area saw it happen, and heard it happen. The fire burned for several days. The structural damage was massive. However, the Pentagon is a BIG building, far more massive than the jet. The structure is formed of several rings of walls of stone and concrete reinforced with steel, not glass, otherwise it would have caused even more damage.
