Zardoz, what is this?

Do you want to discuss the subject or are you just dropping someone else's opinion on me? Anyway, I'll respond.

>Additionally, the video camera shows the impact, and we have a missing passenger jetliner which no one seems to be able to account for unless it slammed into the Pentagon

That's the whole problem. There's a hole in the building and a plane is apparently missing but the missing plane doesn't fit with the hole in the building, nor with the video which shows a small aircraft, drone or rocket, with a very small tail fin, passing by before the explosion happened.

As regards planes flying around, that is true but there are reports of not one but two planes, one of which was a large Lockheed transport.

I know the "official" story. I have heard it and read it innumerable times. I was also watching on CNN when the incident happened. However, when the French pictures etc on the internet appeared I was taken aback because, as far as I am concerned, the marks on the building and the debris etc are not consistent with the impact from a twin engine jetliner weighing 100 tons.

Furthermore, there is not a single scrap of wreckage from the aircraft to be seen --- not even a bit of the tail which, in an impact such as this, should still be sticking out because the aircraft is about 50m long and the debris within the building is seen for only about 30m.

Of course, I can't explain what has happened. All I know is there's an inconsistency between the "official" version and the result of the impact/explosion which I see on the pictures.
