There's a massive difference between accidental crashes and intentional ones. The aircraft involved in the 9/11 attacks were all near fully fueled at the tyime they impacted their targets- accidental crashes involving aircraft and buildings typically happen either on landing, when the aircraft is low on fuel, or on takeoff, when the aircraft is traveling at a relatively low rate of speed(and often a high angle of attack). Neither of those conditions existed in this case.

And no, there would not necessarily be a whole lot of wreckage- jet fuel burns extremely hot, hot enough to melt or burn almost the entire aircraft. In an ordinary explosion, there would be a significant amount of wreckage as the airframe would be spread out before the fire could reach certain parts of the plane. However, we are talking about an aircraft crashing into a building that was designed specifically to CONTAIN explosions, fires, etc. The whole aircraft went into the same spot, so the whole thing burned- the only parts of the plane that are designed to withstand that kind of heat are the engine turbines(which woud have been more or less completely destroyed anyway, from impacting a building as sturdy as the Pentagon) It's really not that difficult of a concept.

The aircraft that crashed into the Pentagon was a smaller Boeng jet, I believe it was a 757(a small to midsize jetliner usually used for domestic flights and flights to neighboring countries), which is larger than the 737 and 727, but smaller than the wide body 767. Considering that all of the eywitnesses were far away from the building and aircraft, it might have looked very small, especially when compared with a building of the Pentagon's size. A missile would have been too small to see clearly at such distances, and a smaller aircraft could not have caused such extensive damage.

Then, of course, the largest single flaw in this bullshit conspiracy theory- if the plane that hit the Pentagon was a small aircraft or missile, then where the fuck did the airliner go? The flight was tracked on radar right up until it went into the building, so unless 757's have suddenly become capable of trans-substantiation, there's no way this is even possible.

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.
