74. Carrier landings are NOT sudden, like hitting a wall is.
In a carrier landing the arresting hook on the plane catches on the cable and the plane is brought to a stop in just under a couple of seconds, and the landing speed is about 140mph, or there abouts.

The pentagon speed was about 530 mph (Even a stupid CTer should be able to see that makes a difference.) and it was a crash into a solid building, not a catch on the arresting wire.

Think of the difference between a bungee jump, and the same jump without a bungee cord. The first is like the carrier landing. The second is like the crash.

Comparing a crash to a carrier landing was extremely stupid and showed a strong ignorance of both crashes and carrier landings.
