Reply #104: "The wings fold forward and crumble with the rest of the entire airliner." [View All]

Notice the following elements of this image:

1. The wings are still attached and are not "fold[ing] forward;"
2. The vertical stabilizer is still attached and not "fold[ing] forward."

Yet surely the aircraft must be experiencing radical deceleration as it goes from 480 "mph to nothing in a split second."

Your argument seems to be (correct me if I'm wrong) that the aircraft was going so fast and hit such a hard object that it was "destroyed". The aircraft was "destroyed" to the point that only a handful of remarkably un-scorched pieces were strewn on the unmarked lawn. Yet, the building that "destroyed" this aircraft retained unbroken windows. And the engines and wings all managed to make it through a narrow opening, then exit another narrow opening.

You seem to demand that the outside of the Pentagon was hardened to such a level that the aircraft was "destroyed" on impact, yet this exceptionally hard surface was permeable enough to permit tons of metal to enter the building and create damage.

You plead: "Please listen to reason here. There's no way that any wreckage would look like an airliner had crashed. All would be destroyed."

This is a patently absurd claim.
