Just wanted to say thank you to Invictus, JohnWarren, Pollux, and the other debunkers on here. There's a lot of wild-eyed conspiracy theories floating around in regards to 9/11 (and the moon landing, the Kennedy assassination, Pearl Harbor, etc.) but they don't really hold up so well if folks stop and think. Thanks for doing your parts to set the record straight.
Dittos, asyouwish72.
I'm afraid that the Mistress and i would be worlds apart on that theory and having studied the collapse of the WTC (and listened to it's architect explain what happened) both my observation of the elements that lent themselves to it's compromise and the description of why it would fail that way and fall so quickly and vertically by him, made perfect sense.
In the case of "video evidence" of the object that hit the Pentagon; most estimates have it moving at 250 mph; that's about 366 feet a second. Even full 24 frame video surveillance cameras don't cover angles wide enough to have captured more than a few blurry frames of something like that.
For those who think the (very selectively shown) damage in that video should be more extensive, please do an image search for the other photos available and then read the following:

The planes hitting the WTC were hitting a paper bag compared with the structure of the Pentagon, where the plane was the paper bag.
And more:

TheAllegation: 9/11 Revealed suggests that American Airlines flight 77 was not hijacked and flown into the Pentagon but that, instead, “a drone Boeing 757 is used or a smaller, more manageable plane painted in American Airlines colors.” Facts: This theory ignores the fact that the passenger and crew remains from American Airlines flight 77 were recovered at the Pentagon crash site. A team of more than 100 forensic specialists and others identified 184 of the 189 people who died in the Pentagon attack (125 from the Pentagon and 64 onboard American Airlines flight 77). All but one of the passengers onboard American Airlines flight 77 was positively identified as a match with DNA samples provided by the families of the crash victims, as reported in the Washington Post on November 21, 2001. This provides irrefutable proof that American Airlines flight 77, not a drone or other aircraft, crashed into the Pentagon on September 11. The Collapse of the World Trade Center Towers Allegation: 9/11 Revealed suggests that the collapse of the World Trade Center (WTC) towers occurred because not the terrorists flew airliners filled with jet fuel into them, but because the towers were “pre-rigged with explosives.” Facts: The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) conducted an extremely thorough, three-year investigation into what caused the WTC twin towers to collapse, as explained on NIST’s WTC Web site. Some 200 staff reviewed tens of thousands of documents, interviewed more than one thousand people, reviewed 7,000 segments of video footage and 7,000 photographs, analyzed 236 pieces of steel from the wreckage, performed laboratory tests and sophisticated computer simulations of the sequence of events that occurred from the moment the aircraft struck the towers until they collapsed. Its conclusion is that the twin towers collapsed because the impact of the planes severed and damaged support columns and dislodged fireproofing insulation coating the steel floor trusses and steel columns, which meant that the subsequent fire, which reached 1000 degrees Celsius, weakened the floors and columns to the point where they bowed and buckled, causing the towers to collapse

Yes, I know, this is from a State Department website, so it's all propaganda ... those rabid political groups and guys selling their "evidence" are far more believable.
No one every went broke selling the American public a conspiracy theory. 43 years after Kennedy there are still some who think "one guy with a crappy rifle could never have done that." I've seen guys with crappy rifles shoot better than that. Repeatedly.
