Having been onsite for quite a number of airplane crashes, numerous
military aircraft, jets and piston, single and multi engine, the thing
that struck me was the lack of aircraft wreckage and the bodies of
occupants.
Curious that the hole was round and showed no evidence of the wings or
engines impacting the building. Large pieces of engines have been on
every crash site I ever photographed as part of an accident
investigation team.
I know the conspiracy buffs want to go someplace with it. I'd like to
know what in hell happened to all the aircraft parts and pieces? Even
the space shuittle left a lot of wreckage and bodies that were
identified from how big an explosion and how high?

Not my area of expertise, but one thing that strikes me is that many
accidents happen attempting to land, with the pilot flying the plane
relatively slowly (depending on conditions, any damage, etc.), whereas
the Pentagon strike was apparently done at close to cruise speed.
Much faster, I think. Which means much more energy available, which
means things broken into considerably smaller pieces. I can easily
believe it wouldn't look like a normal crash-while-attempting-to-land
accident site.
