The flight data recorder is NOT indestructible. There are plenty of crashes where it's either never found or damaged as badly as the rest of the plane. Also, something traveling that fast (over 500 mph) made of aluminum would not be expected to survive intact or even in a recognizable form. How many times have you seen the nose of a paper airplane crushed from an impact? Now multiply that by about 1,000 and you start to get an idea of what happened to this plane.

Where is the debris? From inside or outside.
How did plane debris execute a (right angle) right turn, proceed down a hallway, then turn left(also around a corner), then go halfway down the corridor, then punch a perfectly circular hole through the wall?
I will post the photo in my next self-answer.

Try ramming an aluminum foil paper airplane into a cinder block at 60MPH. At that speed against that kind of resistance, you wouldn't be able to tell what it was.
LEARN SOME PHYSICS!

Yes! aluminum foil! physics! Still doesn't explain this:
How did plane debris execute a right turn(around a corner), proceed down a hallway, then turn left(around another corner), then go halfway down the corridor, make another right turn, then punch a perfectly circular hole (8-10 feet in diameter)through the wall?(see the pic)
or this:
Why did the government confiscate every video showing exactly what happened? Why were these numerous videos never released to the public? Why is it that the only tape released doesn't actually show the object that struck the pentagon?
The government is fully capable of lies and cover-ups.
GET SOME PERSPECTIVE!

Well according to what I ran, there was only a 05%-20% chance that 90% of the plane would disintegrate with that crash, and also more the pentagon would be wrecked. Given airplane speed assumably at full throttle Boeing 757, and weight of passengers(I approx pass. weight)

Okay fellas, 2 things: First, anything after your initial answers should be comments not answers. Second,keep it civil or plan on a trip to the penalty box. So far I see nothing that is worth PBing anyone over. Let's keep it that way :)

Name calling is a no no and I did say that I saw NOTHING so far :) It's all good.
