I don’t give a damn about any theory.

If the Pentagon was hit by an airliner then where is the evidence of damage done by the wings and engines?

Answered previously.  
Once again, do you have anything _new_ to ask?

ROFL

We get answers like that and then they want to call Truthers stupid. LOL

They just expect to be able to order people to be more stupid than they are.

Every truther is ignorant. Not necessarily stupid.

Look up in this thread. There are numerous pictures of the damage the plane caused. If you’re too lazy to accept information that is given to you, you’re the one with the problem.

You aren’t insightful, you’re uninformed.

That’s an interesting way to look at it. My first instinct is to ask where the evidence is of damage done TO the wings and engines. To each his own, I guess.

Not everyone. Some of us call “truthers” uninformed. I can see why some exasperated participants in these types of threads all over the internet might call a truther “stupid.” Or “ignorant.” Or “delusional.” But, the “truthers” are merely uninformed.

But, to take that a step further–once they have been shown the evidence, and been “informed,” what do you call such a person when they can’t seem to grasp the science behind their “uninformedness?” I don’t want to say “stupidity” or “willful ignorance.”

I think it’s because the Eiffel Tower always looks so, I don’t know, \*delicate \*in pictures, like some pretty little ornamental lattice work. And then yeah, you’re standing under it or close to it and it looks so large and solid and metal.

[**psikeyhackr** useless reply here]

You see **Alessan**? One has to be precise or otherwise people who are trying to avoid the evidence just pounce on mistakes/incomplete info like that.

As I said, the Pentagon’s size is only a part of the explanation. Most often the truther sources “forget” to mention that the hole was on the second floor and miss that the evidence on the ground showed that the main impact happened in the first/ground floor.

So once again, what was posted already:

> **[www.oilempire.us](http://www.oilempire.us/pentagon-photos.html)**

(scroll down to the pictures)

And then the video of the simulation (also already posted) does show photos of the damage the plane did to the ground and power generator just before hitting the pentagon.

psikeyhackr, would you please admit you have looked at these things? I’d like to know for a fact that you simply \*choose \*to ignore facts and that you have no intention of approaching this in a fair and unbiased manner.
