The Lack of Foundation Damage at
the Pentagon is Irreconcilable
with the Official Reports and Data

The
ASCE Building Performance Report has
meticulously documented the damage to the
building and has come to the conclusion that
all damage from the alleged plane impact was
limited to the bottom two floors, but
primarily below the 2nd floor slab so that
90 tons of jumbo jet would have slid on it�s
belly across the 1st floor slab all the way
through the C-ring.
"The aircraft seems for the most part
to have slipped between the first floor
slab on grade and the second floor."
pg. 28
They also suggest that the right wing of the plane had to have been
tilted up to account for the generator
trailer and the anomalous damage to the
facade. This illustration is figure 6.1 from page 35 demonstrating this:

With a finite amount of space between the bottom two floors and the
required wing tilt that they report, the
ASCE report illustrates that about half of
the left engine would have burrowed into the
foundation of the building:

Here is an RB-211 for scale:

The engine is about 6 tons and would necessitate an incredible amount
of kinetic force attached to a 90 ton jet
traveling 535mph.
Yet the ASCE report does not list any significant damage to the 1st
floor slab and it appears relatively
untouched in all photographs all the way
through to the C-ring hole.





All of these images from the FEMA site were taken by Jocelyn Augustino
on 9/21/2001 just 10 days after the event: 



Here are some examples of what a plane crash would do to a ground slab:

What underscores this irreconcilable anomaly is that the
final altitude shown in the alleged
black box data would require the
aircraft to pull out of an
impossible dive as reported in a
previous article and depicted
in these images created by Pilots for 9/11
Truth.

Based on the descent rate provided by the NTSB in the FDR data, due to
the G loads required for that vertical
speed, it is aeronautically impossible for
this aircraft to have pulled out of that
dive instantaneously and be level with the
lawn as depicted in the 2002 leaked and 2006
released Pentagon security video. 
Furthermore, the FDR does not show and has not recorded any positive load
required to pull out of this dive. In fact,
it shows less than 1 G for that segment
which represents a "pushing forward" motion
on the yoke, as seen in the animation
reconstruction provided by the NTSB (See
Pandoras Black Box - Chapter Two - Flight
Of American 77), instead of a "pulling
level" motion required.
Based on the descent angle, vertical speed and G Loads observed in the
FDR data, descent and vertical speed
required due to topography, the 90 ton jet
would only compound the damage to the first
floor slab if the plane hit the building
where it meets the ground as reported.
The physical evidence at the Pentagon is anomalous on many levels and
irreconcilable with the official reports.
The DoD itself called the damage
"counter-intuitive". The animation released
by Purdue University actually omits the
engines from the airframe and does not
continue vertical stabilizer path, most
likey due to the fact they cannot account
for the lack of damage observed at the
pentagon from these heavy airframe
structures. 
Questions like this are why so many who research 9/11 initially had
issues with the Pentagon attack. The
anomalous damage and lack of parts recovered
-- which were never positively identified
as having come from American Airlines Flight
77, nor will government agencies release
such information via FOIA, giving unlawful
excuse to withhold this information --
is just as observably questionable as the
collapse of WTC 7.
Some researchers have abandoned the Pentagon attack primarily due to
the mainstream media published eyewitness
accounts of a plane. However, when analyzed,
many of the witness accounts vary from what
Mainstream Media has published. Witness list
has been analyzed here.
When considering the eyewitness reports and on location research of
Citizen Investigation Team along with the
alleged Flight
Data Recorder analysis by Pilots For 9/11
Truth, there can be no other conclusion than
that both sets of data are irreconcilable
with the physical damage to the building.
Government agencies refuse to comment and
mainstream (and some alternative media)
refuse to report it. Attention to this
important evidence is paramount to exposing
the 9/11 deception.
