I saw a documentary on PBS about the rebuild of the Pentagon. There weren't any pics of plane parts either. Funnily, it had just been rebuilt...
I'm not entirely surprised though, since it is after all, the Pentagon, and also since it does sit fairly close to an area that was flight restricted for many months (Reagan airport).
The twin towers became the focus of attention on the first hit, so it wasn't surprising to be able to see the second hit.
As for the Pensilvania field, well, it's a field, and not of any interest otherwise. You can't even see any plane parts there either, but it looks like the plane went straight into the ground, and from reports, parts were no less than 10 feet deep.
As for the links, I looked at them, and it looks roughly like the plane slammed the ground before hitting the Pentagon. Again, I haven't seen many pics, but I'm sure that all flight traffic was kept far, far away (including specifically the TV news helos).
It's hard to tell what some of the pictures are trying to say. It seems that there's some kind of confusion about how a plane so large could make a hole so narrow, and short. The thing is, planes aren't as solid as people think: they're not solid metal, and on impact, a lot of the structure is bound to collapse (i.e. wings break off).
I have no doubt that there were no explosives on board. The fuel alone is what caused the fire, and it is consistent with the ball of flame that was seen at the WTC.
You know, the funny thing is that before all this, just about anyone was able to enter the Pentagon, and was free to walk around. Not any more!
