Default more facts

It was a 757. A tad smaller than a 747, but still a huge plane.
The weight of the plane was about 100 tons. To stay airborne it had to fly at more than 250mph. It was heavily fueled. The kinetic energy and the ensuing damage are known, check the WTC case... One can see a gaping hole 1.5x the size of the aircraft on the side of the building (not to mention remains still sticking out, like the tail of one aircraft...).
In the pentagon case something's definitely fishy. Look at the attached picture...

So, any serious idea ? (with links, good pieces of evidence and so on plz..)
