Thats not what the officials said...
But anyway. If it didnt penetrate, it had to disintegrate itself on the lawn. Look closely at early photos, those where you can see the grass just before the building. Nothing... One would expect quite an important fire taking on the lawn, accounting for the 757 kerosene pouring on the ground and so on...

Acutally, concrete pillars wrapped around steel beams, IIRC. That was not really a flimsy building. In this account the pentagon (a 50's building) was rather flimsy as well...

That's probably why there is next to nothing left of it, including the steel of the landing gear.

Which, along with the 80t of molten - oops gaseous metal, had disappeared in a cloud, and moved, unnoticed, to an unknown desert before condensing...
All this, without hurting the grass, or even starting a fire *outside* the building.

Seriously. Do you think that gaseous metal would go very far ? Imagine the meteo guy: "tomorrow: after the crashes, an aluminium cloud is moving towards our city. Do not forget your umbrella..."
More troubling: the firefighters couldnt point to the remains of the jet. The officials interviewed the same day all moved away from the topic, more or less elegantly... One of them seemed obviously annoyed when the press asked him about the jet remains, and jumped *immediately* on another topic....
There are missing odd & ends, like this one:

The 3 frames taken by the video cam show "something" passing through. If you can identify a 757 there you're a genius.
