this expanded pressure of the bullet and the fact it was probably a lead-core hunting round rather than the full metal military round as the one that penetrated 2 people answer is the same one that explanes the blown out windows on the towers that people think are demolition bombs - those 100's of tons of falling upper floors generated soooooo much compression on the spaces below them.
What explains the explosions in the basement that injured several firemen, that news footage shows as the firemen are asking what the hell was that, many minutes prior to the collapse and what explains the molten metal pouring out of holes in the corners of the towers several floors below the burning floors, as shown by news helicopter footage, many minutes prior to the collapse.?
Also how is it there was supposedly enough fire to melt the structure to cause it to collapse, yet most of the fuel on the jets that hit, went straight through and out the other side, hence the huge balls of flame seen existing the other side of the building? Plus the fact that jet fuel burns at a much, much lower total temperature than the heat that would need to be generated to actually melt the specially hardened steel that the central core of the building was constructed of.
Kind of like putting your butter knife in the flames from your gas stove and expecting to be able to melt it. It can be there all day and that knife will simply get red hot but not melt. Also, as the jet fuel burns off, there is not left to continue that heat, so any residual burning would be from all combustible components of material used to build the offices and building that was on fire. Again nothing burning so hot that it could melt that hardened steel core, which was the real support of the structure, with the outside materials just being cladding and finishing to the building. Maybe you can let us know your thoughts or opinions on those facts?
Another to contemplate is the white smoke trail seen in video footage from the car park security camera, across from the pentagon which ABC aired originally, that showed something speeding at a level altitude just above the ground as it hit and exploded on the wall, frame by frame, all that could be seen was a white smoke trail, no giant aircraft. A jet would not be able to travel like that nor at that height above the ground (far too low in the footage for a passenger jet) due to the terrain that would have been in front of it, such as trees and light poles etc. Plus the small hole shown in the original photos from the marines on site, showing the small impact hole, prior to the top of the building collapsing which then left a sort of overall V-shape, which the one shown by most news agencies.
Plus the lack of evidence of wing marks or engine marks on the building to the sides of the impact hole (that was a large jet that was supposed to have hit) in the first photos of the damage prior to the collapse of the top row of the building. And there has never been any photo of the jet approaching or impacting, released from footage of security cameras that would have been around the pentagon. Take a look at the French site "Hunt the Boeing" to see some of those early and later in the day photos. Some interesting questions posed.
