Inside the Pentagon. That's what happens when a plane crashes INTO something. When a car crashes INTO your house, is it just splattered all over the exterior? Part of the mystery is that you are not aware of what happens in a crash.
Of course it wasn't a Scud. They come down at a steep angle, not plowing in along the ground. Learn something before you try to enlighten anyone. I was in the business of designing systems to shoot down Scuds. A Scud would not leave behind airplane and passenger artifacts. It would also have a warhead (not in evidence). I am tired now, and cranky, and I just don't know how to respond to total ignorance amplified by arrogance. Somebody told you this and you just sucked it up like a lollipop without doing any due diligence. Talk about the Credulous American.
Aluminum airplanes are a lot stronger than iron cars. But you keep on forgetting that a heavy stream of water would also penetrate the building and buckle columns if the force was strong enough. Shall we calculate? A 767-200 weighs 142,900 kg (315,000 lb mass) and collides at a speed of 710 km/hr (~197 m/sec). The plane decelerates approximately in its own length, 48.5 meters. The effective deceleration is 400 m/sec2, or about 41 times the force of gravity. This means the total force to bring the 767-200 to a stop is about 13 million pounds. To give some perspective, this is about 1/8th the weight of the RMS Titanic It is absurd to think the columns could have resisted this force, and they were the only things slowing down the plane. Aside from the periphery and core columns, the rest of the structure was a total pushover.
No. If the car crashes INTO your house, it has gone fully inside your house...and cannot be seen from the outside. This has happened, surely enough. Other examples are cars that drive into storefronts.

You are not aware that you believe absolute bullshit. It was a scud missile that hit the Pentagon, not a plane. Get up to speed!

An aluminum plane does not cleanly penetrate a metal wrapped building. An iron car goes into a wood house and you still got a car, lol.

Ah, so it‘s math magic and not common sense. And thea can fly at 500mph a few yards off the ground (pentagon.)
If a car crashes into your house, you see the car. Is this seriously your argument?

You entertain me. The stupidity is magnificent. MOAR!!
I notice you have no argument except derision. How do you expect to impress me when that is so obvious?
