Flashy images and hip music are often attached to things that might otherwise be a hard sell. This clip has both. I watch most everything with a skeptical eye, however, this very pair of skeptic's eyes witnessed the hole in the side of the pentagon. When I saw it, if pressed to make a guess, I would have said that the hole was much smaller than anything I could imagine a 450+ mph 757 would make.
That being said, I admit that I am no expert. I imagine that the level of reinforcement of the walls in question could be to blame for the absolute lack of wreckage. However, sometimes I doubt that. If further pressed to concoct my own theory of events, it would be thus:
2 planes hit WTC buildings, 1 bomb explodes at pentagon. People are horrified at the thought of the loss of life, and before there can be any comprehension of the scale of the disaster, the story is changed from bomb to third plane.
Why? 2 reasons.
1. If there had only been one hijacking, and it had hit the pentagon, people would have questioned why jets had not been scrambled prior to the crash, and why they had not taken down the plane. Since there were two other planes slamming NY, people were ready to accept this as fact, an indeed, would have had no logical reason to think otherwise.
2. Someone getting a bomb near the pentagon speaks of serious security failures, which is not good at a time when you want to look as secure as possible.
This is not my belief, just a crackpot theory that I just made up while sitting here. watch the clip, let me know what you make of it.

(p.s. I poked around the site prior to this post to make sure no one had put up this clip previously, and I didn't see it. If someone already did, and I just missed it, then please just reference their post title, and I'll continue my discussion in that post.)
