Stevo- that's a great picture! I hadn't seen this one before. You were quite observant to see that. Notice that the burned spots viewable from above follow the connecting hallways that connects all of the rings. This part is not reinforced the same way the rest of the buildings are. Those parts actually caved in because they were no longer supported by the reinforcement that is between them. Imagine you have a grape with a ruler on it. If you smash the grape, the whole ruler colapses, not just the middle. It's a poor comparison, but I think it illustrates what I'm trying to explain. Also, the plane (or projectile) came in at a decent angle. It did not hit the wall straight on. Looking at the picture, I'd say it came in over the right overpass. Great find, though. Thanks for posting.
You're absolutely right, ShaniFaye. According to news articles before the attack, there was constrution on the very part that was hit, thankfully saving the lives of possibly hundreds of people who would have been working otherwise. As with usual news from the petnagon, the news of renovation was a bit vague. I'll ask my Uncle (who happens to work there from time to time) the next time I see him, but I'm honestly not sure. All I heard was just that there was some major construction being done there. Good question. Thanks for posting.
