I must say I'm relieved to note that you're just being a pain in the ass rather than actually buying into this crap.
I keed, I keed.

Still, I do have questions that have never been answered about that day, especially things like the tiny hole in the Pentagon. Aluminum doesn't atomize on impact, It shreds.

Well first off, I don't know that anyone's done experiments on flying a fully loaded and fueled jetliner into a building made of reinforced concrete. Second, aluminum does not necessarily shred on impact. It can also crumple. Don't believe me? Go crush a can of beer.
People think planes are very strong, but they're really not. They're really just a really big beer can with wings. The strongest part on the plane is the wing assembly because it has to support the entire airplane. But the fuse section is just a hollow aluminum can. It'll crush, it'll crumble, and if exposed to conditions such as those at the pentagon it would probably do exactly what it appeared to do.
Besides, I personally know a guy who was there that day, and he saw a plane. Not a missile, not a laser beam, but a plane.
