i suspect it wasn't a bomb.  it was the second tower hit and that
tower was hit lower and it was a big fucking plane.  it was designed to
withstand a plane hit, but i doubt the engineers were planning on the
plane to come in on a low, accelerating approach.  it just gave up.

they're interviewing an eyewitness that saw a large plane hit the pentagon.
