737 wing tip knocks over a truck
Here’s a clip of the tip of the wing of a trundling 737-700 knocking over a truck without pause, and with hardly any damage to the wing (see closeup late in the clip).
Recall that the wings of the 757-200 — a heftier jet (255,000 lbs vs 155,000) — that supposedly flew into the Pentagon on 9/11 supposedly folded up like closing scissors upon hitting the concrete walls and disappeared into a 16-20 foot wide hole (there to disintegrate), with little damage to the walls where the length of the wings and the engines made contact.
Wing span 124 feet.

I don’t think this clip has any relevance. Cannot compare 10 mph collision with averred full-tilt Pentagon hit.

(This is part of Jim Hoffman’s powerpoint on the no-Pentagon-jetliner theory. I find Hoffman fairly convincing on this.)
