Parts of it probably kept right on moving. The main deck and the landing gear, for instance. There may have been a bit of delay before the piling-up material could all make its way throught the holes in the wall, but it would have happened over such a short period of time that it hardly matters how much resistance it met. It acted in many ways like a modern 7.52X54R heavy ball hitting steel. The bronze and lead parts ablate a bit, but the steel core just keeps on keeping on for some distance. Hungarian yelolow tips will penetrate about an inch of steel at a hundred feet.
Just the air inside the fuselage would have added to the impact. It takes a whgile to squeeze the air out of the fuselage. To give you some idea of the significance of air pressure, try hitting yourself on the head with a partially-deflated tire. Not too impressive. Inflate it just short of bursting and hit yourself, it may as well be a rock.
Parts of it kept right on moving' ?.....'..a bit of delay before the piling-up material could all make its way through the holes in the wall' ? WHAT holes ? This is the stuff that was supposed to be MAKING the holes. I've noticed a fair bit of this insane kind of reasoning in the last week or so from the debunking side . I wonder if it's some new kind of strategy ?
