I have been attempting in this forum to see if the debunkers can give straight, simple and consistent answers to questions regarding various aspects of the 9/11 attacks. So far their efforts have not been fruitful. The answers range all over the place and are mutually contradictory. This does not seem to bother them, as it is more important to question the motivation of the Truthers, than it is answer questions. My two previous questions regarded the hole in the C-ring of the Pentagon and why the tail did not damage the facade of the Pentagon. This week's question is, where did the right wing of the plane impact the Pentagon? Mark Roberts (aka Gravy) shows us this image at his website:
Mark Robert states this regarding the "hole", "The hole made by flight 77 extends along the wing line, left and right of the fuselage hole. It is not a cookie-cutter hole: that simply cannot happen when a plane hits a heavily- reinforced concrete building. Flight 77 hit the Pentagon at a 43-degree angle to its west wall. It came from the right of the photo below."
If the right wing hit within the area shown by the rectangle, then this contradicts the information in the Pentagon Building Performance Report(PBPR). At the moment of impact the plane was tilted to the left between 7 to 9 degrees. The PBPR states, “The left wing passed below the second-floor slab, and the right wing crossed at a shallow angle from below the second floor slab to above the second-floor slab.” It goes on and reports, "The right wing was below the second-floor slab at the fuselage but above the second-floor slab at the tip, and the left wing struck the building entirely below the second-floor slab, to the north of column line."
So the right wing could not have damaged all of the area within the rectangle. Somewhere between column line 17 and 18 the right wing should have impacted the second floor slab and gone up from there. Mark Roberts has the all impact beneath the 2nd floor slab. So for Mark Roberts to be accurate, he should show the rectangle at a slight upwards tilt. If he does, will he refer to this as the “hole” and no longer refer to the damage on the first floor as the “hole”? The area beneath the first floor slab appears to be more damaged so maybe that is why he chose to show the impact there. If the right wing is sloped upwards slightly a "hole" becomes less obvious.
This also brings up another important issue. Regardless of where the right wing impacted the building, how were the columns behind the facade, where the right wing hit the Pentagon, damaged? If the wing disintegrated or folded back what caused the damage to the columns behind column lines 15 to 18. If the wing never punctured a clear hole through the facade, how were the columns on the other side damaged?
So who is correct, Mark Roberts or the Pentagon Building Performance Report regarding the impact of the right wing? As well, explain how the columns on the other side of the facade were damaged if they were never impacted by the wing.
