If a plane could take down a tower, the pentagon should of been destroyed. If you watch the securty cam from the pentagon, the object is much smaller.

And the fact that it was the fucking pentagon. One of the buildings with the most surveillance on the planet and all we get is one blurry gif.

Explanation:

After more than 50 years of high intensity use the building was ageing. Plans for refurbishment were hastily modified in the light of the 1995 Oklahoma bomb.

This meant protection against external explosions was rapidly incorporated: Kevlar mesh reinforced the masonry infill wall panels and modern blast resistant windows were installed.

But only one ‘wedge’ of the building had been refurbished before the terrorists struck, and it was the reinforced outer walls and window frames of this refurbished section that took the initial impact.
