DESCRIPTION: The nose cones (since they cover sensitive radar equipment) of most aircraft are made of composite materials. This is true of the 757-200. The aircraft on the left has been impacted by a bird. The idea that the nose of Flight 77 made a journey through the Pentagon and punched a hole 3 rings in and 310 feet away from the impact is hard to accept.

The Teterboro N.J. Crash

In February of 2005 a small commuter jet ran off the runaway and crashed into a concrete block wall. Interestingly enough it is very similar to the pentagon crash, just on a smaller, slower scale. Make note of the destruction to the nose. Keep in mind the slow speed and the un-reinforced concrete block wall.
