They should show this video to anyone who wonders where the Airliner went after it hit the Pentagon.

Damn... That was pretty awesome.

And since I AM a U.S. citizen. When I run for president I promise to elect Sriad into my cabinet so he can run those tests.

No, they should show such morons a longer version, most show the after effects, which is basically an intact wall with scorch marks. Though it should be noted that this test section consists of reinforced concrete, while so far as I can tell the Pentagon walls have no rebar. The section hit however did have a web of steel I-beams welded together behind it as a protection upgrade (the Pentagon, back when it was designed in WW2, was meant to be highly resistance to bombing or artillery fire)
