Bugs Bunny is not reality.
For some reason, I spend time debating with Truthers about 9/11. One of their points of contention is the Pentagon and that it was not hit by a plane. One of the primary reasons they claim this is that there is no wing hole in the wall of the pentagon and only the fuselage seemed to make any damage to the wall.
I tell them, usually, their knowledge of physics should not be based off of cartoons. In a cartoon, if Wile E Coyote hit a wall, this happened:
But this is not reality. When a plane hits a wall, it will not look like this:
Why you ask? Makes sense doesn’t it? There are wings, they should leave an impression right? Quite simply, planes are meant to travel through the air, not concrete. The mass of a plane is in the fuselage, so when it hit the pentagon you aren’t going to see holes in the wall where they hit.
But we saw them on the WTC towers. And? The WTC’s front face was a facade - very thin. When the plane hit the steel supports, the planes disintegrated, as you’d expect. Purdue University has a great series of pictures on what happened to Flight 77 when it hit the pentagon.
It makes for great reading. Unless you are Daffy Duck and want to believe the Looney Tunes are a true representation of reality. But, I have a feeling that the truth and the Truthers do not intersect too often, so this is the only image we’ll see of them:
