The bomber that crashed into the Empire State Bld

[lenbrazil]

One of the silliest arguments that 9/11 CTist put forward is the "the hole in the Pentagon is to small" nonsense.

On July 28, 1945 a B -25 Mitchell bomber crashed into the 34th Street side if the 79th floor of the Empire State Building. The wingspan of the plane was 68 feet [21 meters] ( www.acepilots.com/planes/b25.html ), I couldn't find specs. for the size of the fuselage but it apears to be about 10 feet x 10 feet[3 x3 meters]. The resulting hole was only 5 x 6 meters [16.5 x 20 feet] ( www.tms.org/pubs/journals/JOM/0112/News/News8-0112.html ) the hole was less than a third of the wingspan but was slightly larger than the size of the fuselage.

A 757 has a much wider wingspan than a B-25 124 feet, but it's fuselage is about the same size 12.3 x 13.5 feet. The hole in the Pentagon was about 16 x 20 feet [ www.abovetopsecret.com/pages/911_pentagon_757_plane_evidence.html ] just about the same size as the hole in the Empire State Building.

The abovetopsecret link above offers an excellent debunking of the "no plane hit the Pentagon" BS. Ironiclly ATS is a CT site.

I looked up some plans I have for the B-25J, and the fuselage seems to be about 5.5 feet wide by 7 feet tall at it's maximum. Those figures aren't entirely accurate, but they would be within a few inches.
