Putting to rest a few conspiracy theories?

Is is just me or does the video of the plane flying into the Pentagon on 9/11 look nothing like a plane?

According to Wikipedia, the height of a Boeing 747 is about 13 metres. The height of the Pentagon is about 27 metres which would mean that the plane in the video should be about half the height of the building. It's not.

Why oh why do we keep hearing about this? Why must we continually lied to? Why the hell hasn't the group who demanded the video to be released to the public actually done some measurements? Everyone with a brain knows it wasn't a goddamn Boeing 747 that did all that tidy damage. Everyone who has flown over the Pentagon can see that there is not enough room for a plane to fly into the side of the building. It would have taken out a huge section of a nearby highway.

Geez Louise.

On an unrelated note, I would like to ask all members of the Jewish community to acknowledge that there are Holocausts happening all around the world as we speak. Maybe the money that is being poured into WW2 memorial services can be put towards stopping more genocides. Just a thought.

Isn't the point of reminding people about the Holocaust to keep more from happening? Stop funding rich kids' trips to Israel and make them fight for cultures that are being wiped out in the Middle East and Africa. If not, why not fund poor kids to get the fuck out of Israel? I hear Canada is nice this time of year.

Actually Flight 77 was a 757 which is much smaller, about 10 meters.

I also don't believe in a conspiracy for the simple reason that the past 5 years have clearly proven that the neocons aren't that smart.
