It would come as a great relief to me if someone could answer any or
all of the following three questions (I have placed a $15.00 price on
the question but will add a tip of an additional 15.00 or more if
multiple questions are answered, or if any is answered exhaustively):

1) "Why does the damage to the Pentagon from the terrorist attack on
9/11 appear in photos to be much narrower (in terms of width of damage
on the front face) than would be expected based on the size of the
airplane which was reported to have hit it? And are there any pictures
and/or video stills available of the actual impact or the wreckage on
the grouds before the swift clean up?"

2)"What explanation is there for the fact that a building in the World
Trade Center complex, World Trade Center 7, which was not struck by an
aircraft, nor to my knowledge by any debris, also collapsed on 9/11?"

3) Is there any truth to the allegation that certain stock sell offs
in the days prior to 9/11 would indicate advance knowledge of the
attacks? Any published inquiries into this matter?

If I could afford to offer $200.00 for deep answers to these questions
I gladly would - however, circumstances are such that can only afford
and will very much appreciate $15.00 worth of illumination you can
shed.

Thanks - Tom

At the time of the attack, the portion of the Pentagon struck was in
the final stages of a refurbishment, which included the installation
of reinforced walls and blast resistant windows. The reinforced
construction reduced the amount of damage.

Here are the only pictures of the impact that have been released:

There is the controversial site of David Icke (check this name on Web
Google), who offers his very personal ideas about 9/11, where he seeks
to provide explanations and also offers some links.

If you haven't already, I would STRONGLY recommend reading William
Langewiesche's American Ground, which, although somewhat
controversial, addresses a number of the questions you ask and quite a
bit more.

Regarding WTC 7, it was struck by debris from the towers, but the
building was brought down by the uncontrolled fire, fed by
approximately 40,000 gallons of diesel fuel stored in and under the
building.
