Freddy - have you looked at any of the sites that debunk the missile myth?
Some random quotes from witnesses alleging the sound of a missile are pretty vague. How do they know what a missile sounds like? I grew up on Air Force bases in Europe during the height of the cold war, and served in the Navy - but I can't tell you what a missile sounds like.
I also don't know what a 757 would sound like diving into the ground. When I hear passenger jets they are either taking off (all engines full throttle) or landing (air brakes and flaps deployed, with minimal engine noise until they are reversed upon touching down).
The Pentagon is basically an enormous bunker, so efforts to equate damage there with traditional buildings is questionable.
But I do dig that soundtrack!
