And perhaps a 'sleight of hand' was more feasible logistically and financially. Maybe nothing hit it - there was a quite a few Pentagon folks who smelled cordite and called it out by name, many other described a shock concussion wave experienced around explosives.


Must have been a huge hand. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

As for the suspicious-sounding word, but ineffective low-explosive propellant product called cordite:

Cordite is now obsolete and it is no longer produced. Production ceased in the United Kingdom, around the end of the 20th century, with the closure of the last of the World War II Cordite factories, ROF Bishopton. However, Cordite propellant may still be encountered in the form of legacy ammunition dating from World War II onwards. The smell of Cordite is referenced erroneously in fiction to indicate the recent firing of weapons.


Cordite

So, I guess we're to believe that a Boeing 757 did a low flyover to distract everyone's attention while a main battle tank sauntered up to the Pentagon and blasted away without being seen and rode off down Pennsylvania Avenue while everybody was looking the other way. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
