    My favorite conspiracy theory is "Where did the plane go that hit the Pentagon?"

    My response: "The same place that Payne Stewart's plane went".

    Some people don't want to believe how insubstantial modern aircraft really are....

    Good point. People don't understand how the material react to the crash. First, most of the composites all but desintegrate in an impact (any Indy Racing fan would know this.) (At a minimum they turn into very small and jagged shards.) Second, the jet fuel is more than hot enough to get the aluminum burning. If I remember correctly, aircraft aluminum has a high magnesium content.
