First, I believe, from what I have read heard and seen, that after the fact 
modeling was pretty much right on for the damage to both the Trade towers 
and the Pentagon. Not even going to waste the time looking up the numbers.

Second, look at the damage at the Pentagon (which was never even REMOTELY 
envisioned to withstand any such impact)... jumbo jet at high speed into a 
non-reinforced building with windows... not really a lot of physical damage 
at the outset, the jet basically disintegrated upon impact with the 
exception of the engines... most of the damage was from the fires.  The same 
thing for the Trade towers, BOTH planes disintegrated, there wasn't much 
that made it all the way thru the fairly lightly built structure, many 
survivors said they barely felt a shudder. Again, the towers were brought 
down by the fires.  60+ inches of REINFORCED, SPECIALLY ENGINEERED concrete 
doesn't suffer too much from even high temperature fires...of which there 
have been several in the history of the nuclear industry (eg Browns 
Ferry)... So the engine only crash tests are certainly applicable and valid.

If further proof is needed, I have been proffering for many years (BEFORE 
9-11), both here and to officials, that simple, FULL SCALE test's could have 
been conducted at the unfinished power plant that was used to film the movie 
'The Abyss' (in Alabama I believe), both on the partially completed 
containment building and its ancilliary buildings... however, I believe it 
may be too late to do this now, if memory serves, they have started 
converting it to conventional power generation.

As far as a plane being loaded with explosives... well, lets hope that our 
intelligence gets wind of that before it happens.
