"No airplane, regardless of size, can fly through such a wall. This has been calculated in detail and tested in 1988 by flying an unmanned plane at 480 mph into a test wall." - Anthony M. Gaglierd
I find this statement interesting because it sounds like we've had drones for quite awhile and not as recent as it's been stated. Maybe I've just not been paying attention :)
"The plane, including its fuel tanks, collapsed against the outside of the wall, penetrating less than an inch. The engines are a better penetrator, but still dug in only 2 inches." - Anthony M. Gaglierd
However, I did pay attention to the details of the plane that slammed into the Pentagon. If the walls there are 5 feet thick, why didn't we find most of the plane lying outside on the ground?
My theory is they flew a model airplane into the reinforced, steel-lined five-foot-thick concrete walls surrounding the nuclear reactor.

The Pentagon doesn't have reinforced, steel-lined five-foot-thick concrete walls. It is merely and office building. It IS the largest office building in the world, but just an office building nonetheless. And office buildings don't have five-foot-thick, steel-lined, reinforced concrete walls. They have windows.
