thoughts?

One thing that has always struck me as a telling feature of this particular event is those light poles. It has been my contention that the damage to the poles is completely inconsistent with the damage that should have happened as a result of a large aircraft striking them at 400+ mph, the final point of rest of the downed poles is also completely inconsistent, the damage done to the wings would have been severe, so sever as to significantly disrupt the lift of the wings and very nearly 100% certain that the lift would be disrupted significantly unequally between the left and right wings. This would cause the plane to start rolling, and as the plane was so close to the ground one of the wings would have struck the ground causing a very dramatic crash somewhat before it even reached the outer wall of the Pentagon. I think it would be not too terribly difficult to do a finite element analysis of the colision between a pole and a wing of the plane as both structures can be representred accurately in simple forms. all that would be needed is engineering data of both pole and wing.
Any thoughts on this?
