Someone should do such an experiment to emulate conditions at the Pentagon (9/11). Is it possible to make a Boeing 757 disappear by throwing it at a solid building?

I have doubt about that. Im sure even at the speed it would have been going I cant see that happening. But on the other hand it would be a good test and shouldnt be that hard to copy. I just need to know the composition of the pentagon laugh and a spare 757 maybe an old ba one laugh
