i spent 4 years in the USAF around planes. #1 the nose is a composite material for the radar. #2 the entire fuselage is made of thin aluminum skin supported by ribs or frames, very light weight. with all the re-bar concrete and steel frame and columns the plane would flatten like a soda can hit with a sledge hammer. #3 the only parts that could alot of damage is the engines and landing gear.a cruise missile with depleted uranium along with explosives might do the job.
It has to be either a heavy penetrator like DU or tungsten, or a shaped charge warhead, or some combination of the two. I'm not an explosives expert but I am an expert in basic logic and smelling bullshit a mile away.

a plane can't go through all them reinforced walls, then come out with a round hole about 12 feet in diameter. cruise missile ??

The round hole doesn't even have the same dimensions as the plane's nose.

Yea I'm agreeing with it. the "bullshit" being referenced was a: the boeing 767 and b: the thermonuclear warhead theory.
