Hey, I've seen Godzila. A Hellfire missile can clearly create an explosion powerful enough and with an explosion big enough to knock the top off the Chysler Building. Don't you be telling me that the explosion was too big for a missile. I've seen Demolist Man and Golden Eye too. They made a explosion even bigger that the Pentagon one with just a few blocks of C4.

Actually, that's another point that I forgot to mention. Movie special-effects explosions are almost invariably created using gasoline, as it's (relatively) inexpensive and safe, plus gasoline explosions look "cooler" than demolition explosives, due to the large fireballs. Therefore, people with little or no real knowledge of explosives (such as most conspiracists) might well not realize that the fireball in the videos could only have come from a large amount of jet fuel.
Here is a
video of a Tomahawk cruise missile striking a test target. Unfortunately, the fact that the test explosion looks completely different from the fireball in the Pentagon videos cannot be taken as conclusive evidence without knowing what type of warhead and how much fuel the missile was carrying, but it is highly suggestive.
