    the one that hit the Pentagon can't even break a few windows

    ‘Some windows near the impact area did indeed survive the crash. But that's what the windows were supposed to do—they're blast-resistant.’

    “Blast mitigation windows” is another term used to describe windows that are built to withstand the pressure wave from an explosion. Since these reinforced windows can mitigate the damage caused by a bomb blast and resulting pressure wave, they are often referred to as “blast mitigation windows.”
