^ This is what you found. This is also what you should have done your research on. Let me disprove (almost) all of your arguments.
1) The case may be made out of Titanium, but the Gs in a crash will still wreck havoc on the insides, no matter how strong the case is. There are plenty of cases where the recordings inside the black boxes were damaged upon impact (look up a few Seconds From Disaster videos, those generally have failed black boxes) and yes, there are even cases where the boxes were never found.
2) Tower 7 - If you saw videos of the main towers collapsing (which you should have), then you would see that the debris from the falling towers covered a large area. So it's a no brainier that some of the very hot material from the main towers hit building seven, ignitable fires. Add an insufficient sprinkler system, and the fires spread in building 7, getting to the point where they weaken the structural support of tower 7, and just like the main towers, collapsed on itself. The main towers fell when their supports failed from the heat, and tower 7 fell for the same reason, but not the same cause.
3) IT'S THE PENTAGON. Only one of the most top secret building in THE WORLD. Do you honestly think that the government will release footage of the pentagon? As them about Area 51 first. That's only an airbase.
4) The attackers were most definitely trainer pilots. They trained in southern Florida (Huffman Aviation School) in the year 2000, and there is physical evidence (records) of that.
757 - The cruising speed of a 757 is 458 knots. This is 527 MPH. The Velocity Never Exceed is about 50 knots more than a cruising speed, so that is 508 knots. A plane can go faster than the VNE, but it is not safe to do so. Even still, 508 knots is 585 MPH - faster than your 575 MPH. In other words, the 757 was going slower than the speed at which it is rated as unsafe - but can structurally go faster.
When you are planning to smash into a building, you don't really care about safety anyways, so you don't really care about the VNE anyways.
The 757 did in fact crash into the ground before hitting the Pentagon. The wings clipped the ground (and power poles before that), meaning they were already breaking into the body when the plane hit - no engine hols. And yes, the plane did break up and disintegrate after impact, but parts of it were found (so there were remenents).
The 757 was full of aviation fuel to maximize the damage. All the burning fuel melted most of the plane, and all of the luggage.
NORAD - It did react to 9/11. Keep in mind a few things: first, the first signs of trouble came from the actual attacks. The hijackers killed the radio and transponder in the planes. So no one was able to contact them to find out that anything was wrong, and you don't scramble fighters when a plane loses its radio.
Fighters - they were scrambled. Over the East Coast. Full of people. I bet you never heard a fighter aircraft up close: THEY ARE LOUD. there is a reason why the fighters were told to fly slowly - there are people and property below them that can get hurt or damaged if the fighters break the sound barrier.
So yes, I just gave reasons why all of the conspiracy theories don't hold ground.
Like I said before: If you read it, GO AND RESEARCH IT. Crunch some numbers if you have to.
