Yep, I have seen those pictures before. I would expect that the largest debris chunks would be landing gear sections (Titanium forgings) and engine components.
The first picture was the subject of "conspiracy theorists". They described the component as a generator, one that was never fitted to the type of aircraft that crashed into the Pentagon. Well, a quick look at any surviving manufacturers I.D.plates would sort that out...also bear in mind that non-standard uprated gear is sometimes fitted if it is rated and cleared, non-OEM stuff.
