If you ment that the geo channel lied, I don't think so, they used a different term or word. They could have also said laminated glass.
If you're referring testimony of some of the escapee, maybe they were lucky enough to pop out one of the dammaged window, but breaking it, I seriously doubt it.
The dupont company is best suited to explain what is "blast resistant windows"

here is a snippet of info on how resistant those windows are
Quote:
So resilient was the newly strengthened section of the Pentagon that a glass display case only 40 feet (12 meters) from where the plane entered the building survived without a crack.
Countless additional injuries were prevented because new windows in the renovated section were "blast-resistant" and did not explode into flying glass splinters, because new fire sprinklers operated as designed, and because alert personnel turned off power and utilities to the affected areas before evacuating...
The blast-resistant windows were nearly two inches (5 centimeters) thick. Some of them remain remarkably intact and in place adjacent the point of impact. Some were popped out of their frames by the force of the exploding jet fuel, but they fell without breaking or splintering.
