This is the most bull that I've heard in a while. Honestly, do you actually think that a missile hit
the Pentagon? Think about it...
-An aluminum airplane will not stand up to the concrete, bricks and steel of the Pentagon. While
there was penetration, as the author said, through the E, D, C and half of the B ring, it was not an
airplane that was penetrating most of that. It was a fireball thrust forward from the momentum of
the aircraft. The wings and tail were sheared off on impact, and most likely incinerated since a lot
of fuel is in the wings and the tail couldn't have been far away. The nose was reported to have
penetrated the B ring (by now, it's definitely not a missile if there's fire and brimstone but the
nose is still intact. So where's the nose? Remember that fireball? Yeah, it was right behind it.
-The author seems to think that even though the WTC was attacked by (and this has been confirmed
left and right) Al Quaida, on the same day as two other hijackings, the culprit is some sort of
missile. Who was firing the missile? The feds? You think that we would actually fire a missile at
our own building?
-The points about intact windows, cable spools and unmarked turf are full of holes. First of all,
The plane hit the pentagon while still airborne (hence the actual hole, not a doorway). Of course it
didn't tear up the turf. He was comparing it to planes that crashed into mountains and the ground.
Besides that, if a plane didn't destroy those things, then neither would a missile (and a bomb on
the inside is impossible, as security was high enough that somebody would have been caught, and the
puncture zones wouldn't have been the way they were). A missle which detonates on impact (a bunker
buster would not have been the weapon of choice for practicality reasons) would have most of its
force directed on the outside. Those windows would be more likely to break if it was a missile than
if it was a plane. Plus, I'm not sure if they were like that in 2001, but now all the windows in the
Pentagon are bullet-resistant and blast proof.
-"No remains found". A Boeing 747 or 757 is made up of mostly aluminum, aside from things like
plastic and farbric interior. If you ever watch a chemistry class heat up aluminum, it doesn't melt
unless under special conditions. It disintegrates once at a very high temperature (jet fuel could
easily do the job) and once the exterior was gone, the interior and frame would burn as well,
leaving nothing behind. If you don't believe me, think about the staircases in the Pentagon. People
on the second floor open staircase doors to be met by a fireball shooting straight up. This was
because the jet fuel was hot enough to actually incinerate the IRON OR STEEL that the stairs were
made of, making what was essentialy a chimney. Besides, there was nothing that confirmed a missile
had hit the building except eyewitness accounts and some mysterious dust (a bomb could have been on
the plane as back up).
-When you ask why the World Trade Center suffered such damage while the Pentagon was under control
in hours, think about it really hard. The World Trade Center was more or less a stock exchange and
office center. Its was also, what, 80 stories high? The plane that hit it (which, by the way, didn't
make it either - the plane hit it and a fireball came out the other side)left a huge hole in the
metal framing, which was very delicate given the height of the building. The Pentagon is also more
or less an office. But it's filled with people our government actually cares about, and whenever you
walk through it, you'll find plenty of fire blankets, fire extinguishers, gas masks, etc. The reason
the damage was so controlled was because the people inside took action and put out fires. The death
and injury toll was much lower in the Pentagon than the twin towers because of this.
-"It sounded like a missile" "It was high and whiny" etc, etc, etc. Drive to your nearest airport
and wait for the 757s to fly over you. Sounds pretty loud and whiny, like a missile perhaps. Not to
mention that the author of this piece of work put in one quote that was especially degrading to his
efforts. "It looked like it was holding 8-12 people" (sic). For the sake of argument, we'll trust a
traumatized eyewitnesses testimonial. While a Boeing 747 or 757 certainly holds more than 8 people,
a fighter jet or missile bearing aircraft that could slip through without being shot down first
would hold less, my guess is a maximum of two people.
-The "renovations" on the Pentagon were not reenforcing the structure. I've gone to the Pentagon,
and what they were doing was electric work. The phone lines, power lines, etc that the Pentagon had
had been there since the building was first established. It was a large project, but all of the old
wires were being replaced. Believe me, that won't help against the impact of a commercial
airplane.
-If flight 77 wasn't what hit the Pentagon, then tell me, where is flight 77?
I'm not usually one to deprecate Bush-bashing efforts, but this is just crap.

Uhhh....no. One crappy video of someone who looks sorta' like Osama's cousin is not "confirmed

Yes, hence the huge roostertail of dirt in the parking cam video. (ROTFLMAO)

Cetainly. The thousands of videos we saw in Gulf War I where missiles destroyed concrete bunkers
are figments of our imagination.
A missle which detonates on impact (a bunker buster would not have been the weapon of choice for
practicality reasons) would have most of its force directed on the outside.
Which would explain the huge fireball on the outside.

Can you elucidate? I would definitely use a bunker buster to bust a granite building.
"No remains found".
Yet they identified the remains of most of the folks who were in the planes the hit the WTC 100
storeys up, and found the unburned passports of the "hijackers'" gimme a break.
But it's filled with people our government actually cares about,
Tells me a lot about you Bushbots.

I live at the end of the runway at a major Air Base. Don't even presume...
-If flight 77 wasn't what hit the Pentagon, then tell me, where is flight 77?
Where is the crew of the Maine? Where are the passengers of the Lusitania? Where are the soldiers
on the Arizona?
Sometimes empire requires sacrifices.

It wouldn't be hard to fly flight 77 under the radar (when there was so much chaos that day) and
ditch it in the ocean or something. I'm not saying that is exactly what happened, but it's most
plausible.
Also, if the Plane was flying that low and that fast where are accidents and what not that were
caused from low flying turbulence? I don't know what happened, but I see zero evidence of large
passenger jet flying into the pentagon.

Yeah, I saw the photos of what you're talking about.
Where was the tail and what not though? The few scraps of metal was what I saw being carried out.
Perhaps you saw different ones?? anyways, the pieces I saw Didn't even have burn marks on them.
I dunno what hit the pentagon, Could be flight 77....? Could be it wasn't. I'm leaning towards it
wasn't for the simple fact of lack of wreckage, Lack of damage such as wall structures still
standing where the plane supposedly went thru.
Evidence can convince me otherwise I'm open to anything.

"Uhhh....no. One crappy video of someone who looks sorta' like Osama's cousin is not 'confirmed left

Explain to me then why Al Quaida has taken so much responsibility for it and the hijackers were
linked to Al Quaida.
"Yes, hence the huge roostertail of dirt in the parking cam video. (ROTFLMAO)"
I don't doubt that a plane would kick up plenty of dust while only a matter of feet off the ground.
Besides that, if the turf is fine, but there's still a roostertail, then don't even begin to think
that a missile rocketing that close to the ground would have a different outcome.
"(ROTFLMAO)"
Shouldn't laugh at your own comments, even if they are ridiculous.
"Cetainly. The thousands of videos we saw in Gulf War I where missiles destroyed concrete bunkers
are figments of our imagination."
Of course, it was destroying bunkers. Sounds like a BUNKER BUSTER.
A missle which detonates on impact (a bunker buster would not have been the weapon of choice for
practicality reasons) would have most of its force directed on the outside.
But the penetration wouldn't have continued so far inside, and the damage on the outside would have
been much more extensive.
"Can you elucidate? I would definitely use a bunker buster to bust a granite building"
If you ever are in Washington DC (and I will be on the 24th for a peace rally, so I'll check as
well), then go to the Smithsonian Air and Space museum. They have a bunker buster, and it's giant.
Besides which, and I'll assume that we're talking about Al Quaida here, because I have issues
believing our government would kill people with money, the people whose lies it strives so hard to
cover up... a bunker buster isn't exactly easy to get one's hands on when compared to a missile
(which I'm not saying is easy, but all the same, I doubt that they would have used one).
"Yet they identified the remains of most of the folks who were in the planes the hit the WTC 100
storeys up, and found the unburned passports of the "hijackers'" gimme a break."
I'm not refering to the remains of the people in the Pentagon, I'm refering to the plane itself
(read the blurb more carefully). And as far as the burnt up passports go, I'd like for you to
elaborate on that.
"Tells me a lot about you Bushbots."
"You Bushbots"!? Listen buddy, I'm a liberal, and I hate Bush just as much as you, but that doesn't
mean I believe that the governments in some sort of conspiracy to get me. Just because I think that
its more likely that four airplanes did the job than three and one missile in the same day doesn't
mean I'm a "Bushbot", it means that I'm a realist.
"I live at the end of the runway at a major Air Base. Don't even presume..."
Maybe you have a point, because the planes I hear are by Dover and Charlottesville Air Force bases.
All the same, I wouldn't rely on, as I said, traumatized eyewitness accounts.
"Where is the crew of the Maine? Where are the passengers of the Lusitania? Where are the soldiers
on the Arizona?
Sometimes empire requires sacrifices."
First of all, that doesn't answer my question. Second of all. the difference here is that your
assuming it wasn't even an airplane. We know the Maine blew up, we know the Lusitania was sunk, we
know that the Arizona was destroyed. But you're implying that there never was a Flight 77 involved.
But there was a Flight 77 existent at one time, so where do you think it is? While Japedo makes a
valid point, I'm more eager to believe it was a plane.
Altogether, I'm more willing to believe that four planes hit within the same day (We saw two of
them hit, we found the wreckage of the fourth in Pennsylvania) as told to me, unfortunately, by our
government (who, believe me, I am always reluctant to believe, but they have quite a few pieces of
evidence backing them up) than I am to believe somebody who presented his opinion to a forum in the
form of a flash movie.
You haven't countered all of my points, which implies to me that a good portion of them were valid.
I'm a little disappointed. Hope to hear more from you.

Altogether, I'm inclined to agree with you.
So you know, I am not the creator of the video. But, I think it brings up many valid points.
As to plane vs. missile, I lean towards plane. That lean is due to Occam's razore as opposed to
any physical evidence. If you are going to have to destroy the plane anyway, you may as well smack
it into the building.
There are still plenty of valid questions. At the WTC we identified tons of remains. Where are
the identifications of remains of passengers at the Pentagon? Have any remains of Barbara Olsen
been identified?
My allusion to the Maine, etc. was to show that our government is more that willing to capitalize
on the death of its citizens, and even kill its own citizens, in order to justify engaging in
profitable wars. The Maine and Gulf of Tonkin were fortuitous events that were capitalized om. The
Lusitania and Pearl were instances of our government willfully sacrificing citizen's lives in order
to gin up American blood lust.
There has been so little evidence given regarding 9/11 that it is always going to be open to
speculation.
As for Al Qaeda taking credit, I am waiting for them to claim credit for Katrina. Terrorist groups
love to take credit for stuff they didn't do. Also, keep in mind that the bin Laden and Bush
families have been business partners for decades. That would explain why a SEAL team hasn't come
back with Osama's head in a bag. Odds are he will die of natural causes at a ripe old age.

Wow, quick response, heh.. Thanks for the welcoming. I came upon this site looking for this flash
video to show my family. I viewed it a long while back and just remembered it today, with all the
talk of 9/11. Though I still am not 100% sure it is a "conspiracy" or just a rumor, I may be
leaning towards the idea of it being a conspiracy. Some shocking footage, and more knowledge of
what kind of person G.W.Bush is, hah.
