    Lightbulb Question

    I have never posted in the political section of the board, but I just wanted to see how many people think in the same direction..When the pentagon was hit, do you think it was actually a plane? Or do you see it more as someone on the inside setting bombs, or even a missle that went through? If you have seen the pictures and are as skeptical as I am..just curious. I know they reopened the case though. I read also that there is a hotel close to the pentagon, and a gas station as well. Their video surveilance taped what it really was that hit (or didnt hit) the pentagon. They were able to rewind the tapes and watch them before the FBI got there and took the tapes away. Anyone else find it perturbing that those videos haven't been released?

    The damage appeared to be caused by a bomb IMO. I think we'll see an "edited" version of the tapes one day.

    will give you some information.

    In the autopsy and identification procedures, in which the Army, to its credit, spared no expense with forensics and DNA identification, all but about three, as I remember, of the passengers and crew of Flight 77 were identified from the remains taken from the crash scene. Those remains were ultimately returned to the families. The hijackers/murderers families were the only ones who did not claim identified remains.

    I'm sorry, but it is a disservice to the victims of that flight, both on the plane and in the building, to claim it never happened.

    I did read that people had smelled something like a bomb. Those holes in the walls are just too small to be caused by a plane.

    My uncle was in the Pentegon that day and there was no doubt in his mind that it was flight 77 that hit the building.

    Do you have any idea how thick and armoured those walls are?

    The Pentagon is Command HQ for all the armed forces. They didn't make it out of 2 x 4's from Home Depot!

    My mother was on the other side of the building in the attorney generals office,she said it was a plane.

    Where it hit was the army intel section until about 3 months before that,they had just moved to the DIA building off 295.
    It took out the hall that led to my fathers old office.
    It flew over some of the busiest highways in the country before it hit and was seen by thousands of people on thier cummute to work.

    That part of the building was pretty much empty,had it been in full swing,1000's could have been killed.
    I drove by the next day and saw it myself.They couldnt shut down all the highways so lines of traffic were there with people taking a look.
    It looked like it hit early,then skipped into the building.Had it hit head on,it would have been alot worse.

    A common misconception is that the pentagon is the HQ of our military,its just a hub,and not a very big one.
    There are far more civilians who work there then anything else.

    There are just things that I have read that don't add up with the other information people have been given. I hope that if something else happened to the pentagon besides a plane hitting it, someone will find out what did do the damage.

    Someone please tell the families of the dead passengers and crew that it was a staged or planned attack from a rogue wing of the Pentagon. I bet that will go over well--especially for the Solicitor General, Ted Olsen, whose wife, author Barbara Olsen, made her last cell phone call from Flight 77.

    I did read that people had smelled something like a bomb. Those holes in the walls are just too small to be caused by a plane.
    The section of the Pentagon that was hit by Flight 77 was the first of the recently completed hardening and interior renovation. The comparative lack of damage was a testament to the effectiveness of the new construction. This included blast windows (which saved hundreds of lives that day), fire suppression systems, improved concrete walls, et al. All wedges of the Pentagon are now undergoing the same construction improvements, which were long overdue anyway--the building is sixty years old.

    The primary proponent of the ordinance conspiracy theory for the Pentagon strike is a French author. No surprise there...
    Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.

    In an atmosphere of chaos, people will often claim they smell things (like burning jet fuel) and probably say that it smells like a bomb, although I can't speak personally.

    As for the suggestion that the holes are too small, I think a lot of people who conclude this because they don't understand how big or how reinforced the Pentagon is. Each outer wall is 920 feet across, whereas the fuselage width of a 757 is only about 45 feet, approx. 1/20th the width of the building.

    Considering the damage made it all the way through the Pentagon's C-ring, everything suggests in this damage photo that this hole (warning: mega size photograph) was caused by a high speed projectile, undoubtedly a plane.

    What percentage of the population knows what a bomb smells like in real life? I can think of 2 bombs going off in the US in the past 2 decades-- OKC and the first attack on the WTC. Maybe 5-10,000 people out of 297 million would know the smell.
