Obviously that point was moot after they heard about what had already happened in NY.

 

Actually, I watched a lot of the coverage last night. One report said that the plane that hit the helicopter landing pad at the Pentagon might have been heading for the White House. The reporter said that since the White House is hard to see from the air (lots of trees and not that big from the air), the terrorist pilot(s) could have just gave up and hit the Pentagon instead.

[QUOTE]I have heard that the hijackers were only armed with knives. Each plane had at least 38-100 people aboard, was there no one that

umm...coming from dulles the pentagon is on a path much further south than a route to hit the white house.

 

But your right Josh, no one knows for sure, it's just speculation...

 

Actually its the government saying it, not the news. And they won't disclose why they believe this, but its safe to assume that they have a solid reason for saying this- that its not just speculation on the part of news reporters.

I agree.
