Yes, the people that wrote this up are not good investigators. Look at the first picture group (bottom photo). The exterior section was obliterated, mainly due to the wings. Then look at the second section and look where the fuselage entered the building - pretty much like a bullet hole.

Also this is speculation from some people I know in Washington: the plane was aiming for the White House, but was too high on its pass. The trade center had already been hit and the government knew we had some hijacked planes. My friends think they saw a smoke trail and then something hit the plane. First accounts indicated debris falling on the Mall and then the plane circled, banked hard and hit the Pentagon. If you look at the flight path, it seems possible that the White House was the target, they got shot at with a Stinger taking out part of the plane, and the pilot was able to hit something else of value to my nation.

All I can say is wow!

But in terms of the damage to the Pentagon, I was under the impression that it could withstand a Nuclear blast, so one level of the Pentagon being damaged by the Plane is believable.....

Wow....

Well, for one....I heard the Pentagon was hit by the plane while the wings were perpendicular to the ground...

Guess not though....

Hmmm...another conspiracy theory?

Wouldn't it be slightly more shameful to admit a 747 (or whatever) was flown right into your prized military headquarters? Showing how unprotected and vulnerable your own military bases are in your nation's capital? Full of school children?

Or some drunk guy running a stupid truck into the side of the building. I don't see any tire tracks though.

I think if the government was interested in covering up something, they would have chosen the truck route. Heck, how about a suicide school bus to account for the people missing? That would be just as distasteful as this article.

Maybe they should have done a little research and noticed an empty classroom, once full of kids.

This is almost as bad as denying the holocaust..

Oh well ...

After seeing that, the pieces finally come together. This is what happened.

On the day of this event, me including a friend of mine was both watching it on t.v.. He and I both heard that there was a total of 8 planes stolen 2 that crashed, 4 that are still missing and 2 was shot down. The news casters announced that repeatedly about 3 times since they are constantly in the air and they need to find something to say. But about an hr later, the story changed and during the whole day, I was wondering what happened to the missing planes and the ones that were shot down which they never mentioned again. Later that night, they reported that 2 planed crashed into the world trade center, 1 that crashed from the struggle they had in the airplane with the passengers and the terrorists (*right..*) and one that crashed into the pentagon. Put 2 and 2 together, they shot down the one they claimed was in a struggle with the passengers against the terrorists, and they blew the other one off the sky claiming it smashed into the pentagon while in reality, it was a seperate bombing.

Now if you were the president of the united states, would u go on the air and say "yes i gave the authorization to blow the planes off the sky killing all that was on board because we couldnt control the planes and they were a danger to me."

Dont forget the plane that supposively *had a struggle* crashed near camp david or some crap where the president was located at the time.

I believe that is speculation, not fact.

Anyone who saw the WTC's come down might think that the planes were a danger to more than just the President. I thought that. I guess now I know I was wrong and nobody else was in danger after the first two planes.
