In all those pictures provided of the pentagon wreackage. Can anyone point out any of this reinforcement mentioned in the above article?
I will demonstrate this one more time and maybe you can help me see what I'm missing here:
In front means outside, right? Past the threshold, the ledge of the first floor slab? So why, just to the right of the solid plywood bracing, at the onetime location of double columns 11AA, am I seeing a sloping pile of rubble inside the building, sloping UP TO floor level?
Here, two angles and some objects on that slope:

I love how you always have your bases covered. We're all not talking about a 'single broken column.'
It would be silly of course to look at something like this and presume a plane's right wing edge did it. ULESS a plane was supposed to have crashed there, with its right eing right about there.
And BTW has anyone ever ID'd the MISSING chunk of the generator, before the emptied-out corner there melted down? Was it cartoony?

Craig;
You have failed to address the core point I have shown you again - the pile of rubble is ISNDIE the building, okay, as well as outside. But the part inside slopes up TO THE FLOOR level, it is NOT piled on top of it. Yes I love my digital crayons but that has no bearing. I'll take your silence as a tacit admission that you simply refuse to acknowledge a plainly obvious fact.

The members of the Pentagon fire department who literally had Flight 77 coming straight at them, would have recognized a missile as opposed to an airliner.
"So many people think Mark and I watched the plane hit the building. We did NOT. We only saw it approach for an instant."

"The airplane appeared to be a Boeing 757 or an Air Bus 320- white with blue and orange stripes."

So Craig, when will you admit that you are playing fast and loose with some of the aspects of your whole "it was north of the Citgo station" story?
Even the majority of the people you say you have talked to, say it was an airliner that hit the Pentagon. Construction workers, law enforcement, reporters, military members, hundreds of people had a front row seat that day and watched an airliner hit the Pentagon and its "it was a flyover" or "it was a missile" from the CIT types......
As it has been said, and documented, many times on ATS, from the witnesses, the wreckage and the bodies recovered, there is no doubt that American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001.
"I just looked up and I saw the big nose and the wings of the aircraft coming right at us and I just watched it hit the building," Air Traffic Controller and Pentagon tower chief Sean Boger said. "It exploded. I fell to the ground and covered my head. I could actually hear the metal going through the building."
She had this startled look on her face. We were all thinking the same thing. We looked out the front of our windows to try to see the plane, and it wasn’t until a few seconds later that we realized the jet was coming up behind us on that major highway. And it veered to the right into the Pentagon. The blast literally rocked all of our cars. It was an incredible moment.
"At 9:40 a.m. I was driving down Washington Boulevard (Route 27) along the side of the Pentagon when the aircraft crossed about 200 yards in front of me and impacted the side of the building. There was an enormous fireball, followed about two seconds later by debris raining down. The car moved about a foot to the right when the shock wave hit. I had what must have been an emergency oxygen bottle from the airplane go flying down across the front of my Explorer and then a second piece of jagged metal come down on the right side of the car
I work in Washington DC area, and was on my way to work, in my car, sitting on a bridge, and saw the plane hit the Pentagon. I am in a complete state of shock.
He was first alerted that the day was drastically changing when one of the medics told him that a plane hit the World Trade Center. While watching the tower burn, another plane hit the second tower. “Thinking that this was a very serious terrorist attack, I went outside to the river to take a break. As I was looking across the river towards the direction of the Pentagon, I noticed a large aircraft flying low towards the White House. This aircraft then made a sharp turn and flew towards the Pentagon and seconds later crashed into it.
He remembers the helipad the plane flew over before smacking into the Pentagon was close enough to him that ''I could have thrown a baseball at it and hit it.''
"It just was amazingly precise," Daryl Donley, another commuter, said of the plane's impact. "It completely disappeared into the Pentagon
It was then that the other events of the morning crystallized in the realization that tragedy was about to occur. With all of these images spinning in my head, the only words that came out of my mouth were "Oh no!" With that, the airliner crashed into the Pentagon and exploded.
Her commute to the airport took her south on Route 110, in front of the parking lots of the Pentagon. As she approached the parking lots, she saw a low-flying jetliner strike the top of nearby telephone poles. She then heard the plane power up and plunge into the Pentagon.
As he crossed Route 110 he appeared to level his wings, making a slight right wing slow adjustment as he impacted low on the Westside of the building to the right of the helo, tower and fire vehicle around corridor 5.
"I saw this very, very large passenger jet," said the architect, who had been packing for a move. "It just plowed right into the side of the Pentagon.
The building starting shaking, and I looked over and saw this big silver plane run into the side of the Pentagon. It almost knocked me off."
The windows were dark on American Airlines Flight 77 as it streaked toward its target, only 50 yards away. The hijacked jet slammed into the Pentagon at a ferocious speed
am sorry to rain on your parade, but I saw the plane hit the building. It did not hit the ground first.... It did not hit the roof first... It hit dead center on the side... I was close enough (about 100 feet or so) that I could see the "American Airlines" logo on the tail as it headed towards the building...
I said that as a metaphor. To me it was like a missile was fired at a building. It exploded as you'd imagine a missile to explode. ... It was an American Airlines jet. And I watched it go into the building. I saw the big 'AA' on the side.."

This is what the real Sean Boger is on record as saying about that day...

Watched it hit the building.....

People like you, have been driving some of my friends nuts almost since Sept. 12, 2001. For all I know, it was you that used my friends names on other websites to promote your "investigation"
