The burden of proof is on you. I've provided scientific evidence and sound logic to the table. You have not.
Sorry but the burden is on you.
You are making the claim that they do have footage.
Now prove that the pentagon was actually using the new IP camera system in 2001.
Just about anyone working in government will attest to the ancient technology they hang onto.
That's what the 2.3 trillion was all about. Multiple old systems not being able to work together.
The defense industry has always been on the cutting edge of technology,
B52 our current front line heavy bomber since 1952.
AC130 Since 1968.
C5 Galaxy since 1970
T38 since 1961
CH47 Chinook since 1962
P3c Orion since 1962
USS Dallas nuke attack sub since 1981
USS Jacksonville nuke attack sub since 1981
USS Dwight D Eisenhower AC carrier since 1977
USS Ohio guided missile sub since 1981
M2 50 caliber machine gun still our main 50 cal since 1930's.
M9 pistol still in use since 1990.
M1911 pistol used for 75 years.
There is a ton of other equipment that dates back to WW2 that is still in service.
I suggest to you that the government doesn't change anything unless there is a compelling need to do so.
That includes camera systems.
PS all pentagon security is through a contracted outside company.
so what's your point, then? that their own cameras were turned off? how about the cameras inside the hallways?
how in the world is the burden of proof not on you after you're clearly trying to argue against the obvious?

They said they didn't have any other cameras that recorded the impact.
So you must prove that:
1. They had functional cameras pointed at the impact site.
2. These cameras were hooked up to recording devices.
3. The recording devices were operating at the time of impact.
Me I'll trust them on this one.
Too many bother eye witnesses saw the plane hit.
Also hallway cameras would only show chaos not a plane.
Besides we have video of planes hitting WTC and people still don't believe it.

If the Pentagon was targeted to destroy records, why would video recordings survive and the records would not?
For the Pentagon theory to pan out, there needs to be two factions. The corrupt and those finding the corruption. So, just the one attack on the Pentagon took out all those fighting corruption. Wouldn't the narrative of the Pentagon attacking the Pentagon lead to a wide spread conflict with in the Pentagon and military?
Velasquez says the gas station's security cameras are close enough to the Pentagon to have recorded the moment of impact. "I've never seen what the pictures looked like," he said. "The FBI was here within minutes and took the film."
The FBI are talking about 85 videos, but this is just the result of an initial search that includes (for example) all videos obtained by the Washington Field Office. If we move on from that then the numbers begin to fall dramatically. 56 "of these videotapes did not show either the Pentagon building, the Pentagon crash site, or the impact of Flight 77 into the Pentagon on September 11." Of the remaining 29 videotapes, 16 "did not show the Pentagon crash site and did not show the impact of Flight 77 into the Pentagon." Of the 13 remaining tapes, 12 "only showed the Pentagon after the impact of Flight 77." Only one tape showed the Pentagon impact: the Pentagon's own security camera footage, that would later be released.
Video from security camera at Citgo Gas Station, 801 S. Joyce Street, Arlington, Virginia. Submitted to FAVIAU to determine if video showed impact of plane into Pentagon. Determined not to show impact. Obtained by FBI on 9/11/2001.
The Pentagon security camera footage was then released at the Moussaoui trial, but of course cleared up nothing at all. The Citgo and Doubletree footage followed, but didn't show the impact site.
how in the world do you buy this?
Did you read the inventory of them?
EDIT: in response to the video you just posted, where are the rest of the 84?
-> FBI states they found 85 related videos related to that request.
they have *85 tapes of the event.*
.I subsequently searched a series of FBI evidence databases, including the FBI's Electronic Case File system and the FBI's Investigative Case Management System, and determined that the FBI possessed eighty-five (85) videotapes that might be potentially responsive to plaintiff's FOIA request.
they do have 85 tapes of the event.
Maybe because the FOIA request was for videos showing the event.
how are you using your critical thinking by literally seeing that the FBI did not comply with the FOIA request and instead simply told us what was on those tapes?
and determined that the FBI possessed eighty-five (85) videotapes that might be potentially responsive to plaintiff's FOIA request.
