There are undoubtedly video tapes of what hit the pentagon. Does anyone really think that the Pentagon wasnt completely covered in video surveillance? The fact that they pretended they didnt have any proves that the official story is false.

I must respectfully submit that because there were so many ignored facts by officials, and sequestered evidence ignored by the "steering" committees involved in the official explanations, that everything or anything these officials and government people have stated are simply not credible in any way. Even if everything they said did actually happen, their lies and stories simply have no credibility either way. I also know from spending years actually building the wings for the Boeing company that they are not hollow. They have very strong front and rear extruded spars and the inboard ribs are not just thin metal like the baffle panels every 2 plus feet are. There are also fairly thick upper and lower rib strengtheners that would be like knife blades when hitting anything at the speed said was crash speed.
Those inboard ribs the wing skins are attached to and the wing skins near the wing's center section are insanely over designed for strength and robustness. They would have been a powerful sword when striking that building and there isn't a trace of damage in places that would have been obliterated if that aircraft actually struck at that speed. Not shattered into dust as they say happened.
The other factor that is rarely addressed is how the official stories have all been sold to everyone, by using peer pressure, emotional pressure, the fear of ridicule, and every other means of deceptive pressures to force that story on the public or be the target of a political form of excommunication on naysayers, unbelievers, and even people asking too many uncomfortable questions.
Whether or not the official story is true, the stench of a dirty rotting rat is quite prevalent and still smells today just as strong.

Some Good Pic.s and Video of the Pentagon on 9/11 here . It's Very Hard to Believe a 757 was Involved .....
www.bibliotecapleyades.net...
They have a missile defence system there now don't they?
Wonder if they upgraded the entire exterior of the Pentagon to deal with the threat of a carbomb.

Now this is getting interesting
I'll throw something out there that might surprise you.
The GOFER06 flight was able to continue on his way after the Pentagon crash. It just so happens his route of flight took him northwest near through PA. He was asked by the Cleveland Center controllers to verify a reported crash area. He reported smoke over the crash site. UAL93 was the crash.
ETA This was a coincidence, I don't anyone going away with the idea there was something nefarious about this.

Wrong. I asked a captain at the airport waiting for a flight. He actually answered my question. I asked if a 757 could be brought down from 8000 feet to 30 feet off the ground at speeds claimed by the official report. He laughed and said the airframe could not handle those stresses. Remember the plane was supposedly going so fast it disintegrated the passenger seats and most of the plane. All BS. The hole in the wall is too small. One small hole made by the body of the aircraft? Please. The engines alone are like bowling balls hanging on the wings. Those alone would pile through cement before a hollow tube of aluminum. Force=Mass x Acceleration. What planet did you test your physics on? And if you question my numbers look at the hole in the picture. Actually looks as if the hole is ground level up.

Are you serious, is that true...? ( Yes it is )
That is so 'convenient' that I actually believe this to be a coincidence - anyone planning a cover up would go "nah, nobody'll fall for that!" and decide to go with two different guys.
Still, though, the same Airforce officer used to lend credence to both crashes... I cannot that it does not make my conspiratorial heart beat a little faster!

2 things.
1: the WTC towers were not hollow. this is an insane misconception and believing such things would convey an arrogant dismissal of the obvious - that being the reinforced steel core of their construction. the steel was also much thicker on the bottom of the building vs. the top of the building, to allow for further structural integrity and sway.
2. everyone here who believes a 757 was manually controlled and flown into the pentagon faces a logical dilemma.
nobody here can confirm the exact angle and process for a 757 to cause what we see above - as has been said time and time again, the pentagon videos that would show this and put the matter to rest are to this day withheld from the public.
the pentagon report, NTSB and 9/11 commission report all contradict each other when describing AA77's flight path, both through text and visual simulations.
OP - even if a pilot saw a 757 crash into the building, there are still many obvious holes and intentionally unanswered questions.

Pale, let me clarify - I'm not challenging what you're asserting.
I believe that the information you found is valid reporting. I simply question as to whether or not it actually solves any of the mystery. I don't believe that it does.
