Yes, it is obvious that a 250 lb, 40 foot x 10 inch pole did not hit the cab.
But the trouble is that the Official Story says it did. So we need to consider that angle.
Then Lloyde England himself says that huge lightpole did not hit the cab.
He said his pole did not have a base on it, but that THAT end of the pole "was not cut off ... it was in the ground, in concrete, standing up".
He says he was 400 yards further north when it happened, and that a 12 foot x 4 inch diameter pole came through his windshield.
So we also need to consider the testimony of this eyewitness and victim.
But the photos show the cab beside the 40 foot pole, 11 minutes after the impact.
Then Lloyde is there 18 minutes after impact.
Lloyde is being guarded by three officials during the photo shoot.
Why???
One guy is from the Arlington Fire Dept, according to the number plate on his white car.
The guy in the blue shirt is Detective Don Fortunato, who drove the silver sedan across the barricade.
He spoke on TV news later that day, saying that this is what he did. He parked beside Lloyde England whose windshield was knocked out by pieces of
pole.
The tall black guy arrived in the brown Jeep, which seems to be another fleet vehicle. There were several of them about that day.
Lloyde was standing way off in the middle of the highway for about 10 minutes before the Jeep arrived on the bridge.
In previous Jason Ingersoll photos, we can see Lloyde out there, talking with another man as they watch the Pentagon fire.
He is also seen on the amateur video taken from the bridge, walking north in the HOV lane, towards the Pentagon, at 9:44 a.m., before those photos
were taken.
Then, there are 2 photos which show a brown Jeep driving north towards Lloyde, with a black-uniformed Pentagon police officer outside each front
window. Possibly helping it get through the traffic.
After this, the Jeep arrives on the bridge, and the black man and Lloyde are seen in the photographs after this.
It turns out that this black guy is Aubrey Davis, who was Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's personal bodyguard that day.
We know this, because there are videos of this same man with Rumsfeld taken prior to his appearance on the bridge.
We first see Rumsfeld and his Security Detail of about 6 men (some of whom appear in later photos, picking up wreckage from the lawn), arriving on the
scene less than 4 minutes post impact.
Then we see them all running from the highway, over to a victim lying on the grass, and Rumsfeld helps carry the backboard over to the ambulance,
while the other guys trot along beside, doing nothing.
They then stood casually at the side of the highway, hands in pockets, while Rumsfeld stripped off his jacket and ran off to help carry more
victims.
There is abundant clear footage identifying Rumsfeld's tall black bodyguard, Aubrey Davis.
He was interviewed for the first chapter of political journalist Andrew Cockburn's book, "Rumsfeld : An American Disaster".
Davis told a few fibs there.
He claimed that they were "pushing patients on gurneys". Gurneys are wheeled trolleys, which were not used that morning. Plastic backboards were used.
6 or 8 men carried each backboard.
Davis claimed that he helped. But he did not. All he did was walk alongside. He touched nothing.
He stated that, as soon as they had finished moving a patient, he escorted Rumsfeld back into the Pentagon, where everybody was desperately looking
for the Secretary of Defense to lead operations. That is false.
There is footage of Rumsfeld in shirt and braces, orange backboard in hand, beside the Pentagon wall for quite some time afterwards.
Aubrey Davis said, "We were gone for fifteen minutes, tops". That is false. They left Rumsfeld's office immediately after the impact which occurred
at 9:37:46 a.m. They allegedly had to walk from the eastern side of the Pentagon, down stairs, along the north side to the west side, but instead of
walking close to the wall and heliport, they somehow appeared on the footpath along the highway, in 3 minutes from impact, then ran back across the
lawn to the first victim. It seems that in fact, they must have driven around the road, not walked.
According to official documentation, Rumsfeld did not appear at his post until almost 10:30 a.m.
But Davis said they were "gone for 15 minutes, tops", which means Rumsfeld would have spent only about 6 - 7 minutes outside.
He appears on video for much longer than that.
And of course, his bodyguard Aubrey Davis was starring in those photographs on the bridge, until almost 10 a.m.
There is a photograph of Rumsfeld and Aubrey Davis walking back into the Pentagon.
Allowing 4 minutes for them to get back to his office, this must have been no earlier than 10:20 a.m.
This raises serious questions.
Already, everyone inside was angry that Rumsfeld had deserted his post, and wanted to know why.
They dubbed him "RUMSFLED".
WHY did Aubrey Davis lie about what he was doing out there?
WHY did he lie about the length of time they were AWOL?
WHY was Rumsfeld there at all?
WHY did Rumsfeld send his own bodyguard to retrieve Lloyde England?
WHY did the bodyguard have to supervise Lloyde England through the photo session?
HOW did Rumsfeld know that there was a damaged cab on the bridge?
HOW did he know that the taxi driver was wandering along the highway?
WHY did he want the taxi driver transported back to his cab on the bridge?
HOW did Aubrey Davis know to recognise Lloyde?
HOW could he possibly have connected one stranger among all the onlookers, with a taxi parked on a bridge about 350 yards distant from where they had
been working at Triage?
WHY would he have hustled this particular man up to the bridge?
WHY did he have to stay for the photos?
HOW did they know that Corporal Jason Ingersoll would be taking photos of Lloyde, his cab and the downed light pole on the bridge, between 9:48 a.m.
and 9:57 a.m.?
WHY did they need photos of Lloyde, his damaged cab and a downed lightpole on the bridge?
So Pilgrum, your comments,
"so all we have is a damaged cab that has no bearing on the event apart from maybe obstructing the roadway for emergency vehicle access. IE just
collateral damage ... Remove the cab from the equation completely and the Pentagon is still hit just the same isn't it? "
don't quite explain what actually occurred, as confirmed in numerous videos, photos, and personal testimonies of bodyguard Pentagon Police Officer
Aubrey Davis ( who was caught out in multiple LIES but was promoted for his participation),
and humble taxi driver and 9/11 victim Lloyde England, who was almost killed, and lost his means of earning his livelihood - but whose every detail
was confirmed in those same videos.
It is apparent that this 20-minute drama could not possibly have been a chance event. There had to be premeditation, planning, rehearsal, liaison with
the failing Capitol Cab company, choosing a target, surveillance of Lloyde England, military weaponry and personnel involved, decoy cab fares to
implant suggestions and have Lloyde in position at the right moment, roadblocks to prevent access to southbound Route 27 except for players while the
operation was carried out, and countless other details so things would run faultlessly.
