Well it must be so invonvenient for you, to discover that the plane seen by ALL THE WITNESSES was flying on a trajectory which proves it could not possibly have hit those lightpoles, nor caused that directional damage in the Pentagon.
Bringing Closure to the 9/11 Pentagon Debate
www.foreignpolicyjournal.com...
These elements all confirm a flight path that is supported by eyewitness accounts, the radar data and the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) data, which was released by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). There are over 62 documented eyewitnesses who saw the plane impact. Fourteen (14) witnesses saw one or more of the light poles struck. Four witnesses saw the right engine/wing hit the generator-trailer, while one witness saw the left engine hit the low concrete wall and break apart. Multiple witnesses traced the passage of the plane as it flew from the Sheraton Hotel (last radar reading) to impact at the Pentagon. There were some initial problems reading the last frame of the FDR data, but the properly decoded FDR data traces the plane’s path all the way from take-off at Dulles Airport to impact at the Pentagon.

Further Analysis of Corroborating Physical Evidence: Several items of physical evidence can be further analyzed to see if they comport with a large plane hitting the Pentagon.
Clipped Tree: One witness described the plane as “picking off trees and light poles.” Photographs show that the starboard (right) engine of the plane did clip a tree. Jon Cole has shown experimentally that it is possible for the leading edge of an engine to cut the tree. Cole compared this action with similar-looking ragged branches cut with a heavy brush cutter with heavy, thick dull blades rotating at a lesser speed than the airplane that cut the woody branches of the Pentagon tree (See Figure 6). Branches ingested by the right engine can explain the smoke trail from the right engine from that point on, as seen in the security camera videos and in this simulation.
Downed Light Poles: Many witnesses saw the plane hit light poles. In all, five light poles were torn from their bases and broken into pieces. Pole pieces had considerable curvature as if hit by a blunt force at high speed, such as the moving wing of a plane. One pole piece pierced the windshield of a taxi driven by Lloyde England. The back seat of the taxi was pierced indicating how the pole piece was supported at that end and stuck out through the windshield. The separation and positions of the downed light poles indicate a plane wingspan of more than 100 feet, but less than 130 feet. The wingspan of a Boeing 757 is 124 feet 10 inches.
Rotated Generator-Trailer: Several witnesses saw the right plane engine and/or wing strike one end of a very heavy generator-trailer. The trailer was found to have rotated about the other end toward the building. In addition to the damaged end, there was a gash in the trailer top corresponding to the position of the first flap “canoe” beyond the right engine of a Boeing 757. The location and direction of the gash was consistent with the canoe’s position on the wing and the plane’s flight path.
Gouge in Low Concrete Wall: One witness saw the left engine hit a low concrete wall and break apart. The wall shows a curved gouge consistent with impact by an engine. The distance between the wall and the struck end of the generator-trailer is approximately 43 feet, matching the engines’ separation of a Boeing 757 of 42.5 feet. When the left engine hit the wall it was a few inches above ground level at that point. The wall sits on a high point, and this explains why the engine did not gouge the surrounding lawn as it traveled over the lawn. Some nearby, upright wooden spools were not struck as they were positioned between the plane fuselage and the low-slung left engine.
Debris by the Heliport Area: There was a noticeable amount of plane debris, mostly small pieces, at the Heliport area north of the impact hole. This is in accord with the plane’s path which made a 52-degree angle with the Pentagon west wall as it approached from the southwest. This distribution of debris is entirely to be expected since, after fragmentation, debris that remained outside the building would have a significant velocity component causing it to travel in a northerly direction.
The Impact Hole and Façade Damage: Many claims have been made that the impact hole was too small for a plane the size of a Boeing 757 to have entered the building. None of these claims have merit. The fuselage of a Boeing 757 is 12.33 feet wide and 13.5 feet high and the corresponding hole was about 18 feet wide. Early photographs were obscured by spray from fire hoses and hid a long gash of about 96 feet in the first floor façade. There were many missing outer support columns. Thus the plane’s fuselage, both engines, and the heavier, inner parts of the wings had sufficient room to penetrate the building.
According to witnesses and the FDR data, the plane had rolled about 5 degrees counterclockwise when it hit the wall. Façade markings, such as a long gash made by a wing, confirm these observations. Critics frequently point to the absence of a clear vertical gash that they contend should have been made by the vertical portion of the tail. There are, as shown by Jim Hoffman, markings in the area where the tail might have hit. It is possible that the tail was blown off and fragmented, and did not reach the wall intact. One witness described seeing the fuel explosion while the tail was still visible. Many witnesses saw the tail, and this criticism cannot overturn the other evidence of plane approach and impact.
I stand by my statement that Lloyde England never lied.
In the interview with Hill, England volunteers the size of the pole that he says entered his cab:
England: “I think the pole was about 40 foot long.”

Probst, Frank
Frank Probst . . . [a] Pentagon renovation worker and retired Army officer, . . . stopped by the renovation workers' trailer just south of the Pentagon heliport. . . .
Probst took a sidewalk alongside Route 27, which runs near the Pentagon's western face. . . .
"He has lights off, wheels up, nose down," Probst recalled. The plane seemed to be accelerating directly toward him. He froze.
"I knew I was dead," he said later. "The only thing I thought was, `Damn, my wife has to go to another funeral, and I'm not going to see my two boys again.'."
He dove to his right. He recalls the engine passing on one side of him, about six feet away.
The plane's right wing went through a generator trailer "like butter," Probst said. The starboard engine hit a low cement wall and blew apart. . . .
He still can't remember the sound of the explosion. . . .
"It was pretty horrible," he said of the noiseless images he carries inside him, of the jet vanishing in a cloud of smoke and dust, and bits of metal and concrete drifting down like confetti.
On either side of him, three streetlights had been sheared in half by the airliner's wings at 12 to 15 feet above the ground. An engine had clipped the antenna off a Jeep Grand Cherokee stalled in traffic not far away.
"Fortress Reborn," by Vince Crawley, Military.com, 9/11/02
. . . I dove towards the ground and watched this great big engine from this beautiful airplane just vaporize . . . It looked like a huge fireball, pieces were flying out everywhere."

I can't identify if that's Rumsfield. Can you add video or captures of Rumsfield without his coat on? You providing time stamps- with no video.
Your flick links don't show up anything- you may need to upload again.
Lloyd does believe the light pol broke through the window and got wedged in the back seat. In the shot on the bridge you can view two pieces one large pole and another portion of a light pol on the opposite of the cab. Clearly that shorter piece is what impacted the window? There no conspiracy then. People just assumed he was talking about larger pole and maintained that's absurd?
Clearly the plane just knocked down a large light pol and the smaller piece just came through the window when he approached the bridge?
There no evidence someone fired a pole through the cab window when he approached.
I know the Flickr links didn't work. They should have, and i went to a lot of trouble to try to include them to make sense of all this, but somehow this site messes them up. But you re welcome to go to my FLICKR album and view images there.
You are correct that there is no evidence that someone fired a pole through Lloyde England's windshield as he approached the bridge.
That is because he did not approach the bridge.
The circumstantial evidence that he approached the bridge, is those photos of him and his cab next to a lightpole on the bridge.
But he was not there when the pole hit.
Now there are several videos showing what really happened.
As Lloyde always said, he was not on the bridge when it happened. He was beside the cemetery.
The videos which prove this to be true after 18 years, are the proof that someone MUST HAVE fired a pole through his windshield.
There are no lightpoles downed near the cemetery (although there is a lamp lying on the grass near the Columbia Pike exit road).
The logistics of a lightpole being hit by a plane wing, then travelling under the plane, up the highway, and hitting a moving vehicle about 100 yards north, which then stopped and left this pole lying right at its own footprint, are just too absurd for consideration anyway.
Lloyde said he did not know where the pole came from; he never saw it coming.
He was driving along by the cemetery, about 50 metres north of the Columbia Pike exit sign.
But the plane flew across the highway right there in front of him.
Therefore the plane was about 300 yards north of the bridge. It was nowhere near those lightpoles.
It was nowhere near any lightpoles. Sure, the plane was low. But not that low. The poles were downed to convince people the plane flew so low, its wings just 30 feet above the ground.
But numerous witnesses claimed it was much higher than that, about 50, 70, 80 feet high, even 75 yards above the road.
Since the plane flew on the Northside flight path, just south of the tree-topped cemetery bank, without hitting anything there, it must have been much higher than the lightpoles. It must have been high enough to sail right over the building.
There is the testimony of Citgo gas station employee Robert Turcios, who said,
"The plane LIFTED UP a llittle bit to get over the exit sign".
And there is the testimony of ANC worker Darius Prather, who said that as the plane flew avross the exit road, it BANKED RIGHT, and it "started PIVOTING UP".
There was the reported testimony of ANC employees, told to their colleague ERIK DIEHLE, that "A bomb exploded and a plane kept on going".
In his phone interview with Jeff Hill in 2011, Lloyde England repeated what he had been told by others. Since he never saw the pole coming himself, this must have been the line that was fed to him.
He said that the plane hit a lightpole, and cut off the top part of it which got hung up on a wing, and then dropped through his windshield as it flew over his car.
Well, consult a map of Lloyde's location beside the cemetery.
If the pole dropped off the plane wing, then the plane must have been fling right over the cemetery, for its wing to have been above Lloyde's cab and dropped the pole onto it.
That means the plane would have been even further north, and much higher.
In that case, which pole was high enough for the plane to have hit it?
Where was the rest of the pole which was, as Lloyde insisted, "NOT CUT OFF", but still standing up in the ground?
That is what is impossible, any variation of the story that was given to Lloyde.
Lloyde's story is perfectly possible though, given the multi-trillion dollar budget and star wars capabilities of the building beside which he was driving when a 12 foot pole speared through his window.
The lamp support arms of lightpoles cannot be what hit Lloyde's cab, because they are of different dimensions and flattened in cross-section, to the pole on the road behind Lloyde's cab.
That fact alone proves prefabrication of this pole, in a premeditated plot to target this particular taxi driver for the purpose of deceiving the world into believing that a plane flew on a particular trajectory, low enough to create the diagonal damage path inside the Pentagon.
Lloyde was not near the bridge when his cab was hit by a pole.
Therefore the pole that hit his cab, was not any part of any lightpole.
I did give the link to the video which shows Rumsfeld (and also Lloyde's cab and the towtruck beside the cemetery wall),. You need to watch that and check the timestamps I gave.
It is true that the smaller pole shown on the bridge behind the cab, is the one that went through the cab.
Lloyde himself pointed this out on the video "LLOYDE ENGLAND AND HIS TAXICAB - THE EYE OF THE STORM".
But if he was on the bridge when this happened, then why would he have pulled that pole out of the windshield, and carted it all the way around to the back of the cab, to leave it far from his cab there in the middle of the road?
None of the official explanations makes sense.
Only Lloyde's own story rings true, and the videos prove he was telling the truth.

I looked at the evidence. Ruby sees a new theory and examining it but I am not here to belittle his point of view though. But still, it needs to be said Ruby can watch the video Lloyd definitely revealed a guy took photographs of the light pole removed from the cab. How can there be two distinct related incidents?

And what does that have to do with the actual damage to pentagon, the other inconvenient witnessed flight path damage, the north flight path witnesses that attest to a jet hitting the pentagon, there are no witnesses from the pentagon that saw a jet miss and fly off, flight 77 crashed at the pentagon, and the crew and passengers of flight 77 did not return home. With the coroner documenting their remains ending up at the pentagon. And those remains were released to next of kin.
Don’t you get what con “conspiracists” play. They don’t want to debate what actually caused the deaths to those aboard flight 77, the actual deaths at the pentagon, and the actual pentagon damage. They want to create a mythology off a single light pole. Is a single light pole part of the flight path. Yes. But there are four other light poles, damage to a concrete wall, damage to vegetation, damage to a trailer. Which in all reality has noting to do with the actual pentagon damage, who’s physical profile fits a jet crash. With a bomb or missile having no credibility in explaining what was witnessed, no credibility explaining the manner in which people died, and no credibility in explaining the actual pentagon damage.
That’s why a gurney is more important to Ruby than the actual jet wreckage wrapped around damaged columns in the pentagon.
What do you understand that Ruby is pushing a no jet fantasy. As in no flight 77. And Ruby is in flat out in denial that people attest to a large jet hitting the pentagon. And that CIT failed because there is physical damage to support the official flight path, there is no explanation for the people that attest to a passenger jet hitting poles before crashing into the pentagon with the north flight path witnesses, the north flight path witnesses attest to a jet hitting the pentagon, and there are no witnesses claiming a jet missed and flew off. Ruby wants to discredit those 14 Individuals that attest to a jet knocking down poles, but wants to push the flyover fantasy that is not supported by a single witness and is totally void of physical evidence. The CIT theory of flyover failed because it had no merits. Ruby is pushing a meritless fantasy.

None of those backboard had straps.
Clearly you have not bothered to watch that video.
NOBODY WAS "WRITHING IN PAIN"!!!!!!

I viewed the interview last night.
Lloyd even told CIT people there was a male up on the bridge who captured pictures of the light pole that he took out from the cab.
That right there rules out a light pole hitting his taxicab at the cemetery.
Your Donald Rumsfeld is really Australian Prime minister John Howard Disguised as Donald Rumsfeld.
None of that adds up to the cab being relocated for whatever imaginary nefarious purpose though or even the cab, all pieces of pole, broken glass and road damage being moved while we're at it.

At 10:15 in your video Your Donald Rumsfeld is standing here with a backboard.
12 seconds later at 10:27 my Donald Rumsfeld would be here walking with his security team. I can tell by matching up what is happening in the background.
I suggest that some conscious-altering substance or technology was applied as this officer was pushing Lloyde to the ground.

Hi Ruby. Your participation here is appreciated, and you are doing a fine job of not getting banned ! LoL !
Have seen a few get banned here in these 911 threads.
Don't let them get under your skin.

Where does this come from ?
Creating some kind of 'fog', around false-flag staged events ?
Do you have any examples of where these sorts of things may have otherwise been deployed ?
