Are you positive? How can you be sure you will get them? Keeping my fingers crossed here...
Yeah, how sure are you just because they gave us these two POS videos? I'm of the opinion that they'll drag their feet even more some how and we won't see anything substainsial from this point on, this would have been the time to show us the plane and they don't show crap.

Trust me, the standard went through the roof because of incidents like Oklahoma City and everyone has had to upgrade substantially. If the buildings in a non-critical region are subject to the stardard using the hi-res stuff since the late 90's, the Pentagon has been using much better.
That this is the best video they have. It isn't.
Right. The same bureaucratic excuses for everything. So when the Chinese or Russians or Iranians or Canadians finally get fed up and attack, they'll be able to take the country at their whim, because... there's too much red tape, we're all just too confused, and the defenses are not designed for what ever attack is coming.
Date: 9/14/01
Time: unknown
Photographer: US Department of Defense - Tech. Sgt. Cedric H. Rudisill
DESCRIPTION: Guard shack where the CCTV images were captured from. They must rely on that camera to cover that general area since I don't see any on the wall.
KEY NOTES: Just in case anybody was thinking that there were no other cameras I've added the following photo of the "SW Corner" of the Pentagon. It was taken by the same photographer on the same day. The flag is the one placed on 9/12/01 just to the right of the impact area. At least two of those cameras are facing the whole incident face on. Not to mention the one that was destroyed almost directly above the impact. Where is that footage?

Again, given such already linked photographic evidence, there was NO Su-27 or similar aircraft involved, there was no Global Hawk involved, there was no cruise missile involved, and there was no other craft involved other than a 757, period.
Review the facts:
Size of 757 matches the initial size of hole in the building - somewhere between 13 and 16 feet (757 is 13 feet wide/high)
ME: Sorry, not a fact, thats an observation pal.
Rims found in building match those of a 757
Small turbine engine outside is an APU
ME: HOLY FRICKEN MOLY! Did we not just argue about this and your link ( Pentagon & Boeing 757 Engine Investigation ) said it was NOT from an APU of a 757 !! Now you post a fact that it is an APU.Which is it man.Make up your mind will ya!
Same engine has been clearly stated to not match a Global Hawk engine
Blue seats from 757 laying on ground in photos
ME: Couldnt be from say, any other type of plane? Only the Boeing 757 has blue seats?
Part of "American" fuselage logo visible in more than 1 photo
ME: Fact? So that little piece of 'lettering' could not be from anything else? Or is this just an assumption since it is said it was an American Airlines jet that crashed into the Pentagon?
Engine parts photographed inside match a Rolls-Royce RB211
ME: Now we have an engine? Maybe I missed that image? Link please?
Structural components photographed in wreckage match Boeing paint primer schemes
ME: Can you link to this image please so I know what image it is before I tear this fact up.
Large deisel generator in front of building hit by a large heavy object
How does this in any way prove a 757 hit the Pentagon? Well I guess that settles it! I got another fact that might just help backup the official story... The grass in front of the Pentagon is green!!
This fact is rubish.
Large deisel engine outside is spun towards the building - could not be result of bomb blast or missile explosion
ME: And it is a fact that ONLY a 757 could do this?
Multiple eye witnesses say they saw an airliner
ME: Multiple eye witnesses say they saw a small passenger jet
Multiple eye witnesses say they saw an airliner hit the Pentagon
ME: First reports came out having witnesses say they saw a helicopter hitting the Pentagon
60+ bodies, matching the passenger list and flight crew roster identified and returned to families from Pentagon wreckage
ME: Government hearsay.Can you please link to any article stating from a family member who recieved the remains? As I remember, one family member, Frank Calley, lost his wife and only got back her wedding ring and driver's license in perfect condition no less, but no remains.I also remember, I will have to find it, one family member never got any remains or evidence back after asking if they could have their own autopsy performed.

I don't give a damn what NIST thinks, you can look up the measurements yourself, the tail height (bottom of wheels down to tip of tail) is 44' 6" and the Pentagon is 77' 3.5".
en.wikipedia.org...
www.757.org.uk...
See for youself, you all say NIST is inaccurate when it suits you and the independant figures clearly show the difference in height between the two objects.
There's nearly 33' difference between the two for God's sake and that includes the wheels so technically it could clear the ground and still have 33' to spare.
That NIST/FEMA picture shows another 757 from The Land of the Giants because it's as tall as the building.

Well, I had another look at the NIST photo and it seems to back up what I was showing anyway, if you have the tail next to the impact point it's size will be directly proportional to the height of the building as I showed in my image.

I think we agree that my image was not grossly inaccurate then? Because I got the niggling feeling some people were trying to imply I was attempting to deceive people... Maybe I'm just being paranoid.
