Nearly five years after the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, an eyewitness from the Pentagon has come forth with testimony, which, if accurate, debunks the official version that a hijacked Boeing 757 flew into the five-sided military fortress housing the Department of Defense.
Samuel D. Danner, a civilian pilot and electrical engineer from Hagerstown, Md, says he was try to get out of Washington on the morning of 9-11 after hearing of the attacks on the World Trade Center. Having made a wrong turn, Danner wound up heading south on Washington Blvd, the highway that passes the western side of the Pentagon, from where he says he observed the approaching aircraft involved in the attack.
Danner, who estimates that he was less than 500 feet from the path of this aircraft, noted that it was very quiet: "There wasn't the roar noise that you get with a jet at full throttle. This thing knew how to fly quietly--I mean I could hear the whine and I knew it was jet powered." Danner's description of the aircraft's small size is confirmed by early eyewitness reports. One witness, Steve Riskus, has previously confirmed to AFP that the plane was very quiet.
"There was a four-engine jet above us," Danner said, which looked to him like a Boeing 707 or a DC-8 at about 15,000. feet. He said this plane may have been controlling the windowless drone, which struck the Pentagon, by "flying it by camera." Danner noticed that people at the Pentagon were aware of this plane over head.
Danner said he had contacted some of the people he met on th lawn of the Pentagon to encourage them to come forward with their testimony.
Danner says the aircraft flew with remarkable precision as it leveled off and went right into the southwestern facade of the Pentagon. The impact created a "brilliant white flash" that he described as "a phosphorous kind of flash. "This suggest the UAV carried explosives or a depleted uranium (DU) missile. If a DU missile was used, this could explain the source of Danner's lymphoma. If he was contaminated by DU at the Pentagon crash sit, the other people in the proximity would also have been affected.

From the supposed crew, all the way up to the airlines, and personel. It really is very hard to digest the amount of people that had to be involved

Ya know, this guy would probably have alot more credibility in my mind, if he, oh I don't know, didn't wait 5 freaking years to bring this point up! It'd be the equivalent of a witness coming forward 5 years after the O.J. trial, gee thanks pal, that's helpful. I mean come on, ovbiously this guy didn't have too big of an ethical issue with the Pentagon attack not for half a decade anyway, but now he does? I suppose I'd be a neo-con if I questioned his motives.

YOU ARE CORRECT!
This is proof of, nothing more than capitalism! After watching LC, his civic and patriotic duty brought him forward?? It was where for five years.? As far as witnesses go, there are lots of posts here, that show people not in the commission. All saw a plane, but a couple, the rest are daft in your research? No CTist cherry pick the evidence. Pleeease! He saw the $$, and got a concience! Credible ......whew...gotta give ya that! Sarcasm off! Happy Hunting!

i've been here a year and have been very hesitant to comment on this subject because of a combination of the high emotions and close minded comments from individuals on both sides of the argument. however, after reading this particular thread i have two comments:
1. i know for a fact that a commercial airliner hit the pentagon. i know an individual who, as far as i am concerned, is impeachable. he was there and saw the whole thing.....cant prove it (and i know i will never be able to convince any of you), but as i said, i'm convinced.

Thought you had me on ignore? Just can't stay away, hunh? Ok, if it isn't seeing Dylan and crew cash in,why now? All the great out of context simili, and flat out lies in LC? Made his concience scream ? Doubt it!I know quite a bit about human nature. IMHO! Happy Hunting! Soo enjoy the article!

what are the chances that ONE engine from a 4 engine plane would survive?

I agreed with you until this point. Why the animosity? Isn't it better to question than to just accept? Can you give more details where, when and what your "friend" saw? Thanks.
