It'll take some time but we'll certainly get back to you.
Give me a break dude.
well, its a headquarters building anyway
This is the PENTAGON. The most secretive, richest, techonologically advanced defense agency on earth.
They probably used all kinds of stuff including napalm which is made of jet fuel.
"Powder monkeys" can do just about anything with explosives.
You guys keep wanting me to speculate about stuff while IGNORING the evidence which is the testimony.
Do you really believe that all 4 witnesses were so insanely incorrect about their placement of the plane?

I'll address this to Jack, but anyone with a decent explanation feel free to chime in:
Why do you think "they" decided to do it this way?
Surely it would have been much simpler, taken up fewer resources, and had a much smaller chance of being exposed if the planners of this false flag event simply "reassigned" a couple security guards and had a "terrorist" kamikaze a Ryder truck full of explosives into the side of the Pentagon.
What is your explanation for this operational choice? What was accomplished that couldn't have been accomplished with a simple truck bomb?

well, i think the MOST obvious answer to that is that its easier to fly (appear to fly?) over the top of security than try to drive through it.

Most people were fooled but certainly some were planted witnesses and some accounts were completely fabricated.

I'm just having a hard time believing that anyone in the intelligence community would have such a public and sensitive operation hinge entirely on someone's ability to control a commercial aircraft going 400 mph at an altitude of 30 feet.

Damocles,
Yes we speculated the flyover hypothesis and we specified this was a hypothesis in the film.
But this is secondary to the testimony.
Do you believe the testimony?
If not why?

Too many people found out about the unexploded charges still remaining in the Murrah building. It was all they could so to keep the lid on that.
So when they decided to go with the airliners, probably the thought was, "we can get everybody to believe this because they will see it happen right in front of their eyes".
You cannot truly understand 911 if you don't understand the complete contempt, arrogance and disdain with which the perps held the American public.

Personally I think that key people, either 'in the know' or ones able to 'figure it out' were killed by the attack on the pentagon.

…it makes sense to me that they would want as much control as possible over the damage to their own home.
So....do you believe the north of the citgo testimony? If not why?

nybaseball44 please let me respectfully suggest that you take a deep breath and exhale slowly. I don't think there is any point going into convulsions over this issue.
I believe all of Jack's witnesses saw a large plane, probably a Boeing 757 but no Boeing 757 ever hit the Pentagon ever. There is no damage where the wings would have hit and there is not a big enough hole for the plane to have crashed through.
We have the problem that the Pentagon clocks show the first explosion at 0931. That was about 2.6 seconds after the Citgo flyover. But both the ATC records and the time stamp on the Flight Data Recorder read 0937. So that means whatever ATC was tracking on radar didn't hit the Pentagon until 6 minutes after the Citgo flyover.
Whatever flew over the Citgo gas station was not what ATC was tracking; either it flew over the Pentagon and went somewhere else or it was a holograph. With the technology available today (at least 50 years ahead of where anyone in the public sector knows about according the to the late Ben Rich, head of Lockheed Skunkworks) it would be no problem projecting an image complete with sound and other effects. The concept of such a holograph is impossible for todays public brain filled with modern science to imagine. It can't conceive of anything that technologically advanced.
But if we can temporarily suspend our preconceived notions of what is scientifically possible and consider the possibility of a holograph then we have a solution for what the wtinesses saw. Hope you're feeling better.

We have the flyover at 9:31? I didn't know that. I can buy two explosions. smell of cordite doesn't dismiss add'l smell of jet fuel left unmentioned in those accounts... And don't forget April Gallop's wristatch stopping at about 9:31. Did the bomb blast hit her arm?

In the end…deep down…I guess I don’t. And I’m not just trying to be contrary, Jack. You’ve dismissed many witnesses as “possible plants”, and I think that the same label should be applied to your own.
If indeed there is a congregation of “insiders” who orchestrated the Pentagon attack, then confusion is their greatest ally at this point in the game. Getting a researcher to focus all his ample efforts on the “flight paths” as compared to the damage to the building or the motive of the alleged conspirators seems like a worthwhile and low-resource effort on the part of “them.”

cordite is used as a propellant for bullets, not as a component of high explosives as far as i know. [...] so the quote from that guy that was certain there was a bomb cuz he smelled cordite...all i can say is its likely he was mistaken. im personally not aware of any HE that uses cordite.

I was gonna say that too. So it's okay to dimsiss some witnesses as plants but your four are magically immune. the reason I suspected a disinfo campaign is how else to explain four semi-corroborating accounts that conflict with everything else? You want me to go through the list of people who saw THE plane to the south, clip the poles, hit the generator and vent structure, etc. and list their creds and challenge you to call them liars? I could probably find more than four...

Name one witness I have dismissed as a plant besides Lloyd.
Either he is deducing the impact or he is lying.
