And they have been proven beyond any resonable doubt they are 757 parts.
the physical evidence for anything other than AA 77 is non existent. The entire "no 757 theory" is based on hearsay, speculation, extrapolation, and no small amount of simple misinformed opinion. At least we 757 believers have a few snapshots.

I think everyone is forgetting this 2 Star Army General who spent his life observing footage like this every day, then was in charge of the entire program himself.
What did he say about the 757 and the Pentagon? See the Vid.

I know...I know...too few parts (opinion and speculation). I also conceed thet its theoretically possible they were planted or secretly brought in. Other forms of "non physical evidence" cited by "no 757 beleivers" Hole is too small.....(speculation), no burnt grass (speculation). Other aircraft seen (hearsay - no pics in air or in pieces) You get my point.
You're absolutely correct when you say nothing can be proved or disproved based on eyewitness accounts. You're also correct that the availabe physical evidence for a 757 is weak. However, the physical evidence for anything other than AA 77 is non existent. The entire "no 757 theory" is based on hearsay, speculation, extrapolation, and no small amount of simple misinformed opinion. At least we 757 believers have a few snapshots.

Couple of points.
1. Why didn't the fire department use AFFF foam instead of water. Water just makes a fuel fire worse.
2. Nose cone on this aircraft is reinforced fiberglass. How did it make it through this much concrete, to punch a perfectly round hole.
I think this is what was flown into the WTC and Pentagon.
Remote controlled flying bomb made to look like a plane. Possibly some sort of cloak, hence the weird shadow. Looks very similar to the plane that was flown into tower two.
Originally posted by ULTIMA1So where are the FBI and NTSB reports that match the numbers to the parts found at the Pentagon to Flight 77 ? Please show reports to support your theory.
I realize other aircraft use Rolls Royce RB-211 engines, and possiblly the same wheels as 757's, however I can state with certainty that none of the aircraft the "no 757" crowd crows about (Tomahawk cruise missile, global hawk, A3, F-16, C-130) utilize the engine and wheel rims found and photographed amongst the Pentagon wreckage.
I cannot show any proof the parts photographed at the pentagon come from AA 77, but they seem to come from a 757. Are you suggesting they come from another 757 or another type of aircraft? If another type...which?

In regards to 'our' (no 757) crowd 'crowing' about Tomahawk cruise missile, Global Hawk, A-3, F-16, C-130, I think we can be reasonably certain that the same people who photographed the 'alleged' RB-211 engine parts would be smart enough to avoid taking pictures of the tomahawk cruise missile, Global Hawk, A-3, F-16, C-130 parts laying around inside the Pentagon.
Of course, you have no obligation to post you current or previous employment or education. I only asked because it might give us a clue as to why you are here in the sole capacity of supporting the government hoax of a Pentagon Boeing 757 hit. Your argument has been reduced to "thats my story and I'm sticking to it" (that is YOUR quote by the way). You might as well have gone on to say, "Don't confuse me with the facts."

Well do you need a list of planes that use the same type of wheels as a 757, but its hard to tell which plane due to the fact we have no report of the size of the wheel found.

Cool! I'd love to see some possibilities narrowed down - True enuff on exact size, we can only guess at that. here's the rim found:
"JAMIE MCINTYRE: From my close-up inspection, there's no evidence of a
plane having crashed anywhere near the Pentagon.
"The only site, is the actual side of the building that's crashed in.
And as I said, the only pieces left that you can see are small enough
that you pick up in your hand. There are no large tail sections, wing
sections, fuselage, nothing like that anywhere around which would
indicate that the entire plane crashed into the side of the Pentagon
and then caused the side to collapse.
"Even though if you look at the pictures of the Pentagon you see that
the floors have all collapsed, that didn't happenm immediately. It
wasn't until almost about 45 minutes later that the structure was
weakened enough that all of the floors collapsed."
If there was some plot to fabricate testimony about a 757 crash where there was none, then how is it that a top CNN reporter wound up not following the "script"??? There's no logic here. There's no way you can argue that various civilians & low-ranking pentagon folks who were already being interviewed and giving testimony to both local and national news crews about seeing the 757 were in on the plot and being coached, while a top CNN talking head somehow missed his "marching orders".
In fact, there's no revelations here, nothing new -- McIntyre's spontaneous observations about the scene at the Pentagon are actually very consistent with the testimony of a number of witnesses who said they saw the 757 impact. Namely, how the plane disintegrated into the building upon impact, how the wreckage was pulverized into small pieces (which has happened to planes in other documented cases, such as the sandia labs test crash of an F-4 fighter that is referenced by Jim Hoffman and others), and how some of them were surprised by the counterintuitive lack of big debris outside. Many of them were very specific and emphatic about this, and it's not surprising that someone who saw the scene afterwards could have impressions like McIntyre's. We've all already had the same impression from looking at various post-crash photos anyway.
