You've been ignoring me lately.
Any chance of getting you to respond to this post?

Craig, if you're so sure this is a small pile of rubble, where's that rebar sticking out from? Please explain this if you can.
I haven't read the entire thread yet but I just wanted to point out that what appears to be rebar looks too close together in my opinion. I could be wrong about the pentagon but a slab usually has the rebar at the bottom tension side. It could be close to a column (which needs rebar on the tension top side) but it still looks too closely bundled to me to look like rebar.
Disclaimer: I am not saying one way or another that I believe this or that about the pentagon. I haven't researched the pentagon as much as I should.

Why would you cite a video that is contradicted by the physical evidence (lack of foundation damage) and the FDR?
How do you determine which part of the contradictory story to accept and why?
I see from this thread that you believe the building 7 damage photo was faked.
Please answer these questions for the record:
1. Do you believe in controlled demolition of building 7 and/or the towers?
2. If so is it fair to suggest that they were rigged with explosives by "psyops crews"?
3. If so would you consider pre-fabricating the damage of the light poles by said "psyops crews" to be more or less believable?

Alien:
1) No-& straight down-- because the tail doesn't show any tail 1st impact - so it could not have hit tail first - and the Horizontal stabilizers don't show impact damage consitant with the jet hitting sideways...
Alien:
Look a the Helios crash - I see the dymanics as virtually the same! That is a big factor - it doesn't appear the Helios Airliner hit tail 1st..!

3) Why does the red ball of fire seem to go straight up and not blow sideways also? Was the flashpoint in the 757's wings so ready that it instantly exploded upwards...? Why not down and sideways - boiling jet fuel aflame all over the ground running down gutters every which way? No blast back charring the ground for hundreds of feet..? Watch the video of the recent China Airlines 737-800 landing and burnout and see how long it takes to get ignited..plenty of time to escape - why didn't it explode 'right away"..?
Alien
The jet should have crumpled - rapidly decelerated - fell to the ground on the tail side(much like the Helios crash did.)- and then burned -
Alien:
4) Why was there a hole in the C ring - opposite side - an Aluminum jet piercing that far through the building - strong enough for that - but not strong enough to show a little bit of tail after rapid deceleration into the building - d*mn strong noses on that 757.!!!

Did you consider that the landing gears are not made of flimsy aluminum? You realize that the hole was created by one of them, don't you? Sometimes, "unanswered" questions have long-since been addressed, legitimate questions or not.

No--I saw pictures of the '3rd ring' with a huge hole blasted out of it - with charred burn marks on it - not the first inside wall.....if one looks at that aerial photo of a few days after the fire was out, there is a huge hole in the '3rd inner ring' straight in line with the impact. I doubt the landing gear did that 3 rings in.
Why do you assume there must be a "scrap of jet" attached to the light poles?

To illustrate my point, and because there's something wrong with both the FDR and your foundation analysis. I can't put my finger on either, sure, but I only have so many fingers, dude.

The parts that aren't contradictory, because they line up.
I see from this thread that you believe the building 7 damage photo was faked.
Yeah, I thought there was a good case to make for that, but no one else agrees on either side, saying none are fake and the appearances are all in photo angles. So I'm probably wrong, I guess. Just a side-note, something bugging me since May. It's a damn weird illusion, anyway.
1. Do you believe in controlled demolition of building 7 and/or the towers?
No I don't believe in it, but it's entirely possible. Some clues for and against and I honestly don't know. 9/11 Blasphemy!
2. If so is it fair to suggest that they were rigged with explosives by "psyops crews"?
Certainly fair to suggest. More 'explosives' than pure psyops of course.
3. If so would you consider pre-fabricating the damage of the light poles by said "psyops crews" to be more or less believable?
Mmmm... less. By a bit. If the towers had to fall, it perhaps could not be left to chance - so the wiring, which luckily has remained under wraps. But at the Pgon, an RC or hijacked plane on the official path explains EVERYTHING except your eyewitnesses, hands down.

Duh! Sorry - that's one long bar, very long, with a small riveted scrap of metal hanging off of it. Sorta like what MoD was looking for with the light poles. Huh! This one is obviously plantable, of course. Probably not a big deal but interesting.
AND here's a thought on the undamaged foundation:
Water, mud, tiny debris, tire tracks... is it possible this stuff has filled in the scrapes, gouges and cracks here, and been wetted and flattened down to look like concrete? Would it not, to some extent, be fresh concrete itself? Yes, it's very possible.
This spot was scraped clean - which might have helped level the surface. This would not cover major damage, inches-wide gouges, etc. but again, this is just inside, where the bulk of the plane is said to have ented just above grade and with generally forward momentum, doing far more damage to the second floor slab above.
If you want to really make the case, Craig, dig around for virgin floor deeper in, where it would be grinding to a halt. find some shots looking right down at cleared but un-muddied concrete in the D or C rings and show us some smoothness there. This just doesn't cut it for me.

The only thing "wrong" with it is the fact that it points to a military deception which is ultimately proven by the eyewitnesses.
Deb Anlauf
Anlauf was watching TV coverage of the Trade Center burning shortly before 9:30 a.m. when she decided to return to her 14th-floor room from another part of the hotel. Once in her room, she heard a "loud roar" and looked out the window to see what was going on.
"Suddenly I saw this plane right outside my window," Anlauf said during a telephone interview from her hotel room this morning. "You felt like you could touch it; it was that close. It was just incredible. "Then it shot straight across from where we are and flew right into the Pentagon. It was just this huge fireball that crashed into the wall (of the Pentagon). When it hit, the whole hotel shook."

Because you don't just plow through light poles at 500 MPH and expect the wing panels to remain attached to the wing.
I'm asking what you basically consider dumb questions deliberately. I believe they call it playing "Devils Advocate". In terms of the flight path, the alternate theory put forward by CIT is much more plausible than the official stories, given the complete lack of any damage or debris to or on the lawn.
I'm still on the fence. To get to the truth however, you have to eliminate all possibilities. Instead of responding with your rhetoric, you'd do better to provide some counter-evidence that I can't pull apart (unlike the list of witnesses you cited earlier).
@seanm: Please, show me some hard evidence of your claims.
You're new to ATS. I don't know who you are or what you bring to the table, other than the fact you seem to be pro Official Story at this point and are looking for trouble.
. The plane then went behind the trees and the office building to the north of us, then a huge fire ball emerged behind them. She then quickly ran down stairs just as the fire alarm sounded.

I received 2 CDs , 1 with data and 1 with the animation of the flight path.

@CL: I hope that comment wasn't aimed at me. Both yourself and Craig provide some excellent arguments for your case. From my own examinations of the FDR data (considering it could be tampered with), either an over-flight occurred (FDR) or the official flight path is wrong (CIT, FDR) or both the FDR and CIT are wrong, and it hit the light poles and ploughed into the building (Official Story).
