But he states the plane did not go all the way into the Pentagon, only the nose section and to the wings, then the fireball came out of the builidng and destroyed the tail section.

Thanks for the post ULTIMA1. First, what caused a fireball to come out in the opposite direction that the alleged airplane was headed? Second there is no fireball, fueled only by jet fuel, that could annihilate a vertical and horizontal tail of a Boeing 757.

Originally posted by Boone 870 I would guess the same thing that caused the fireballs to come out in the opposite direction of impact at World Trade Center 1 and World Trade Center 2.

The fireballs at the World Trade Center still came out of the buildings in the opposite direction of the impact. You can't deny that. Why would you expect it to be any different at the Pentagon?

Can you post a link for the external quote? I'm having a hard time finding it.
Sepulveda said the wings disintegrated, and then disappeared. "For a brief second, you could see the fuselage sticking out of the side of the Pentagon," Sepulveda recalls. "Then, all of a sudden, this ball of fire comes out from inside. It looked like it was just coming from inside the building, engulfing the fuselage. And then the fuselage was all gone."
"Then he dropped his landing gear and started coming down even faster and lower.
"Then the right wheel hit a light pole and the plane popped into a 45-degree angle. The pilot tried to recover -- go back vertical - but he hit some more light poles.

Holy mackerel cakes! I really don't know what to think of that guys testimony. He was all over the place!
So maybe now you can see why i do not take much credit in the witnesses that flight 77 hit the Pentagon.
Some interesting things.
1. Why would the pilot drop the landing gear at that speed and height? (plus i might have to ask john lear if the computer warning system would let you drop the gear at that speed)
2. Doesn't it sound like the pilot has either lost control of the plane or maybe never had control of the plane?

To answer your second question, yes, it does sound like the aircraft was out of control.

There would have been plenty of time for other people to be able to see the landing gear come down. It probably takes the landing gear on a 757 four to five seconds to cycle down, so it's not like it happened in the last couple of hundred feet.

That's kind of what I'm saying. If the landing gear were down, other people would have seen them down well before they hit the light poles.
