9/28/01 ... manning the guard booth at the Mall Entrance to the building
"I saw the plane at the Navy Annex area," he said. "I knew it was going to strike the building because it was very, very low -- at the height of the street lights. It knocked a couple down." The plane would have been seconds from impact -- the annex is only a few hundred yards from the Pentagon. He said he heard the plane "power-up" just before it struck the Pentagon. "As soon as it struck the building I just called in an attack, because I knew it couldn't be accidental," Bright said. He jumped into his police cruiser and headed to the area.

9/12/01 ... "I heard two loud booms - one large, one smaller, and the shock wave threw me against the wall."
Omar Campo
9/12/01 ... cutting the grass on the other side of the road "It was a passenger plane. I think an American Airways plane," Mr Campo said. "I was cutting the grass and it came in screaming over my head. I felt the impact. The whole ground shook and the whole area was full of fire."

We are talking about one very simple and very general detail.
North or south of the gas station.
I fully agree that eyewitness accounts can be unreliable which is why independent corroboration is so important.
That is the scientific method used to validate specific details.
So the fact that all of the witnesses in this area, including you, unanimously corroborate each other regarding the north side approach is scientific proof that this detail is accurate.
Unfortunately for all of us this simple detail proves the plane did not hit the light poles, generator trailer, or the building.
This isn't my theory BigSarge, it is what you and all the other witnesses report.

How the hell, in the view of THOUSANDS of eyewitnesses can they "plant" big chunks of metal, light posts. ect, with no one seeing it? Everyone in the vicinity was out there gawking!

Since the suspect implicated by the north side approach evidence is the very entity in control of the Pentagon, the notion that they would pack a room or two full of plane parts and high explosives is entirely feasible.
...the part of the pentagon that was hit was not completely vacant for years, they still had some offices and personnel working in some places, around the renovation.

125 fatalities in the building, to be exact.

See, this is the one thing I dislike about how you are going about your investigation. Go re-read all of my posts. I never once verified anything of the sort. In fact, I said that if I had to guess that it would be somewhere between the Citgo and the Official Flight path. I also said, there is no way it was NORTH of the Citgo, because it was not that close to me.
It was dipping slightly left and right, it was not steady, so it may very well have been turning and/or not flying in a direct path.

In fact, based on some of Craig's posts the plane PROBABLY WAS north of the Annex. but again, from my vantage point, you could not see the actual Annex so it is hard to know for sure.

But I do agree with you in that, if it were flying the "official path" in relation to the annex, most likely I would not have been able to see it at all, just based on the lay of the ground I was on.

Could the parts of an entire airplane, tons of luggage, IDs, etc. been planted in the Pentagon before hand? I guess it is possible, but highly unlikely.
post source
No, I did not see the plane touch the Pentagon and never stated as such.

Ok, based on this quote from you, can you please explain what you think was shown on that video of something hitting the outer wall of the Pentagon and exploding?
Originally posted by BigSarge
Exactly. And IF it were a bomb inside, why was the blast hole of the outerwall INWARD and not OUTWARD? Wouldn't the bomb (with all of the thousands of pounds of plane parts that I personally helped remove from inside the Pentagon) have to explode pieces of that Pentagon wall out into the field along with those plane parts that were found outside?

So the plane missed and flew over the pentagon. Now what.

What you said, BigSarge, is this:
It was dipping slightly left and right, it was not steady, so it may very well have been turning and/or not flying in a direct path.
post source
That contradicts the required official flight path and corroborates the ANC employees who were right next to you but with an unobstructed view.
You also said:

Now that you are starting to understand the implications of this you have changed your story. That's ok, I don't hold it against you. It's a very natural reaction.
But you also said this:
But I do agree with you in that, if it were flying the "official path" in relation to the annex, most likely I would not have been able to see it at all, just based on the lay of the ground I was on.
post source
This is a key admission on your part that ultimately proves your account supports the north side approach even though you did not have a clear view.
You will eventually be forced to come to terms with the fact that there is ZERO room for error in the official flight path particularly when you factor in the light poles, which you must.
The fact is BigSarge.....the ONLY way you would have seen the aircraft is if it was on the north side approach as corroborated by all the ANC maintenance workers and all of the witnesses at the gas station who ALL had an unobstructed view and were therefore in an infinitely better position to judge the location of the plane in relation to the gas station.
I think you know and understand all this already and the fact that you are trying to twist your own words to fit more with the official story is indicative that you are not psychologically ready to deal with this obvious fact and are instead going through a very difficult stage of denial.
And for the record you also said this:
Could the parts of an entire airplane, tons of luggage, IDs, etc. been planted in the Pentagon before hand? I guess it is possible, but highly unlikely.
post source
But later changed your story to suggest it was "impossible".
And just so we don't lose track you also admitted this:
No, I did not see the plane touch the Pentagon and never stated as such.

Maybe, just maybe Sarge, you will be able to find out where the secret closets were that hid all the plane parts. Oh..and perhaps you will be able to find the invisible machinery that hauled the heavier parts around.
