Key thing is the overwhelming general concensus that they observed a passenger jet at low altitude and high speed impact the Pentagon's west side. Not a single observation of a jet clearing the building unless you can point out those flyover witnesses for me.
Biggert, Judy
Members of Congress have been shuttled to the site to inspect the damage.
Rep. Judy Biggert (R-Ill.) made the trip on Thursday. She saw remnants of the airplane. 'There was a seat from a plane, there was part of the tail and then there was a part of green metal, I could not tell what it was, a part of the outside of the plane,' she said. 'It smelled like it was still burning.'
Birdwell, Brian
LTC Brian Birdwell. He was just heading back down the hall to his office when the building exploded in front of him. The flash fire was immediate and the smoke was thick. The blast had thrown him down, giving him a concussion. He wanted to head down the hall toward the A ring...but because he couldn't see anything he had no idea which way to go and he didn't want to head in the wrong direction. (...) Once they stabilized Brian, they transferred him to George Washington Hospital where...the best, cutting edge burn doctor in the U.S. The doctor told him that had he not gone to Georgetown first, he probably would not have survived because of the jet fuel in his lungs.

Birdwell, Brian
Down the hall from Yates, Lt. Col. Brian Birdwell, 40, had been at his desk in Room 2E486 since 6:30 a.m. (...) Birdwell walked out to the men's room in corridor 4, a move that saved his life. He had just taken three or four steps out of the bathroom when the building was rocked. "Bomb!" the Gulf War vet immediately thought as he was knocked down. When he stood up, he realized he was on fire. "Jesus, I'm coming to see you"

For those more conspiracy minded. You might want to take notice that these guys have accused some top 9/11 truth movement advocates as operatives. Notice how the only people who they slander are all civilians with no ties to the Pentagon, while those associated with the Pentagon are "helping" with their "theory"?
If you ignore their spin and just listen to the witnesses, they pretty well prove the "official story" true in regards to what hit the Pentagon. And if you notice how they treat the civilian witnesses, they also proved that if a "truther" comes at you with a camera or microphone you should run in the opposite direction.
[...]
Ranke tends to lie...
Meet South Side witness M Walter
www.dailymotion.com...
They met him at his own home where he fed them. Isn't he horrible? He decided to not go on camera when he caught Ranke secretly recording him and knew they were no good. He's smarter than they are....
"The two said they were helping Avery and Pickering with research for their film. Walter chatted casually with the pair, and at one point, he realized that Ranke was surreptitiously tape-recording the conversation."
Although Pickering and Avery seemed relatively normal, Ranke and Marquis appeared to be on a mission to prove that the Pentagon plane crash never happened. They wouldn't listen to anything that contradicted this notion."
"Marquis and Ranke simply refused to believe Walter saw what he saw. "They were saying things like, 'Are you sure the plane didn't land [at Reagan airport] and they set off a bomb?' They kept coming up with all these scenarios."
"Some of those guys [at the party] were young and nice and disaffected [about] their government," Walter concludes. "And some of them were crazy."

"Mike Walter is the only one who has proof he was there at all and he was probably in south parking lot waiting for the event to go down before he ran over to the scene to play "witness" for the news cameras."- CIT take on Walter

Not outrageous enough for ya?
Meet South side witness Father McGraw
CIT will deny he is a S Side witness....but listen to his testimony...
video.google.com...
It's clear he is. After hearing his story, can you seriously believe he was "fooled" and the plane flew over?
I would like to remind you this is a man of honour who gave up a career as an attorney to use his life in a spiritual way.
He gave aid and comfort to those dead and injured, like he is supposed to do as a priest, instead of saying "get out of my way, I have an appointment!" Originally, he was on his way to a funeral.
"We know for a fact that funerals continued at ANC throughout the morning and afternoon so the notion that he simply abandoned his responsibility to some veteran's family to fraternize with the first responders and loiter around the attack scene etc is unconscionable. -CIT take on McGraw
www.abovetopsecret.com...
That's some outlandish and ridiculous slander. Simply outrageous.
"AND.....McGraw claims he was late to preside over a funeral at Arlington Cemetery. Why would he get out of his car at all with such an important commitment? We know for a fact that funerals continued as scheduled at ANC.
What happened to the poor family that was waiting for him as he hung around the Pentagon?
McGraw has admitted to having a connection to the controversial fundamentalist catholic secret society Opus Dei.
This is notable because of the political intrigue surrounding this catholic cult. It is well known to be favored by the "Washington elite" as reported in the History Channel special "The Spy Next Door: Robert Hanssen".
Robert Hanssen is a convicted traitor who was an FBI employee that sold secrets to the Russians for years. He was a good friends and parish members with former head of the FBI Louis Freeh who is said to have been instrumental in the Oklahoma City bombing cover-up. Both were devout members of Opus Dei but Hanssen was exposed as a sexual deviant who had extra marital affairs with strippers and secretely video taped sex with his wife while his friend would watch from a monitor set up in their spare room in the basement." --CIT take on Father

Why aren't you disgusted with this slander of innocent people who did nothing but make the mistake of talking to "truthers" and who ruin their fake "flyover" con?
Meet South Side witness Keith Wheelhouse...
video.google.com...
freeze frame at 14:11 guess why they call him an "undercover operative" liar?
Even after CIT went on the internet and accused this decent man of being "in on it" and a liar, he was still trying to help these "truthers" in their quest for "truth". He didn't know they were slandering him on the internet like the disgusting little cowards they are.
As Ranke's CIT loon Partner says..."Well on 7/22/08 we received a short e-mail from Keith out of the blue. Apparently he was still either oblivious to our claims about him and his account or his MO was to play dumb on purpose to make himself seem innocent. In this e-mail he included a couple of photos...
Email from Wheelhouse:
"Just thought you would like to see a few photos.
Take care
Keith D. Wheelhouse""
Nice guy. But he will soon find out he is dealing with lunatics. Here are snippits of what Ranke replies back with...
"The charade is over."...."We know you aren't to blame for a deception on this level Keith. But things will work out a lot better for you if you come clean. Work with us."......."I think it is best you are honest now. Your whole account has been proven to be fabricated by video of the C-130 at the Pentagon on 9/11."...."There is really nothing more to discuss unless you want to confess, Kieth."......" We know it was a flyover/flyaway. We have witnesses who prove this."....."We prefer to believe you are innocent and were coerced to lie."....." The video proves you are not telling the truth, Keith."
What a disgrace.
Last communication from Wheelhouse to Ranke......
"You guys need to come clean and stop the charade. Being x-military I was there and know exactly what I saw. It is a shame that there are people of your caliber that want to try to put a spin on what happened. I do not care whether you believe me or not. Have the people who contradict my story call me. You have my cell and ok to release it. There are 52 additional photos to corroborate my story. From your video you do not believe an AA jet hit the Pentagon. You had doubts that I was even there. Please have the pilot’s witnesses or who ever wants to contest it call. Best wishes in your search.
Craig you need help
Keith D. Wheelhouse"
It's all right here..
s1.zetaboards.com...
And you wonder why I don't want those loons here? So take it to court and guess what will happen? The judge will hear from every witness that they watched a plane fly into the Pentagon. Some got details wrong (Brooks said it was united) some got details right Lagasse said it was AA. Some got the path a bit off, some got it right, no one agrees on all the details, JUST LIKE AT ANY OTHER SCENE, but everyone agrees that a passenger jet hit the Pentagon. Then he will see the physical evidence and it will be 757 part after 757 part. He will see Lloyde and hear his explanation. Then he will hear Ranke's....
"A more simple explanation is that he is a long time intelligence asset who has been driving a cab around the streets of DC with a wire in it for decades."
www.abovetopsecret.com...
And guess what will happen? For all of you who say "you support the Official story". Well, CIT just proved it.
The judgement will not only be that the OCT is true, but that truthers are disgusting, and dishonest lunatics

Minutes before all had been normal. The plane itself was seen coming in. One could hardly miss it.
Originally posted by mmiichael
Let me ask you frankly, do you really think people right there at the crash site are stupid enough not to be able to tell what had happened? Cleaning up after did a single person say "There ain't no plane here?"
I was at a complete stop on the road in front of the helipad at the Pentagon[...] I looked idly out my window to the left -- and saw a plane flying so low I said, “holy cow, that plane is going to hit my car” (not my actual words). The car shook as the plane flew over. It was so close that I could read the numbers under the wing. And then the plane crashed. My mind could not comprehend what had happened. Where did the plane go? For some reason I expected it to bounce off the Pentagon wall in pieces. But there was no plane visible, only huge billows of smoke and torrents of fire.
I got to the building. Remarkably, there was no debris from the airplane. In the immediate area around the Pentagon, the grass was all scorched and blackened. Windows were obviously knocked out and you could hear a fire inside the building but the fires weren’t that prevalent at that point. It was just smoke, and it wasn’t even all that bad. One man in the ambulance with me had no idea what happened, kept asking whether it was a bomb.
I told them what I had seen and what I gather is that I was the first personal account that he had. Even at this point, I don’t believe the Secretary was confident that, in fact, a civilian airliner had hit the building. I think they still speculated about a bomb, a cruise missile, a small aircraft...
"It was coming in at a high rate of speed, but not at a steep angle--almost like a heat-seeking missile was locked onto its target and staying dead on course."
"I didn't feel anything coming out of the Pentagon [in terms of debris]," he said.

Do you mind terribly if I ask just how many "mistakes" and "probable explanations" are ok before it starts to look like someone is willfully being disingenuous?

The ones that did not witness the actual impact saw what they say they did. The fireball, the plane flying past, the aftermath, etc. None claimed to see a plane flying away, so it would appear that the preponderance of evidence says a plane hit the Pentagon, in spite of CIT flight path estimates and claims that on their proposed flight path the plane could not have struck where the Pentagon was damaged.

You're succeeding at reminding me why I no longer bother getting involved in 9/11 discussions unless something new comes up.
I would like to hear an explanation of how all those accounts 'kill each other' and add up to something none of them even hinted at IE a plane didn't hit the building or there was no plane Even CIT's select group of witnesses are firm on the point that a plane hit the building.

Sure you will prevail in any argument.
You never make mistakes.
no you didn’t actually. What I had presented was a valid irrelevant thesis.
[Did I not catch you in a bare assertion logic fault?]
I'll post these again for you to try to manipulate:
Well you’re assumption is incorrect. I’m not comfortable with any witness unless I see them in person or they are on video. Are any of these witnesses on video reporting what they saw? Those are the ones I’m interested in. Facial expressions, demeanor, occupation, affiliations, the questions they were asked which lead up to their testimonies. These are the things needed to properly deduce whether a witness is reliable or not. Without these things they are merely writing on a page with someone’s name next to them.
These are from a pro conspiracy site, so you should be comfortable with them.
Um how can you say I’m biased against witnesses that you just presented to me in this post? Attempting to poison the well again?
Once again your bias against any witnesses but those that show the conspiracy you desire is evident.
20 witnesses vs Mike Walter? They all say the car was a dark color or black. Mike Walter says the car was white. That is a drastic difference. The flight data recorder is not reliable either?
Estimates of flight path are what you consider rock solid proof that the plane couldn't have hit the Pentagon and therefore couldn't have hit the light poles. Those estimates are probably the least reliable thing to bank on.
Why would I attempt to figure out the Prestige before figuring out the Turn?
You must believe that there was a flyover and explosives or a missile of some kind was as you believe that there was a plane but that it did not hit the Pentagon.
Nope, I believe what my common sense told me all along. It just so happens that CIT’s witnesses and conclusions derived from them match those I had years ago. It also just so happens that the flight data recorder confirms what I believed as well. I knew the moment it happened that it was a magic trick. I know the Pledge; I know small aspects of the Turn. Not the best magic trick I’ve seen but it's scale and the number of people duped was incredible.
You believe CIT's explanation that their claimed flight path could only result in a flyover.
You propose no mechanism for planting the evidence of an airplane impact or what caused the poles to fly around.
You have no witnesses to a fly over.
Who says there were thousands of gallons of jet fuel? What people smelled burning was likely the burning generator in front of the Pentagon. That’s a logical explanation now that we know that a plane did not hit the building,
You propose no mechanism for having thousands of gallons of fuel burning inside the Pentagon and at the impact point.
Black operations aren't concerned which way is easiest, they care about efficiency. Regardless, it would be insurmountably harder to actually crash a plane into the Pentagon then it would be to fly a plane over the Pentagon and let the slight of hand take it from there.
You have proposed no rationale for such a contrived conspiracy when flying an airplane into the building would have been so much easier than the Rube Goldberg chain of events as espoused by CIT.
there is no conspiracy that a plane flew over. It’s a fact. You believe the conspiracy that a plane hit the pentagon. I can fill in what I might BELIEVE are the details. But unlike you, I dabble in facts. A plane flew over the Pentagon, that’s all you need to know.
If you believe that there was a conspiracy involving a flyover, fill in the testable details.
Again . . . Black operations aren't concerned which way is easiest, they care about efficiency. Regardless, it would be insurmountably harder to actually crash a plane into the Pentagon then it would be to fly a plane over the Pentagon and let the slight of hand take it from there.
Why would such a complex series of events accomplish more than just slamming a plane into the Pentagon?
there was no collision nor was there a simulation of a collision. What are you talking about? Are you talking about the explosion?
What was used to simulate the collision?
How were the lightpoles scattered?
where is your evidence that there was any jet fuel at all?
Where was the fuel placed and how was it triggered?
What was used to cause the extensive internal damage?
What happened to AA77 and the passengers on AA77?
If what you “hear” is so ridiculous, it’s time for you to accept my challenge and battle me in a member debate. Surely you could beat me in a debate if I support and employ such rhetoric?
What I usually hear is "well there were so many, like, inconsistencies in the OS, dude. There like had to be a big conspiracy, y'know. Why can't people like, live in peace" or "I'm just searching for the truth, I don't have a theory." Now is the time for you to propose a theory.
Appealing to ridicule again . . . I have no idea who did it. Whoever did it is still a masked magician at this point.
Explain how it happened and who did it [please don't blame the NWO, Reptilians, Bilderbergers, or Illuminati. They are overworked and the Villains Union local 42 will be down on you.]

With all due respect, Scott - I think you should give K a little more credit. See how many times you have to suspect that mmichael may have missed something or misquoted or accidentally attributed something to someone else or stated a 'fact' that turned out to be wrong, etc. I am just saying. You keep pointing out how he is making 'mistake' after mistake after mistake after mistake. It does not look like a pattern to you yet?

Clearly, I think that the truther side is more accurate than the OSS side, but I strongly believe that truthers frequently think that OSSers are trying to mislead, when in fact it may simply be that they themselves are mislead and have become entrenched on the wrong side of the fence.
