A warehouse of evidence, recordings, testimony - largely from the general public - all demonstrate that clearly and unambiguously.
Nothing beyond speculation and attempts at manipulating anecdotal information to indicate otherwise have emerged in 8 years.
I strongly disagree with the above. Perhaps you'd like to go over some of this alleged evidence?
On this board alone there are tens of thousands of posts providing specifics of the Pentagon crash. Many links have been provided on this thread. There are thousands of relaible sources on the Internet. Few things in history have been reconstructed in such detail.

If people are of the mind to dismiss everything that has documented, then nothing will convince them. You need convincing, you can phone any of a dozen labs that analyzed the remains and DNA recovered and probably talk to an actual person who worked on it.

But if someone wants to accept the Internet circulating disinformation and totally unfounded speculations out there, nothing I say will dissuade them.
If you really are concerned, dip into the mass of data on this event and then provide your personal list of discrepancies. If you really think there's some massive cover-up involving thousands of people, government and private citizens, colluding on mass murder and withholding evidence, you have to show something tangible that substantiates your claim.

I'm not sure how many people would have had to have been involved. I certainly believe that Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush were involved, but after that I'm really not sure how many more people would have been necessary to pull this off. I have also recently heard about some people who were allegedly at the airport where the plane that allegedly (I use allegedly here for your sake) flew over the pentagon landed that have been getting killed suspiciously; perhaps they knew a little too much? You may ask for sources and at this point, I don't have them. There's just so much information and there's a limit to how much any individual can remember. But if I find that information, would you like to see it?

While there's no doubt Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld are up to their ears in collusion, duplicity, withholding vital information - and in fact I have a pretty clear picture - the actual mechanics of the attacks happened as reported and confirmed in the investigation. Hijaacked planes flown to targets.

When you add in the testimony and confessions from people in the Middle East directly involved, it's hard to imagine a scheme that would utilize thousands not only in the US but a dozen non-cooperative countries.

The investigation afterward focused on details to fully understand how the devastation occurred. No one felt it necessary to prove the destruction was as seen, any more than they have to prove the causes of destruction when New Orleans was hit by Katrina.

There is a popular subculture trying to contrive scenarios of US admin planning and direct involvement in what happened on 9/11. Stories are reported on the Internet and circulate like wildfire. They inevitably prove to be baseless, often pure invention.
Originally posted by mmiichael
When the anecdotes and allegations are weighed against the vast and consistent hard data gathered by investigators, journalists, enthusiasts worldwide, they look foolish at best, possibly malign in intent.
Originally posted by mmiichael
The US admin was and is capable of tremendous deception and self-serving actions. But there is no question the country was succesfully attacked by foreign nationals attempting to do as much destruction as they could.
Originally posted by scott3x
Can you atleast link to your alleged evidence that the plane that approached the pentagon actually hit it?
I have never said that some within the middle east weren't involved. But yes, I do indeed believe that people in the US as well as in other countries, were involved; at present, the countries I believe were involved are Israel, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. I honestly haven't seen any evidence linking Afghanistan, although I do believe that the Taliban were given a chance to 'co-operate' with certain oil interests; they refused and the gauntlet descended.

You're not able to support your claim that passenger bodies were found strapped to airline seats, so we don't expect you to know anything really.
Originally posted by mmiichael
Thinking that typing questions like "where are the pictures of passengers strapped into seats" is a typical demonstration of your inability to deal with reality.
Originally posted by mmiichael
Where is your proof the plane and passengers that left Dulles airport were not in the wreckage? Where is your proof that radar controllers, passersby, DNA analysts, police, firemen, volunteers - are all lying?
Originally posted by mmiichael
When you are able to provide a shred of proof for any of the wonky theories you so desperately want to buy into, you might have a leg to stand on.

All that I have done is to ask you to support your claim that passenger bodies were found strapped to airline seats. You've failed to do this.

"When Williams discovered the scorched bodies of several airline passengers, they were still strapped into their seats. The stench of charred flesh overwhelmed him.
'It was the worst thing you can imagine,' said Williams, whose squad from Fort Belvoir, Va., entered the building, less than four hours after the terrorist attack. 'I wanted to cry from the minute I walked in. But I have soldiers under me and I had to put my feelings aside.'
Rescue Commander U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Mark Williams
Does this man not exist? Is his statement a lie?
SO...it comes down to FINDING Sgt. Williams, and asking him again to recount his memory of being there. CHECKING his Army records to see if they indicate WHERE he was that day, to verify his authenticity.
THAT is how you conduct a proper investigation and draw conclusions...not from biased conspiracy sites on the Intertubes....
[..]
"I did see airplane seats and a corpse still strapped to one of the seats."
Capt. Jim Ingledue , Virginia Beach Fire Dept
from the JREF forum...from about one year ago
(from poster Alt+F4)
(there was a link here, not working...will search for it)
A multi-disciplinary team of more than 50 forensic specialists, scientists and support personnel from the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) played a major role in one of the most comprehensive forensic investigations in United States history following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack at the Pentagon in Virginia, just outside Washington, DC.
Code-named "Operation Noble Eagle," AFIP’s team of forensic pathologists, odontologists, a forensic anthropologist, DNA experts, investigators and support personnel worked for over two weeks at the Dover Air Force Base Port Mortuary at Dover, Delaware to identify the 188 victims of the attack. "Our staff represented every branch of the service," said AFIP Director Glenn N. Wagner, CAPT, MC, USN, who served as senior officer during the operation.
Why don't the conspiracy liars just contact a few of the folks mentioned in this report? Why not drop by any Metro D.C. fire house and interview a few of the firefighter that saw the bodies?
As for the FBI, why are they lying when they say they saw AA77 passenger bodies at the Pentagon but telling the truth when know the "real reasons" OBL isn't on the most wanted list?
Good points, and good questions.......

Strange that there are photographs of the bodies that you say were completely destroyed that were identified by the DNA that you say was also completely destroyed.

A recovered black box, tons of wreckage, dead bodies with matching DNA along with hundreds of witnesses preclude anything else.
Originally posted by mmiichael
Anyone wanting to claim otherwise has a serious burden of proof showing something else happened, and that all the information from all sources have been falsified.
Originally posted by mmiichael
I said 'weedwhacker' posted information on passengers strapped into seats. And I said go find it. It was earlier today.
Originally posted by tezzajw
No, mmiichael. What weedwhacker posted was an unconfirmed witness statement. That's not proof of anything.
You really need to do better than that.
Show me how the witness was qualified to identify the remains? Which passenger body was found strapped to which seat?
Honestly, the standards of evidence that you're prepared to accept for a claim are really pathetic.
You have not proven that there were any passenger bodies strapped to airline seats - neither has weedwhacker.
Originally posted by pteridine
The heat completely destroyed metal, brick, and almost 70 people? You must be reading those truther sites again. Strange that there are photographs of the bodies that you say were completely destroyed that were identified by the DNA that you say was also completely destroyed. STR is exactly for the type of disaster at the Pentagon. You are 90% bluff, lillydale.
Originally posted by mmiichael
A Youtube video with dramatic music and a hyped up intro assembling a pictures with lots of arrows over a Google map of the Pentagon is your notion of proof on something.
Originally posted by mmiichael
DNA reports from a bodies in wreckage that matches someone who boarded a plane in plain sight doesn't cut it.

Here, mmiichael wants us to believe that there were not thousands of people involved at the Pentagon and that the US does not want to release documentation.
That's right - it took mmiichael 50 minutes to contradict himself with two posts taking opposing views.
Before you start on your accusations, where is your shred of proof Flight 77 didn't hit the Pentagon with passengers in it?
Are you some mouthpiece for disinformation agents and video salesmen?
This board doesn't need more mindless trolls desperate for attention?
