What "government story?"
Exactly, you're finally catching on! All of these official government story supporters have been entering this thread, trying to convince the casual readers that the light pole hit the taxi... yet they fail to produce a shred of government evidence to prove that it ever happened!
Well done, jthomas. You're finally starting to see it for what it is... media driven...

And you haven't made any case why we need to be concerned with the light poles and Lloyd's taxi.
Yes I have. You must have missed reading the past thirty-odd pages.
mmiichael has claimed that a light pole hit the taxi. He has not proven it. pteridine has claimed that a light pole hit the taxi. He has not proven it. Others have made the claim that a light pole hit the taxi. They have not proven it.
If they were not so concerned about the light pole hitting the taxi, then why are they trying to convince everyone that it happened?

You should be capable of explaining it in one short paragraph. I have seen nothing from you in 30 posts that remotely explains why we should care.
Well you should care, and if you don’t, it speaks worlds of your logical abilities. I repeat . . . “If a commercial airliner didn’t knock down a light pole which subsequently impaled llyods cab. Then there is no reason to assume that a commercial airliner knocked down a light pole.”
You said it was a "government" story and that we should care about it for some unexplained reason. None of us, including mmichael, pteridine, reheat, or me gives a flying quack that a light pole hit by AA77 and knocked it down into Lloyd's windshield. .
I repeat . . . again “If a commercial airliner didn’t knock down a light pole which subsequently impaled llyods cab. Then there is no reason to assume that a commercial airliner knocked down a light pole.”
Yet you claim we should care about it and that WE should prove it without giving us any valid reason why.
“If a commercial airliner didn’t knock down a light pole which subsequently impaled llyods cab. Then there is no reason to assume that a commercial airliner knocked down a light pole.”
We've all told you we don't care and want to know why you think it has any relevance whatsoever. It has no bearing on anything since AA77 hit the Pentagon, a fact with which you you now claim to agree.

It's proven by first hand testimony, photographs taken immediately after, an overwhelming preponderance of circumstantial evidence.
all of the evidence is conflicting.
Further, there is a complete lack of conflicting evidence, reliable testimony, or credible alternative explanation.
Case Closed.
The subject here is "Independent Investigation Into Pentagon Attack Yields Alarming Information"
You have provided no information or analysis on the topic. You unremittingly harangue on the broken windshield. It begs the question of why the emphasis on an inconsequential event irrelevant to the Pentagon Attack.

the light poles are insignificant as part of the conspiracy.

Circumstantial evidence is used in civil courts to establish or deny liability. It is usually the most common form of evidence, for example in product liability cases and road traffic accidents

Wrong.

Broken windshield. Recently knocked down adjacent light pole. Testimony of a witness two feet from the windshield of the light pole causing the damage. Diagram later supplied.
No conflicting evidence. No plausible alternative explanation.
Legally recognizable proof. Case still closed.
What you said are two bare assertion fallacies(1)(2). You’ve offered no evidence that my language or logic was in error. I suggest you scrutinize your own reading and logistic abilities.
From what I can make out this is a combination of language and logic errors.
Loaded question (3). I never said that I knew a light pole broke a windshield. Your logic is failing.
Do you know of something other than the light pole breaking the windshield?
Is there any relevance to the plane crashing into the Pentagon?

Sorry, you are still 100% wrong. Our court system is flawed, so using examples of how it conducts itself is laughable. I’m talking about epistemology and basic scientific method. Circumstantial evidence should never be relied on to deduce TRUTH. EVER.

You disagree so the witnesses are all either lying or mistaken?
Here is one who watched the entire event: americanhistory.si.edu...
"I work at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation"
"At that point, the wings disappeared into the Pentagon."
"God Bless America!"
Which are you?
All the evidence points to a plane hitting the Pentagon? You sure about that?
A plane hit the Pentagon. All evidence points to that. Anyone who says differently is "either lying or mistaken."

legal proof is different from actually proof. This is epistemology 101.

The law was cited as the issue was legal 'proof'
This is why it is so easy to dupe insurance companies.
Circumstantial evidence, it's preponderance, when in conjunction with testimony, and a lack of alternative plausible explanations are used extensively in the legal system, particularly with traffic accidents.
It’s supposed to be impossible to prosecute and defend most cases. Naively relying on circumstantial evidence is the reason why innocent men go to prison and insurance fraud is easier than stealing candy from a baby.
If circumstantial evidence were given no weight, it would be impossible to prosecute or defend in a vast number of cases.
Very few incidents are fully witnessed or recorded.

Allow me to second that thought. ALL of the evidence points to a plane hitting the Pentagon.
