I'm still waiting for you skeptics to do that for how UA93 supposedly crashed!
You know that if a plane hit, BUT flew North of the Citgo, that would prove the OS wrong, right?

Actually it would have been fairly difficult for any of the witnesses to see the plane impact the pentagon...

Sorry, but looking at perspective-loaded and parallaxed photographs does not mean you can say nobody could have seen anything.

Sorry, but I find it hard to believe anyone could see the impact point over those dirt mounds.
Don't you wonder what they were there for?
Bit of a coincidence, no? Along with Lloyd's cab, and light pole, incident that also coincidentally happened at the one spot that you could clearly see the impact point?
I don't care if you have been there, I have also been there.

Can you believe that no one saw any plane leaving the Pentagon?

So what? I never said they did.
I am just pointing out the obvious. Just because you don't like CIT it doesn't mean everything you say is true.

Does anyone remember Ranke's two O'clock position fiasco, that was hilarious. I don't think he ever corrected that video he probably still thinks he is in the right.
“I saw it coming across my windshield but then the passenger side of the vehicle I had had a clear view of the pentagon. I would say The Pentagon is at 2 o’clock from me, in my car. So I’m seeing it come across the windshield and then I’m looking out the passenger side window and that’s where I see the collision with the pentagon. There were no trees at that point in the way at all. I did see it impact.”
Joel Sucherman
Because of these facts, his account is not possible in relation to the official path, if literally read. But just out of curiosity, I tried to see what was the best fit for his account. Again I presumed that by ‘the Pentagon’ he meant the impact point, read 2:00 as exact, and considered the view out of the windshield and of the ‘impact point’ being visible out the passenger window. Understanding the result would only be approximate, oddly, these considerations place USA Today editor Sucherman entirely north of the official flight path, so that any plane crossing in front of his windshield to a point visible through his passenger side window, and at 2:00 as he stated, would have to be from over ANC or, with a bit of fudging, at least north of the Citgo.
Frustrating Fraud
This means ALL the witnesses, not just those specific one or two that happen to favor the ideology you want to believe. So, yes, you can continuously point to the eyewitnesses who didn't see the impact, but your steadfast refusal to address the eyewitness accounts of those who DID see the impact is what blows your conspiracy hypothesis out of the water.
I'll ask you again - point blank. HUGE event occurs. "Investagangstas!" only interview a handful of the witnesses, then publish an account that is *wildly* divergent from the commonly held theory.
Derision is hurled in the "Investagangstas!" direction, and they whine and complain that they are not being taken seriously. Someone points out "There are hundreds of people out there you did not talk to!" "Investagangstas!" complain that "They wouldn't talk to us, so we had to go ahead and publish what WE thought happened anyhow so as not to lose out on the Truther news cycle and to keep donations coming in since our band is not doing that well". Is this right? Ranke and his large friend interviewed who they needed to interview, those whose comments could be gerrymandered and twisted into their own story, decided to accuse any who held contravening view as liars, and that was it.
He said that "9/11 was quite a day. I saw the plane approach the Pentagon, coming over the Naval Annex. We were kind of mesmerized by it, but we knew we wanted to get out of the way. I and one guy ran toward the plane as it went toward the Pentagon, and we actually went under the wing of it as it passed over. In a matter of seconds, we ducked for cover. I peeked over my shoulder, and moments later, I saw the big old ball of fire and heard the explosion, and it was unreal. It was like somebody turned on a gigantic heat lamp on the back of your neck.

All they have is a half-baked scenario that immediately falls apart at the question "Where are all of the witnesses who saw the plane leaving the scene?" A plane leaving the scene is the keystone of their argument and they don't have it. No plane flying away means no flyover. They aren't even imaginative enough to claim magic, like DEW, holograms, or nuclear dustfying charges.edit on 11/12/2011 by pteridine because: spelling correction
Some people were yelling that a bomb hit the Pentagon and that a jet kept on going.

I know it's second hand, but people were heard to have said

Call me the "conspiwacy feorist" but what are the odds huh?
If you can show me how the aircraft caused the damage from the lightpoles through to C Ring on the witnessed trajectory, I'll pack my bags right now. One witness to the official path would be a start.
Proudbird, the alleged FDR data and animation were released under FOIA.
It is officially touted as the official data. The officially released data shows too high to hit the poles or Pentagon. End of story.
You may theorize all you want. Some people may have been confused. None of the many who saw the event say that they saw a jet leaving. The C130 crew that witnessed the event didn't report anything but an impact. The 'witnessed trajectory' that CIT likes is not what other witnesses saw. CIT's theory is a zombie that is dead many tmes over but keeps awakening to walk again amongst the gullible.
That is the lie that is spouted by "PilotsForTruth" (who I see you constantly cite)....this shows that you have taken their garbage as "fact", and refuse to do your own independent methods of verifying their "claims". Their (well, really it's just one guy's warped and terribly wrong opinions and poor math) conclusions and pronouncements are laughable, and show how an ego-maniac with a website and a less-than-competent abilities to examine information has made it his "mission".....a mission to make a fool of himself, for all the World to see.

There isn't one who claims to have seen the official path! There are close on 18 to 20 who corroborate North of Columbia Pike/Citgo. Nobody contradicts them.

And who's dodging the witnesses who claim to have seen an alleged impact? The problem is that even the majority of those who claimed to do so also described the NOC path! That's what the problem is.
What I find incredible is that people don't question the ability of someone to actually sit and watch fixed at an incredibly highly adrenalined situation, at the official 540mph and watch an explosion that was felt up to 3km away with and an alleged "200ft diameter" fireball. Without flinching?
Pentagon. Most in the best position were in their cars, probably fixated on the radio reports of what had happened in Manhattan, phoning around or probably wondering wth was the hold up. Most were stuck in bumper to bumper traffic.
I can't deny what these people said that they saw regarding an "impact" but just as equally, you can't deny the overwhelming pattern of the path that they describe.

And CIT is still lying. Especially about interviewing all known witnesses. I know this because a friend of mine was at the Pentagon that day and witnessed Flight 77 slamming into the Pentagon. He is, indeed, a "known" witness to the CIT, because he would not talk to them and after that, someone claiming to be part of CIT harassed him and his family enough that he had to change his phone number.
