Sorry I'm not CatHerder, but I can answer that. Each outer wall of the Pentagon is 921ft long, and just over 77ft high.

Thank you for your answer, you are the only person to respond to my dimensions and in fact corroborate them. If my and your dimensions are correct, then CatHerder�s assumptions are incorrect, and as I have stated, his hypotheses are assumption and not fact based. Consequently, the picture where he superimposes a 757 using a retrofit cannot be substantiated. Further, I have posited observations which remain non-refuted; 1)The �American� logo above the stripe which is wider than same, is not identifiable in the original picture I provide, but both the red and white stripes are. This makes no sense. 2)The stripe colours are out of order. 3)The tailfin is displaced in that in the original picture I provide has it is located directly above the obstacle and not to the right of same as in CH�s superimposition. This can be carefully scrutinized by the vapour trail placement as well. 4)The wing placement of the AA craft used in CH�s later superimposition of the still in question does not correspond with the aft placement of the wings as depicted of a 757 on the AA site I provide. At this time I wish to introduce two other issues that I have; The vapour trail in either the original or CH�s version does not seem to align with where the wing placement should be. The tailfin of the craft seems to have a T like shape (I am not aircraft savvy so forgive my description) which is specific only to the video still showing the craft�s outline, whereas, the 757 has no such tailfin.

Yeah. The three outer rings are NOT separated from each other in the first and second floor. I mean: The three outer rings have a common first and second floor. Look at the picture and count the windows: @CatHerder: thanks a lot for your great work. It is the best "No-plane" debunker site I have ever seen! Salana [edit on 27-9-2004 by Salana]

Damn, I missed that. Good catch. It was even apparent on this graphic from page 1

Please, look at the photo in my post I supplied for you. Please read the post, please read the pentagon information supplied in the original article and in subsequent posts. ALL OF THIS WAS CLEARLY STATED! It's all freely available information from thousands of different library sources. It's all freely accesible information from the Pentagon site. It's all freely available information from any non-government source! THE RED LINE IS 921 feet (the outerwall of each pentagon segment is 921 feet). I dont know how to make it clearer for you. The red line is 921 feet. The line from the camera to the position of the aircraft is longer than the red line on the pentagon wall. Therefore the distance to the aircraft is greater than 921 feet. This isn't even taking into account that the photo is taken from a satellite that is not directly over the pentagon, but instead is at a slight angle (I'd say about 10 degrees based on how much of the wall of Pentagon is visible in the lower left corner of the photo). If you did factor in perspective, and used basic geometry and calculus, you'd arrive at a slightly longer line than what is on the photo for the distance from the gate camera (X) to the aircraft postion on line B-|-FlightPath. But even without doing this it's still longer than the wall of the Pentagon. I don't know how you can respond to something that is provided for you, and completely dismiss it without even reading it... [edit on 28-9-2004 by CatHerder]
Originally posted by SomewhereinBetweenCatHerder, what is the length of each of the five sides of the pentagon? Is it 921 feet in total or 921 feet per module? If each module is 921 feet then even your 1,200 feet is more than acceptable. if however the total of each side is 921 feet, then you must accept that the camera had to have been no further than the corner of an end module unless it can see around corners, and that the crash site was not in the centre module reducing the 921 feet by the full length of that end module. Consequently, if it is the former, then I give you your 1200 feet, in fact I would concede 2,000 feet, but if it is the latter, then even your 1,000 feet is not correct would be exorbitantly liberal. The whole point of your exercise is then called into question if you are not using facts to support your position. [edit on 9/25/04 by SomewhereinBetween]
1200 feet? Maybe not (doesn't look like it, I hate approximating things before I check and measure [sorry about that]) - but 1000-1100 feet? Absolutely.
Exactly. You believe what you want to believe. Lets look at some of your beliefs. 1: I work for George Bush. A: Nope sorry, he doesn't live in Canada, and he doesn't like Canadians. 2: My "work" is a socially engineered work of deception. A: Sorry no. I'm a private Canadian citizen who thinks some people need to read more non-fiction and fewer supermarket tabloids. 3: "This is crap" A: You are entitled to your opinion. At least I back mine with some facts and information, and I take the time to research what it is I am talking about before I post rude and ignorant posts on a subject I know nothing about. 4: "But I would imagine there is a team of people palying your game! You make me vomit." A: No sorry, I am just one individual. I learned to read when I was young. And having learned how to read I use that as a tool in my adult life to educate myself on subjects I know little about (I choose to better myself through educating myself instead of going through life not knowing how things work and why things work). Instead of going through life jumping from one belief to another, I choose to proove things to myself by reading, researching, and coming to an educated conclusion on topics that interest me. You should seriously try it sometime. I believe when I close my eyes the world ceases to exist. Can you prove me wrong? I don't think you can. Therefore, I must be right! Keep that in mind the next time you blink - the entire weight of humanity is in your hands buddy!

It just does not fit, no matter what science you apply to it. Show me the real juice, the real videos confiscated. This is crap. I am amazed how people believe to this crap. Bye.

Incorrect. The line from the camera traces laterally to the fa�ade, the only variant to the measurement would be how many feet away from the corner of the building the camera was placed. Go into your backyard, measure the width of your house, then stand as many feet as you want to away from the house at the corner, walk a straight line to the other end of your house and tell me how many feet more you have traveled. Your statement relative to a satellite photo to justify the distance is just silly. To be liberal, I will equally divide the 921.6 feet between the three modules, now look at your �satellite� photo, does the gate camera look to you like it is as far away from the building as the 307.2 feet length of the module it is closest to? Then there is this photo which shows the impact in the centre module thereby reducing even further your estimation of 1,000 by well over 300 feet. www.serendipity.li..." target='_blank' class='tabOff'/> In addition, you have made a claim that the craft was a 757 and offered up graphics including retrofitted planes to support your position that you have proven your hypothesis. Yet, I noted that your aircraft placement relative to the obstacle was incorrect, your revised placement has an incorrect wing placement, the order of colours of the craft in the original photo provided by CNN do not correspond to the order of colours of an American Airline�s air liner. The logo is wider than the stripes which are visible, but the logo is not. All in all, CatHerder, my dispute is not with your tremendous effort extended by you in post one, it is that the information you base your 757 graphic illustration on is not fully fact based but subjective, relying on erroneous assumption such as your calculations as per the distance. So as I said earlier on, I have not yet been convinced it is a 757, much less an AA 757. Now how you can dismiss all of that has me as puzzled as you seem to be of me.
The line from the camera to the position of the aircraft is longer than the red line on the pentagon wall. Therefore the distance to the aircraft is greater than 921 feet.
It was a guess, an estimate, an assumption based on looking at the lines without going deep down and measuring it pixel by pixel... Whoops.
Originally posted by SomewhereinBetween Yes the fa�ade length is 921 feet. You do not have to make clearer to me what I have provided for you. So then... first you respond that the craft was 1200 away from the camera, then you say 1,000.
You are correct in the fact that I was mistaken with my guesstimate of 1200 feet. It's more or less 950-975 feet away (the front of the tail of the aircraft that appears in the picture). Regardless - the 757 overlayed on the photo is to scale (within reasonable accuracy) because it's a fact that it would take 7.4 757's lined wing to wing to equal 921 feet (one outer wall of the Pentagon). Now that we can both see that it's around 950-975 feet away. What has changed in your argument? Nothing has changed in mine. It's still a far off object for a small surveillance camera designed to take close images of traffic coming and going at the one gate. It is absolutely, positively, further away from the camera than 921 feet. Period. The impact on the building, is of course closer than 921 feet, if I took the time to figure out the cos and sin of the angles I'm sure I could tell you fairly accurately how far away it was - but I'd estimate it's about 675 feet away from the camera. The plane hit about 3/4 of the way along the wall (away from the camera) not the middle of the wall. (see original images of the Pentagon impact area in first post of this thread - they're all clickable and link to very large versions) As for your observations on the peice of wreckage with part of the logo, where do you see anything remotely like the dark blue stripe that you keep aluding to?? That is ~2 feet below the chunk in the photo. There wouldn't be any blue paint stripe from a peice high up on the fuselage. And contrary to what you claim regarding the size of the white stripe around the letter, it IS the right size... Gosh... I really don't know what more I can do to help you here.

Sorry, I have been off the web a bit lately, and just got your post. I did not realize that your discrepancy with the paint was about the striping on the wreckage. I already posted that the scheme was:
Originally posted by SomewhereinBetween If anyone got my point at all, it was not about the light blue/grey since I went to the trouble of using "/" as the accepted indicator of either colour, such that one might use; him/her, to someone when gender is unknown. The issue I have on the colour I thought self-evident especially given the way I charted the colours of the 3 crafts. so I provide same again, and this time highlight what to me is the obvious dissimilarity.: AA 757- ������..AA767�������.Video������Debris ����������.blue/grey��������......................

It seemed so apparent to me that this piece of wreckage was part of the lettering that is Red Outlined in White, that it just flew right by me. Catherder put a nail in that coffin already, better then I could have. As far as the video goes, you cannot even see the stripes or lettering on that grainy, lo-res, piece of film.

Wow, what a totally incomprehensible reply.

If you don�t understand how ground effect works, then say so. Basically it means that as the plane gets closer to the ground, the wings get more efficient at lift. This is exacerbated at high speed and the fact that the plane was in a very shallow angle of attack related to the ground.
Originally posted by An VanderVeld The plane was "flying" damn low, hehe. 1o feet or so, according to the broken fences and the height of the hole in the building? Sure, it was in attack mode with no wheels out of the body.... but flying that straight, and being on the air cushion and at the same time being so closed to the ground? No flaps open? Well, the speed was then higher that 200 miles per hour...
What is your issue here? As for the pitch of the nose, the pilot was aiming for the building. Nope, the plane crashed straight while flying parallel to the ground, the hole is round and perfect! based on this it is apparent that you did not bother to read any of the pages in this thread, even if you did not state so. Are you talking about the impact hole or the exit hole?
No nose up, even under those circumstaces? Or nose down if it was under a certain angle coming from above?
Are you suggesting that only American pilots can fly a plane? Nope, your post is still pretty much gibberish. [edit on 30-9-2004 by HowardRoark]

I love it when the conspiracy geeks get totally flustered by facts and have to resort to this kind of ad hominem mumbo-jumbo.
