That one line encapsulates perfectly the Truther concept of "rigorous research". Wrap that line in a mantle of aerodynamic ignorance, aeronautical confusion and engineering befuddlement and you have an ideal Christmas present that explains why Truthers will never, ever amount to anything other than comic relief throughout the internet ether.

Can't wait for the next display of intellectual rigor tied to the Pentagon on 9/11. Frozen cadavers trucked in the night before? Howitzers firing on the building? Pre-planted explosives? Cherry picked quotes from "witnesses" who's other testimony discounts the aforementioned cherry-picked quotes, meaning they are lying - except when it is convenient they aren't? You guys crack me up.

Don't forget the elderly cab driver that was recruited to help carry out this "military deception." Oh, and the planted broken light poles.

Maybe you can answer the following. Where are the wings or wing debris? Where is the tail or tail debris?

This was a high speed crash into a solid object. Unlike a normal crash where the pilot is deperately trying to minimise impact this pilot was endeavouring to maximise it. The 9/11 Commission puts the final speed of AA 77 at 530 mph. This is video of a fighter plane crashing into a solid object at 500 mph :- www.metacafe.com... I am not suggesting it is 100 % comparable but I think it does give an idea of the forces unleashed. I therefore think that, in high speed crashes like these, it is unreasonable to expect to recover wings and tail in large identifiable sections.

Yes, and the plane would not have made it all the way into the building. In a crash wings will normally be sheared off. So where are the wings or debris?

It is not just because of plane wreckage and physical damage that I believe AA 77 hit the Pentagon. Radar places AA 77 at the Pentagon. Air Traffic Control does. The aircraft's Flight Data Recorder does ( and includes multiple previous flights by that aircraft ) The crew of a C130 saw the impact. Many witnesses on the ground saw the crash. To the best of my knowledge there is not a single witness to a missile or a flyover. AA 77 disappeared that morning at the Pentagon and neither it nor its passengers have been seen again but dna of those passengers and crew was recovered and identified. All you are doing is speculating about what happened to the wings which I think is quite unrealistic in a high speed crash. What plane crash at 500 mph > into a re-inforced building are you using for comparison purposes ?

What wreckage, what damage?

Well photos of other plane crashs show wings normally will shear of when hitting something. [edit on 8-2-2010 by REMISNE]

Well, if you don't think there was any physical damage or plane wreckage at the Pentagon we are clearly living on different planets and any further debate will be a waste of time.

Please show me evidence the damage was done by AA77. Pease show wing or wing debris. Please show an official reports matching wreckage to the plane. [edit on 8-2-2010 by REMISNE]

And then leave it totally exposed to an air attack. No anti-aircraft missiles? Sure

Why would it have AA missiles? You do not put AA missiles on a target you want to protect, by the time you fire them the plane/missile will probably hit you anyway. Also there is a domestic airport a few miles away, so do you shoot any plane that takes off from there?

The historical record of what was and WAS NOT installed at the Pentagon on 11 September, 2001, is fully available. Only the most crass of 'truther' websites would suggest otherwise....merely to fool another flock of sheep.....
No anti-aircraft missiles? Sure
If you want to remeber the people that died on 9/11 the best thing you can do is want to find the truth of what actually happened that day, otherwise you are disrespecting all those people. Also i can post facts and evidence that shows reasonable doubt in the official story. [edit on 21-2-2010 by REMISNE]
