if there's nothing to hide they would have released all of the CCTV footage surrounding the pentagon.
Maybe what they are hiding has nothing to do with the attack?
Maybe it would reveal details of where they hide their cameras? Or other security reasons?
Or maybe none of the other cameras were pointing in the direction of the plane?
You realize that most security cameras are pointed in the direction of some entry point? Not a row of windows that cannot even be opened.
You have to consider that maybe there really is no other footage. The government is not good at doing a thorough job of anything. There was just too many things that could have screwed up in their plans.
And no one talks after all these years.
"You realize that most security cameras are pointed in the direction of some entry point? Not a row of windows that cannot even be opened."
This is where you are wrong see the pics below.

Remote control is much harder to perform maneuvers like at the Pentagon, because you don't have any kind of external input to the pilot, where he can make corrections, so he's always behind the aircraft. At that altitude, if you're behind the aircraft, you're going to hit the ground and miss.
It's all about control and AS3X gives you more than ever before possible. Before AS3X, stability and agility were typically limited to a narrow control range. Any attempt to gain more stability meant a sacrifice of agility or vice versa. With AS3X, there is no compromise. You get dramatically more control, plus more stability and agility than ever dreamed possible.
An industry-first, specifically tuned AS3X System technology in UMX airplanes is exciting because it helps the pilot focus more on the thrill of flying than work load required to stay in smooth control. No longer will you have to deal intensely with flight complications such as turbulence, torque and tip stalls. All you feel is ultra-smooth control, even outdoors in moderate wind, and exhilarating aircraft agility that feels natural and helps you to quickly build skills as an RC pilot.
AS3X equipped aircraft will change the way you'll want to fly now and in the future.

Ah you are thinking remotely piloted
I am thinking computer controlled flight control
Take a look at the Parrot AR Drone you can pilot with a smartphone or Ipad
Fly it in the wind and see how hard it is to control then take you finger off the screen and let the autopilot hover it for you - the dang thing stays in place much better than you can do
Andreas von Buelow said that this technology was named Home Run.
The German went on to give his Tagesspeigel interviewer his overall perspective of the 9/11/01 attacks: '"I can state: the planning of the attacks was technically and organizationally a master achievement. To hijack four huge airplanes within a few minutes and within one hour, to drive them into their targets, with complicated flight maneuvers! This is unthinkable, without years-long support from secret apparatuses of the state and industry ... I have real difficulties, however, to imagine that all this all sprang out of the mind of an evil man in his cave"'
Another technology devised by the U.S. military for remote control of huge airplanes is named Global Hawk. On April 24, 2001, four months before "'9/11,'" Britain's International Television News reported: "A robot plane has made aviation history by becoming the first unmanned aircraft to fly across the Pacific Ocean."
Britain's ITN continued: "The Global Hawk, a jet-powered aircraft with a wingspan equivalent to a Boeing 737, flew from Edwards Air Force Base in California and landed late on Monday at the Royal Australian Air Force base at Edinburgh, in South Australia state... It flies along a pre-programmed flight path, but a pilot monitors the aircraft during its flight via a sensor suite which provides infra-red and visual images."
According to the Australian Global Hawk manager Rod Smith: '"The aircraft essentially flies itself, right from takeoff, right through to landing, and even taxiing off the runway."'
Now, who or what would you trust for aerial missions as demanding as those of "'9/11'" (or trust to fly an airliner from one airfield in California to another in Australia): The Arab students who are described above, or the Global Hawk or Home Run technologies?

There is zero evidence that Home Run exists, and a lot of evidence against it. If you think that it's bad that someone has a bad day and shoots up their work place, imagine what they could do with Home Run when they snap.

If drones can be flown rc style from a secure and remote location, then I see no reason why rc aircraft cannot be developed and flown the same way. Really there is no stretching of the imagination here at all. Evidence has been provided and you either take it or leave it.
The real stretch of imagination is believing an airplane hit the pentagon when there is not a single credible video proving this from the world's most secure building. And if no airplane hit the pentagon, THEN NO PASSENGER AIRLINER HIT THE TWIN TOWERS EITHER!

Because of the control system on the 757 and 767. You don't just slap some devices on them and say "Ok, it's remote control now." The 707 that NASA used in the 1970s took a lot of testing and development to get to where they could get it to fly long enough to get to their crash range. And even then they were off target, and had an incredibly difficult time flying it.

Fox News reported cargo/military planes first and apparently abandoned this for passenger jets. Many eyewitnesses claimed "no windows and a blue logo". Please do not claim they were too far away, as this would be bs.
