For those of you who watch it:
A Boeing 757 is:
124’ 10" from wing tip to wing tip
44’ 6" Tall (40’ if engines and tail are sitting ON THE GROUND)
155’ 3" long
and in extended range comfiguration with fuel and passangers weighs
255,000lb (1275 tons) Some planes are only equiped for shorter trips… they weigh less.
Veeeery interesting, nothing like the offical report or what was reported by the television networks.
One thing, how did they FBI know about all the private security video cameras along the supposed route of a supposed aircraft, when it seems they can’t find their way to lunch!
What struck me the most was the absense of the usual aircraft crash debris. What happened to the bodies? If a military jet did get “scrambled” (like eggs, always sounds like) and shot a missile that hit the Pentagon, what happened to the actual plane? It must have crashed somewhere else? If it blew up in the sky, there would have been a shower of debris?
Amazing stuff…,
I can clearly remember when this happened asking my son and anyone else who might have been around at the time “Where’s the Plane?”.
It was incredibly strange to see the ruined walls but not one shred of anything that looked like an aeroplane.
I have to say i’m fairly convinced now that it wasn’t a large plane that struck the Pentagon. Not because of the usual Government coverup, but because of the missing debris, and the size and shape of the damage, especially in the internal walls. Festinating…
It is all clear now. It was a few crop circle pranksters that caused all that damage. All the dead and wounded volunteered to be reported as such and were compensated.
I guess it all shows how guillible the public is, that 5% (or is it 10%) believe that Elvis Presley and Jim Morrison are still alive. In other words, some people will believe virtually ANYTHING based on an Internet report, or a best selling book, or a popular movie, no matter how far fetched, no matter how silly. But hey, everyone is entitled to an opinion, and most folks have a few beliefs that the general population would consider “way out there,” myself included.
What is really scary is what happens in countries with tightly controlled media, such as Egypt, Iran, and other Islamic countries, China, Cuba and other countries still ruled by despots. Stuff like the spoof in the first post in the thread is treated as gospel and becomes as such. Egyptians still don’t believe that their pilot voluntarily crashed his plane in that tragic incident. Most Arabs still don’t believe it was Muslims that commandeered and crashed on the planes on 9/11. Many Arabs believe 9/11 was a plot by Israel and the CIA to get Americans angry at them. No facts, no first hand eye-witness reports, no websites, no books, or movies will convince them otherwise.
So, according to snopes, the walls were reinforced with some kind of superstrong cloth they make bulletproof vests from. This would explain why the walls didn’t shatter, and instead there was a neat and relatively small hole where the plane went in. The wings folded neatly and penetrated the building with the rest of the plane, and everything was contained in one section of the Pentagon, where it burned intensely and incinerated. This also helps explain why the fire was so hot.
Still, it’s hard to believe that he airplane hit the ground first and left no damage in the lawn.
How does something that is 125 feet wide, and 40 feet tall cause damage that is only 90 feet wide and 25 feet tall? In order for the wings to FOLD UP they would have to hit the building first… The kinetic energy released by an 80 aircraft traveling at 560 mph is in the neighborhood of 25,088,000,000 psi. 25 BILLION pounds per square inch is a whole lot of force [EK=1/2(mass)x(velocity squared). With that sort of force you could put a #2 pencil through 6 feet of solid titanium. Ever seen the videos of Scientist working for aviation companies shooting chickens out of a cannon and punching holes in airplaines? That is a WHOLE LOT LESS kinetic energy a few thousand pounds… Just think about the massive amount of damage caused by the airplains that crashed into the WTC… How often do you here STORIES about the friends and family of people in the airplains that hit the WTC… now how often do you here stories of the friends of family of the people that were Alegedly in the plain that supposidly hit the Pentagon?
The wife of someone that was on the Pentagon plane spoke at the recent convention.
For obvious reasons there hasn’t been a lot of testing of crashing large airplanes into fortified buildings. There are not a lot of incidents for a database to be established. The French book and the spoof site are picking at a handful of facts and figures and isolating them so that lay people will start to doubt. That is easy to do, but many of the other theories out there are at the extreme edge, way, way, way out there.
There are 24 inches of concrete and reinforced steel on the Pentagon walls plus that special fabric liner of bulletproof material. An air-to-air missile would do little damage on that kind of hardened target, even traveling at Mach 3. Even a large ship-to-ship missile, such as an Exocet would not do much against that kind of large hardened target. Other theories such as the U. S. goverment planted a large bomb in their own building, and made up lists of dead and wounded, are the kind of stuff seen in state controlled media in totalitarian regimes.
If people want to believe Elvis is still alive and working in a gas station, that is relatively harmless. However in my opinion, the kind of stuff on the spoof page, is pernicious and destructive to the fabric of society. I would not want them silenced, however, I believe there are better uses for the time and resources, both for the readers and creators. (Though the guy with the book probably made out like a bandit.)

With as much money and power at stake, even scenarios we can’t imagine are possible. We are ultimately victims of ourselves. No matter what the truth is, we’re not doing something right.
