The 9-11 Pentagon was hit by passenger plane myth

For eight years a heated topic of debate has been"did a plane really hit the pentagon on September 11 2001?"

Overall, it doesn't make much difference to the big picture of whether the 911 attacks were an inside job. A long as the heated debate is about what hit the pentagon, it's not about patterns of insider trading prior to 911, or what made the third tower collapse, or many other more pressing questions.

But let's face it, of all the 9-11 stuff, the claim that a 757 hit the pentagon, then vaporised leaving no wreckage really does take the cake. It may be the most inane thing ever believed by the general public. And that is really saying something!

My point here is that sometimes there is one key fact that we can look at, and that fact alone, all by itself, wipes out all the assertions about the subject in one clean go: THERE WAS NO WRECKAGE!

757 Hit Pentagon Theory

The insane mainstream media "757 hit pentagon theory" is sumarised here:

AFTERMATH: Wreckage from Flight 77 on the Pentagon’s lawn--proof that a passenger plane, not a missile, hit the building. PHOTOGRAPH BY AP/WIDE WORLD PHOTOS

But is this picture proof of anything more than a bit of plane left lying on the grass? Where was the rest of the plane? The lawn looks good though...

And that's why the subject is so controversial - the "evidence" is thin and unconvincing. It amazes me that this picture is so popular amongst 757 theorists - they write about body parts littering the lawn, and then post this photo of a single segment of plane that may just have been put there afterwards by some guys in a van. Why this picture... is it the best one they have?

No Plane Hit The Pentagon Theory

Basic"no plane hit the pentagon theory" is popular amongst conspiracy theorists, commies, frenchies, and godless reptilian shape shifters

Yes, I do find it more compelling, and the pictures are better, but it may not be the whole story either....

No Plane Hoax Theory

There is also a third argument that rips into no plane theory - "no plane hoax theory" - neatly sumarised on this site:

The reason for creating this hoax is to create a false dichotomy between "no plane" and "no inside job" when maybe neither is true, to detract attention from other more dodgy stuff, and to make conspiracy theorists look like chumps to popular mechanics readers

And it's a good theory, but the pictures just don't support it any better than they support "757 hit pentagon theory", so who knows?

A suspicious aspect is that security cameras were filming the pentagon at the time, so the entire event was captured on film, as well as by tourist cameras etc. But every bit of footage in the area - including service station camera recordings, was confiscated by the FBI within hours and has never been released. Whatever actually happened, releasing the footage would rapidly conclude the debate.

So not releasing footage indicates that the US government would either rather keep the debate going, or is covering something up. Either way it's dodgy. This aspect is not a bizarre conspiracy theory - it's a plain fact that the US government is withholding evidence, plane or no plane.

A smaller plane hit the pentagon theory

Personally I'd say a plane did hit the pentagon. But not a 757 - a smaller plane such as a Global Hawk or an A3 Skywarrior. And before this remote controlled military plane crashed into the Pentagon it appears to have fired off a missile to heat things up.

And until I see video footage contradicting this theory, I'll go with it.

A careful look at the evidence does tend to favour this line of thinking!

This pentagon thing is only a tiny piece of the whole puzzle, but people love to argue about it. Anyone who says they "KNOW THAT A 757 HIT THE PENTAGON" probably hasn't looked into it enough to get themselves confused.... (and probably doesn't want to because their head might explode)
