Some are saying "where is the plane?" I don't think the debris field should be
the issue here. Flight 77 was supposedly flying somewhere between 200 and 450
mph, depending on which story is read. At that speed, we are going to have a
great deal of forward momentum. When Flight 77 hits the Pentagon, momentum will
carry the fuselage, wings, tail section…into the Pentagon. The plane will
virtually collapse on itself; thus, your debris field becomes compressed inside
the building. Very little debris will be seen outside the building.
I believe the focus should be directed at witness reports and the damage to the
Pentagon itself. The wingspan of a 757-200 is approx. 124 feet. The damaged area
of the Pentagon is approx. 70 to 80 feet. Inspecting photographs of the damaged
area shows only superfluous damage to the right and left of this 70 feet damaged
section. The million-dollar question becomes "shouldn't the damaged area be
wider?"
At first I said, "yep, it should." But after taking a second look, I'm saying,
"well maybe not." It is conceivable to me that the wings upon hitting the
building collapsed inward. The momentum will still carry them forward into the
building. This would cause only superfluous damage to the lower section of the
Pentagon outside of the major damaged area. This seems to be what the photos
reveal.
I am more concerned with the inconstancy of testimonies relative to the size of
the plane. Some say big, some say small, some say two planes, and some do not
reference any size. I believe a plane hit the Pentagon, but I'm not too sure
what kind of plane.
Another factor that baffles me is the degree of precision necessary to fly a 757
somewhere around 450 mph into the lower two floors of the Pentagon. It is my
understanding the plane initially flew over the Pentagon at 7000 feet, initiated
a tight spiral turn of around 270 degrees, and decreased in altitude of some
7000 feet in about two minutes before hitting the Pentagon. Can a two bit
terrorist pilot flying Cessna's having some simulator time pull that off? Any
commercial pilots out there care to respond?
The last factor that makes me suspicious is the failure to play the video. If in
fact the video corroborates the official story, I would think it would have been
played at least as many times as the WTC video. But, we the public see nothing.
