Did flight 77 really crash into the Pentagon on 9/11 or was it in fact a missile?

Honestly, those who know arent telling. There was no wreckage to indicate it was a 757, the damage of the building was inconsistant with that of a 757, and the manuvering required was well beyond the capabilities of a large commercial airliner flown by a novice pilot who prior had only flown small planes. Those who report it also report outragous claims like it flew right over them, no more than twenty-five feet, when in reality they would've been blown off the highway. Those who report seeing larger aircraft were likely influenced by reports on the attacks in New York.

We need a REAL investigation if we are ever to find out Becuase despite the evidence people would rather hear it from a politician than learn the facts themselves.\n\nJust look at the pictures of the hole people!\n\nFlight 77's radar stops near Ohio/Kentucky border and is the only one of the four hijacked planes that wasn't able to be tracked all the way. (Flight Explorer, Washington Post) \n\nPentagon crash happened right in the middle of the only section being renovated to bolster it against an attack which severely limited damage and loss of life. (USA Today, Army) \n\nGas station and hotel's security cameras recorded Pentagon crash, but FBI arrived within minutes and confiscated films. (CNN, National Geographic) The FBI still wont allow americans to see 83 of them. Surely one of them shows something.\n\nLive at Pentagon crash, CNN reporter says there's no evidence a plane crashed anywhere near the building. (CNN) \n\nStudent ID of Flight 77 hijacker reportedly found at Pentagon, still able to read his name on it. (9/11 Commission) This happened a lot that day....

I was less than a quarter mile away from the Pentagon and I was looking right at that plane--- normal commercial airliner--- when it went in. I'm usually all about the conspiracy theories but this one is bunk.  I smelled the jet fuel burning and saw the bits of plane fall from the sky along with people's clothes from their exploded luggage.

People are going to believe what they want to believe.  I saw a plane crash into a building.  Was it real or was it created by Hollywood.  The only people that really know are the one's that were there.  Al Qaida has taken resposibility for the 911 attacks. So? Who do you think did it?

The question is interesting and one of the more plausible conspiracy theories, although the more we learn about what the passengers did on UA93 it is likely that it crashed as a result of the takeover attempt.\n\nOn some of the voice recordings one of the hi-jackers is saying "do it, put it down now" as the fight reached the cockpit.\n\nI have no doubt however that it was already being followed by fighters and that it would have been shot down before it reached a populated area.\n\nThat has NOTHING to do with Bush being ruthless, it is about a sensible response given what had just happened to the twin towers and the pentagon.\n\nI would expect any leader of any country to take similar action to prevent 200 tons of aircraft smashing into and killing up to 3000 people.\n\nIn the UK we know that the RAF has a standby flight ready at all times to take down any hi-jacked airliner on its way to do a similar thing in London, and it can be on station over the capital in minutes.\n\nIt would be the right thing to do.\n\nOh and by the way, Bush was'nt at the White House that day, and its not his property (he is a temporary resident) so it wasnt a personal danger to him or his property.

there is no plane, i don't know what ure talking about. \n\nthere is something looks like a missile there, that's it. \n\nthe explosion looks like a missile too.\n\nif we had been left to ourselves, we all would have concluded it was a missile from those videos. \n\nso why isn't it still a missile?\n\nfor me it is.\n\ni've also asked questions about this, eg http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=Aj88bu8qapSC7kpafAnQHnAjzKIX?qid=1006051828435

That's a reasonable conclusion from the available evidence, but since he's quite dead, there's no way to be sure.\n\nBut it appears that the primary targets for the two planes heading to Washington were the White House and the Congress.  The Pentagon appears to have been a secondary, but more recognizable, target.

lucky2bealive, I don't want to disagree with you but I don't believe you are going to find anywhere in the historical records that Bin Laden claimed responsibility for the 9/11 bombings. What he has done is praise the matyrs of that event. However, there would be more clarity and the issue can be put to bed finally if the government gave us the names of all the people that died in the various events. Where are the planes that crashed? Do you really believe that a building like the Pentagon would have cameras that are intermittent and take pictures every 7/8 seconds. Come.. Come. We are talking about the most technologically advanced country in the world. Something smells fishy and the stench cannot be dispersed until the Government come clean. Have you ever seen reports of the examination of  the so called crash sites?

The official story regarding the plane that crashed into the Pentagon is that it was totally consumed by burning fuel and left no wreckage. One of the many things that happened 9/11/2001 that had never happened before or since. What really mystifies me though is how many dismiss the notion that their was some government involvement in what transpired on 9/11 without even considering an alternative scenario other than the one the government has given.

If you mean was the government story about what happened a hoax? Absolutely. But the event itself was all too real ... 3000 people and several buildings are gone.\n\nFor a fantastic documentary exploring many of the questions about what happened 9-11, watch Loose Change.\nGoogle video has it here for free:\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8260059923762628848

Try this link. It will reveal and answer a lot of questions you may have.\n\nhttp://fpiarticle.blogspot.com/2006/04/911-in-plane-site.html\n\nI dont believe a plane crashed into the pentagon. Flight 93 was made up. The planes that crashed into the WTC's were not commercial airlines. There is no proof! With all the video footage... you never really see the commercial logos. It's all bogus.\n\nThink about it. Why would the government do this? To create FEAR! This is the new era. There is no more cold war. No more bad super power. So where does the government turn for war? To an invisible word called "Terrorist". The war on terrorism is only a few words. \n\nFear makes me people more controllable. They spend more. They submit to anything that will protect them. And in exchange for it all is our freedom.

This is one of those nutty conspiracy theories.  The satellite photo was takeng the day after the attacks.  It doesn't show much of anything that you can distiguish in any detail.  For all we know, they could have hauled debris away that might have hampered rescue efforts.  Who knows how much of the debris might be in the building?\n\nThe second photo was taken 3 days after the attacks.  Again, debris could have been removed to safety reaons, etc. And it isn't a vgood picture.  Debris could be in areas not shown on the photo like the courtyard area.\n\nThen of course there is the security tape showing the crash.  There is nothing new here, this is just someone who has too much time on their hands.\n\nAdded:\n\nYour question was "try this out and comment".  You posted a link to inconclusive photos that could be interpreted any number of ways.  You try to point to some vague conspiracy and a cover up with no supporting evidence.  How do you think people are supposed to react?  You ask where the wreckage is and I provide a number of plausible explanations that you chose not to ignore and not to analyze.

I actually believe the fourth plane (United 93) was in fact shot down.  I don't believe the passengers brought the plane down. I don't think anyone is going to know for sure for a long, long time and I think the story about the passengers bringing the plane down was circulated because America desparately needed a hero to believe in then. \n\nThat said, the SOP's have been changed, because the SOP's back then were not adequate. If you drive down VA Rte 110 which goes very close to the Pentagon, you may catch a glimpse of anti-aircraft weaponry placed around the facility.  And the response time for a fighter jet to get in the air is a lot lower. We had never had a situation like that before and we got caught unprepared.
