9/11 Pentagon Crash Video

[KingVoyeur]

They just released video from security cameras around the Pentagon showing American Airlines Flight 77 crashing into the building.

Read the story and watch the video here. (http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/05/16/pentagon.video/index.html)

Why did it take so long for this to get released?

Does it show any more than we've already seen in the past? I see a building and then I see a fireball.

[Natalie]

Right....I don't see how that's any startling difference from what was released before. And who are these conspiracy theorists who believe the Pentagon wasn't hit? Where have I been? What do they think happened, someone decided that morning to do some remodeling without informing the people working in the path of demo????

[Meathead]

The conspiracy theorists aren't saying that the Pentagon wasn't hit, they're saying it wasn't a plane, but rather a missile. They're positing that the US government did this deliberately to solidify their terror stranglehold on the American people.

So . . . where do they say the missing plane and people are? If it was a missile, then where did American Airlines Flight 77 go? The people on board?

Gitmo, maybe?

Besides, anyone who works for the government knows they can't move/think/act that fast.

Yeah, that was my favorite response to the whole "LAPD framed OJ" conspiracy. Hell, they can't even get traffic out of Dodger stadium without a 4hr backup, yet they managed to throw together a huge conspiracy to frame a black sports star? :lol:

Personally, I am more inclined to believe flight 93 was shot down, and they are allowing the everyday hero theme to be perpetuated rather than they faked an attack on the pentagon.

Omi:dunno:

The thing that boils my noodle is this:
The Pentagon is one of the most important buildings in the western world (rightly or wrongly) and should be blistering with all sorts of security measures. Yet only one CCTV camera saw this? Is that even plausible?

Actually, that is something I've thought about a lot over the years. Yes, it would make a great story if the people did fight back in a selfless act for the greater good but I have wondered if it wasn't painted that way in an effort to help the surviving family, hell, it even helped the surviving nation.

The Pentagon may not want all of there camera angles revealed to the public. Also, perhaps cameras are more focused on the security perimeter and smaller focus targets, like doorways, rather than the side of the building?

As far as Flight 93 goes, I too believe we shot it down. If so, I would find it comforting that we defended ourselves. I would be worried if we knew a fourth plane was a flying weapon, knew it was over an empty field, knew it was targeting an important building (like the White House or Capitol), and did nothing to stop it.

Actually, several cameras, including ones from a hotel across the street captured it, this is just the video they released.
