The crash
Detected close Dulles Airport, west of Washington at 9 h 32, the plane was bound on the protected area includes the White House the Capitol and the Pentagon. Air traffic control warned the President (in this case Vice President Cheney, George Bush then being in Florida) the approach of this unknown aircraft. Dick Cheney stood safely in the PEOC (Emergency Operations Center chair), a bunker built in the basement of the East Wing of the White House and most staff evacuating the building. At 9 h 20, the vice president was joined by Norman Mineta, Secretary of Transportation. Was a young assistant vice president regularly informed of the approach of unknown aircraft. While it was reported only 15 km away, Dick Cheney replied to the colleague who was worried that "orders were unchanged.




Shortly after the aircraft impact, around 8 pm 58, Dick Cheney had a conversation with George W. Bush, flying on Air Force One to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, and the decision to allow hunting to shoot down hijacked civilian flights was taken. At his hearing, the same day that Mineta, before the Kean Commission, General Arnold confirmed that NORAD had not received the order before 10 pm Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense stationed at the Pentagon (but NOT in the wing, facing the Potomac), said he had been briefed on the attacks against the Twin Towers 9 am to 22 - or 36 minutes after the first impact - and not at all regarding the hijacking of Flight 77.

In addressing the urban area, the aircraft entered a dive in a spin over two thousand yards ending with a flight at low altitude of several hundred meters. After completing this loop, the plane struck the only sector of the complex that was under renovation. Ongoing work on the point of completion consisted mainly in strengthening the structure of the facade.

Conspiracy Theories

The first images of the Pentagon that were transmitted only showed little aircraft debris. The front lawn of the Pentagon appeared to be relatively spared and the damage visible on the front did not appear for some match those of an airliner.

other hand, several lamps were uprooted along the path of the aircraft, a missile or absence of air makes it difficult to explain.

Some observers, like Thierry Meyssan in his book The Big Lie then Pentagate, claim to find inconsistencies in the versions released by U.S. authorities and accepted by the international community. They provided a different explanation of this day, which some of them would reveal evidence of a conspiracy within the U.S. administration and / or its military.

For Thierry Meyssan and some American dissidents as Jimmy Walter, no plane crashed into the Pentagon. The hypothesis of a missile is advanced and seems to correspond better with the actual damage inflicted on the Pentagon: a hole five to six meters wide through the first building over which the facade collapsed thirty-two minutes after impact, the first picture does not show the collapse. The aircraft broke three buildings (six walls), leaving a hole seven feet in diameter at the outlet of the third building.

Thierry Meyssan's work is strongly criticized by some journalistic French and American communities but met a strong interest in other countries. Critics T. Meyssan accuse him of having almost exclusively used the Internet and not having achieved "real" journalistic work on the ground - which some claim was impossible because of the blackout from the authorities. Those who share his point of view argue that it has done a comparison of information and demonstrated their lack of consistency both between themselves and with other research information and scientific analysis on facts.



For members of the 9 / 11 Truth Movement, the color of flames contradicts the official theory, they argue that the color should be more yellow Orange if combustion was kerosene.
However, the plume coming out of the Pentagon crash is from a different than the Twin Towers (structure more resistant, full). While plumes emerging from the twin towers are a more airy, a little later (~ 1s).


Planes September 11 - Chapter Bonus Loose Change

An association of professional pilots requested and received records from the black box from Flight 77 and concluded at the end of a simulation carried out independently on the basis of these data, that Flight 77 could not have physically struck the Pentagon, but had just flown over. These drivers do not yet say why the other technicians analyze the records differently, where is the plane with all its passengers, why the victims of the plane were found in the Pentagon, and why many elements of the aircraft are also found in the building.



Proponents of a government plot claim that some video evidence has been withheld. The videos from surveillance cameras have been filming the crash into the Pentagon and the last mile of the journey likely the aircraft were captured that day by FBI agents, federal investigative agency with expertise in terrorism, including the Citgo gas station, located near the Pentagon and Sheraton Hotel, also adjacent to the Pentagon. If this is not unique in the fact, for several years, these videos have been preserved as evidence in preparation for trial, and the U.S. government was accused by supporters of a government conspiracy theory to provide only two short sequences from poor quality Parking surveillance cameras. Following the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, the full videos seized during the investigation were made public.
