Ray,

I hadn't seen that particular site before, but I have seen some of the speculation that it was a different (smaller?) plane than the one hijacked that hit the Pentagon. IMO, a good theory has to explain the facts without creating inconsistencies that don't make sense. The biggest problem with the different plane theory is the missing 757. With every flight controller in the world watching flight paths, a 757 strikes me rather big to hide.

Did it get blown up over the water? I'd think a whole lot of folks would have noticed the blip on their screens suddenly missing.

Did it land in another country? I think the same reasoning applies, plus hiding the jet in someone's two car garage might raise a few eyebrows.

I also can't think of any advantage to making a substitution, so it probably makes the most sense that the plane that was hijacked was the same one that hit the building. Of more interest is how it hit the building. I recall seeing some photos of the crash that looked like the plane was exploding before it actually hit. Even so, the film the photos were taken from were doctored by the CIA before being released to the public, which makes it hard to tell what really happened.

I think the two most likely explanations are that the plane that hit the Pentagon, and the one that crashed in before getting to Washington, were either shot down or were rigged with explosives before the hijacker set eyes on them. At the rate the 9/11 Commission is going we'll probably never know for sure.
