You're welcome. And a good holiday to you too.

The only problem was that the witnesses to the Pentagon event used descriptive terms that were simply not applicable to the impression that a 757 would produce in such circumstances. I have yet to see one description that says "Oh my god!! It was HUGE! It was right THERE! Humongous! There was a deafening ROAR!" etc. THAT strikes me as very strange. A 757 produces those effects every time.

"At that moment I heard a very loud, quick whooshing sound that began behind me and stopped suddenly in front of me and to my left. In fractions of a second I heard the impact and an explosion. The next thing I saw was the fireball."

"I guess it was hitting light poles," said Milburn. "It was like a WHOOOSH whoosh, then there was fire and smoke, then I heard a second explosion."
