The "Where's the Boeing" conspiracy tin-foil has been debunked by a number of sources. Bill, I really appreciate your posting sources to support your position, rather than the juvenile name-calling that passes for debate among some posters here. Thanks. I read all the linked sites that you presented and still see inconsistencies in the story. For instance: Despite the appearances of exterior photographs, the Boeing 757-200 did not "only damage the outside of the Pentagon." It caused damage to all five rings (not just the outermost one) after penetrating a reinforced, 24-inch-thick outer wall. Contradicted by: Exterior photographs are misleading because they show only the intact roof structures of the outer rings and don't reveal that the plane penetrated all the way to the ground floor of the third ring....It penetrated three of the five concentric rings of the building Both statements are on the same site: snopes2.com And this: As eyewitnesses described and photographs demonstrate, the hijacked airliner dived so low as it approached the Pentagon that it actually hit the ground first, thereby dissipating much of the energy that might otherwise have caused more extensive damage to the building...(From another account:) It slammed into the side of the Pentagon at an estimated 350 miles per hour after first hitting the helipad... snopes2.com Yet, even a photo on the same website shows the helipad with putting green-quality turf. In no photo before the lawn was graveled over for the heavy trucks, could I find the described gouge. Many clear lawn shots here: asile.org Click on 'Pentagon: Find the Boeing!' I am not a wild-eyed conspiracy theorist. Although I enjoyed your conspiracy satire (Boeing is just a mongrel lackey for the Bush/NASA/Honeywell/Campbell's Soup(!)/Popular Mechanics magazine joint venture driven to keeping us down, man! Funny stuff...)I believe we actually landed on the moon. Its just that when my eyes cannot see what my ears are hearing, a certain cognitive dissonance results.
