The mystery of what really happened 9/11 has never been answered: Explosive Detonation Eyewitness Accounts Indicate an Pentagon Attack Involved Explosive Detonation Many of the over 100 eyewitness accounts in Eric Bart's compilation recall characteristics of the explosion that accompanied the September 11th attack on the Pentagon that indicate the detonation of a powerful explosive device. Two such characteristics are: a sharp detonation wave and silvery flash the smell of cordite These characteristics cannot be explained by the rapid combusion of jet fuel. Flash and Detonation Wave Air Force Lt. Col. Marc Abshire -- from in his office on the D ring, near the eighth corrider It shot me back in my chair. There was a huge blast. I could feel the air shock wave of it. I didn't know exactly what it was. It didn't rumble. It was more of a direct smack. www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/metro/daily/sep01/attack.html Terry Morin, a former USMC aviator -- heard from the BMDO offices at the old Navy Annex I saw the flash and subsequent fireball rise approximately 200 feet above the Pentagon. There was a large explosion noise and the low frequency sound echo that comes with this type of sound. Associated with that was the increase in air pressure, momentarily, like a small gust of wind. For those formerly in the military, it sounded like a 2000lb bomb going off 1/2 mile in front of you. www.coping.org/911/survivor/pentagon.htm James S Robbins -- from office 1 1/2 miles from Pentagon There was a silvery flash, an explosion, and a dark, mushroom shaped cloud rose over the building. I froze, gaping for a second until the sound of the detonation, a sharp pop at that distance, shook me out of it. www.nationalreview.com/robbins/robbins040902.asp Jeff Anlauf -- from 14th floor of the Sheraton Hotel, located 1.6 mile from the explosion Then, about 5 seconds later, the whole hotel shook. I could feel it moving. www.leadertelegram.com/specialreports/attack/storydetail.asp?ID=7 Peter M. Murphy -- in Mr. Murphy's office on the fourth floor of the Pentagon's outermost ring, the E-Ring, overlooking the helo-pad At that instant, a tremendous explosion with what Mr. Murphy said was a noise "louder than any noise he had ever heard" shook the room. Mr. Murphy, who had been standing with his back to the window, was knocked entirely across the room, while Hogue was jolted into his office. www.mca-marines.org/Leatherneck/nov01pentagonarch.htm Mike Dobbs -- Everyone said there was a deafening explosion, but with the adrenaline, we didn't hear it. web.lexisnexis.com... Noel Sepulveda -- in parking lot, over one hundred feet from explosion For a brief moment, you could see the body of the plane sticking out from the side of the building. Then a ball of fire came from behind it. An explosion followed, sending Sepulveda flying against a light pole. www.jimroche.com/pentagon_hero.htm Master Sergeant Noel Sepulveda -- standing only 150 feet from the point of impact ... followed by an explosion; and the blast of the impact was so tremendous, that from his vantage point, it threw him backward over 100 feet slamming into a light pole causing him internal injuries. www.lulac.org/Issues/Resolve/2002/30%20Sepulveda.html SGT Dewey Snavelyles Fowler -- driving along Arlington's Quaker Lane Then we heard an explosion and the truck rocked back and forth. www.army.mil/soldiers/oct2001/features/aftermath.html Navy Capt. Charles Fowler -- heard from inside the Pentagon You could feel the building shake. You knew it was a major explosion. www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/metro/daily/sep01/attack.html 911research.wtc7.net
