[T]here's no reason to waste time on the guys in tin foil hats.

I disagree. The entertainment dividends are rich indeed.

The thing I've always wondered about the Pentagon getting hit on 9/11 is, where the hell was those pesky TV camera crews? I mean, they're all over the place when some jerk steals a car and leads the police on a high speed chase, but nowhere to be found when given an hours notice that a plane has been hijacked and is heading for DC? I wished they were there and we had more footage.

Don;
>>>The "Something besides and airplane hit the Pentagon" theory is not one I subscribe to. There is just plain too much evidence the theory flat refuses to address, or address with credibility, to take it seriously.

I just finished reading that site. It doesn't say that something OTHER than a jet hit the pentagon. It points to an F-16 ( It is a jet plane, single engine) and a missile fired just prior the jet's impact to assure penetration of the heavily steel reinforced concrete pentagon walls.

>>>There is photographic evidence of jumbo jet debris, and there are eye witness accounts of a jet hitting the building.

There is photographic evidence of jet debris (not specifically jumbo jet, besides that one "unchared section from the front upper fuselage that "identifies" the AA jet, note that there are many disputed photos that do not show that part early on but it appears later..also location and condition is controversial)

I have replied before after looking the pics, and I'll repeat my comments:

-- Yes I've seen these pics, thanks. I also noticed that the tire groove pattern does not match the one from the 757 photo.
6 groves on the 757(wider gap in center 3 on each side), vs 4 on the debris recovered. The hub does seem consistent with the 757 photo. But how many other jets use similar hubs if any?

To support the gov't theory, we need to see 2 sets of engines and the recovered parts to match the specs of a 757. How many other jet planes use these types of parts, and is it only one engine was found? any remains from the other? and does it match the specs of a 757? Looking at building pics and the initial damage done before the wall collapse, it is more consistent with a much smaller type of aircraft. Where are the black boxes? Has anyone checked for chemical residues?

I also find it hard to believe that the hijackers (with minimal flight training and no experience)would be so masterful in approaching the building with the wings parallel to the ground, and leave the lawn intact. Note the planes that hit the towers, videos/pics and how the planes were tilted by a great deal before impact and hitting close to the edge on one of them.

I also find it hard to imagine how the hijackers knew where exactly the recently renovated pentagon section was, and hit it right there after making a hard 270 degree turn instead of going straight and hitting the other side.

Yes the time line has a lot of holes in it too.

Who knows... maybe after 30 years we'll get the facts.-

A missile firing prior jet impact would assure penetration into the building.

Also take a look at the the news film on second WTC hit (first on the left scrolling down)
letsroll911.org
CNN/ABC (larger frames than above) thewebfairy.com

A serious objective investigation (completely unbiased from either political side right or left) is needed.

Maybe in 30-40 years we'll find out all that happened.
