What are the official answers that have already been provided to those questions? That's another good question. I can't find any official answer. Here's another good question. Of the five walls that a plane could attack on the Pentagon, why did the terrorist select the only wall that had been recently re-constructed using blast proof construction, blast resistant windows and other fortification? This information was clearly available in the public record and was written up in several magazines. Accordingly the pilot that crashed his jet there made a banking turn to line up with that wall...and the only portion of the building that was minimally inhabited as construction was just finishing up. A strike at the center Plaza would have been far more devastating one might think. Orca

You didn't reply to your own question: siliconinvestor.com The second one is a bit more challenging to answer. A couple possible answers are: 1. Just plain old dumb luck, that a guy who's instructor wouldn't let him land the Cessna trainer, just so happened to be able to steer a 757 right into the only fortified wall. Perhaps Jesus had a hand in it. 2. Somebody wanted to test the newly constructed wall to see how it would stand up to an attack, to learn how to fortify the next wall...and the rest of the Pentagon...into a truly hardened facility. What do you think? Orca
