Did a plane actually hit the pentagon?

Answer 1

I can assure you that it made a helluva noise and a very big hole.

Answer 2

There is strong evidence to suggest it was a Douglas A-3 Skywarrior armed with a missile. One thing we can be certain about; it was not a Boeing 757, as our government claims. Listen to this retired General, He says, "The Plane does not fit the hole; so what did hit the Pentagon...?"

One might expect to see three holes in the pentagon, one for the main body and two more for each engine. The engine and engine parts were found outside of the building, they never penetrated the building thus no hole was created by them. The deep 18 foot hole that was created was most probably made by an on board missile and not the aircraft itself. A radiation expert claims high-radiation readings near the Pentagon indicates depleted uranium (DU) munitions may have been used.

Witnesses say, the military secretly had Raytheon refit a A-3 Skywarrior with new jet engines, a missile, and a Global Hawk guidance system, just prior to 9/11. Coincidentally, five key executives of Raytheon went missing on 9/11. The official word is they died on hijacked planes.

The Jet engine(s) found may be key to identifying what type of aircraft hit the Pentagon. Both the jet engine housing as well as a "front end rotor head" have been identified as belonging to a Pratt & Whitney JT8D jet engine. The P&W JT8D engine has been used on the smaller Boeing 727 as well as a retrofit for the A-3 Skywarior. Two P&W JT8D's do not provide enough power to get a Boeing 757 off the ground much less sufficient thrust to perform the maneuvers the aircraft in question performed.

A photograph of a cracked windshield found at the crash site strongly resembles the top canopy glass found on the Skywarrior: No windows of this shape are found on a Boeing 757.

The landing gear is one part found in the crash site that may be linked to a Boeing 757. It could also be a part that was retrofitted on an A-3 Skywarrior, since the wheels would most likely need to be replaced with something still available.

The following geometric analysis determines the aircraft that hit the Pentagon is under 85 feet long and therefore too small to be a Boeing 757, which is over 155 feet long.

------------------------------------------
This video, obtained by a public interest group, shows an aircraft hiding behind a call box. You can see its top rear fin and its exhaust trail, so you know it's back there. See video: Time = 00:25. Also note the bright white secondary explosion.

To figure out how long the aircraft is, that is hiding behind the call box; we can measure it by comparing it to surrounding objects of know sizes and with the help of a little geometry we can calculate the size of the aircraft.

The distances can be scaled from a satellite image of the pentagon, where each of the five walls is known to be 921.6 ft in length.

The call box measurement was scaled from the video above, where the patrol car is know to be about. 16.5 ft in length.

The aircrafts length will be a ratio between the call box of 2.5 ft. is to 28.8 ft ( distance of camera to call box) as "The aircraft" is to 691.2 ft. (distance of camera to the aircraft). The resultant length will need to be multiplied by the "square root of 2 " (I.414) to take into account the 45 degree approach angle of the plane.

Plug in the numbers:
2.5' / 28.8' = "X" / 691.2'
2.5' x 691.2' / 28.8' = "X"
60' = "X"
60' x 1.414 = 84.84 feet maximum aircraft length.

A Boeing 757 is 155 ft. 3 in.
A Douglas A-3 Skywarrior is 76 ft. 4 in. *
A Global Hawk RQ-4 is 44 ft. 4.75 in. *
An Air launched Cruise Missile is 20 ft. 9 in.

Answer 3

Yes, a plane hit the pentagon. I watched CNN live from the Pentagon that day in my HS chem class, and there were definitely plane parts scattered all over. Anyone who tells you otherwise is brainwashed.

Answer 4

What I know for sure is that my best friend died/disappeared on that flight. If the plane didn't hit the Pentagon, then where would he be?
Jupiter?

Answer 5

Yes. Barbara Olson, wife of then Atty. General Ted Olson was on that plane. She was on the cell phone with her husband telling him everything that was happening. There is no doubt....the plane hit the Pentagon, she was killed.

Answer 6

I was living there when it happened and sure looked like it. If a plane didn't hit it, I would like to know what did that could cause such a catastrophe and then have someone try to explain what happened to all the people that were on that plane.

Answer 7

Yes but it evaporated like all 100 ton airplanes do when they crash. They're made of very thin newspaper like material that poofs like a magic trick leaving no evidence that it was ever there.

Be a good little American and stop asking questions.

Answer 8

Why don't you ask the several hundred eyewitnesses who watched it happen?

Of course it was a plane!

Answer 9

A business associates parents were on that plane.

Answer 10

nope....something ate lots of beans and let out lots of gas which made millions of people go nuts thinking a dove flew into the pentagon.

Answer 11

On 911 it did. Is there a resent plane crash I don't know about?
