how come we have no pictures of a plain flying into the pentagon?

Question

look all around you theres not 1 picture of a plain flying into the pentagon nor is there a picture of a plain after the crash

why?

Answer 1

The plane was flying too fast to be caught by the few surveillance cameras there were pointed correctly.

However, don't get hung up on this as if it proves something. Dozens of people stuck on I-395 saw the low-flying plane & this is well-documented in the press. The following is a direct quote from Wikipedia. The footnotes give you the source in media.

The Pentagon is surrounded by Interstate 395 and Washington Boulevard, on the side where the impact occurred. Steve Riskus witnessed the plane crash into the Pentagon, as he was driving along Washington Boulevard and stopped to take photographs moments after the impact.[21] Mary Lyman, who was on I-395, saw the airplane pass over at a "steep angle toward the ground and going fast" and then saw the cloud of smoke from the Pentagon.[22] Jim Sutherland, also on I-395, witnessed the plane pass 50 feet overhead, heading in a straight line into the Pentagon.[23] Mary Ann Owens, of Gannett News Service, was stuck in traffic near the Pentagon when she saw the airplane pass 50 to 75 feet overhead and crash into the Pentagon.[24] Another witness, Daryl Donley, saw the crash as he was driving on Washington Boulevard. Among debris that was scattered as the plane crashed, he found a "scorched green oxygen tank marked 'Cabin air. Airline use'" on the road.[24] Mr. Donley also had a camera with him, and took some of the first photographs after the crash.[25] USA Today reporter Mike Walter, while driving on Washington Boulevard, also witnessed the crash.[26] He recounted to CNN, "...looked out my window. I saw this plane, the jet, American Airlines jet coming. And I thought, this doesn't add up. It's really low. And I saw it. It just went — I mean, it was like a cruise missile with wings, it went right there and slammed right into the Pentagon. Huge explosion."[13]
Lloyd England's taxicab hit by a lightpole as American Airlines Flight 77 passed low over Washington Boulevard and crashed into the Pentagon.
Terrance Kean, who lived in a nearby apartment building, heard the noise of loud jet engines, glanced out his window, and saw "very, very large passenger jet." He watched "it just plow right into the side of the Pentagon. The nose penetrated into the portico. And then it sort of disappeared, and there was fire and smoke everywhere."[27] Terry Morin, who worked at the nearby Navy Annex, saw the airliner pass 100 feet overhead, moments before it crashed into the Pentagon.[28] Passengers aboard a Washington Metro train heading to Ronald Reagan National Airport also saw the crash and explosion, including Allen Cleveland who explained [he] "looked out the window to see a jet heading down toward the Pentagon."[14] AP reporter Dave Winslow recounted, "I saw the tail of a large airliner. ... It plowed right into the Pentagon."[29] Tim Timmerman, who is a pilot himself, noticed American Airlines markings on the aircraft as he saw it hit the Pentagon.[30] Marine Commander Mike Dobbs, who worked at the Pentagon, was on an upper level of the outer ring, looking out the window when he saw crash.[23] Other drivers on Washington Boulevard, Interstate 395, and Columbia Pike, as well as people in nearby locations such as Pentagon City, Crystal City also witnessed the crash.[22]

Also, there are numerous photographs of large pieces of the plane, many of these were published in the newspapers. Here’s a nice picture:

Answer 2

Sorry I don't have time to click on your links but the question still remains. The security cameras at the Pentagon would have picked this up, but all security camera tapes were confiscated, is what I read. I did see this one which showed some kind of blur but again, the impact crater was a hole that showed no signs of wings having struck the Pentagon wall. Perhaps no security camera was at the right angle to pick this up, but then why no statement attesting to this? And I have heard no plausible explanation of how a loser/poor performer on a flight simulator could put a large jet into a steep dive and level off only a few yards above the ground at over 400 mph to score such a bullseye when seasoned veteran pilots admit they could not have done that. Either the power of Allah is no trifle or the terrorist pilot lucked out big time. The thing is, given the results, it seems they were all pretty damn sure they would hit their targets. Except for that crew mutiny that downed the fourth hijacked airliner. I make no conclusions except for the nagging belief there is more to all of this than we know.

1. When the plane that crashed into the Pentagon got there, it was going so fast, and no cameras were pointed in that direction, that could do the movie camera bit fast enough to catch it. Tons of pictures exist of the second plane to crash into WTC because of cameras pointed up there after the mess from the first plane.

2. After the plane crashed, there was big fire explosion ... the plane did not survive the crash.

Look at the wreckage site pictures of the 4th plane, where they passengers tried to take the plane back from the hijackers ... that plane ended up in a nose dive from high altitude, not much evidence there that what we had before was a plane.

In ordinary plane crashes, it is not unusual that the wreckage is not obviously including parts of a plane ... normally in a plane crash, something goes wrong in the skies, and pieces of the plane fall off, the whole plane is not consumed by the fire.

We do see a lot of crashes where the mess afterwards it is obvious that it used to be a plane. This is usually because when the plane in trouble, they dump fuel before trying to land, and pretty fast the fire department has foam going over the plane, plus in the crash, many planes hitting stuff on the ground that is is kind of soft, like trees or a corn field.

I do not believe any of the conspiracy theories.

There were 9-11 phone calls from passengers and stewardesses on all 4 planes. They identified what seats the hijackers were traveling in, they identified themselves, what flight they were on, gave info about the hijacking.

I think the conspiracy theorists fall into several categories

* al Queda has cells in USA for different purposes ... one purpose is blow up stuff ... one purpose is gather intelligence to help others blow up stuff (like elementary schools) ... and another purpose is to do propaganda to undermine support for the government

* there are people with different degrees of expertise, spounting off about topics that require OTHER expertise than what they really have

Remember when the Minnesota bridge collapsed?

Almost at the same time there was an overpass in California that collapsed ... what caused the California collapse was a tanker truck filled with gasoline crashed into the supports for the bridge, and the fire melted the concrete and steel, and the bridge fell down ... well the amount of gasoline in one of those tanker trucks is much less than the fuel on the planes ion 9/11 ... if the heat from a tanker truck exploding is enough to collaps a bridge in California, it sure is enough to melt steel beams inside a skyscraper after a plane crashes in

Answer 4

A plain what?
Do you know the plane was flying at 600 mph and the security camera takes a picture once a second. So you try to take a picture of something only a hundred feet or so in front of you that is moving at 600 miles an hour and you are just randomly snapping pictures at a fixed rate, I think looking at that, its surprising there is any picture.
As far as no parts of a plane. Once again it was moving at 600 mph, the walls of the pentagon is twice as thick as a normal 5 story steel and concrete building (thanks to FDR). The plane does just disappear, you can find videos of testing nuclear power plant structures where they crash planes at even slower speed into the concrete and it completely disappears.

Answer 5

My office was less than a mile from the Pentagon. If you are familiar with that area of Arlington, it's a maze of highways and office buildings, plus Reagan National Airport. The reason that videos/pictures were taken in NYC is that the city is filled with tourists with their cameras - all you see around 8-9 am in Arlington are lots and lots of people commuting.

Since the Pentagon is a military building, sort of isolated from other buildings in the area. It's bordered by the river, surrounded by gigantic parking lots, and adjacent to highways and the cemetary. It's very easy to block off access to video vultures and rubberneckers by closing off the roads. The area of the Pentagon that was hit was located on the southwest corner near where the helicopters would land.

And the military take care of their own. The building was repaired using the same granite from the same quarry in NH that was used for the original walls.

Answer 6

There were parts found at the Pentagon, unfortunately, some didnt match the parts found in the jet that crashed...

Others quoted cell phone calls... :Personal cell phones wont work at the altitude they were flying .... Got any ideas on that one anti conspiracy theory laughers?

I have seen a picture of the jet just before it crashed into the tower... There was a white explosion ahead of the jet however...

If the buildings collasped because of structural failure. Why did the adjacent smaller building collaspe exactly like the towers, imploding in on itself like demo charges.. Im still waiting for an answer....

Having said that, Im not sure, but I am sure I wouldnt put it past Bush, Cheney and the PNAC to have set the whole thing up.. . Would it hurt to reopen the investigations so that these questions amoung many others can be answered..?.

Answer 7

Because no camera except the traffic ones were on the scene at the time. they only shoot by movement and the plane was moving too fast. The side of the pentagon is a stone wall 3 ft thick. The plane was travelling at 500 mph + There was wreckage but the plane was pulverized hitting the building.

Answer 8

A plain is a flat peice of land......
As for the "Plane," Frankly I don't walk arround with a camera waiting for plane crashes... There was security film of the impact, People on the ground who saw it, people at Arlington Cemetery who saw it fly over, & the radar tracks at the ATC. STOP THE X FILES BS ALREADY!!! It was a plane, It's a fact, the people are really dead, the remains were recovered as was the black boxes. There is also stills of the wreckage including airplane parts. Popular Mechanics Wrote a whole book called "Debunking the 911 myths." They proved all of this talk about missles and such is pure BS.

Answer 9

1] the walls of the pentagon are built of concrete, and the area it hit had been newly refurbished
2] most of the plane went so far into the building it was incinerated
3] several of the members of my church witnessed the plane overhead, and one was burned by the wave of heat which swept through the corriders
4] other friends who work in DC were part of the rescue efforts
5] what happened to all the people on board the plane, if it wasn't flown into the Pentagon?

Answer 10

Someone took 3 videos that should have caught the plane flying into the pentagon. Why????
Reports are that it was a 16' hole with no debris from the plane. The plane actually disintegrated and left behind identifiable bodies -----Right !
