There are also stories that there was no possible way that a just plane with all the huge parts could never have been exploded into as many small pieces as this one as well as the one that hit in Pennsylvania. There has never been a crash where this has happened before. There are always many interesting conspiracy theories about everything. All you can do is read and study what you can and then make up your own mind. The biggest problem is that no matter what you may read from all of the various news sources cannot be trusted because they have their own political agendas and biases.

There were two people I knew who were on that plane. It's possible the terrorists were trying to hit the White House. But, that whole piece of real estate is heavily blanketed with trees. It's also possible that the plane which crashed in Pennsylvania had a target of Camp David. Projecting the flight path of that plane would bring it directly into that area.
Still, it doesn't matter. My two friends' mortal remains were removed from inside the Pentagon and I attended their funeral. All the rest I chalk up to idle academic speculation.

True, not to mention that coward terrorists must have had their nervous system in high gear, which have made them unable to pay close attention to what the were looking for. All this conspiracy theories have one very important point against them: they forget what the media and the Democrats did to Nixon just for Watergate. Is completely impossible and moronic to even think that the media and the Democrats could have been so quiet if they could have the least proof linking the government to a conspiracy.

-----Pentagon Crash Was Typical----
It is well known that high speed plane crashes result in great destruction to the plane and its occupants. This is a simple textbook fact. At the same time, the Pentagon crash did result in many larger pieces that were well documented (see below)

----Body Parts-----
Workers from the fire & police dept & especially the medical examiners office found lots of body parts. The media photographed some of these events. All body parts went to the medical examiners office where DNA analysis was performed & the results matched to family members. Not all the passengers could be identified, but many were.

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

(scroll down after clicking)

Anyone can see that the larger pieces are of a plane. Couple this with the eyewitness accounts below & it's irrefutable that it was a plane. (As opposed to the theory that it just disappeared somewhere)

---------Debris & body parts--------
Blast expert Allyn E. Kilsheimer was the first structural engineer to arrive at the Pentagon after the crash and helped coordinate the emergency response. "It was absolutely a plane, and I'll tell you why," says Kilsheimer, CEO of KCE Structural Engineers PC, Washington, D.C. "I saw the marks of the plane wing on the face of the building. I picked up parts of the plane with the airline markings on them. I held in my hand the tail section of the plane, and I found the black box." Kilsheimer's eyewitness account is backed up by photos of plane wreckage inside and outside the building. Kilsheimer adds: "I held parts of uniforms from crew members in my hands, including body parts. Okay?" (from Pop Mechanics Website)

-----Numerous eye-witnesses----
Dozens, if not hundreds, 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]

The strange flight pattern is expected with the kind of situation the plane crew was in.

And I believe your story.

Of course, people are ignorant and refute everything
