Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2007 10:28 am Post subject: CNN clip reports no evidence a plane crashed at the Pentagon |
|
|
This footage from CNN was broadcast only once. Unfamiliar of course with Boeing 757-200 planes that are designed so that their 124 ft 10 in wings automatically fold back neatly and squeeze into 16ft holes when required, the reporter stated categorically that he saw no evidence of a plane having crashed at the Pentagon on 9/11. No surprise therefore that we never saw the footage aired again! I wonder whether the reporter still works for CNN? If he does, no doubt his new job is one where he does not need to trust his own eyes.

When asked about this I'm pretty sure he said that his words were twisted/taken out of context. What he actually said/meant was that he could not see any evidence on the lawn not that there was no evidence that a plane had crashed. |

hmmm.......the entire pentagon seems a little odd.
if the us government were perfectly okay with flying two airliners into the wtc why were the not okay with doing it to the pentagon?
why once you have hijacked a third aircraft after flying two into buildings already do you opt for some other means? |

But one must take into account that the Pentagon is a highly re-inforced (fortified) structure. There is a good chance that a commercial aircraft, with its carbon composit nose cone would not have the bunker busting force, as that of a cruise missile. What do you think? |

That is incorrect. Here's the transcript of the video at: http://thewebfairy.com/911/pentagon/index.html
AMIE MCINTYRE: From my close-up inspection, there's no evidence of a plane having crashed anywhere near the Pentagon.
The only site, is the actual side of the building that's crashed in. And as I said, the only pieces left that you can see are small enough that you pick up in your hand. There are no large tail sections, wing sections, fuselage, nothing like that anywhere around which would indicate that the entire plane crashed into the side of the Pentagon and then caused the side to collapse.
Even though if you look at the pictures of the Pentagon you see that the floors have all collapsed, that didn't happen immediately. It wasn't until almost about 45 minutes later that the structure was weakened enough that all of the floors collapsed.
I quoted Mcintyre's words precisely. No doubt he has under pressure tried to spin his original report differently. But his original words speak for themselves. |

I don't have a fixed view on what happened at the Pentagon but to answer johndoe's point, perhaps an airliner wasn't used simply because it would have been seen by the Pentagon's evidently sophisticated defence system as 'unfriendly' and would have been automatically shot down by an unconscious missile. Clearly, that would not do. |

McIntyre seized on his use of the word "near" to try to undo the damage his honest report did. He says he was remarking that a plane had not hit "near" the Pentagon and that he meant he was was referring to a possible crash not "at" the Pentagon but "near" it. His subsequent words about the pieces etc. render this "explanation" totally false but that is the way of things with 9/11. Any old * will do. |
