So where is the plane?

Nope, I just came back from Roswell the other day, better try Area 51.

You mean that ssmall white blob only visible in the first frame? IMO the tail is not visible since the object, which could pass for a tail fin, in visible the successive frames. As far as I could see the only change looking strictly at the right hand side of the sequence is a white blob at the beginning.

Good Lord. How can anyone believe this drivel?

[Wphile]

Frankly, I have never had much respect for World Net Daily. This certainly solidifies that suspicion.

[Texas_Jarhead]

Look, I am in no way convinced that the jet didn't crash into the Pentagon. But I find the visual evidence interesting if nothing else. BTW, I am familiar with demolitions and explosives. Seen much first hand. The fact of the matter is the destructive power of a 100+ story building falling down is an order of magnitude greater than a jet crash which is essentially to a big bomb.

Geoff Metcalf also predicted dire emergencies stemming from Y2K. Geoff is a good man, but he needs to use more common sense about this wierdo stuff.

The Pentagon was not heavily damaged because it had just been retrofitted to withstand terrorist bomb attacks. Why is this so hard to understand? A commercial airliner is not designed to penetrate reinforced buildings. It's relatively fragile and light weight. It's like a thin metal ballon filled with fuel. When they crash head-on into something hard, there's not going to be much left that's recognizable.

The tail is the dark, flat-topped triangle,seen at the top of the right post, that is gone in the next frame.

The white blob is the dust and/or smoke from sliding along the ground.

Notice in the second frame, the dust now goes right up to the explosion, where previously it was green grass.

Exactly. If the plane didn't hit the pentagon, where did it go? Where did all those people on the plane go? Are they sunning it up in the Carribean in some pseudo-witness protection program? Oh, and as if this will come as a shock, this same thread is getting lots of play over on DU, but don't bother checking it out unless you too believe that the Mossad flew this plane by remote control into the Pentagon, or that a bomb FROM INSIDE the pentagon caused the damage. This makes me want to puke, and anyone who could doubt the haunting phone calls from that plane before its flight ended should really question their sanity.

George Metcalf? Who is GM...Nuff said!

[Texas_Jarhead]

Ahhh. I see what you're talkin about. Thanks. I was looking more to the right.

[RippleFire]

I know someone who could tell Geoff where the plane is, but she would have to kill him afterwards.

[unamused]

[RichInOC]

What a way to go!

[spoiler2]

I dont know the exposure rate of the security cam, but at a frame per second or so, the plane slid across the entire grass area and exploded before the next frame.

Once you start to control the frame indicator, move it quickly between the four frames, to speed it up to real time, and you get an impression of the true speed and impact.

[buzzcat]

The Pentagon is built like a brick bleep-house. Several circles of it amazingly withstood the assault. I think that it was constructed with the possibility of an assault in mind. The area of impact (windows and such) was shored-up for anti-terrorism attacks a while back. It is low, and squat, and thick. I think the better conspiracy question that should be asked is "Where the heck were those legendary SAMs that are supposedly stationed on top of the White House??" arrgh.

[tallhappy]

I have to go with George Metcalf on this one. I looked at the MSNBC footage twice and I can't see the plane. All you can see is exploding fuel. Does any one have an explanation for why the plane doesn't show up on the Pentagon's own camera?

Last month a picture of the Japan trip showed Collin Powell and Laura Bush sitting next to a headless Japanese woman and an luncheon. ( Check it out)

The equivalent to this article here about where is the plane would be a serious aricle about the possibility of a headless person entertaining Powell and Mrs. Bush in Japan.

It seems a lot of people are getting very weird, and losing it a bit.

[Texas_Jarhead]

There ya go..

"Frankly, I have never had much respect for World Net Daily."

Well I did, but with crap like this, I'm losing it fast.

1. The first satellite image shows the section of the building that was hit by the Boeing. In the image, the second ring of the building is also visible. It is clear that the aircraft only hit the first ring. The four interior rings remain intact. They were only fire-damaged after the initial explosion.

I would imagine the pentagon was built to withstand a nuclear explosion, and was quite surpsrised at the extent of the damage. If you have ever visited the Pentagon, and I have, you would agree that photos just do not give you the scale of how large this place is.

"Geoff Metcalf also predicted dire emergencies stemming from Y2K."

Y2K was a whole 'nuther ball of wax. Anyone who looked at the Naval War College's Y2K website knew that the gov't was taking it very seriously -- and the hardened bunkers they built and stocked with supplies in the event the worst-case scenarios played out is solid evidence of just how seriously they took it.

Now, that said, this tripe is such garbage that I cannot fathom why WND is running with it. The mind boggles. It's almost as if they're trying to stack the deck against themselves in their current pitched battle for Congressional press-pass recognition status. At the same time they're insisting that they're serious journalists, they publish this embarassing horse manure not even worthy of tabloid "journalism". WTF were they thinking???
