How Can This Be?

I would think that in a building as important as the Pentagon, that they would have at least SOME cameras that would have caught the incident on tape whether or not they added more cameras at a later date. If one security camera from a building across the street or wherever it was could get at least one picture, I'm sure that many of the cameras that were in use that day at the Pentagon got a better shot than one stinking camera from a non related building across the street. And what about the cameras INSIDE the building. Are you trying to say that they didn't have a least one camera in the area where the plane came through the building? I think that's total nonsense. On this show, they were showing how they could follow a person around any part of the building where he/she were walking.

I know in the courthouse where I go every day, they have security cameras everywhere except the bathrooms. And this is only a county courthouse. You're not going to tell me that a Federal building isn't going to have a LOT more cameras than a single court house.

On another note, did you realize that the Pentagon has 4 zip codes? Boy that must be a large building!
Actually the Pentagon has six zip codes. The reason is so that each branch, plus the Secretary of Defense and The Joint Chiefs of Staff can have their own zip.
Ok Baggs, just a very rough estimate of a plane weighing in at 220,000 lbs traveling at 300 mph, were looking at more than 1 million pounds of force looking for somewhere to go. Airplanes are made to save weight as they have to do that flying thing, so they are not as well reinforced as a car. Ever see a car and a train make a head on contact? That's just a fraction of the damage a fully loaded plane going at 300+ MPH can do.

A human can typically see fluorescent lights as a steady source of light when in fact it cycles somewhere around 60hz or 60 times a second. All cameras have a shutter speed, meaning the time the shutter opens and allows light to hit the film. Depending upon the shutter speed, the cameras most likely could not see the plane as it whizzed by. (plane going 300 mph into the building)

Note: those slow motion pictures require the film to zip by at a much faster rate than a normal camera to record those fast acting events. Most cruise by at several hundred to several thousand feet of film per second. Want to record car traffic at that rate for 24 hours?
One of my very good Navy friends, who was still on active duty at the Pentagon, saw the plane hit as he was leaving for a meeting. Not much doubt in his mind!!!
Lots of cameras inside the hallways, but assume they were instantly eliminated in the crash. As for the perimiter cameras...there are undoubtedly some images floating around (but knowing the military as I do, they are probably classified).

Photos of several pieces of the subject aircraft, . . . and lots of other information, . . . can be found at: A Boeing 757 Struck the Pentagon.
I'm sure the families and friends that died crashing into the Pentagon believe it happened.
How do you explain those missing who were on the plane? Perhaps you think they are going along with "the theory"?
I can't believe we are even debating this.

Maybe one of our newer loons will show up pissing himself silly over North Korea nuking us, just to enhance the intellectual quality of the place!!
P.S. It was Thor Heyerdahl and the Kon Tiki that hit the Pentagon right after proving that aliens put the Easter Island monoliths in Area 51.
