I've watched both of the parking lot cameras footage and I can't see anything that looks anything like a plane. This is another one of those cases where I just wish they would release all of the info that they had. They confiscated several cameras footage of the event from the area around the pentagon (a hotel, a gas station and the highway cameras come to mind) and they still have yet to acknowledge that they even took them. I never have used a security camera, so I really don't know how likely it is that anything was captured or the quality that it would be. I just want to feel that information isn't being hidden from me in the case.

What I don't understand about that explanation is how would you account for(in the planning stage) all the people who would see the pentagon just blow up rather than a plane hit it?
How would stop the totally random factor of someone in the wrong place at the wrong time with a camera?

Well, the conspiracy buffs out there would say that people will believe what they are told to believe. There will be a small number of people that clearly saw what truly occurred. These ones are the true problem and are either silenced via pressure or completely discredited somehow. There will be a much larger group of people that just only marginally saw the event that can easily be 'programmed' by dis-information released by the authorities. In the case of wrong place/wrong time camera you confiscate it immidiately and put out the appropriate spin and pressure to neutralize and discredit it. Now, all that said, I really don't believe there is a massive conspiracy involved here. I think that events occurred, for the most part, how they are reported. What is bothering me, is that the government/authorities are failing miserably at keeping the public informed. I can only hope that there is some top secret national security reason why they are not being more forthcoming with information. I'm really getting the impression that we are just being fed information and we are expected to believe it with no proof. The fact that a group had to force the government to release that second camera footage using the law is indicative of somebody trying to hide something.

I've watched both of the parking lot cameras footage and I can't see anything that looks anything like a plane. i saw something that looked like a plain. it was a large white streak -- exactly what a plain moving at several hundred miles an hour would look to a security camera.
This is another one of those cases where I just wish they would release all of the info that they had. They confiscated several cameras footage of the event from the area around the pentagon (a hotel, a gas station and the highway cameras come to mind) and they still have yet to acknowledge that they even took them. so say the conspiracy theorists.
I never have used a security camera, so I really don't know how likely it is that anything was captured or the quality that it would be. i have, and not very likely, and bad. they tend to run at only a few frames a second, if that. you'd be lucky to get one frame of something moving that fast.
I just want to feel that information isn't being hidden from me in the case. people who subscribe to conspiracy theories often do so because they feel (irrationally) that information is being kept from them. but i think your portrayal of our government's information-gathering skills are a little exagerated. besides. dc is a BIG city. while airplanes move a little fast for security cameras, they're quite slow enough for the human eye. how do you suppose the government shut up all the people who observed what "really" happened? the pentagon is actually just across the highway from reagan international. lots of people, lots of airplanes -- and a flight control tower. shall we involve them, too?

If that's the truth, then who is really disrespecting the survivors? I share in the view that people should give pause before engaging in reckless speculation. Have you seen the results from structual engineers? It is not speculation but fact. The tensile and compression strength of steel is measured all the time in labs and it's reduction in strength due to heat.

Maybe this guy who produced it is actually a terrorist himself. That way lies paranoia lol You know RR I never thougt I would agree with you more than the Frog on a subject. EVC never ceases to amaze

The tensile and compression strength of steel is measured all the time in labs and it's reduction in strength due to heat. I guess. That's not evidence that I have the capability to evaluate. The challenge has been made, though, that the fire couldn't have heated the steel to the temperatures assumed in the structural tests.

What unknown site? Area 52? The secret moonbase? Using UFO technology stolen from tthe aliens after the failed negotiations in Roswell, the g'ment faked the whole 911 fiasco. Why this is not obvius to the world is due to the mind control ray that cannot work on me because af a secret devie.

Planes hit the buildings the buildings collapse after the fire. Why multipy compexities? BTW I have a engeneering degree. you might to study some strucual engineering before you say how it happened.

BTW I have a engeneering degree. yeah? is that a bachelor's of science in engeneering, or a masters of science in engeneering? or a doctorate in engeneering? normally i don't pick on spelling and grammar errors, because god knows i make them. but one thing's for damned certain, i can spell the name of my field of study. ok, well, "art" isn't very hard to spell... but you get the point. you'll also notice that the op has 11 years experience fireproofing buildings. Edited by arachnophilia, : typo (ironic!)

For the record I voted aginst Bush three times. Still all the facts say that a loaded 747 can bring a modern building down. Scary world we live in is it not?

No it is a mere BS in engineering technology, but it gave me the tools to evaluate this. I will try to achieve your standards of perfection. Edited by ts, : stupidity plus
