Flight 77
Some British Film producer has decided Flight 77 did NOT crash into the Pentagon. It’s a scenario avidly embraced by those who need to believe 9/11 was “all some sort of hoax”, perpetrated by power-hungry ,Jew-loving Neo-Cons – so that peace-loving Muslims could be persecuted,and forcibly converted to some sort of ultra right wing version of Christianity,while being stripped of their lands and their oil.
R-i-i-i-i-ght !
There are few disasters chronicled as thoroughly as that of Flight 77-the plane that crashed into the Pentagon. (One of the reasons may have been the presence of a “VIP” aboard: Barbara Olsen : wife of Ted Olsen, Solicitor General of the United States.
Flight 77 took off from Dulles International Airport at 8:20AM, on 9/11/01. It was a Boeing 757, carrying 6 crew and 58 passengers, and its flight was monitored by the Dulles Terminal Air Control.
At 8:46 AM, Flight 77 reached its designated cruising altitude of 35,000 feet, and at 8:51 AM, transmitted its final routine message.
Between 8:51 and 8:54 AM , hijacking of the plane began. (We know this, because 1 passenger reported the incident via cell phone. )
Within a few minutes, the passengers and at least some of the crew were herder into the back of the plane. ( We know this from cell phone calls made by 1 passenger and 1 Flight attendant.)
8:54 AM – Flight 77 –still under radar observation- deviated from its flight path,turning South. At 8:56, the transponder was turned off. (The plane could still be seen on radar, but no longer displayed an ID number.This was done on ALL of the hijacked planes that morning.)
9:12 AM – Passenger Renee May called her mother in Las Vegas, and described the ongoing hijack.
9:16 AM – 9:26 AM : Passenger Barbara Olsen called her husband Ted,to advise of the ongoing hijack. She told him the hijackers were armed with knives and boxcutters.About a minute into the conversation, she was suddenly cut off. Her husband called the Attorney General,but was unable to reach him.
(No time provided) Barbara Olsen called her husband back,and asked what she sould tell the captain to do. He asked her about location,and she said they were flying over houses. She stayed cool, but the second call was cut off.
9:29AM – The autopilot on Flight 77 was disengaged. The craft was then at 7000 feet, and approximately 38 miles West of the Pentagon.
9:32 AM – Controllers at Dulles Terminal Radar Approach Control observed a primary radar target tracking Eastward at high speed.
9:34 AM – Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport advised the Secret Service of an unknown aircraft heading in the direction of the White House. Flight 77 was then 5 miles West-Southwest of the Pentagon, and began a 330 degree turn. At the end of the turn, it was descending through 2200 feet,pointed at the Pentagon and downtown Washington.
9:37:46 AM – Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon,traveling at a speed of 530 Mph.
Military Aircraft: Interceptors were scrambled from Langley AFB at 924 AM, and were airborne at 9:30 AM. They were sent towards Baltimore, because the FAA believed (erroneously) there was a Flight 11 southbound towards Washington, DC.
9:36 AM – FAA advised the military there was an unidentified airplane closing in on Washington. The fighters from Langley were notified, but were still 150 miles away by the time Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon.
(The reason for this was all “scramble orders” at the time called for fighters to head east to open water while building up speed-so as not to disturb local resident with sonic booms…)
Goodbye.
Gah, I've been tricked by Bush's evil corporate military-industrial complex yet again! Curse you, George Bush, I'll outwit you yet!
On 9/11, I lived in a high-rise just slightly skewed from a complete and direct view of the Pentagon.
However, I have multiple photos of the smoke plume rising from the crash, taken from my balcony.
Wierd, my first reaction was "don't take 395", because I was scheduled for a biz meeting north of Baltimore.
I heard and felt the second "BOOM" - which was an exploding propane tank at the Pentagon - and the biz meeting was cancelled.
I don't get infuriated, but I (and you) know the truth.
Those of us in NOVA and particularly in Arlington/Alexandria/Fairfax know exactly what happened.
Well, you can see the flames are burning hydrocarbons.(They've been speeded up - probably by a factor of 4 or 5-to make it look like a TNT/dynamite type explosion.)
The reason you see only still image from the security camera is because it video reccorded only one frame every second... nothing was confiscated and hidden.
The slow frame rate is common in security cameras because they are mostly interested in scene changes, vehicles. and people, not 530MPH jet aircraft crashing into the building.
In addition, to fit a whole day's surveilance on a video tape at anything near enough resolution to see anything requires a slow frame rate.
Sigh... yes, It has, numerous times. Both "black" boxes were found in the wreckage as well as pieces of both engines, instruments, passenger body parts, scraps of aluminum aircraft skin, pieces of the distinctive landing gear of a 757, etc.
I have posted pictures on Freerepublic of the parts in situ in the Pentagon along side Boeing schematics of the parts, photographs of the parts both on and off an exemplar Boeing model.
