Actually, I think there is only one video shot of the first plane impact on the WTC. Maybe the Pentagon isn't the object of a lot of tourists' shots, but you'd think it would be, along with the WH, Congress, and the memorials. Or maybe there isn't a good place from which to get a still pic of the Pentagon. I just thought it odd, and it wouldn't surprise me if, like in the JFK assassination, years after the fact people came forward with other photos.
OK, you just said that there was only one shot of the first WTC impact. I don't think there is any doubt that the WTC were one of the most photographed spots in the city, and yet no film of it. Meanwhile, we have one less shot of the pentagon, something I've never taken a picture of on my many trips to DC (except from the Washinton Monument), and yet you find that strange. Like I asked, how would this picture have been taken? The plane came over the treetops, so there was no chance to follow the path of the plane. I just don't understand the confusion.

That's a defense department aerial photo of the damage to the pentagon. It looks like the only places to get a clean shot of that side of the building is from the Pentagon grounds, from the air or from the highway (I-295?).
