It is certain that UA flight 175 crashed into the S tower at 9:03 on 9/11
because we saw it on TV. It's fairly certain that AA flight 11 crashed
into the N tower at 8:46 because it's missing and there was a plane-sized
hole in the tower, although the event was not recorded on video. However
it's dubious that AA flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon at about 9:40.
Look at these photos if you don't believe me:

I don't understand why almost everybody makes fun of "conspiracy theories"
yet fails to recognize that the official account of 9/11 amounts to
little more than a conspiracy theory.

In the early 70s I was flown in a helicopter by my brother up the Potomac
River, past the 14th St. Bridge, up past the Pentagon, on up to where I-495
crosses the Potomac River again (now called the American Legion Bridge, at
that time it was called the Cabin John Bridge). As we passed the Pentagon,
I imagined many guns and missiles and stuff being aimed at us and possibly
fired if we deviated from course. My brother told me the flight route (up
the Potomac and very near government landmarks) was indeed a very sensitive
route as far as the military was concerned. Later, when I was in the Air
Force, I was stationed at the time at Andrews AFB, just a short distance
from the District of Columbia in Maryland. I was attached to the Tactical
Air Command (TAC) and while I didn't fly jets (I was a ground radio
repairman) those who did were quite proud of the fact that they could be
"scrambled" (in the air, armed and ready) in an incredibly short time, well
under 5 min. Granted, that was some time ago, but I am a bit skeptical of
a Secretary of Defense who can't even defend his own office building. Did
he think the Pentagon wasn't a target?
