Pentagon
Hunt the
Boeing! And test your perceptions!
http://www.asile.org/citoyens/numero13/pentagone/erreurs_en.htm
As
everyone knows, on 11 September, less than an hour after the attack on the
World Trade Centre, an airplane collided with the Pentagon. The Associated
Press first reported that a booby-trapped truck had caused the explosion.
The Pentagon quickly denied this. The official US government version of
events still holds. Here's a little game for you: Take a look at these
photographs and try to find evidence to corroborate the official version.
It's up to you to Hunt the Boeing!
Question n°1

The first satellite image shows the section of the
building that was hit by the Boeing. In the image below,
the second ring of the building is also visible. It is
clear that the aircraft only hit the first ring. The four
interior rings remain intact. They were only fire-damaged
after the initial explosion.
Can you explain how a Boeing 757-200,
weighing nearly 100 tons and travelling at a minimum speed
of 250 miles an hour* only damaged the outside of the
Pentagon?
*250
mph when landing, 600 mph in flight.

Question n°2

The two photographs in question 2 show the building
just after the attack. We may observe that the aircraft
only hit the ground floor. The four upper floors collapsed
towards 10.10 am. The building is 26 yards high.
Can you explain how a Boeing 14.9 yards
high, 51.7 yards long, with a wingspan of 41.6 yards and a
cockpit 3.8 yards high, could crash into just the ground
floor of this building?

Question n°3

The photograph above shows the lawn in front of the
damaged building.
You'll remember that the aircraft only
hit the ground floor of the Pentagon's first ring. Can you
find debris of a Boeing 757-200 in this photograph?
|
|
Question n°4
|
|
|
The photograph in question 4 shows a truck pouring sand
over the lawn of the Pentagon. Behind it a bulldozer is
seen spreading gravel over the turf.
Can you explain why the Defence
Secretary deemed it necessary to sand over the lawn, which
was otherwise undamaged after the attack?

Question n°5

Department of Defense, Sgt. Rudisill
The photographs in Question 5 show representations of a
Boeing 757-200 superimposed on the section of the building
that was hit.
Can you explain what happened to the
wings of the aircraft and why they caused no damage?
|
|
Question n°6
|
When asked by a
journalist: "Is there anything left of the
aircraft at all?"
"First of all, the
question about the aircraft, there are some small
pieces of aircraft visible from the interior
during this fire-fighting operation I'm talking
about, but not large sections. In other words,
there's no fuselage sections and that sort of
thing." " You know, I'd rather not
comment on that. We have a lot of eyewitnesses
that can give you better information about what
actually happened with the aircraft as it
approached. So we don't know. I don't know."
When asked by a
journalist: "Where is the jet fuel?"
"We have what we believe is a puddle right
there that the -- what we believe is to be the
nose of the aircraft. So -"

The quotations in Question 6 correspond to statements
made by Arlington County Fire Chief, Ed Plaugher, at a
press conference held by Assistant Defence Secretary,
Victoria Clarke, on 12 September 2001, at the Pentagon.
Can you explain why the County Fire
Chief could not tell reporters where the aircraft was?

Question n°7

The two photographs in question 7 were taken just after
the attack. They show the precise spot on the outer ring
where the Boeing struck.
Can you find the aircraft's point of
impact?

How
did you do?
Did you find the Boeing? Can you still defend
the official version of events?
Well done! Remember to get in touch with
master of illusion, David Copperfield. He'll be glad to hear from you!
You found the official version lacking in
something (like a Boeing, for example):
If you begin to question whether a Boeing
really did crash on the Pentagon then, no doubt, you'll be wondering what
happened to the aircraft that disappeared. You will probably ask yourself
why the US government even told you this story in the first place and
you'll start asking yourself lots of other questions besides. Don't worry!
This is perfectly normal!
