Air Force Lt. Col. Marc Abshire, 40, a speechwriter for Air Force Secretary James Roche, was working on several speeches this morning when he felt the blast of the explosion at the Pentagon. His office is on the D ring, near the eighth corridor, he said. "It shot me back in my chair. There was a huge blast. I could feel the air shock wave of it," Abshire said. "I didn't know exactly what it was."

"I witnessed the jet hit the Pentagon on September 11. From my office on the 19th floor of the USA TODAY building in Arlington, Va., I have a view of Arlington Cemetery, Crystal City, the Pentagon, National Airport and the Potomac River. ... Shortly after watching the second tragedy, I heard jet engines pass our building, which, being so close to the airport is very common. But I thought the airport was closed. I figured it was a plane coming in for landing. A few moments later, as I was looking down at my desk, the plane caught my eye. It didn't register at first. I thought to myself that I couldn't believe the pilot was flying so low. Then it dawned on me what was about to happen. I watched in horror as the plane flew at treetop level, banked slightly to the left, drug it's wing along the ground and slammed into the west wall of the Pentagon exploding into a giant orange fireball. Then black smoke. Then white smoke. 
http://www.jmu.edu/alumni/tragedy%5Frespon...5Fmessages.html

This appeared on the internet almost a month after the event. My question is why such a graphic account from the Director of Communications of USA TODAY did not make it into any of the Gannett publications?

- " I watched in horror as the plane flew at treetop level, banked slightly to the left, drug it's wing along the ground and slammed into the west wall of the Pentagon"

First off, he allegedly saw these details, particularly the "left" bank he described and the wing "drug...along the ground" from here?

http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/3769/gannetview.png

Secondly, barring the fact that the lawn wasn't marked, at what point in the official time of 0.4 seconds it allegedly took to cross the lawn did he garner these details?

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a327/lyt...tanimxox1rt.gif

Claims to have witnessed alleged impact but the claims by the Arlington Fire Station of the fire alarm being set off in his building before the explosion needs to be resolved.

And "heard jet engines pass our building"? This was allegedly during the national groundstop at all airports.

Finally, his account appeared online weeks after the event on a university website yet this media executive for USA Today wasn't quoted once by his own publication in the days afterwards? Why?

This is a shot (zoomed in) from the 14th floor:

http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u422/c...ba62d8af3d3.jpg


Analauf is a possible "over the Navy Annex" witness. What needs to be confirmed is which point or at what angle the plane traversed this building.
All ANC witnesses (among many more) confirm that the plane flew over this point.

Interestingly, the following statement points to her not actually describing the plane hit the building, but seeing the fireball:

"It was just this huge fireball that crashed into the wall (of the Pentagon)."

Slip of the tongue or an idea of what she actually saw? What needs to be remembered is that assumptions should never be made from media quotes (which I've been guilty of) as we don't know where she was in the room when she first saw the aircraft. At the window? Here?

http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u422/c...da85056c84f.jpg

Needs to be interviewed.

Jeff Analauf allegedly felt the blast from within the Sheraton Hotel.

http://911research.wtc7.net/pentagon/evide...esses/bart.html

Jeff didn't feel the impact of the plane crash as directly as his wife. He was attending an environmental meeting on the second floor of the hotel when the plane struck the Pentagon. About five seconds before the crash, Jeff said he heard the sound of "tin being dropped," likely as construction workers building an addition to the hotel saw the plane and dropped their building materials. "Then, about 5 seconds later, the whole hotel shook," Jeff recalled. "I could feel it moving. We said 'Oh, my gosh, what's going on?' "

Jeff saw nothing.

Cause you can't see the Pentagon directly from the Washington monument.

(...)

ARTMAN: Yeah, I-- I didn't see any other plane. And you know when something like that happens, you never can anticipate what's gonna happen next. So you see a plane, you're at the monument looking at the monument and your attention is focused somewhere else, and then, in a matter of seconds later, you see a smoke plume, and then the world shuts down. So, what-- what could it be? Did I actually see it hit? No. Cause you CAN'T. Not from that vantage point.

Mickey Bell : The jet came in from the south and banked left as it entered the building, narrowly missing the Singleton Electric trailer and the on-site foreman, Mickey Bell. Bell had just left the trailer when he heard a loud noise. The next thing he recalled was picking himself off the floor, where he had been thrown by the blast. Bell, who had been less than 100 feet from the initial impact of the plane, was nearly struck by one of the plane's wings as it sped by him. In shock, he got into his truck, which had been parked in the trailer compound, and sped away.

Bell has never been directly quoted. This is a second hand media snippet touting the official narrative.

"As he was coming towards me it just seemed like he was tilting the aircraft to his right"

He said that he does not believe it was level or that low. He claims it was on a descent and that it was between the 2nd and 3rd floor (which is equal to his height in the heliport tower) rather than beneath his point of view on the first floor as depicted in the ASCE report and required by the physical damage.

Boger is adamant that the aircraft hit the building but the NOC flightpath that he described, which is not open to obfuscation (alleged "parallax issues" or "perspective") contradicts this.

He is alleged to have originally stated that he "fell to the ground and covered [his] head". At what point in the alleged 0.4 seconds to cross the lawn? Or the 0.2 seconds it would take to fully penetrate the facade?

I have a major problem with the scenario where somebody could physically stand at a large heliport window and watch a large aircraft hurtling towards their position.

"At 9:40 a.m. I was driving down Washington Boulevard (Route 27) along the side of the Pentagon when the aircraft crossed about 200 yards in front of me and impacted the side of the building. There was an enormous fireball, followed about two seconds later by debris raining down. The car moved about a foot to the right when the shock wave hit. I had what must have been an emergency oxygen bottle from the airplane go flying down across the front of my Explorer and then a second piece of jagged metal come down on the right side of the car."

I have given Bouchoux the benefit of the doubt and placed him at the point shown but he may very well have been further back.
Needs confirmation but the "200 yards" distance ahead of him leans more towards NOC.

Strangely he describes his car as having "moved about a foot to the right when the shock wave hit", while those driving North on the lanes closer to the explosion described no such thing (that's why I placed him in direct line with the alleged impact zone).

He was allegedly in a position to witness the alleged impact but his POV needs to be further investigated - Jeff Hill phoned him and didn't ask any details whatsoever other than whether he witnessed an "impact" or not.

Defense Protective Service officers were the first on the scene of the terrorist attack. One, Mark Bright, actually saw the plane hit the building. He had been manning the guard booth at the Mall Entrance to the building. "I saw the plane at the Navy Annex area," he said. "I knew it was going to strike the building because it was very, very low -- at the height of the street lights. It knocked a couple down." The plane would have been seconds from impact -- the annex is only a few hundred yards from the Pentagon. He said he heard the plane "power-up" just before it struck the Pentagon. "As soon as it struck the building I just called in an attack, because I knew it couldn't be accidental," Bright said. He jumped into his police cruiser and headed to the area.

Doesn't say that he directly saw the lightpoles or the building being struck. Further investigation is needed to ascertain exactly what he saw and what he could physically see.

"About 9:30 or so — I don't know the exact time, maybe quarter to 10 — we were still in the conference room, and we heard and felt the loud explosion of the plane hitting the Pentagon, and it reminded me of an earthquake.

Around 2:00 or 3:00, after helping the fire department, they decided that we could be better utilized on the front side. We got all the litters and stretchers and so on, and we moved over to the front side. From 2:30 to about 6, again we helped by doing whatever we could to support people already there, the emergency workers and so on. But none of us were allowed back in the building. They had already organized and got whatever folks they could out of the fire earlier that day. 

We could not see the plane. The only thing that we saw was a piece of the front skin with the “C” from American Airlines by the little heliport control tower. There was a fire truck there that was burnt on one side, and a car, and a tree, all burnt. But, still, you could not see the plane."

Witnesses C breakdown




Campo, Omar

SGYDK

http://911research.wtc7.net/pentagon/evide...sses/sgydk.html

Source: Media

This guy's account was butchered in translation here:

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1fa23_pe...mar-campos_news

This translation was further twisted by media reports:

Omar Campo, a Salvadorean, was cutting the grass on the other side of the road when the plane flew over his head. 
"It was a passenger plane. I think an American Airways plane," Mr Campo said. "I was cutting the grass and it came in screaming over my head. I felt the impact. The whole ground shook and the whole area was full of fire. I could never imagine I would see anything like that here."

First of all he was planting "small trees" at the "building beside the Pentagon here.." where it flew over his head "just above the treetops" and "on the other side of the road".

Going by those descriptions can you tell where he was? 

Hint: there are no buildings "beside the Pentagon" on the official path within the Pentagon basin.

http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/uu311/b...GroupsMap-3.jpg


He is also quoted as a "small plane" witness when in actual fact he said that the plane appeared smaller "like a United Airlines plane", not a small passenger jet as some have claimed.

A Spanish speaking poster at the CIT forum (I speak Spanish myself) pointed out the mistakes in translation here:

http://z3.invisionfree.com/CIT/index.php?s...dpost&p=2241757

He is not a witness to the alleged impact and his testimony points more to the NOC flightpath.

More detailed breakdown from above link:

His only testimony is in this live video clip

Campos interview.

The guy who translated for the interviewer changed the context and content of what he said and saw.

“sabes que yo estaba trabjando en el edificio que tenemos aqui al costado"

I was working in the building that we have over here to the side.

When asked what he saw Campos said the plane came in over him low, "so low it moved the trees.."

“yo lo via que me pasaba aqui por encima, tu sabes que venia muy bajo y movia hasta los arboles, hasta segun venia tan de bajo”.

He repeats the fact that it was low twice. The translator, on the other hand, changed that to say it came in “very fast down, it moved then go straight to the building”. The translator didn’t even mention it was low, which is what Campos emphasized. Campos didn’t say anything about the speed of the plane, and DID NOT say it “moved straight to the building”. The translator made that up. 

Also related to the color of the plane, Gordon Peterson (the interviewer) mentioned American Airlines (nothing leading there) and the translator passed that on in his question to Omar. Campos ignored them and responded that it was like one of the planes here from United ("algo asi como los de la United"), which was translated as "a United States Plane" by the translator. Omar was clearly talking about United Airlines, not "United States Plane". Omar wasn’t mixing English and Spanish like the “translator”. Had he meant a “United States Plane” he would have used “de los estados unidos” or “estado unidinese”. In effect Omar was confirming Sgt Brooke’s perception of the plane as being one from United Airlines. 

So where in this picture is a building "to the side of the Pentagon"and trees? It certainly isn't on the south path.



So he isn't an alleged impact witness or an 'AA' witness according to this testimony

Cissell, James

Source: Media

http://911research.wtc7.net/pentagon/evide...sses/sgydk.html

As former Cincinnatian James R. Cissell sat in traffic on a Virginia interstate by the Pentagon Tuesday morning, he saw the blur of a commercial jet and wondered why it was flying so low. ''Right about the time it was crossing over the highway, it kind of dawned on me what was happening,'' said Cissell, son of Hamilton County Clerk of Courts Jim Cissell. In the next blink of an eye, he realized he had a front-row seat to history, as the plane plowed into the Pentagon, sending a fireball exploding into the air and scattering debris - including a tire rim suspected of belonging to the airplane - past his car. (...) In the next seconds dozens of things flashed through his mind. ''I thought, "This isn't really happening. That is a big plane." Then I saw the faces of some of the passengers on board,'' Cissell said. While he remembers seeing the crash, Cissell remembers none of the sounds. ''It came in in a perfectly straight line,'' he said. ''It didn't slow down. I want to say it accelerated. It just shot straight in.''
http://www.cincypost.com/attack/cissel091201.html

Cissell refutes this media embellishment of his testimony:

"The Cincinnati Post article, which you refer, angered me greatly after reading it. It is almost completely fiction based loosely on an interview I did with a Cincinnati Post reporter Kimball Perry who called me in response to an on air phone report that I did for Channel 12 in Cincinnati."

Cissell relates what he actually told the reporter.

"The reporter took extreme creative license not only with the title but also with the story as a whole. Why he felt the need to sensationalize anything that happened on September 11 is beyond me. My words to the reporter were, "I was about four cars back from where the plane crossed over the highway. That it happened so quickly I didn't even see what airline it was from. However, I was so close to the plane when it went past that had it been sitting on a runway, I could have seen the faces of passengers peering out."

also

"Looking at the trajectories in the diagrams they have online seems off to me. I remember the plane coming in more directly at the side of the building than at an angle," said Cissell.

http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/june2...ht77.htm (dead)

Further investigation needed as he places himself "four cars back" (alleged approx placement Penny Elgas gave) from where the aircraft crossed Route 27 and "coming in more directly at the side of the building than at an angle"

http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/uu311/b...GroupsMap-3.jpg

If the aircraft passed just in front of his car, it would have arrived from behind at an almost 45 degree angle.

http://www.serendipity.li/wot/pentagon/spe...gonapproach.jpg

He was allegedly in a position to witness the alleged impact but he doesn't describe the official directional damage path at all.


Additional info:

A former photojournalist who, for the last three years, has worked for the Freedom Forum Museum in Arlington, Va., Cissell was listening to his car radio and the news of the planes slamming into the World Trade Center while sitting in traffic.

''I was thinking, 'If anything happens to the Pentagon right now, I don't have my (photo) gear with me,' '' he said today.

We didn't know what kind of plane had hit the Pentagon, or where it had hit. Later, [we were told that] it was a 757 out of Dulles, which had come up the river in back of our building, turned sharply over the Capitol, ran past the White House and the Washington Monument, up the river to Rosslyn, then dropped to treetop level and ran down Washington Boulevard to the Pentagon(...) As we watched the black plume gather strength, less than a minute after the explosion, we saw an odd sight that no one else has yet commented on. Directly in back of the plume, which would place it almost due west from our office, a four-engine propeller plane, which Ray later said resembled a C-130, started a steep decent towards the Pentagon.

Didn't witness alleged impact.

The Pentagon from my office at exactly 9:38AM, September 11, 2002, one year after the attack. The plane hit the far side of the building, about where the crane arm sticks up in this picture.

I had just scanned the sky and the scene one more time, and turned to Ray. We were talking about the need for a swift response to this attack (we were already talking about bin Laden) when Ray leapt to one side, his face instantly animated beyond anything I had ever seen.

"They just hit the Pentagon!"

I turned. Rising up from the right center of the Pentagon’s mass was a gigantic spherical orange mass, the flames oddly bright and vivid in the clear direct sunlight. I stepped to the window, and instinctively put my hand to the glass. Verle and Ray were quickly on either side of me. A few seconds after the explosion, the glass rattled and a dull boom shook the room.

Erik Dihle isn't a witness to the aircraft as he was in his office when it happened.

The jet that "kept on going" was not seen by Dihle himself and although it's second hand testimony, it stands out like a sore thumb. He told this to CMH interviewers shortly after 9/11 so it was fresh in his mind.

Incredibly he claims not to remember making that statement. But it is on record.

He is yet another ANC witness who contradicts the C130 RADES data

ERIK DIHLE (explaining where the second plane came from): "I would say somewhere between west by northwest."

CRAIG RANKE : "Sure, but definitely not from the south?"

ERIK DIHLE : "Oh no... not from the south.  No way.  Nope.  We--- unless somebody telling you [inaud] that's something I didn't-- didn't witness.  This plane definitely came from the.. absolutely positively it came from the west or northwest."

Michael DiPaula 41, project coordinator Pentagon Renovation Team - He left a meeting in the Pentagon just minutes before the crash, looking for an electrician who didn't show, in a construction trailer less than 75 feet away. "Suddenly, an airplane roared into view, nearly shearing the roof off the trailer before slamming into the E ring. 'It sounded like a missile,' DiPaula recalls . . . Buried in debris and covered with airplane fuel, he was briefly listed by authorities as missing, but eventually crawled from the flaming debris and the shroud of black smoke unscathed.

Could he have physically seen "the back of both engines" from there?

The official speed of the aircraft (540-580 mph) and as claimed by the ASCE Report, would have been in his view as he described it for 0.5 seconds!

So, where was Donley given the snippets of information that he described?

He claimed that he could see the entire length of the aircraft ("tip to tip"), the "windows" and the "back of the engines" from "as close as you can get to the Pentagon without being on the grounds", "in front of the Pentagon". Within a 0.5 second timeframe (according to the official speed)

Look at the directional damage path and work that one out:

http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/3894/allgroupsmap3.jpg

Donley seems to be trying to fit what he saw with the official version. But he contradicts the speed , he is on record as having "ducked" in his car, not to have seen lightpoles being "struck" (or Lloyd's cab with a 30ft pole protruding from the windscreen) nor did he claim to see the approach. He would have seen a blur, then there was the matter of a massive explosion felt up to 3km away and an alleged 200ft diameter fireball (half the length from the facade to Route 27)

Needs further investigation.

He was passing the building the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, when he saw a jetliner fly over the roadway. It filled his field of vision. The jet was 40-feet off the ground speeding toward the Pentagon. “The wheels were up and I knew that this plane was not heading for National Airport,” he said. “This plane was going to slam into the Pentagon. I steeled myself for the explosion.”

Well? Did he see the alleged impact or not? Even the journalist description of him "passing the building" when he allegedly saw it "fill[ed] his field of vision" are mutually incompatible. He did not witness and seems to be deducing an impact according to this alleged testimony.

He may have (allegedly) been on this stretch of road which runs in front of the Pentagon up to the overhead sign (where lightpole 1 is sited to the left). There is no clear view of the alleged impact zone:

GOPUSA founder Bobby Eberle was heavily implicated in "Gannongate"

http://insider-magazine.org/Gannongate.htm

"The route from where I'm staying to my conference hotel runs right by the Pentagon. As we slowly crept along in traffic at about 9:30 am, we rounded a bend and had the Pentagon in our sites -- right in front of us. We continued to listen to the radio to take in the latest news on what was happening.

[...]

The aircraft was so very low -- as an aircraft would be on its final approach to an airport. However, if you have watched any aircraft come in for a landing, even though the aircraft is descending, it is angled up slightly. This aircraft was angled downward. In addition, landing gear would also be visible on a aircraft so low and so near landing. This aircraft had its landing gear retracted. Finally, an aircraft on final approach is traveling rather slowly. This aircraft sped by very loudly and very quickly.

All of this flashed in my mind as the aircraft passed from behind my left shoulder to in front of me. It was then that the other events of the morning crystallized in the realization that tragedy was about to occur. With all of these images spinning in my head, the only words that came out of my mouth were "Oh no!"

With that, the airliner crashed into the Pentagon and exploded.

I shouted to my friend whose view was partially blocked by a truck in front of us, "Oh my gosh! The jet just hit the Pentagon!"

He took the Highway 95 loop in the area of the Pentagon and thought it odd to see a plane in restricted airspace, thinking to himself it was odd that it was flying so low. "You could almost see the people in the windows," he said as he watched the plane disappear behind a line of trees, followed by a tall plume of black smoke. Then he saw the Pentagon on fire, and an announcement came over the radio that the Pentagon had been hit.

Context: Driving on a highway adjacent to the Pentagon on the morning of September 11, Penny Elgas stopped as she saw a passenger jet descend, clip a light pole near her, and then crash into the Pentagon. Arriving home, Elgas found this plane fragment in the back seat of her car (she theorizes that it dropped through the open sunroof).

Elliott, in a phone interview Wednesday, said he had just left the Pentagon and was about to board a shuttle van in a south parking lot when he saw the plane approach and slam into the west side of the structure. "I looked to my left and saw the plane coming in," said Elliott, who watched it for several seconds. "It was banking and garnering speed. I felt it was headed for the Pentagon." (...) "It was like a kamikaze pilot. I felt it was going to ram the Pentagon," he said. He said the craft clipped a utility pole guide wire, which may have slowed it down a bit before it crashed into the building and burst into flames. (...) Elliott said the rubble was still smoldering Wednesday morning.

There is no view of the alleged impact zone from the south parking lot of the Pentagon.

This is the taxi cab driver who's cab (and himself) were photographed on the bridge and whose full story needs to be viewed in the video and links above.

Basically he claims that a lightpole speared his windshield (a physical mystery in itself) but that he "wasn't on the bridge" where the alleged lightpoles on the official path are situated on the side of the road he was allegedly driving on. And that he didn't see the alleged impact.

Detractor arguments addressed here:

http://z3.invisionfree.com/CIT/index.php?s...0&#entry2465465

Jeff Hill contacted Lloyd England and he repeated exactly the same story as he told CIT:

England: You know what? I know where the cab was and I know where they wanted it to be, but I can prove where the car was. There's a permanent picture of the fire and the Pentagon...my cab is the only cab in the world involved in 9/11...and I know where the car was. And they are trying to put the car somewhere else, for what reason, I don't know because they weren't there.

Hill : So they were trying to use some sort of distorted picture..

England: The pictures were made to be in one place when I was somewhere else....my car is not there at the bridge at Columbia  Pike. They got it wrong, and I don't know why they have it wrong.

Not a witness to the alleged impact and his contradictory story makes him a highly dubious witness. Nobody corroborates his story. 

Maybe this is why?

"We were watching the airport through binoculars," Ford said, referring to Reagan National Airport, a short distance away. "The plane was a two-engine turbo prop that flew up the river from National. Then it turned back toward the Pentagon. We thought it had been waved off and then it hit the building. "

"I thought something was coming down on me. I know this plane is going to crash. I've never seen a plane like this so low." He said he looked at it and saw American Airline insignia and when it made impact with the Pentagon initially he saw smoke, then flames.

He claims to have gotten out of his car and that people were "running away in different directions" - all within what, 2-3 seconds (official time of descent)?

Being a former transport type (60's era) I cannot understand how that plane hit where it did giving the direction the aircraft was taking at the time. As most know, the Pentagon lies at the bottom of two hills from the west with the east side being next to the river at 14th street bridge. One hill is at the Navy Annex and the other is Arlington Cemetery. The plane came up I-395 also known as Shirley Hwy. (most likely used as a reference point.) The plane had been seen making a lazy pattern in the no fly zone over the White House and US Cap. Why the plane did not hit incoming traffic coming down the river from the north to Reagan Nat'l. is beyond me . Strangely, no one at the Reagan Tower noticed the aircraft. Andrews AFB radar should have also picked up the aircraft I would think. Nevertheless, the aircarft went southwest near Springfield and then veered left over Arlington and then put the nose down coming over Ft Myer picking off trees and light poles near the helicopter pad next to building. It was as if he leveled out at the last minute and put it square into the building. The wings came off as if it went through an arch way leaving a hole in the side of the building it seems a little larger than the wide body of the aircraft.

He wasn't there. He was in his office "8 miles away" when the attack occurred and was relaying what others had told him.

This was deliberately ommitted from his original e-mail by Hoffman and the source he quoted.

She said her brother, James Keglovich, 38, a carpenter working near the Pentagon, was on break across the street from that structure when the airliner tore into the building. He and his friends witnessed the plane approaching. 

He told her they began exclaiming, "Where's he going? What's he doing?" when suddenly they saw the plane clip a taxi cab on the nearby bridge. The crash was exceptionally loud, he said. It shook the building and knocked people down who were closer to the point of impact.

Totally fabricated media piece on a third hand account!

Why has this witness never been brought forward to back up Lloyd England's story? Nobody saw the cab being speared. Nobody apart from Lloyd. 
The fact that the reporter quoted this alleged witness' sister as saying that the plane "clip[ped] a taxi cab" points to embellishment. If this were confirmed detractors and the media would have been scrambling to bring him forward as back-up to Lloyd's story.

This is his sister's alleged account of what he allegedly said, reported by a media that has been found out many times twisting the words of multiple alleged "witnesses" around the Pentagon that morning.

'There was a big boom,' he said. 'Everybody was in shock. I turned around to the car behind me and yelled "Did you see that? Nobody could believe it.'

Kopf, Peter

Source: Media/Jeff Hill

http://911research.wtc7.net/pentagon/evide...esses/bart.html

Peter Kopf, director of information technology at USA TODAY, was stalled in traffic about 9:30 a.m. when the jet hit the Pentagon, creating a 
"huge fireball."
"People (on the highway) were freaking out," he said. "People were turning around and driving the opposite way getting out of their cars, talking on cell phones, crying."

This witness doesn't decribe the path or where he was on Route 27.

10 years after his story was printed he was phoned by Jeff Hill (who has had extremely good luck in contacting these people). He uses a leading technique to reinforce what he wants them to say:

http://www.citizeninvestigationteam.com/CI...Statement/#hill

He concentrated on the "conspiracy nuts are saying that..." line and then consciously avoiding the question as to where the witness was and where they saw the aircraft. That a claim to seeing an "impact" is enough. Why? Because he has singlehandedly pointed out at least 3 more NOC witnesses in the pursuit of an "SOC (official path) witness"!

Kopf has since changed his original story from seeing a "huge fireball" into seeing the alleged impact itself. Why did his co-workers at USA Today fail to seize on it if this were the case? Why just mention the "huge fireball"?

Why is it important to ascertain where he allegedly was on the road that morning? And whether he actually saw the aircraft make contact with the facade?

When he claims to have been stuck in traffic on Route 27, he has to be between the area of lightpole 1 and the "impact area" itself to have any sort of "clear view". In fact, he has to be between lightpole 1 and lightpole 5 IF the aircraft was on the official path.

http://i51.tinypic.com/jr74g8.jpg

He couldn't be behind the overhead sign beside lightpole 1 because there were trees blocking the view of the Pentagon facade.

http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/uu311/b...waltertrees.jpg

Here's a video taken the same morning from the area in question (before the overhead sign) that show 3 lanes of traffic:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jrSUHbMhJo

Which lane was he in? 

If he was beyond the overhead sign, the aircraft would have flown right over his head. He doesn't describe that. He doesn't claim that is was a matter of feet in front of his car. So where was he and where did he see the aircraft pass over Route 27?

Details that Jeff Hill purposely avoids.





Krohn, Charles H.

http://911research.wtc7.net/pentagon/evide...esses/bart.html

One of the aircraft's engines somehow ricocheted out of the building and arched into the Pentagon's mall parking area between the main building and the new loading dock facility, said Charles H. Krohn, the Army's deputy chief of public affairs. Those fleeing the building heard a loud secondary explosion about 10 min. after the initial impact.

This "engine" has never been shown or identified. Even if it were true, how could it possibly get to the "mall parking"?

There is no view whatsoever of the basin of land where the Pentagon is. The descent as the aircraft flew over the Navy Annex can be seen but nothing after that. The school is also just two floors in height.

Lagasse, Sgt. William

Source: Media/CIT

...a pentagon police dog handler, the son of an aviation instructor, was filling up his patrol car at a gas station near the Pentagon when he noticed a jet fly in low. He watched as the plane plowed into the Pentagon. Initially, he thought the plane was about to drop on top of him -- it was that close. Lagasse knew something was wrong. The 757's flaps were not deployed and the landing gear was retracted.

A clear NOC witness even though he claims that the aircraft allegedly impacted.

Before his NOC testimony was established, it was repeatedly pointed out that he (and his father) had aviation experience and is now portrayed by detractors as a "liar", even though another police officer corroborated his account from an area just behind the Citgo Gas Station (seen in the video linked to).

"They Saw"

"It's a horrible feeling because you're afraid all the time. You're afraid to go out," said District resident La Verne Le Grand, 60, who was riding in a car on Columbia Pike on the morning of September 11 and saw the plane crash into the Pentagon. Since then, she has been admitted twice to Washington Hospital Center for treatment of severe anxiety.

"It's a horrible feeling because you're afraid all the time. You're afraid to go out." 

That's it. The reporter added the "plane crash" statement. 





Leibner, Lincoln

This was one of my first posts at the CIT forum (it's a bit amateurish but the info is solid)

http://z3.invisionfree.com/CIT/index.php?showtopic=728

The video interview has been 404ed (though I believe CIT have downloaded it somewhere). He was asked by the interviewer where he was and where he saw the plane. This gif shows that he is describing where he allegedly was and from what direction he allegedly saw the aircraft approach. Certainly not the official path.

http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e207/Mercury2/test3.gif

"The aircraft went in between the second and third floors." 

He also originally claimed that the aircraft struck a helicopter on the helipad (which didn't happen)

Captain Liebner says the aircraft struck a helicopter on the helipad, setting fire to a fire truck.

It's second hand, but he's never denied this statement.

His story has morphed over the years. He went from describing the scenario where he saw a "helicopter" being struck, to the aircraft "enter[ing] the building like a toy into a birthday cake"

He was allegedly at the southwest corner of the Pentagon where there were a collection of tall, bushy trees on 9/11

http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u422/c...5a44cb7a187.jpg

And the scenario where he could stand there and watch the alleged impact and explosion without flinching is ridiculous.

On a side note, the official trajectory of the aircraft would have seen the entry point on to the lawn where the white trailers can be seen in the last image above. Leibner claimed to be standing at the southwest corner of the building walking towards the bridge.

And he described this flightpath:

...driving northbound in the HOV lanes on I-395

His car passed the crest of the hill, at the point where Washington comes fully into view and the Pentagon is on the left
[...] "I looked in the rearview mirror to check the traffic and saw only a plane, flying very low. I followed it in my left outside mirror. I braked, looked out my left window and saw a large commercial aircraft aiming for the Pentagon." "The aircraft, so close to the ground, was banked skillfully to the right, leveled off perpendicular to the Pentagon's southwest side, then went full throttle directly toward the building. The plane vanished, absorbed by the building, and there was a slight pause. Then a huge fireball rose into the sky."

-The Washington Post

•  Robert Leonard: “I … saw a large commercial aircraft aiming for the Pentagon.”
http://www.america.gov/st/webchat-english/...l#ixzz22QlvdsoL

This alleged witness was contacted by Jeff Hill just after he had stopped asking witnesses which flightpath the aircraft took as he was finding the same pattern that CIT consistently found. That nobody was describing the official path. This one slipped through the net:

ROBERT LEONARD:  I saw it in my rear-view mirror of my car and then I saw it out the left uh driver's side window.  And um, it had gone over the interstate 395 that I was on, and um went, um to the area just kind of near where the Air Force Memorial is now, a little bit lower down the hill and um banked to the right, and um it put its engines at full throttle and then went, it was uh, it was, would be directly perpendicular to the wall of the Pentagon and um it just went full speed right into the Pentagon.

JEFF HILL:  So like the Air Force Memorial that's like, so it would have went over the Navy Annex I guess?

ROBERT LEONARD:  No it didn't go that far up um as the Navy Annex, it was like, it was below actually where the Air Force Memorial is.

HILL:   Uh huh.  And so like, and you seen it like...

LEONARD:  There used to be like, some kind of a gas station there, it went to that point.

HILL: Yeah yeah yeah that Citgo gas station so it would have flew over that or?

LEONARD:  It was over that when it um, banked sharply to the right.

HILL: And did you happen to see it hit those light poles?

LEONARD:  Um no I didn't see that, I think the, you see I didn't read about the incident, it's only what I witnessed, but um the light poles I think were on 395 because the plane was just um, just behind my car almost over it.

HILL:   Mhm and did you see that taxi cab at all that was hit by a light pole?

LEONARD:  No that would have been behind me.

HILL:  Oh yeah yeah? So it was like uh, where that, where that memorial is now in front of the Navy Annex.  It would have, I'm trying to understand what you mean when...

LEONARD:  Just the memorial would have been below what the path of the plane.

HILL: So like, I don't, what do you mean like below?

LEONARD:  When the plane banked to the right say over to the Citgo station and then headed toward the Pentagon, the um memorial, which I haven't visited, um would have been below the plane's route.

HILL:   So like below, meaning the plane was over it or?

LEONARD:  Yeah the plane was over it.

LEONARD:  It banked, you see it banked and because I was seeing it in slow motion it appeared as if it stopped over the Citgo gas station as it was making like almost a right angle turn, and um that's when it revved its engines up to full speed and like started its charge towards the Pentagon.

He doesn't describe seeing, nor can he physically see, the alleged impact zone.
In both his media and Hill's account, he's describing a sharp right bank (and mentions the Citgo gas station in Hill's phonecall) which contradicts the necessary level flightpath to line up with the directional damage.

911Myths

"I was driving northbound to work in the District on I-395 when the Pentagon was hit. I actually saw the plane in front of me, coming in at a very steep angle toward the ground and going fast -- I think I actually heard it accelerate -- and then it disappeared and a cloud of smoke started billowing.
Traffic stopped dead, of course; I was within sight of the first Washington Boulevard exit at that point. We sat there for about 45 minutes, pulling over to the side so emergency vehicles could get through. Most of us got out of our cars, walked around and talked to each other, comparing notes on what we'd heard and trying (mostly unsuccessfully) to reach people on our cellphones.
Police eventually made us get back in our cars and turn around, going back the wrong way down the highway. I got off at the Glebe Road exit (moving down the up ramp)...
The Washington Post, September 16 2001

Earlier, Mary Lyman, 47, of Alexandria, had been driving on the same highway, passing the Pentagon on her way to her job as a lobbyist in Washington. She witnessed the crash.
"I saw a plane coming what I thought was toward National Airport, which is very close. You see that all the time," said Lyman, an Andover native. "But this one looked different. It was at a very steep angle, and going very fast.
"I had been hearing about the World Trade Center before I left, and wondered, is this part of that? Then the plane disappeared, smoke started coming up, and traffic came to a complete stop," Lyman said. "We all got out of our cars. We heard another couple of explosions, and I ran and got back in my car."
"The police came and had us drive back the wrong way on the highway."

http://911research.wtc7.net/pentagon/evide...esses/bart.html

David Marra, 23, an information-technology specialist, had turned his BMW off an I-395 exit to the highway just west of the Pentagon when he saw an American Airlines jet swooping in, its wings wobbly, looking like it was going to slam right into the Pentagon: 

"It was 50 ft. off the deck when he came in. It sounded like the pilot had the throttle completely floored. The plane rolled left and then rolled right. Then he caught an edge of his wing on the ground." 

There is a helicopter pad right in front of the side of the Pentagon. The wing touched there, then the plane cartwheeled into the building.

http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8...74655-4,00.html

This guy's exact POV has never been found. The aircraft did not "cartwheel" and the Pentagon lawn was not marked by the "wing".

In fact the "cartwheel" statement isn't made by Marra but added by the journalist.

Departure Control.   When I saw the initial explosion I was not able to see exactly where or what it had impacted, but remember trying to approximate a position to give to ATC.  It was then that I was able to see the sun reflecting off the Potomac and the runway at Wash.

Fire Captain Steve McCoy and his crew are traveling north on Interstate 395 in ACFD Engine 101, for a training session in Crystal City. McCoy reportedly sees “a commercial airliner in steep descent, banking sharply to its right before disappearing beyond the horizon,” followed by “a tremendous explosion” and “a massive plume of smoke and fire.” He immediately radioes ECC and reports, “We got a plane down, it looks like in the Crystal City area by the 14th Street Bridge.” Being aware of the attacks on the World Trade Center, he advises that the FBI should be notified, as this is a possible terrorist attack

I don't know what made me look up, but I did and I saw a very low-flying American Airlines plane that seemed to be accelerating. My first thought was just 'No, no, no, no,' because it was obvious the plane was not heading to nearby Reagan National Airport. It was going to crash."

In the extended media piece she says

Fire trucks started to appear so I and others on the road tried to move out of the way.

Were there firetrucks arriving along this section of motorway?

Her alleged POV needs to be established but her "it was going to crash" statement indicates that she had no view.

Remember, and this is crucial (and usually ignored by detractors), she is on record, as are multiple witnesses in this area, as saying that there was heavy traffic. the images above are of a virtually clear road.

Either way, her testimony is ambiguous and is most certainly open to bias.

McGraw estimates that the plane passed about 20 feet over his car, as he waited in the left hand lane of the road, on the side closest to the Pentagon. "The plane clipped the top of a light pole just before it got to us, injuring a taxi driver, whose taxi was just a few feet away from my car. "I saw it crash into the building," he said. "My only memories really were that it looked like a plane coming in for a landing. I mean in the sense that it was controlled and sort of straight. That was my impression," he said. "There was an explosion and a loud noise and I felt the impact. I remember seeing a fireball come out of two windows (of the Pentagon). I saw an explosion of fire billowing through those two windows.

"I could now only see the tail of the aircraft. I believe I saw the tail dip slightly to the right indicating a minor turn in that direction. The tail was barely visible when I saw the flash and subsequent fireball rise approximately 200 feet above the Pentagon. There was a large explosion noise and the low frequency sound echo that comes with this type of sound. Associated with that was the increase in air pressure, momentarily, like a small gust of wind. For those formerly in the military, it sounded like a 2000lb bomb going off roughly 1/2 mile in front of you.

It was a nightmare coming to life. The plane, with red and blue markings, hurtled by and within moments exploded in a ground-shaking "whoomp" as it appeared to hit the side of the Pentagon. A huge flash of orange flame and black smoke poured into the sky. Smoke seemed to change from black to white, forming a billowing column in the sky."

From his description of events ("hurtled by"), he has passed the Pentagon on the I-395 motorway that runs along beside the south parking lot to the bottom of the following overhead image:

Given that he claims that the aircraft "appear[ed] to hit the side of the Pentagon" and lack of description we can deduce that he is not a witness to an alleged impact.

At that instant, a tremendous explosion with what Mr. Murphy said was a noise "louder than any noise he had ever heard" shook the room. Mr. Murphy, who had been standing with his back to the window, was knocked entirely across the room

Inside the Pentagon. Not a witness.

General Richard Myers, vice-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that before the crash into the Pentagon, military officials had been notified that another hijacked plane had been heading from the New York area to Washington.

"The plane exploded after it hit, the tail came off and it began burning immediately. Within five minutes, police and emergency vehicles began arriving," said Vin Narayanan, a reporter at USA TODAY.com, who was driving near the Pentagon when the plane hit.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2001/09/11/washscene.htm

He also said this:

"At 9:35 a.m., I pulled alongside the Pentagon. With traffic at a standstill, my eyes wandered around the road, looking for the cause of the traffic jam. Then I looked up to my left and saw an American Airlines jet flying right at me. The jet roared over my head, clearing my car by about 25 feet. The tail of the plane clipped the overhanging exit sign above me as it headed straight at the Pentagon.

"The windows were dark on American Airlines Flight 77 as it streaked toward its target, only 50 yards away."

"The hijacked jet slammed into the Pentagon at a ferocious speed. But the Pentagon's wall held up like a champ. It barely budged as the nose of the plane curled upwards and crumpled before exploding into a massive fireball..... I think I saw the bodies of passengers burning. But I'm not sure. It could have been Pentagon workers. It could have been my mind playing tricks on me."
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/...rst-person.htm

And this:

Vin: Actually, that huge fireball exploded right toward me. I was on the road right next to where the American Airlines jet hit Pentagon wall. That wall is about 50 yards from the road. I was listening to the WTC coverage as well when I looked up to the left and saw a plane flying at my car. At first, I thought it was heading toward National just to get out of the air. But the closer it got, the more it looked like it was going to hit my car. The tail of the jet clipped an overhanging exit sign above me on it's way down. Then it slammed into the Pentagon wall.

There is a recurring theme throughout the witness pool (allegedly) within the Pentagon basin. They describe everything bar the official path. Specifically those who found themselves on Route 27 (the road the runs in front of the alleged impact side)

Aldo Marquis phoned Vin Narayanan (@27:50mins)

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3383333411025014760#

27:50 :

ALDO: So you were under an overhead sign. Correct?

NARANYAN: ..I was under an exit sign, basically..I was just before the exit sign..the exit sign was on the approach.

ALDO: And you say the tail actually hit the sign?

NARANYAN: It clipped it..

(...)

ALDO: So did you see it clip any lightpoles?

NARANYAN : No, it didn't clip any lightpoles or anything like that.. it didn't clip any lightpoles, just the exit sign.

So where was he and how does his description fit in with the official path and impact?

Was he referring to the exit sign that is just before the poles on the official path?

http://i25.tinypic.com/6z7fyd.jpg

He saw no lightpoles being struck. He was adamant (even indignant) about that.
He also claimed that there were no trees obstructing his view.

These are the trees Aldo was referring to with the exit sign he is supposedly referring to

And the best idea of the view:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOmrp-A8Vxk

The relevance of these details? Look at this overhead. He places himself supposedly before the first exit sign where the trees are.

http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/9001/el...perspective.jpg

The official flightpath has the aircraft arriving from behind his perspective and not looking to his left (the official speed would have it covering this area between the Navy Annex and Route 27 in 2 seconds!). The trees would most definitely have been at least within his line of view. And how would the fireball explode "right toward" him?

He had to be further up the road where the NOC witnesses drew their paths.

His description of the nose "curling up", the "tail" falling off, and seeing "passengers burning", like his story, is journalistic embellishment.
