While I agree with most of the material passed on I may not be in agreement with all. However there is much we can learn from some that we disagree with. Remember it was once thought that the earth was flat.

It is left to your judgment to determine what you agree with and what to act upon.

Here are the facts from the investigation of the impact of the 757 on the Pentagon Building and why it survived:

1. The 757 struck three different lamp posts on the way to the Pentagon Building. It struck Wedge One of the Pentagon.
   
2. The camera on the Pentagon records one shot every second. The 757 was travelling at about 535 miles per hour, which means it would cover a space of 785 feet in one second. The camera angle only shows, approximately 300 feet from the edge of the building. One second it is there and the next second the plane hit the building. No great mystery.
   
3. The time is 9:39am and the 757 is about to impact the building. The right wing was tilted upwards, the mark is clear seen on the building at the impact point. The Black Box was recording all this information.
   
4. The left struck the cement retaining wall outside the building, snapped off and is buried nearly two feet in the ground. Investigators find sections of the wing buried under the debris outside the building.
   
5. The left engine is ripped off when the wing gets buried into the ground.
   
6. The Black Box was recovered, Yes, it survived the impact, but more on that later.
   
7. At its furthest point, after impacting the building, fragments of the 757 were found up to 350 feet inside the building.
   
8. A bunker buster or a missile would have created a small hole as it was going in from the outside and a larger hole upon exiting; instead there is a damage path that is cone shaped, starting larger and going smaller; consistent with the destruction path of a 757 airplane hitting at 530 mph.
   
9. The concrete columns supporting the buildings structure were destroyed in a fashion consistent with an object tearing through the first floor. The columns that were space at the 65' and 100' were totally destroyed, but at 160' feet, the columns remain intact and survivable. This damage path creates a clear picture of what happened when the 757 struck .
   
10. The aircraft nose acts like a tank round, tearing an opening into the building space. The time frame is 100th of second after impact. The 757 has struck the first eight columns and is breaking up.
    
11. At 200th of a second, the mass still has momentum and the 757 is breaking up into softball pieces.
    
12. At ½ of a second, the Black Box, the flight deck record and the landing gear have nearly punched 300 feet into the building. They are the only parts of the plane that entered the building to be recognized upon being found.
    
13. 2/3ths of the victims inside the building will die from toxic fumes and burning fuel.
    
14. At impact the 757 is carrying 5,300 galleons of fuel. Some of this fuel feeds the 415 foot high fire ball that is seen in the camera. The rest comes into the building with the 757, which is estimated to have been moving at 800 feet per second, spreading out into a fine mist. It will cover the area, including the debris that is being created by the 757's impacting the building.
    
15. There is now a fire burning along the 310 track through the building, feed by the fuel and debris. Why didn't the fire do more damage?
    
16. One year prior the Pentagon had finished installing a new high pressure fire suppression system that could handle twice the fire that had happened on 9/11.
    
17. Shock waves from the 757 barrelling though the building damage the structure in such a way that if it had been a bomb, the damage would have been recorded in a different fashion.
    
18. The hole in the back of the building was created by these shock waves. Where 'A' and 'E' drives comes together in the Pentagon, is where the energy from the shock waves could release. Keep in mind that energy, once released, will travel through the path of less resistance.
    
19. It is now 19 minutes after the impact and the second floor structure, weakened by the impact and further by the fire, collapses. 30 of the columns on the first floor of the impact were destroyed upon impact. 20 were severely damaged. Good question, what was holding up the second floor, if these many columns had been taken out?
    
20. You have to go back to the beginning, exactly sixty years prior to September 11, 2001, when they started building the Pentagon Building. The original design for the building had in mind that the building would be used after WWII as file storage, because they did not foresee any need for a war department. The engineers put in extra beams, columns and steel reinforcements to support the heavy load of papers.
    
21. The original blueprints have the reinforced concrete, double wrapped and 'T' from beam to beam. Take out one beam and the beams on the other sides will support it. Each beam has a non-broken wrap going from thebottom to the top. This gives it additional strength and flexibility.
    
22. A total of 50 columns were either damaged or destroyed after the impact of the 757 along the first floor. The remaining columns support the second floor; many were bent or bowed.
    
23. Another feature of the Pentagons original design was the expansion joints that acted like a cushion, separating the rest of the building from the shock of the 757 hitting the building. Just like shock absorbers, except really large ones.
    
24. Note the collapse of the building happens at the expansion joint, just like a knife had cut into the building.
    
25. Another safety feature of the Pentagon was the windows. That's right, the windows. Did I mention that they are bomb proof? They were installed after the 1995 Oklahoma bombing. If you look at the windows in the after blast of the 757 hitting the building, you can still see windows that are intact. That would be a bomb proof window.

There was no missile or bunker buster bomb used on the Pentagon. The radar data shows the flight and what happened to it. The witnesses on the ground tell the same story and the evidence spells out the same story.

A 757 struck the Pentagon.
