Pentagon
Hunt
the Boeing! And test your perceptions!
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

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!
