> [@reef\_shark](#): > > 'Keep in mind that there are very few available photos of aircraft debris inside the Pentagon: a wheel rim and a landing gear strut, and an engine combustion chamber. The wheel rim was in the non-renovated Wedge 2 by the AE drive hole. And despite the assertions of the author of the ATS post, without expert analysis, no one can say that the few recognizable airplane parts are unequivocally from a 757. Oddly enough, there WAS expert analysis… it is just that you do not accept those experts as being honest. We have at least one Boeing worker on the Dope, as well as several pilots who fly large airliners I’m wondering whether it’s worth it to ask their opinion, or if you will simply dismiss them as part of the conspiracy. > [@](#): > > Landing gear strut - appears to be from the nose gear - note how charred the area around it is. Yes. Charring happens in a post-crash fire. It is so unremarkable, in fact, I don’t understand why you even bother to point it out. > [@](#): > > We should note that we are not saying that “no plane” hit the Pentagon, we are simply saying that the damage and debris is inconsistent with a Boeing 757. If you do not believe it was a B757 then _what do you think it was?_ > [@](#): > > Below: More parts from inside the 757 - note the Boeing green primer on 3 parts in this photo - two circled. “Boeing green primer” my sweet patootie - MOST aircraft primer is green! Boeing does not have some proprietary color and wording it this way makes it sound oh-so-myterious. > [@](#): > > be sure that these greenish pieces of material are not from some part of the inside of the Pentagon or from another type of aircraft? It sure looks like crashed airplane parts to me - and yes, I _have_ seen crashed airplanes up close and personal. Even helped haul one off a runway once. Granted, it was a small aircraft but underlines my point that the green primer is nothing particularly special or confined to Boeing. Based on that, I’d say it was _extremely_ unlikely to be “some part of the inside of the Pentagon”. Can we at least eliminate THAT possibility. :rolleyes: > [@](#): > > The very fact that all of these parts and bits of “evidence” were NOT trotted out by the government and put on display for the public and experts to examine is more indication that if they had been, someone would have recognized them as something else entirely. What _other_ airplane crash are “all of these parts and bits” trotted out for public examination? For the most part the public doesn’t have the knowledge or expertise to make a judgment regarding plane crashes. Crime solving is not for amateurs. Sure, amateurs are free to speculate, some do it as a hobby, but crimes are generally solved by experts, not armchair theorists. > [@](#): > > No official explanation for the above hole in ring C has ever been put forward, and the ATS author studiously ignores this fact. The official Pentagon building performance report simply states that: > > “There was a hole in the east wall of ring C, emerging into AE Drive, between column lines 5 and 7 in Wedge 2. The wall failure was approximately 310 ft from where the fuselage of the aircraft entered the west wall of the building…” Seems pretty straightforward to me that the cause was _the airplane that crashed into the building_. Good lord, haven’t you ever read an accident report before? They’re ALL written in that same style. > [@](#): > > That’s it. The fact that whatever came out through this hole is essentially the object that hit the Pentagon and did the major part of the damage is apparently not deemed important enough, either by the US government or CatHerder, to deserve comment. ’ Probably because 90% of the world is intelligent enough to make the connection between “airplane hits building” and “hole appears in wall”. Your questions have been answered - you refuse to accept the answers. You insinuate there is a vast conspiracy _but you provide no evidence_ while _rejecting_ actual evidence of a conspiracy because… well I don’t know why you can’t accept hijackers crashing a 757 into the Pentagon, or the notion that the US has foreign enemies that might train hijackers. ---

You asked for the definition of operational environment. Sorry if you don’t like [it.](http://www.thefreedictionary.com/operational+environment) I didn’t make it up. Has nothing to do with if we are worried about an airstrike from the country. Try to follow this. There is one reason why I mentioned the Cold War. It was peoples perception that we had a shield of fighters ready to scramble and shoot down planes at a moments notice like we did during the Cold War. That was not the case. That was expensive to maintain and did not appear to be needed. If things heated up with a country capable of bombing this country then steps could be made. They weren’t in place on 911.

In reference of **Algorithm** asking **reef shark** if it was his contention that a plane did not impact the pentagon on 9/11, He replied: > [@](#): > > it is my contention that we, the ordinary civilian public of the united states, do not have the evidence supporting anything. it couldve been a flying pig. the cause of this is what im trying to expose How much denial does one have to be in, in order to accept that position. Wow!There is an overwhelming amount of evidence at the crash site itself. Start with the eyewitnesses, there were more than 100 of them, with a few of them clearly pointing out the colors of an American Airline jetliner. This shouldn’t be used as evidence? Why exactly? Take a good look at the pics of the jetliner debris and this charred body: [EmpTv.com is for sale | HugeDomains](http://emptv.com/research/loose-change-2#flight-77-wreckage) Scroll up and look at the table of contents on that link, there probably isn’t a topic of any of this 9/11 conspiracy business that doesn’t get covered in detail. This isn’t evidence to support anything either? How do you explain the DNA of all but one passenger (a toddler) on Flight 77 that has been positively identified as the passengers on Flight 77 as not counting as evidence of anything either? What exactly then, constitutes evidence to you? Look at how much you have to deny, by saying there is “no evidence of a jetliner” crashing into the Pentagon. Also by **reef shark** > [@](#): > > jesus, bc there were dozens of accounts either way, some saying it was a plane, some sayin it was a missile, some saying it was a commuter jet Actually that’s not so about the missile at least by eyewitness accounts.

> [@reef\_shark](#): > > for the 14th time, the mystery is why the fbi would confiscate route 27 tapes, marriot tapes, all NOT showing the actual impact. They were gathering evidence. They didn’t know whether any of those tapes showed the plane or the impact until after they’d confiscated and viewed them. The vast majority of them showed nothing useful, since security cameras tend to be pointed at the building they are securing rather than into the sky or at a completely different building off in the distance. And the few tapes they found which did show something relevant (such as the pentagon videos, or the Doubletree hotel video) [have been released](http://www.debunk911myths.org/topics/Pentagon_security_video). In order to claim that something mysterious or suspicious is going on, you need to claim that there were other videos in existence that did show something incriminating that have not been revealed. The existence of such videos is an unproven claim on your part. The fact that the FBI seized dozens of videos from around the crash site does not automatically imply that those videos contained information that the FBI wanted to conceal. ---

> [@Bryan\_Ekers](#): > > Maybe there _is_ a conspiracy to hold onto the tapes. The FAA and FBI can grab such tapes pretty much at will when there’s a plane crash, but the FAA has to work closely with the airlines (some say close enough to be in their pockets) and the airlines certainly don’t want footage of lethal plane crashes circulating on youTube as it’s bad for business, which was already taking a major hit from the aftermath of the hijackings.
