I was sure there was already a thread on this topic, but the search yielded no results.

Anyways, a friend of mine had this [flash movie](http://www.freedomunderground.org/memoryhole/pentagon.php#Main) in his AIM profile. I started to watch it and thought it was just some wack theory. But as it went on, a lot of good points were made. I Googled around after the viewing and found that there are a lot of people out there that believe a missile rather than a jumbo jet hit the Pentagon on 9/11.

I haven’t really thought about it since the attack itself, and I know it’s kind of late, but what is the general consensus? If in fact it was a missile, where did it come from?

There’s loads of threads on this. Search ‘pentagon conspiracy’ and you’ll find them.  
And when you read the threads, you’ll see just how way off course that flash is.

Here’s the thread:

In short: yes, a plane hijacked by terrorists full of innocent civilians really did crash into the pentagon. The flash animation lies.
