Tamara,
What happened to the plane, passengers and crew if it did not strike the Pentagon is
another question. You can not arrive at a conclusion that is highly questionable or plain wrong just because you can not answer questions concerned with an alternative - unless you are a government, or government agency
It may be that a Boeing 757 hit the Pentagon. But I think not, the evidence is either not there, or it is being withheld - like the security camera views. I doubt if many airline pilots would buy the story that Hani I-can't-fly-or-navigate Hanjour flew a 757 around, navigated a course change which brought him directly to the Pentagon, handled it like a fighter jet, rapid turning decent, and then down along the deck at 400+ mph.
These are the things the 9/11 Commission should have detailed and debated, instead of listening to people like Guiliani waffle on about why the command center was moved and other superfluous matters.
It must have been highly frustrating for people who lost family and friends in those three strikes to listen to hours of that bs while the real questions were not even addressed.
And the NTSB conducts crash investigations
on site. It includes all the physical evidence of a crash. They
also, among other things cart away wreckage, when the aircraft is "reconstructed" and the pieces inventoried. Some pieces are selected for chemical and physical analysis.
So where
is the wreckage of Flight 77? Where are the flight recorders? Where are the air traffic control data recordings and reports? Where are the camera footage recordings?
