What We're Expected to Believe for the Official Flight77-Pentagon Story

1) On the morning of 9/11, despite the fact that four planes were known to be hijacked, and two had crashed already into the WTC over half an hour earlier, the heart of the US Defense system, the Pentagon, (not to mention Washington DC itself) was left completely defenseless. Thus, there was no way to stop a rogue airliner from crashing into Pentagon.
2) Hani Hanjour, who supposedly could barely even fly a Cessna single engine plane, initially flew over the Pentagon and then made an incredibly tight (for a Boeing 757) 270 degree turn with a perfect descent to crash the plane into the northwest wall of the Pentagon
3) Hani Hanjour's aim with flying the Boeing 757 was so precise that the ground was not touched yet the plane entered into a hole in the side of the Pentagon that only spanned the first two floors.
4) the giant Boeing 757 (forty feet high and 120 feet wide) entered through a hole no more than twenty feet high by sixty feet wide, without any appreciable pieces of the plane breaking off and staying outside.
5) the plane's fuel ignited, creating a massive explosion.
6) somehow this explosion, which was seen outside the Pentagon, showered only small pieces of debris and no apparent bodies of the passengers outside the Pentagon. Thus, the plane's whole body entered through a fairly small hole, and blew up in such a way as to create a large fireball outside the Pentagon, yet very little of the plane and no passenger bodies were found exploded outside the Pentagon.
7) much of the steel in the plane was vaporized by the explosion.
8) although the explosion was hot enough to melt and even vaporize steel, enough remains were found from each passenger to identify them by DNA typing.
9) the flight data recorders survived the explosion and were recovered, but the data was apparently not interesting enough to release to the public.
10) the FBI has found most of the pieces of the plane and has assembled them sonewhere, but never bothered to show this to reporters.

The odds of all these things being true is fairly low, in my opinion.

The thing that I find most suspicious, is the 270 degree turn and the targetting of the plane's impact on such a small space. I don't believe the 270 degree turn was made by flight 77 (assuming it did actually fly near the Pentagon), my guess is that was made by another plane (a military jet?) whose flight path converged with the putative flight 77. I can't believe Hani Hanjour could pilot the plane so effectively into the Pentagon. I think somebody else was controlling the plane.

The impact hole and the explosion of the plane is suspicious, but are not out of the realm of possibility. The explosion, as viewed in the surveilance camera film, is rather large and not at all what was seen for when Flght 11 and Flight 175 crashed into the WTCs. Possibly the difference is due to the strength of the building and how the plane's fuel was released in the different cases.

I REALLY wish the FBI and whatever other agencies are in charge of this would release the flight 77 transcripts from the black boxes if they really have them, as well as show the assembled plane, if they have it.

I've long balked at missle/fighter jet/whatever theories, but increasingly I doubt whatever it was could have been Flight 77. Ever since I paid attention to the story, I've known Hani Hanjour wasn't flying that thing. I've speculated about remote control, but the evidence - as weird as it is - seems to support something other than a 757 hitting the Pentagon than it does that.

And thanks for your comment on my blog, because it pointed me to yours. Lots of good reading here.
