 Pentagon Attack 9-11 review
The Pentagon Attack was not from a Boeing:
The DoD Pentagon Attack Legend is that the entire plane and its contents was consumed by the fire, which would be the first time that has happened in aviation history, and would defy the laws of physics if the fire was caused by jet fuel.
The Pentagon Attack Damage to the interior is too deep and too collimated to be from the liquid fuel of an airliner.

 9-11 Review: Pentagon Attack Errors
The location of the attack: The portion of the Pentagon that was struck was nearly empty due to a renovation program.
The aircraft approach maneuver: The attack plane executed an extreme spiral dive maneuver to strike said portion of the building from the southwest, opposite the direction from which it approached the capital.
From early 2002, some skeptics of the official story have maintained that the Pentagon was attacked, not by a jetliner, but one of or a combination of a truck bomb, a missile or cruise missile, an attack drone aircraft or commuter jet, a flyover by a 757, and internal demolition charges.

 Pentagon Attack Aircraft was an El Al Lookalike
Obviously then, according to those determined to undermine American national security, the attack aircraft was a remotely-controlled F-16 fighter or Martell missile, almost certainly guided to its American military target by a crazed four-star American general buried deep inside Cheyenne Mountain at NORAD headquarters.
Once the sickening footage of Flight 175’s attack run on the WTC South Tower had been seen in its raw form by the public, denial would be impossible for the Administration.
Every American citizen was obliged to watch the attack in raw form dozens and dozens of times, but it was left up to each individual citizen to work out why the attack was launched in the first place.

 The Pentagon No-757-Crash Booby Trap
In early 2003 Dick Eastman developed a "two plane" theory, which holds that the damage to the Pentagon was done by a small killer jet, such as an F-16, while Flight 77 merely appeared to crash, clearing the facade behind a pyrotechnic display and overflying the Pentagon in a kind of magician's trick.
That the controllers observed a plane being flown in a manner not normal for jetliner does not mean the plane was not a jetliner.
I became convinced that the attack plane was not a 757 based primarily on those two arguments, and only later re-evaluated my conclusions in light of other possibilities.

 Conspiracy Theory: Pentagon, Sept. 11, 2001
After saying -- despite all evidence to the contrary -- that only the first ring of the building was hit, he now claims that the first three rings were damaged by a missile.
As to the other rings not being damaged by the plane, it must be proven by showing that they were undamaged from the first floor to the fifth floor (See Answer #1).
The plane is not in the right position: Eyewitnesses said it was tilted at an angle of about 45 degrees.

Attack on plane raises fears in U.S. WASHINGTON (AP) — The government warned airports Friday that portable rocket launchers could be used against airliners in the United States, even though security officials believe the risk of another attempt like the one against an Israeli jet in Kenya is greater overseas.
The possibility of a missile attack is a major concern for commercial airlines operating abroad, especially in Asia and Africa, said Charlie LeBlanc, managing director of Air Security International Inc., a Houston-based aviation security firm that does government consulting work.
In the United States, he said, an attack is more likely to be thwarted by law enforcement and intelligence agencies.

The Egyptian government has ruled out an attack on the charter plane, which crashed shortly after take-off from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh bound for Cairo and Paris.
French officials said the plane's two flight recorders, which could hold the key to explaining why it crashed, had not been located yet.
But they have said the doomed plane was one of only two that Flash has operated in recent years, including all of 2002, although Swiss officials were unable to confirm positively that it was one of those they had inspected.

 9-11 Review: Pentagon Attack Witnesses
When the Pentagon was attacked around 9:49 AM, traffic was stalled on the highway directly to the west of the targeted section.
But not a single witness claims to have seen a missile, against dozens who identified the attack plane as a large jetliner.
It is doubtful that the crash of a jetliner would produce a sharp explosive concussion, emit the odor of cordite, or result in explosions seemingly before impact, as several accounts and the pattern of damage to the Pentagon's facade suggest.

Neither the plane or its engines would be able to slice through a reactor's protective concrete shell, which is several feet thick at the base, the study said.
Hijackers also could not nose-dive a commercial airliner into the top of a reactor where the concrete shell is thinnest, because the plane would break apart at such a steep angle and high speed, according to the study.

 Al-Qaeda Plane Attack as Cause of Oil Depot Fire Sounds Like Disinfo
The practice of using the statements of Police Officials, and who were not ‘eyewitnesses’, to cast doubt upon eyewitnesses, and who are those that had actually witnessed the events occurring, is a standard practice of Western Nations in keeping catastrophic terrorist event news from being heard by their people.
Immediately upon the attack upon this Air Fuel Depot, and again as stated in these reports, the British Government invoked that Nations ‘Official Secrets Act’, and which bars their Media from reporting the true facts and also subjects them to prior Government Censorship of news reaching their citizens.
The catastrophic consequences to the whole World should the Western Nations allow such an Israeli attack upon Iran appears to be the ‘driving force’ behind the move to remove the power of Israel’s Nuclear Arsenal, and to which this attack upon London clearly shows they are prepared to defend themselves against.

WASHINGTON – Sept. 11 plot mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed originally envisioned an attack involving 10 hijacked planes, including one he would pilot and, after all male passengers were killed, land at an airport and make an anti-American speech, according to a report Wednesday from the commission investigating the attacks.
The pilot of the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania, Ziad Jarrah, nearly quit the plot, leading Mohammed to consider replacing him with Zacarias Moussaoui, who was taking flight training in Minnesota, according to the report.
Later, bin Laden sought to have the attacks occur in June or July 2001 because Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was scheduled to visit the White House.

 ROBOTECH: Zentraedi Aircraft Technical Files - Gnerl Aerospace Fighter/Attack Plane   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The latter version was intended as a ship/ground attack variant, and therefore carried a weapon (the pulsed particle beam) that could hand out larger amounts of damage in a small area in a shorter time than the other model could.
The missile armament was larger in numbers than that of the standard Valkyrie, but even though several Whernid Awhaug missile variants existed, not nearly as varied and capable as the external loads that could be carried by the Terran mecha.
Hence, the shipborne Gnerl is perhaps best characterized as an interceptor with secondary attack capabilities, and the third model as a mediocre attack fighter, while the Terran mecha were more true swing-role designs.
