“Can you explain how a Boeing 757-200, weighing nearly 100 tons and travelling at a minimum speed
of 250 miles an hour* only damaged the outside of the Pentagon?”
A Truly Remarkable French Website
The hottest topic of discussion on alternative media websites today is the sudden arrival of a left-field
story into the crowded “What Really Happened On 911” arena.
A group of photographers in France are challenging the public to look through photos of the Pentagon
(of which they have an archive) to find any evidence that Flight 77 really did crash into the building.
They have built a snazzily designed English Language introduction to their remarkable website which
can be found at.
http://www.asile.org/citoyens/numero13/pentagone/erreurs_en.htm
“ Hunt the Boeing! And test your perceptions!
As everyone knows, on 11 September, less than an hour after the attack on the World Trade
Centre, an airplane collided with the Pentagon. The Associated Press first reported that a
booby-trapped truck had caused the explosion. The Pentagon quickly denied this. The
official US government version of events still holds. Here's a little game for you: Take a
look at these photographs and try to find evidence to corroborate the official version. It's up
to you to Hunt the Boeing!”
Central to the Asile.org crew’s novel new thesis on the events of September 11th is the idea that a 757
crashing at 480 miles per hour should have done lots more damage than it did.
The French Website introduction (translated by Google ) reads:
Thursday February 21, utopian Asylum met large turbulences. To answer the exponential
increase in its readers has (more than 15 000 for the only day of Wednesday), the site had to
be transferred on a new waiter. At 21 hours, it was again completely accessible.

Today, we reconsider the attack against the Pentagon with exhibits: a photographic library
of 50 images available into low, average and high definition.
September 11 in the morning, whereas televisions of the whole world diffused images of
planes being crushed on the lathes of World Trade Center, an attack took place with the seat
of the Defence Department of the United States. According to the official version of the
government, a Boeing 757-200 would have been crushed on the Pentagon. The journalists
having been held with the variation in order to "not obstruct the helps", the majority of the
images comes from military sources.
The consultation of these photographs, available on waiters Internet of the army of the
United States, however results in expressing serious doubts on the official version. It seems
indeed completely impossible that such a plane could cause damage also little.
We let to you judge on part. Here, gathered on the same site, the photographs of the attack
against the Pentagon. You can consult them in several formats and download them in high
definition. The initial legend, the name of the photographer and his service and the Web
page where the image was published are systematically indicated.
The diversion of a plane makes it possible to justify the thesis of the external enemy. But if
the cause of the explosion is not a plane fallen from the sky, there probably existed of
internal complicities. The enemy of the American democracy could be interior well. “

Disinformation Warning! - Not Everyone Is Convinced

Image of Wreckage on Pentagon Lawn – Albeit Not Particularly Convincing...
There is considerable skepticism about this report, not the least in light of the fact that it has emerged at
the exactly the same time that Le Monde has published an expose into Israeli Intelligence (See... Links
And Transcripts: Israeli Spyring Shocker)and its far-fetchedness might therefore be an attempt to pre-
emptively undermine the growing case that 911 requires further investigation, through misdirection
down a blind alley.
Whatreallyhappened.com, which specialises in alternative news concerning 911, is presently carrying
the following comment on the new website.
“# 03/04/02 Hunt the Boeing Back by popular demand!
I originally took down this link because I have a logic problem with the basic premise of
this page; that the damage to the Pentagon was from a truck bomb rather than a passenger
jet. If the plane did not crash into the Pentagon, where is it? But a lot of people emailed me
asking me to put the link back up, so I put the link back in.
CNN MAP OF FLIGHT PATHS...
http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/trade.center/map.html
Make up your own mind.
UPDATE: This story appears to be deliberate disinformation planted to embarrass and
discredit critics of the official story of 9-11 and is likely being promoted by informants and
other government propagandists. “

For his part C.D. Sludge can seem to recall seeing TV footage of debris from an aircraft being craned
onto a truck. Though the memory can lie.

Further evidence that most probably puts this report in the “weird, wacky and wrong” conspiracy theory
file are the passenger lists and biographies which appear all over the web.
The following is just one of many websites on this.
See... http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2001/09/12/victim-capsule-flight77.htm
Notably this includes a story on Barbara Olson, 45, a prominent lawyer and frequent political pundit on
CNN and other TV channels who called her husband twice as the plane was being hijacked and
described some details, including that the attackers were using knife-like instruments.

Eyewitness Reports Of The Crash....
Also from whatreallyhappened.com
http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/planewitness.txt
Link To Real Audio Of Eye Witnesses
Steve Patterson, 43, said he was watching television reports of the World Trade Center being hit when
he saw a silver commuter jet fly past the window of his 14th-floor apartment in Pentagon City. The
plane was about 150 yards away, approaching from the west about 20 feet off the ground, Patterson said.
He said the plane, which sounded like the high-pitched squeal of a fighter jet, flew over Arlington
cemetary so low that he thought it was going to land on I-395. He said it was flying so fast that he
couldn't read any writing on the side. The plane, which appeared to hold about eight to 12 people,
headed straight for the Pentagon but was flying as if coming in for a landing on a nonexistent runway,
Patterson said. "At first I thought 'Oh my God, there's a plane truly misrouted from National,'" Patterson
said. "Then this thing just became part of the Pentagon .‚.‚. I was watching the World Trade Center go
and then this. It was like Oh my God, what's next?" He said the plane, which approached the Pentagon
below treetop level, seemed to be flying normally for a plane coming in for a landing other than going
very fast for being so low. Then, he said, he saw the Pentagon "envelope" the plane and bright orange
flames shoot out the back of the building. "It looked like a normal landing, as if someone knew exactly
what they were doing," said Patterson, a graphics artist who works at home. "This looked intentional."
-------
A pilot who saw the impact, Tim Timmerman, said it had been an American Airways 757. "It added
power on its way in," he said. "The nose hit, and the wings came forward and it went up in a fireball."
Smoke and flames poured out of a large hole punched into the side of the Pentagon. Emergency crews
rushed fire engines to the scene and ambulancemen ran towards the flames holding wooden pallets to
carry bodies out. A few of the lightly injured, bleeding and covered in dust, were recovering on the lawn
outside, some in civilian clothes, some in uniform. A piece of twisted aircraft fuselage lay nearby. No
one knew how many people had been killed, but rescue workers were finding it nearly impossible to get
to people trapped inside, beaten back by the flames and falling debris.

He said another witness told him a helicopter exploded. AP reporter Dave Winslow also saw the crash.
He said, "I saw the tail of a large airliner ... It ploughed right into the Pentagon.

'Black Boxes' Found at Pentagon Crash Site By Rudi Williams American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14, 2001 -- Searchers found the flight data and cockpit voice recorders about 4
a.m. today in the wreckage of the hijacked plane that slammed into the Pentagon on Sept. 11, Defense
Department officials said. The two "black boxes" will help investigators put together the puzzle of what
happened during the doomed flight, said DoD spokesman Army Lt. Col. George H. Rhynedance. "The
voice recorder will tell what was going on in the cockpit," he said. The data box, he said, will tell what
was happening with the aircraft as it headed toward the Pentagon, such as its rate of turn. Information
from the two boxes will help determine what actually happened during the flight, he said. The recorders
were turned over the FBI. The recorders are now at the National Transportation Safety Board laboratory
in Washington, where technicians are working to recover data on the recorders.

Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman: Will the GOP election
theft machine do it again in 2008? - With record low approval
ratings for the Bush/Cheney regime and the albatross of an
unpopular war hanging from the GOP's neck, do you think that a
Democratic presidential candidate will win the White House, get
us out of Iraq, and end our long national nightmare? Think again
– the mighty election theft machine Karl Rove used to steal the US presidency in 2000 and 2004 may be
under attack, but it is still in place for... More >>
Michael Collins: Destruction of Evidence – Ohio’s 2004 Ballots - The 2004 presidential election was
mired in controversy all over the country. Candidate Kerry’s legion of volunteer lawyers was ready to
fight anticipated election fraud. Serious challenges were defused when Kerry conceded the election in
the early morning of November 3, 2004. Failing to recognize that candidates cannot concede the votes of
citizens, the news media and political parties called it a night... More >>
J. Sri Raman: The Return of Benazir Bhutto - She came back, she was seen, she
conquered - that might have served as the wrap-up line for the repeated footage on
South Asian television channels of a former prime minister's return to Pakistan on
Thursday. The summary, however, would not have stated the exact truth about the
event. It was not just the bomb blasts that made it a horrendous homecoming for
Benazir Bhutto... More >>
Cookson & Davies: NZ Post Colonial? Yeah Right - The orders are received. The
men prepare, put their combat boots on, cover their faces and load their guns. The
exits are blocked, the people are searched and terrorized and the activists are
dragged away. Palestine, Iraq. Afghanistan? – not this time. It is Ruatoki on a
Monday morning. The TV images of armed police blockading a small east coast
town will shock many, but we should not be surprised... More >>
Sam Smith: Why Hasn't John Edwards Done Better? - When Democrats talk
about things they don't like about John Edwards, they typically express skepticism
about a wealthy trial lawyer advocating populist positions or his $400 haircut or the
size of his 10,000 square foot home and 15,000 square foot barn. These same
Democrats - and the media - never talk about Hillary Clinton's $1200 makeup job or
the fact that when you add up the size of... More >>
Freedom Rider: Nancy Pelosi, Public Enemy Number One - Her machinations
since Democrats took over the U.S. House in January 2007 show that Speaker
Nancy Pelosi isn't scared of the Republicans - "her eagerness to cooperate with the

her leadership clique have never had the slightest intention of seriously opposing
George Bush, since they are quite content... More >>

"In this necessary struggle Scoop, and Michael Collins in particular, have played a
major role; and here again they have produced an indispensable report, which all
who still believe in our democracy must read at once, then send out far and wide.
"Urban Legend" offers still more solid evidence of a deliberate effort to distort the
actual outcome of the presidential contest in 2004--a race that Kerry/Edwards won,
and that Bush lost, because the red majority that putatively "re-elected" him did not
exist." - Mark Crispin Miller. See...MORE >>
