The much-balleyhooed  "the first video of the plane crashing into the Pentagon on 11 September 2001"  released yesterday doesn't seem to be impressing the punters. As you know, we've all been suspicious of the claims for ages.

The "new" videos are here and here.

Here's a selection of what the blogs are saying:

If you're just the slightest bit intelligent and keep up with current events, you'll realize that the footage they're trying to impress us with isn't new at all.  In fact, that footage was available mere months after the whole attack* even happened. I guess they figure we've let our guard down since then and they want to inject us with a new healthy dose of angst.  Oddly enough though, the footage that's supposed to show the plane hitting the Pentagon, doesn't actually even show the plane!  Imagine that!  The "plane"  is conveniently covered up each time the camera snapped a picture.

What a bunch of bullshit.  The  "plane"  can be seen on ONE frame and one frame only of this blurry video, and could have easily been digitally put into the picture. (link)

Can you believe this new pentagon video that was released today...
More grainy video to try to debunk us that do not believe in the official version of the 911. We must be winners because the news keeps trying to debunk us as liars or idiots. (link)

What do you think? I'm no expert on planes (although I spend a lot of my time in them), but I can't see anything I'd immediately recognize as a plane in these videos.

Cam:

I cannot even wait until leaving my day job to respond to the discussion on show 124 about the conspiracy theories.

On September 11, 2001, I was in my office at the Washington Navy Yard. My organization provided IT support to a number of other Navy headquarters offices around the DC area including the Navy Annex and the Pentagon. The Navy Annex is located on a hill between the Arlington National Cemetery and I-395 directly overlooking the west side of the Pentagon. You can find it on Google Earth, I am pretty sure.

One of my colleagues came rushing by my office to tell me of the initial reports from New York. While we were scrounging around for some wire to use for an antenna (we had a television set for video demos but no cable or normal TV reception) he received a cell phone call from one of his technicians. (He was the operations manager.) The man was on a trouble call at the Annex and had just parked his car in the front parking lot, where there is an excellent view of the west side of the Pentagon.

He was calling to tell us that as he got out of his car, he saw a large plane fly very low over his head and hit the Pentagon. For several hours, there were assorted reports on the news media about a "small" plane impact, but we knew those reports would be found to be false.

Two of my friends crawled out of the rubble. The week before the event, I had met a young lieutenant in my Naval War College night class whose job was standing watch in the Navy Command Center - he did not come back to class because he did not make it out. A number of my immediate colleagues were assigned the task of helping to restore IT services to the people whose offices had been destroyed. I personally saw some of the debris and have seen hundreds of photos showing all kinds of parts of the plane.

In other words, despite my negative opinions about some of the responses to the event, there is NO doubt in my mind that the conspiracy theories are dead wrong.

All the best,
Rod
