...to research 9-11
Like many people on the day of 9-11, I was glued to the TV. Being inside the beltway, when the Pentagon attack occured I watched the local news reports as much as possible. Channel 7 interviewed one man who said "I was driving along the road here in Crystal city and saw an airliner flying low skimming over the parking lots..."
Since this was the only eye witness I heard actually say that he saw an aircraft flying low near the Pentagon that day... AND since NO photo exists of said airliner... AND since Donald Rumsfeld himself accidentally called the "jetliner" a "missle" in the Parade magazine interview... AND since the Pentagon damage was smaller in diameter than that of a jetliner... AND since the 100 foot section of the Pentagon that was hit was the only segment of the Pentagon that had been refurbished 1 year earlier with special reinforcement construction...
I THOUGHT I MIGHT ASK CHANNEL 7 FOR THE NAME AND VIDEO OF THE WITNESS THEY INTERVIEWED.
I was told they are unable to release any video of that day due to national security and respect for the victims of the tradjedy that day. I was then asked to verify all the information I had already given them at the start of my call...name, phone ect...
