John Conner's view of Flight 77 and the Pentagon

Attack on the Pentagon

by John Conner

A lot of controversy, speculation, and conjecture have circulated around the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon fueling suspicions about what really happened there. Some conspiracy theorists and skeptics claim that no 757 had hit the pentagon, and the cause of the damage was from a remote controlled drone or a missile. These theories stem from Operation Northwoods which indicated actual planes could be swapped for drones and then blown out of the sky giving the appearance actual planes were destroyed. The problem with most conspiracy theorists is that many are unable to admit when their theories are proven false, often accusing that new evidence was faked. This is the case with the Pentagon attack. Proponents of the drone or missile theory claim ‘no wreckage from a 757 was found at the crash site, when clearly it was. (Of course this wreckage was planted they say) Most of the wreckage went inside the building, just like the wreckage from the WTC attacks. A quick look at the footage shows almost all of the wreckage went INSIDE the buildings of WTC1 and two.

Proponents of these theories also demand the wreckage be shown to the public ‘proving’ it was actually a 757 as wreckage from past plane crashes are pieced together in a warehouse in order to identify the cause of the crash. In the case of the Pentagon attack, the cause of the crash was known…a kamikaze suicide attack (or possibly by remote control). It wasn’t some mystery as to if there was a bomb on the plane, or if something malfunctioned causing the crash. In past airline accidents pieces are reassembled to figure out the cause of the crash or explosion. With regards to flight 77, the cause of the crash was known, and it was not necessary to resemble the wreckage to investigate this.

People who still cling to the missile theory or drone theory weren’t convinced by sketchy video released shortly after the attack, or by other video released after Judicial Watch persuaded the government to release a second video. Skeptics fail to realize that the security camera footage is not broadcast quality, nor is it 30 frames per second, and the plane was traveling at a high speed, preventing a clear image from being captured on video. Interestingly the Pentagon ‘no plane theory’ has been the most popular conspiracy theory to be addressed on the mainstream news.

The reason is that it is an incorrect theory, and so when uninformed people hear about the 9/11 conspiracy theories they can be easily dismissed as wrong because many people will have only heard this incorrect theory. The popular film ‘9/11 In Plane Site’ popularized the ‘no plane theory’ with ridiculous speculation and wild allegations. Dave Vonkleist, the video’s producer even said that the actual flight may have been crashed in the ocean disregarding the fact that debris, including the FLOATING SEATS would have washed up on shore! It is safe to say that the ‘no plane theory’ and the missile theory are red herrings, and simply are wrong. It is sad that many of the proponents grasp at straws and refuse to admit when they are wrong and only hurt the 9/11 Truth Movement.
