But anyhow. Here is a pic that a poster on the letsroll discussion board posted over there. It´s taken from the Sheraton hotel, and he has attempted to draw in an approximate flightpath.





Another poster at letsroll commented that, considering that the speed of the plane was so high that it would be only 8 (9-10?) seconds from passing the hotel, until slamming into the Pentagon, what we´re talking about here is really a manouver that "...would make an Imperial Star Fleet Commander proud."

Another poster commented : "I live in DC and look at the Pentagon every time I drive by. It would be impossible for a low-maneuverability aircraft like a passenger jet to hit the Pentagon from that side,(...). It would have to be a pretty steep dive - like the BBC video!"

He really has a good point. When you look at this pic of the area :

it just doesn´t make sense that anyone would fly in from that direction, UNLESS they had decided to hit that particular wing.

----------------------------------------

"Quiz" :

19 arabs plan to crash a passenger jet into the Pentagon. Their planning is pretty thorough.

Question 1 : Does their planning include taking a trip to Washington to have a look at their target?

Yes / No / Ofcourse / Ofcourse not

Question 2 : Having a look at the target ( driving past ), do they notice that there is work going on in one of the wings?
( Contractor trailors, cable spools, generator, people working )

Yes / No / Ofcourse / Ofcourse not

Quetion 3 : Do they conclude that the wing will be mostly empty, and so - if their aim is to hurt the american military the most - there will be little point in hitting this particular wing?

Yes / No / Ofcourse / Ofcourse not
