It isn't awfully credible when eyewitnesses say things like "I could see it was an American Airlines 757". Though it may well have been, I'm basically agnostic on that question. I actually find the trajectory of the plane to be more interesting - why would a terrible pilot like Hani Hanjour not simply dive into the Pentagon, causing maximum damage with minimum effort, and instead perform these acrobatic maneuvers to hit the wedge of the Pentagon that was nearly empty, thus causing minimal damage compared to any other way of crashing into the building? The opposite side of where the big brass is located, of course.
