So the clock as given to the museum by Mr. Young. Perhaps he even took it without permission.
But I have news for you. The clock is not evidence. No one is going to persecute him. It's just a piece of history. He gave it to museum, he did not try to profit from it.

That,
coupled with the Smithsonian's own nicely prepared exhibit

a few months worth of federal hospitality for

Incidentally,
here is a nice craft project

mount and exhibit.

Why does anyone give a rats rear end about the clocks?

I dunno.
Ask Bob.



Seeing as NO PLANE EVER crashed into the Pentagon,
there is NO record of the time at which this non-event occurred.

In the case of the other three incidents, the seismic studies produced by Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory have proved to be a reliable and often quoted source of some hard 9-11 facts, not least of which has been the precise time of each event. Its findings in respect of the Pentagon attack are cited less frequently.

Plane-huggers like to point to the clocks
since they have NOTHING ELSE to point to.

Since the time of plane impact at the Pentagon had often been reported with large scatter, the United States Army contacted us to inquire whether we could obtain an accurate time of the Pentagon attack on September 11, 2001 based upon our seismic network. We analyzed seismic records from five stations in the northeastern United States, ranging from 63 to 350 km from the Pentagon. Despite detailed analysis of the data, we could not find a clear seismic signal. Even the closest station (Ä = 62.8 km) at Soldier's Delight, Baltimore County, Maryland (SDMD) did not record the impact.
