Lime-green lies?
Advertisements [?]
There are numerous photos and reports concerning the presence of lime-green pieces of metal inside and outside the Pentagon on or shortly after September 11, 2001.

It is alleged that the lime-green color
is that of the primer
that was used in the manufacture of the plane.
It is further alleged that N644AA is the plane that crashed into the Pentagon.
Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the pieces of metal painted with the lime-green aviation primer came off this particular plane.

Let us examine the facts.
N644AA was built in 1991.

Now, let us examine the primer.
Please pay particular attention to the DATES mentioned in this next excerpt which is drawn from a meeting of the
South Coast Air Quality Management District.
http://www.aqmd.gov/hb/govbd.html

BOARD MEETING DATE: November 8, 1996
AGENDA NO. 2
Proposal:
Set Public Hearing to Amend Rule 1124 -
AEROSPACE ASSEMBLY AND COMPONENT MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS
Synopsis:
Proposed amendments will extend the compliance dates for several types of adhesive bonding primers, fuel-tank coatings, solid-film lubricants and primer coatings from 1997 to either 1998, 2000 or 2002 because compliant coatings have not been qualified by all major aerospace companies. In addition, the VOC limits are proposed to be decreased for dry lubricative coatings.
http://www.aqmd.gov/hb/96112a.html

So, this hearing was held in 1996.
The date that the aircraft low VOC primer rule would go into effect
was to be changed from 1997 to a later year.
Please note that N644AA had already been built and was still flying the friendly skies while these hearings were in progress.
Please also note that by 1996,
"COMPLIANT COATINGS HAVE NOT BEEN QUALIFIED BY ALL MAJOR AEROSPACE COMPANIES."
Now the South Coast Air Quality Management District has considerable clout.

BACKGROUND:
In response to South Coast Air Quality Management District's tightening of Rule 1124, Boeing looked to qualify a low-VOC (<350 g/L as mixed) primer to BMS 10-79, Urethane Compatible, Corrosion Resistant Primer.
RESULTS
In July of 2000, after much research, Boeing Materials Technology (BMT) qualified Dexter Aerospace's 10P20-44 low-VOC primer system to the BMS 10-79 specification. The "-44" primer system has been in use for several years at Boeing paint hangars as an exterior decorative primer (as qualified to BMS 10-72 Exterior Decorative paint System).
<snip>
The low-VOC primer is glossier than the conventional primer, and it is more of a yellow green (as compared to the darker green color of the conventional 10-79 primer).

You now begin to see the problem.

The yellow-green paint,
Dexter Aerospace's 10P20-44
was qualified as a low-VOC primer system by
Boeing Materials Technology
in JULY 2000.

N644AA (the Pentagon plane) was built in 1991
which is NINE WHOLE YEARS
BEFORE
that lime-green exterior paint entered general usage as a primer at Boeing.

HOW IS IT
that a Boeing 757 plane built in 1991 using dark-green primer
is reduced to a few small pieces of metal coated with yellow green primer?

Does the lime-green debris
CLEARLY AND VISIBLY
demonstrate that something OTHER than Flight 77 hit the Pentagon?
