4. Realistically, this thing is fluff and innuendo
It cites a lot of completely inaccurate facts, makes unsubstantiated claims about how the damage would occur, that sort of thing. Using that sort of unrebutted, fast-and-loose presentation, I could make a good case for alien abduction, or the Philadelphia Experiement. As for the eyewitness quotes, assuming that these people ever even said this, there's a rule of thumb in forensic science: one piece of actual evidence is better than twenty eyewitnesses. That's because witnesses frequently don't remember details correctly, change their stories, and perceive things in different ways.

I have to go cook dinner, so I don't have time to rebut it right now, but this thing has plenty of holes in it. Besides which, if you accept the assumption that some sort of missle or fighter jet hit the Pentagon, you have many more unanswered questions, such as the whereabouts of the people who were on the airline flight, where the missle/fighter came from, the reason for using a missle/fighter, the reason for hitting the Pentagon at all, etc..
