Flight 77 disappeared from radar screens over Indianapolis at around 8:50 based on the FAA transcript, and at 8:51 according to the 9/11 Report. Indianapolis is 593 miles from Washington D.C according to
www.mapquest.com. A Boeing 757 travels at a top speed of 609 mph according to the
Boeing website.. Whatever hit the Pentagon, hit at 9:37:46 based on the 9/11 Report. It is possible Flight 77 hit the Pentagon in 46-47 minutes based on those numbers, and times, and that a plane covers distances faster at higher altitudes... however, my questions pertaining to the Pentagon are more about... why won't they release the 85 tapes that show what hit the Pentagon? Why did the FBI confiscate surrounding cameras from the neighboring gas station and hotel within 5 minutes of "something", presumably Flight 77, hitting the Pentagon? Why weren't planes scrambled from Andrews Air Force base to take out Flight 77? Why didn't Dick Cheney order planes scrambled from Andrews Air Force base? He was at the PEOC by 9:10 according to Paul Thompson's Timeline. Why is Norman Mineta's testimony missing from both the 9/11 Report, and the 9/11 Commission's website? Based on his testimony, Dick Cheney was at the PEOC at least by 9:20. Yet, the 9/11 Report lists him as being at the PEOC by 9:58. Those are some of the questions I have about the Pentagon, and proves that your comment is a "theory" regarding Flight 77 not hitting the Pentagon... Whew... that took some work (as you well know because you and I are the ones that talked about it on AOL Instant Messenger)...
