PENTAGON RESEARCH
FLIGHT 77
http://www.pentagonresearch.com/77.html
Flight 77 was the aircraft also known as tail number N644AA. This aircraft had the Rolls Royce RB-211 engines. This as well as the aircraft's status as "destroyed" can be confirmed at the FAA Registry here.
For the purpose of consistency on this website I will use 345 mph (506 feet per second) as the impact speed based on the following quote, "Meanwhile, investigators tell Fox News they are getting "good, solid readings" from American Airlines Flight 77's data recorder .....According to data on the recorder, the plane was going 345 miles per hour when it crashed."
( www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,34412,00.html - Copy & Paste). Local Copy
This aircraft was designed to accommodate approximately 200 passengers and 1,670 cu ft of cargo. The flight had 64 people on board, 6 crew and 58 passengers. A load of 58 passengers would leave about 3 out of four seats empty.
The aircraft had on board approximately 36,200 lb (5,300 gal) of fuel at the time of impact.
8:20 AM Flight 77 departed Dulles International Airport.
8:50 AM the last radio contact is made with Flight 77.
8:54 AM Flight 77 veers off course toward the southwest.
8:56 AM Flight 77's transponder is turned off.
9:00 AM Flight 77 is reported missing and a search is initiated. The Pentagon increased its alert status. A flight attendant called her mother via cell phone and reported a hijacking.
9:10 AM Washington control notices an incoming plane on radar with no radio contact and no transponder.
9:24 AM the FAA notifies NORAD that Flight 77 may be headed towards Washington. There was no attempt to evacuate the Pentagon.
9:25 AM Barbara Olson reportedly made a phone call to her husband. There are varying accounts of this call but it is where the information about box cutters and knives allegedly came from.
9:27 AM VP Cheney and National Security Advisor Rice are notified in the safety of their security bunker that a plane is headed to Washington.
9:30 AM Flight 77 is tracked on radar 30 miles from Washington.
9:35 Flight 77 is reported at 7000 feet flying more than 400 mph. The plane makes a high-speed descending turn to the right dropping the last 7,000 feet in two-and-a-half minutes.
9:37 Flight 77 disappears from radar 6 miles from Washington.
9:38 AM Flight 77 is reported to have crashed into the Pentagon.
In summary, Flight 77 was airborne for 78 minutes, 48 of them without radio contact, 42 without a transponder signal, 38 minutes officially reported missing, 28 minutes seen on radar, and 14 minutes with knowledge that it was headed towards Washington. Keep in mind that during this whole time-frame the attacks were taking place at the WTC and being reported on every news channel. Also consider that military intercept aircraft sat 10 minutes away from the Pentagon without being dispatched until it was too late.

The color of the flames

Perhaps the images you posted come from low quality cameras, but burning jet fuel should be a dark orange and full of soot, just like we saw at the WTC towers.
The flames in these photos seem a bright white, which implies plenty of oxygen, which implies a bomb. The color of the flames and the lack of soot should be investigated.

Let us not overlook, the fact that the so-called plane, just so convienently happened to crash into the section of the pentagon that was temporarily closed due to repairs, and no one was really in there.
Also i remember that day better than anyone, because i was glued to my radio, tv, and HAM, from 8am EST untill about 3am that evening. I seem to remember the first news agency's saying a truck exploding outside the pentagon, and also there was a quick story or two about a fire or explosion that happened directly behind the white house, i think they were saying it was in an old office building behind the capitol building.
In addition also, i read a news article from WWW.Rense.com around that time, that stated it was a young man, flying a small single person plane, that landed outside the white house, and blew up on the lawn.

Video of attack
The electronic news media have broadcast repeatedly the attack on the World Trade Center. They are perhaps the most dramatic news images since the explosion of the first atomic bomb over Hiroshima. Now word has reached us that federal investigators may have video footage of the deadly terrorist attack on the Pentagon. A security camera atop a hotel close to the Pentagon may have captured dramatic footage of the hijacked Boeing 757 airliner as it slammed into the western wall of the Pentagon. Hotel employees sat watching the film in shock and horror several times before the FBI confiscated the video as part of its investigation. It may be the only available video of the attack. The Pentagon has told broadcast news reporters that its security cameras did not capture the crash. The attack occurred close to the Pentagon's heliport, an area that normally would be under 24-hour security surveillance, including video monitoring.
