let's take a real close look at that comment about the tower swallowing the plane with little or no debris.....I'm no engineer, admittedly, and certainly do not profess to fully understand the laws of physics......but to my dying day I will never believe that a large object like an airliner can strike a tower of any proportion at any height and not cause immediate destruction upon impact. A knife thru butter? No, it was an airliner striking cement and girders....metal to metal....solid to solid, in other words.

Give a bit more consideration to the pause itself. That airliner sluced into the tower, paused, (stopped, in other words), and then exploded. Had it continued on out the other side of the building, perhaps (and only perhaps) I would be more inclined to buy into the plausibility argument. Blow up a balloon, then try to ram a pencil into the center without popping the balloon. Good luck. If you prefer solid to solid, try to ram that same pencil through a full unopened can of your favorite beverage. If you find you can get that entire pencil into that can without spilling more than a few drops of its contents or breaking the tip, middle, or end of the pencil, once again I say good luck.

Those nosecone poking into the building, maybe.....the entire freaking plane slicing through the walls (cement) and girders (steel) and leaving nary a trace of its point of entry (debris)? ? ? That is one hard sell.

Dick, I don't have even a crumb of the cake you and others have in regard to the "evidence" and arguments put forth. But I have yet to see a believable explanation as to the towers/airliners impacts. Explosion, implosion, impact is impact. The nosecone, the wings, the body, the tail, the entire freaking planes slice into these towers, once again I say, pause, then explode. No sir. Don't buy it.

Dear Sgt. Lagasse,

After getting your letter I must say everything has been put in doubt. You have been very good to share your observations with me and to let me share them with discussion forums -- me adding nothing to what you say.

And yes, I admit that the World Trade Center South Tower did swallow that airliner without scattering a lot of big plane pieces.

You are giving me details I have not gotten anywhere else and I would like get some more details if you can recall them.

BTW, I have put your letters, without comment, in a permanent place as article #20:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/9-11-demonstrative-evidence-of-frameup/message/20

This is where people go to get the photos and opinion I have put out on the subject.

I'd like to tie up some other details that have been endlessly discussed.


1. You saw the plane from the starboard side. Did the plane pass south or north of the gas station where you were pumping gas?

2. You did not say whether you saw the poles being struck down. Am I right in assuming that you did? Did you see how high on any of the poles contact was made?

3. Can you recall seeing what part of the plane struck any of the poles?

4. You indicate that the plane went over the Naval Annex. Do you recall how many stories tall the Annex is?

5. You indicate that you did not see the trailer being hit, because there in less than a minute to see it on fire.

> There was no steep bank, but a shallow bank with
> a heavy uncoordinated left rudder turn causing a severe
> yaw into the building with the starboard side of the cockpit
> actually hitting at about the same time the wing was involved
> with the trailer,

You were able to deduce that the trailer was hit because it was
on fire when you moved for a better view. You say:

> ..where the trailer was struck I cant speak of because rt 27
> blocked my view slightly to the right because it is elevated.

How much of the plane was visible to you as it went in?

6.The security cam shows a white-hot flash. What do you recall of the flash? Did you see the tail enter the building or the explosion?

7. The plane made an even descent and hit the building very near the ground. Did you see smoke or contrail or any disturbance before it hit? (If you have seen the security cam recording pictures, there appears to be smoke trailing the aircraft, the fin of which is visible behind the yellow parking pass structure.

8. Do you know where the notion that the plane "bounced" off the lawn came from?

9. If you did see the plane as it disappeared into the building, where you watching this from the back or from the side? (That is were you seeing mostly tail fin, or could you see, for example, the pilot's window?)

10. If you saw it actually going in -- did you see the tail disappear into the explosion or did the whole plane get swallowed by the building with the expolsion following or what?

11. You say the rudder was turned causing the plane to "yaw" -- what did the yaw look like, i.e., what do you mean?

12. You indicate that you were one of those who was on the grounds "collecting evidence" -- can you say when the order to do that was given? Are you permitted to say what the instructions were?

13. You say:

> There was almost no debris to the right/south of the
> impact point but I found a compressor blade and carbon
> fiber pieces over 3/4 of a mile away to the north on 27
> when we were collecting evidence.

Did the explosion appear lopsided to you?

14. Some reported that one of the engines landed in the north parking lot. Did that happen?

15. You saw a smashed engine inside the Pentagon. Which "ring" did you see it in? Had it been moved by cleanup workers etc. before you saw it (as far as you know?)

16. Do you know what made that hole in the "C"-ring?

17. Do you know (or have a guess) whether the engine you saw was the port or starboard engine?

18. Did you see airplane seats or luggage?

19. Do you know from firement or cleanup or your own observation, if most of the aluminum in the plane melted or broke up into small pieces or what?

19. There was a truck and a generator to the right of the right of the crash site -- can you tell me where the trailer that was split in half and burned was in relation to those objects?

20. Do you know why the security camera videos from the gas station and other security videos were never released after being confiscated?

21. And, finally, why haven't more Pentagon personell and firemen come forward as you have to put the rumors to rest?

22. ( Did you need special authorization to write to Ken Varden and afterwards to me, to share what you saw? Are military personell generally free to discuss what they saw with the public? )

Anyway, I am grateful to you for shedding this light where there has been so much heat and smoke.

As before I will post whichever questions you answer above, adding no comment of my own. This is a real contribution to history that many people will read and discuss.

I thank you for straight answers about what you saw that horrible day.

Sincerely,

Dick Eastman
