This is I believe Part 4 now in my serious of very basic, fundamental questions about what happened on 9/11. Like the others I have high hopes that this is one any person familiar with the subject should be able to answer. I started this thread due to a recent derail in another thread, hoping to move that one back on track.
The null hypothesis for the Pentagon attack on 9/11 is that American Airlines Flight 77 out of Dulles was hijacked by a group of 5 terrorists, one of whom held a FAA commercial flight certificate and that said hijackers used the aircraft as a suicide bomb in a deliberate attack on the Pentagon in Washington DC. Support for this hypothesis is summarized but not limited to the list below:
1. Flight 77 and all those aboard took off that morning and never landed. If it didn't crash into the Pentagon, where did it go?
2. Flight 77 was tracked from take-off until impact by multiple radar sites
3. The FDR for Flight 77 was recovered at the Pentagon site and its 25 hours of data exactly matches the radar data
4. At least 136 witnesses are on record as seeing Flight 77 hit the Pentagon and more importantly, zero witnesses are on record seeing anything else hit the Pentagon. At least 26 were able to identify it as an American Airlines jet and 7 specifically as a Boeing 757.
5. The remains of Flight 77 recovered at the Pentagon site
6. The remains of all of the passengers and crew (except one infant) recovered at the Pentagon. Some passengers were recovered still strapped in their seats.
7. Personal effects and luggage recovered at the Pentagon site belonging to people aboard Flight 77
8. The airline and its insurers in spite of the resulting losses admit Flight 77 hit the Pentagon
9. The damage pattern (5 downed light poles, the tree with the jet-engine sized bite in it, the diesel backup generator) are all consistent with a Boeing 757 and match witness accounts
10. The damage to the building itself is absolutely consistent with the impact of a large aircraft and completely inconsistent with anything else. Purdue simulation confirms.
For those who disagree with the null hypothesis I am interested in specifically what you believe actually happened and list your evidence is to support that case. If for example it was not Flight 77 then what was it and what happened to Flight 77 and all of those aboard? How do you explain all the evidence such as the examples listed above which support the null hypothesis?
