New radar evidence obtained by CBS News strongly suggests that the hijacked jetliner which crashed into the Pentagon hit its intended target.

Radar shows Flight 77 did a downward spiral, turning almost a complete circle and dropping the last 7,000 feet in two-and-a-half minutes.

Because the plane's transponder was turned off, it was hard for controllers to track the plane precisely, but ultimately the controller who cleared the plane out of Dulles watched his scope as the aircraft flew back toward Washington.

Controllers say the plane crossed the Pentagon at 7,000 feet and then made a sweeping circle to the right, during which time it dropped down to near surface level.

Actually.. the descent rate is closer to 4600 fpm from inside Vmo to 1 second prior to reported impact at the pentagon.

See, thats what gets me. People will say "they didnt need to know how to land the airplane, they just needed to know how to fly it. Um yeah, a person with a Comm license in a 757 for the first time, not aware of the systems (BIG difference from a Comm to a left in a 757) and is going to fly a jet by dead reckongning at M.74 (at MOST), do a huge desending turn, in a PERFECT circle, they going M.74 with no flaps, fly the airplane direcily into the Pentagon. MMMM, throttle=altitude and with a jet, it works a bit different because of the huge engines (for a while). Wow, I don't know everyhting about avaition at all, but I can tell you that is pretty much impossible.

With a decsent rate of 2800 FPM and slaming into a building thats only what, 60ft high and going m.74? NO, no one is going to stand there and tell me that. You would go way tooo fast in that decent rate and flight path and lose control of the airplane is a basic spin configuration. Also, the 757 has autothrottles, good luck managing autothrottles for the first time. To descend at that rate, you would probably need about 60% on the throttles. While you can read all teh specs and limitations all you want, nothing is pilot training manuals tell you how to fly a plane or land it. FOr it to descend without gaining airspeed, it would need flaps. I have never heard anything about flaps yet.

Im only a student pilot, but I can tell you with what little experience I have, something is not right with the official story.

Capt. Russ Wittenberg, U.S. Air Force – Former Air Force fighter pilot with over 100 combat missions.  Commercial pilot for Pan Am and United Airlines for 35 years, flying 707, 720, 727, 737, 747, 757, 767, and 777 ’s.  Had previously flown the actual two United Airlines airplanes that were hijacked on 9/11 (Flight 93, which impacted in Pennsylvania, and Flight 175, the second plane to hit the WTC).

Article 7/17/05:  "The government story they handed us about 9/11 is total B.S. plain and simple." … Wittenberg convincingly argued there was absolutely no possibility that Flight 77 could have "descended 7,000 feet in two minutes, all the while performing a steep 270 degree banked turn before crashing into the Pentagon's first floor wall without touching the lawn."… 

"For a guy to just jump into the cockpit and fly like an ace is impossible - there is not one chance in a thousand," said Wittenberg, recalling that when he made the jump from Boeing 727's to the highly sophisticated computerized characteristics of the 737's through 767's it took him considerable time to feel comfortable flying." http://www.arcticbeacon.com


Audio Interview 9/16/04: Regarding Flight 77, which allegedly hit the Pentagon.  "The airplane could not have flown at those speeds which they said it did without going into what they call a high speed stall.  The airplane won’t go that fast if you start pulling those high G maneuvers at those bank angles. … To expect this alleged airplane to run these maneuvers with a total amateur at the controls is simply ludicrous...

It’s roughly a 100 ton airplane.  And an airplane that weighs 100 tons all assembled is still going to have 100 tons of disassembled trash and parts after it hits a building.  There was no wreckage from a 757 at the Pentagon. … The vehicle that hit the Pentagon was not Flight 77.  We think, as you may have heard before, it was a cruise missile." http://911underground.com

Controllers say the plane crossed the Pentagon at 7,000 feet and then made a sweeping circle to the right, during which time it dropped down to near surface level

At 9:36 a.m., National Airport, which was on American 77's flight path, asked a military C-130 cargo plane, taking off on a scheduled flight from Andrews Air Force Base — in Maryland, on the other side of the District of Columbia — to intercept and identify the fast-moving target. The crew of the C-130 said it was a Boeing 757, moving low and fast.

The airplane was headed for the heart of Washington. But as it crossed the Pentagon at perhaps 7,000 feet — the exact altitude is uncertain because its transponder had been turned off — it began a 360- degree turn to the right that brought nearly to ground level. It crashed into the west side of the Pentagon at 9:38 a.m.
