The Pentagon Attack

The Pentagon Attack is one of the most controversial topics among skeptics of the official story of 9/11/01. This is because the attack itself was so complex, and the evidence so ambiguous, that numerous theories of the attack have proliferated.

• Sites with original research on Pentagon attack forensics
• Sites with original photographs of the Pentagon crash site
• Articles by various researchers
• Sites covering independent Pentagon attack investigations

The Frustrating Fraud This site, subtitled "The hijacking of the 9/11 truth movement by the no-757-at-the-Pentagon theory" does what few do -- take on the Pentagon no-plane/no-jetliner theory head-on and expose the errors of those promoting it.	pages with navigation	analysis of the the Pentagon no-757 theory
Arabesque: 9/11 Truth This discerning site has substantial analysis on the Pentagon attack and misinformation surrounding it. It provides evidence not commonly referenced in the "9/11 truth" literature, such as: 9/11 and the Pentagon Attack: What Witnesses Described.	blog	9/11 news, research, and disinformation
AAL77.com This site documents the investigation by John Farmer into the events surronding the Pentagon attack. Farmer has submitted numerous FOIA requests regarding a broad spectrum of information about the attack, such as a body of hundreds of oral histories compiled by the Center for Military History.	blog	American Airlines Flight 77 and Pentagon attack
it was a plane bomb Eric Bart is one of the foremost researchers on the Pentagon attack. His site contains the most thorough compilation of eyewitness accounts, and his conclusion that the Pentagon attack plane exploded just before impact reconciles the eyewitness and photographic evidence of the attack.	illustrated pages	Pentagon attack
Pentagon 2001/9/11 : The fraud ! This well organized site has many photos, and some crash simulations. It appears to take an unbiased position, weighing many different theories.	hierarchical document	Pentagon attack
Pentagon Research This site seems to have the most comprehensive and thoroughly sourced collection of information on the Pentagon attack. It takes a scientific approach, avoiding unwarranted conclusions. The site's section on eyewitness reports is its weak link: It references Gerard Holmgren's unscientific critique at 911Dossier.co.uk, and fails to note the extent to which witness reports agree that the aircraft was a 757-like jetliner.	illustrated pages	Pentagon attack

Flight 77 - Pentagon Event - 3d Test Has beautiful 3-dimensional mock-ups of the supposed 757 crash. This site is the source of the famous graphic showing a gleaming silver object in the shape of a 757 on a collision course with the Pentagon. The graphic implies that a 757 is more solid than it is. Jean-Pierre Desmoulins, the creator of the site "Pentagon 2001/9/11 : The fraud !," accused this site's author, who signs his posts 'xox', of misleading people with the graphic. Jean-Pierre wrote of the aircraft: ".. it was not a stainless steel solid mass having the size of a 757."	illustrated pages	Pentagon attack
physics911.net Has two of the most widely referenced articles on the physical evidence from the Pentagon strike. An article on 911-strike.com undermines several of the assumptions in these articles, citing crash simulations that suggest a 757 would be reduced to very small fragments in colliding with the Pentagon's outer wall. Pages on 911Review.com dissect two key claims of the Missing Wings article: that portions of the wings should have been visible and that engine parts from the crash did not match a 757.	collection of contributed articles and discussions	evaluation of physical evidence of the 9/11 attack
