What's new

FBI re-releases dozens of 9/11 Pentagon photos when a plane crashed into it: See pics

Who is asking for crystal clear HD clips? Go and watch the clip again which you posted. There is a clear chain of events which can be easily established after watching the video. Till this date, American establishment havent come up with the video recording of the CCTV camera in and around pantagon which can establish their version of the story.

Have you actually read what I said?

I never said they can't show it because the image is not clear enough, the reason I bring HD into the question is to illustrate to you how many storage space you need for ONE SINGLE camera. to operate.

The camera (any camera) can record 24/7, but that does not mean we would have 24/7 footage from that Camera due to the Unique Feature of CCTV design. That's they are multi-Camera design, that mean they will need to LOOP thru all the camera because let say you have 4 different camera for 1 CCTV system, you record all 4 into 1 single storage device. And that device in 2001 can not be bigger than 120Gb, because at that time, the world is still trying to break thru from IDE (Which limited device storage to 100GB) And scientist made the break thru to 120GB in 2002.

Now, I used to work in Pentagon, I know exactly how many CCTV there are (as I was part of the DSS Counterintelligence team), but I cannot tell you how many there are, let's say it's 100 (It's more than 100, a lot more) Which mean 100 camera would loop thru the same 100GB Drive and record 100 different image in the same second, which mean it will take 100 second to pass thru actual time pass (1 second) which mean your time gap (or storage gap) is 100 second delay, which mean if I am looking at the Camera 1 on the CCTV this second, the next second the image was recorded on Camera 1 would be the at 100th second in real time, so camera 1 record on a rate of 1 minutes 40 second per frame, which mean if anything happened on Camera 1, unless to that exact second, otherwise it was not recorded again until 100 seconds have passed, because all other camera (camera 2- 100) have to loop thru and deposit their image to the server before it route back to camera 1

Another issue with camera at that time is their exposure rate is not really that good. It cannot capture a plane flying at 650 miles/hour

As I told you, Top Gear have done a speed camera test (speed camera should have the best frame rate and exposure rate because it would be needed to bust speeding driver) and their test say if you can go past 173mph, it is above the camera limits. And the test is done in 2002. You can go search for it on Season 1 Top Gear.

Hence since the storage and the exposure problem, there might not be a photo or video for you.

Depends on which angle and distance you are capturing the video. The CCTV cameras facing the aircraft would have easily captured the approach and trajectory including the time just before impact and stored the date file in central storage. That is the whole point of CCTV cameras that even if they are destroyed, the video stream is saved on the data storage.

It won't, both due to storage gap and the speed of the aircraft. See Above.


This is perhaps the only available CCTV footage of the attack taken from the security check post. (makes one wonder why they are not releasing the footage from the CCTVs installed on the building)

You do know that footage is what we called a Time-lapse footage? Right? It's the same as this


That is because the storage gap I told you before, the camera while they captured movie, but they store as a frame by frame because there are hundred of other CCTV camera trying to access the data farm and record images on the same Device at the same time. That camera show an unknown time gap. Which mean there may not be any footage if they did not loop it back at the exact moment.

Just because some camera caught a glimpse of it, it does not mean there must be one that capture it on record.

One can spot a certain projectile following a absolute horizontal trajectory, literally just above the ground where the angle of attack must have been more between 20 to 30 degrees from the ground for a aircraft like boieng 757-223.

This was the actual aircraft (registration N644AA).

Now compare the size of projectile which hit pentagon with the actual plane, while keeping the pentagon building and its size as reference, it really a case of "holding by straws" to the fanboys of American establishment. There is no chance of size of the aircraft flying literally at grass level by some rag tag "muslim" terrorists, even the best of the pilots cannot pull this off. You need to have a certain angel of attack to achieve your objectives and ensure success, if you are hell bend to taking our own life and others as well. Its a no brainer.

On the images itself:

I will let you ponder over this.

It won't. the problem is, the plane, the whole plane is travelling above 650 mph when it crash into the building. Which mean literally, when the plane felt apart, each and everything down to the last screw would have travel at the same speed before it rest, and with 650 mph speed, you usually cannot distinguish it between parts of aircraft. Effectively, the aircraft broke clean and became a shot gun. Unlike slow speed control crash into terrain, where you try to minimize the angle of attack and speed wrt the ground, the debris ended up "Skipping" instead of passing straight thru.

I have already show you the picture of high speed crash into terrain Here it is again

AA191-crash-site.png


Bijlmerramp2_without_link.jpg


Using your own eyes, CAN YOU LOCATE THE COCKPIT, THE WING AND THE TAIL SECTION OF THE AIRCARFT?

Most large debris would have but cut up and embedded into the building structure itself. It's impossible to get a single piece of intact debris if the explosion is internal, because you don't just hit with the explosive force itself, but also the reactive force to the structure you hit, which mean the debris would have been diced up twice or more time.

Even on a high speed crash into terrain without other impeding structure like the German Wing Crash, there would be some debris big enough to survive but not big enough to know where they came from exactly, now imagine these "Bigger" piece of debris got chuck into a building with a speed of 650+ mph, Basically, it's like you put a fish on the bender, you start the blender once on high speed, majority of the structure of that fish would be gone, but when you start the bender again, the smaller pieces that left would not have a chance.

About how to fly a plane into a building, you need to know in a Boeing 757 (My brother fix Boeing 757 and he himself flew the 757 a few time) once you know the location of where you want to go, your autopilot will take you there, and everyone knows where the Pentagon was, it is at 38.87099°N 77.05596°W, so , autopilot will take you there, and as long as you know how to use the Autopilot to intercept the Glideslope, you can make a descend very easy because the computer will make the gradual descend for you, the only thing you need to do is to control the throttle and set the rate of descend, which in this case is easy too, because you go in with full throttle and you are not landing.

As long as the "Rag Tag Muslim" trained on how to use the Flight Computer, they can ask the computer the fly the plane in for them, Boeing 757 is not an aircraft from the 1950s, you don't need to fly the plane yourself, it strange you did not know this.

Seems like you are professional, please enlighten us, what kind of fire or explosion will burn the building in this way? And while you are doing that, refer back to the actual explosion clip which I linked. The extent of damage shown here is disproportional to the blast and its radius. AND, for this damage to have occured, we have to assume, that all internal fire suppression mechanism and sprinklers in the building miraculously malfunctioned, just like the CCTVs!! Ofcourse unless, pentagon didnt have the fire suppression systems installed at that time, a possibility!!

First of all, any type of fire can cause this level of destruction, as long as you leave the fire burning.

And what you don't know, again, as with many conspiracy theorist is that, CHEMICAL FIRE (where you burn jet fuel with combustible material) and a FLASH FIRE have different properties, I already made an assertion on Chemical Fire burning on another thread about 911 fire compare to the Glenfell Tower, I am not going to cover it again.

But to sum up, there are 2 reasons.

1.) Chemical fire that goes with Structure damage will magnify the result of either one (Chemical and Structure) because not only the fire itself will damage the structure, the structure itself would have also been damaged by the unburned chemical.

2.) Many people incorrectly assume AFS (automatic fire suppression) system can take out a fire without little damage. This is WRONG IN MANY LEVEL. The first thing is, you don't know what they use to fight fire in AFS, most commonly, water, and it will do nothing in this case because it is a chemical fire, where water only will help spill the chemical further. Which mean spill the fire after it have started. Another common system is CO2 (or liquid CO2) because CO2 is denser than air, which basically work by CO2 will blanket the fire and separate Oxygen to the Fuel, and then break the fire triangle. But this is not CO2 suppression system, because if this is, then there will not be any survivor coming out of the Pentagon unless they can fly or float above the room, because CO2 would also taken out breathable oxygen and basically just suffocate the people that left inside to death.
Then there are another reason, maybe the fire or damage taken out the Central AFS system? AFS have to draw two thing, either the fire fighting component or electricity. One for fire fighting, and the second for triggering the AFS, if the line to either or both is cut for, say structural failure, then AFS would not work.

However, judging from the survivor being scramble out of the burning pentagon, the AFS, if running is probably running on water not CO2, not Foam (otherwise people will be covered with foam) not argon gas (or other noble gas) otherwise no one will be able to come out.

As a Pakistani, its not my domain to poke my nose into internal American politics, but here in Pakistan we do from time to time get to hear the unexplained fires in government building which on almost all occasion, burn the confidential and sensitive files and records. Maybe, it will be worth checking into what data, files and records were saved in this section of the building.

I don't really care where you are from, or what you think the America is doing, I care about your present your point without facts and most likely without basic to immediate knowledge on the subject matter, what make you worse than these conspiracy theorist is that you try to deceive people by "Claiming" you have an open mind to evidence, but in reality, you only open to "Evidence" that suit your agenda. All in the while if you have actually process some basic knowledge on how thing works and do some basic research, there are no lacking evidence there for you to "Believe" hence, you are selecting evidence to purport your agenda.

All in the while you keep asking why this and why that. that would suggest to me that you don't know how things work. you don't know how fire works (otherwise you would not have say AFS should be more than enough to suppress the fire), how explosive work (Otherwise you would not suggest this is a missile or bomb attack) there are only one thing in your mind, which is US is faking this, and you try to search for evidence that suit you and only play them here and ignore the rest.

If this is a case of court, not in the US, may be in Switzerland or Sweden, and you accuse of US government fake this incident and is alledged it is a missile attack or bomb attack otherwise a high speed control collision to a building, you will lost the case. And you know why?

I have show evidence that the crash is similar to the known high speed collision into building example. The Fire suppression system and how it work, how CCTV works and why there may not be an image for the proof. And the problem is, beside claiming no image exist publicly (in itself does not mean those image does not exist) and the explosion should not be that and should have been something else (Where you did not support your theory, and I have put in why this cannot be a missile or bomb attack) which mean all you do is made accusation, but not one supporting evidence you show are supporting your claim. And hence you will lose the court case if there is one.

In the end, if you just admitted that you are a conspiracy theorist, I may not actually interested in this conversation, because I see Conspiracy Theorist is people who know jack shit about something and trying to make a buck by making wave. But since you said you are "OPEN MINDED" That's why I am here to challenge you.

And in case you are wondering,

My brother is a Boeing Engine Engineer with 16 years working for Boeing and 10 years working in the USAF.
My wife is a Doctoral of Law and is a trial and case lawyer with 10 years experience, before that she is a advocate general for Swedish Army.
I am a former Soldier, trained with Sapper and Counterintelligence. With 7.5 years experience.

May I know your qualification so we can put it on equal term?

In the video you cant see a link between projectile and blast. Even if you go frame by frame.

Actually, for starters, besides resolution (discussed by Gambit), you would need to have cameras with a sufficient frame rate (f/s or fps) to capture a high speed event like we are talking about. If one flew between 565 to 885 km/h, that's between 157m/s and 246m/s. A CCTV camera might have any of the following frame rates: 1 FPS (= 157-246m flown per frame) vs 5 FPS (31-49m flown per frame) vs 7.5 FPS (21- 33m flown per frame) vs 15 FPS (10.5-16.4m flown per frame) vs 30 FPS (5-8m flown per frame). As with resolution, data storage issues tend to lead to attempts to limit frame rate to what is strictly necessary for the security purpose.
1. I would not question the speed of airplane, but if the aircraft was flying at the height of projectile, it is not a 90 degrees dip. It is not an agile craft like fighters so it had to align with the building a couple of miles away to reach this height in straight and level flight, unless it was a VITOL. I am sure most must have flown as passengers in commercial liner. Glide slope during landing can serve as a good guide to visualise the projectile in the video.

A pair of commercial airline pilots who decided to try the kind of low approach as apparently took place at the Pentagon in a flight training simulator. Although the pilots were not sure the simulator models such scenarios with complete accuracy, they reported no significant difficulties in flying a 757 within an altitude of tens of feet at speeds between 350 and 550 mph (565 to 885 km/h) across smooth terrain. The only issue they encountered was constant warnings from the simulator about flying too fast and too low. These warnings were expected since the manufacturer does not recommend and FAA regulations prohibit flying a commercial aircraft the way Flight 77 was flown. These restrictions do not mean it is impossible for a plane to fly at those conditions but that it is extremely hazardous to do so. But safety was obviously not a concern to the terrorists on September 11. An aircraft flying at those high speeds at low altitude would also likely experience shaking due to the loads acting on it, but commercial aircraft are designed with at least a 50% safety margin to survive such extremes.
One of the pilots summarized his experiences by stating, "... People need to realize that crashing a plane into a building as massive as the Pentagon is remarkably easy and takes no skill at all. Landing one on a runway safely even under the best conditions? Now that's the hard part!" While he may have been exaggerating a bit for effect, he does raise a valid point that flying skillfully and safely is much more difficult than flying as recklessly as the terrorists did on September 11.

If it was an airplane (I have all my doubts) then it was not an amateur's job. Flying airplane at high speeds low altitude needs high professional skills.

This is why people who have military aviation experience -- like me -- and jet engine mechanics were not surprised at the lack of large jet engine debris at the WTC towers and at the Pentagon.

People with aviation experience are still unable to comprehend as to how a commercial aircraft varied its path more than 90 degree after PNR and no one in the world knew about it until its impact with WTC?

All you need is SUFFICIENT skills -- for this one time flight.

Many tried to put forth the 'certification' argument...

OSLO — An aircraft mechanic on Tuesday stole an F-16 jet fighter he was untrained to fly and crashed it into a vacant farm minutes after taking off from an air base, the military said. He was missing and believed dead.

http://articles.latimes.com/1986-07-05/local/me-20219_1_el-toro
A record-breaking young glider pilot, now an enlisted flight mechanic, took an unauthorized pre-dawn joy ride Friday in an $18-million jet fighter based at El Toro Marine Corps Air Station, officials said.

He was identified as Lance Cpl. Howard A. Foote Jr., 21, of Los Alamitos. The Marine Corps said he donned a flight suit at 2 a.m. Friday and climbed aboard an unarmed A-4M Skyhawk. He took off from an unlighted runway, flew about 50 miles and returned to the base half an hour later, officials said. They didn't know which direction he'd headed.

And do remember Mathias Rust who at the age of 18 and in a rented Cessna 172 flew from Helsinki to Moscow.

People with aviation experience are still unable to comprehend as to how a commercial aircraft varied its path more than 90 degree after PNR and no one in the world knew about it until its impact with WTC?
Wrong. People with aviation do understand how. A radar paint is not an identification. It is only a detection of an object. That is what a transponder is for.

As main radar antenna scans, there is an accompanying query signal that essentially asks 'Who are you'. The aircraft's transponder replies and air traffic controllers associate the reply to the detected object.

If the transponder is inactive, the radar paint is still effective but now there is a loss of identification. This is where lay people are confused and led to ridiculous speculation, like your 'no one in the world knew' comment. That was nonsense then and it is nonsense now. Audio records from various air traffic controllers showed the hijacked flights were detected but unless there were positive identification, everyone was understandably confused as to what they were tracking.

Excuse me on radars each aircraft is depicted with its identification, even commercial applications on phones has this. We are talking of a commercial airliner carrying a couple of hundred of people not fighters. Even fighters are tracked during each flight even if it air combat exercise.

Excuse me, but that is what the transponder is for. Your cell phone has an equivalent. Each time you make a call, your cell phone must ID itself to the network.

I want to see the technology that has a radar skin reflection that will correctly identify an aircraft as an airliner belonging to United, Richard Branson's private Falcon 900EX, and a USAF ( not USN ) F-16. Remember, I want only skin reflection. No communication of any kind, not even from the pilot.

The terrorist pilots had more than just a few hrs. They finished ground school, which is more than a few hrs. Then they had actual flight time. Sufficient.

Nobody's probably gonna listen to me but has anyone here gone to the 9/11 memorial museum at ground zero? I have been there twice and believe me, it's enough to put the wildest conspiracies to rest. They have recordings of conversations inside the planes, both passengers and terrorists as well as recordings of people who were working at the pentagon at the time.
They even have footage of all the crashes which I haven't seen anywhere else.
If I remember correctly, there were 4 different recordings of the one that hit the pentagon, two from the wall mounted CCTV and two from the parking lot CCTV.

SUFFICIENT? Atleast i was not that skilled with few hours of training. The pilots who hijacked must be top guns.

I remember that the pilots were trained at one of those private flying courses in Florida or somewhere. On smaller aircraft. They weren't commercial pilots but they knew enough to be certified as pilots

There are more than one type of commercial pilot license not only that in multi crew airplanes there are requirements of simulator and certain, well sufficient hours required to be captain.

If so is the case why it has not been made public to bury all the theories once and for all. Putting it in a museum has already declassified the documents. And of course who will comment on authenticity of recordings?

You clearly do not know what is an Air Defense Identification Zone ( ADIZ ) and how it works.

An ADIZ is...get ready for this...OUTSIDE OF TERRITORIAL AIRSPACE.

An ADIZ is intended for INCOMING flights, as in from NON-TERRITORIAL airspace seeking entrance to territorial airspace. On Sept 11, 2001, all hijacked flights were INSIDE territorial airspace.

An ADIZ falls under military control. In the US, territorial airspace falls under CIVILIAN control, as in under the Federal Aviation Administration ( FAA ). Except for rare situations, the vast majority of airspace are public and the FAA has jurisdiction.

If there is a need for military intervention, the chain of command go from the FAA to the Pentagon. Even if there is an Air Force next door, the military liaison must still get authorization from the Pentagon before he can authorize any Air Force asset for FAA use. Things have changed now, more streamlined and lines of communications are better, but back then, that was how it was.

There are more than one type of commercial pilot license not only that in multi crew airplanes there are requirements of simulator and certain, well sufficient hours required to be captain.
For a suicide mission, you do not need any kind of certification.

A test or certification is for when you want a job in that field, whether a car mechanic or a surgeon or a pilot. You have to prove to third party witnesses that you can do tasks A, B, C, and so on, repeatedly and do it under strict conditions, usually safety is involved.

But if all you need is a diving maneuver, what benefits are there for you to learn how to land and be certified at it ?
 
.

I'm not saying they knew everything about flying a commercial plane, just that they knew how to fly a plane, the basics of it, the parts that might be common theory for any kind of airplane. Enough to do what they did once they got into the cockpit.

If so is the case why it has not been made public to bury all the theories once and for all. Putting it in a museum has already declassified the documents. And of course who will comment on authenticity of recordings?
Privacy maybe? Respect for the deceased? I don't know, maybe there is a reason, maybe there is not, but those videos are still there for the public to see.

Likewise, not credible evidence has been shown to suggest it indeed was NOT the plane that hit the building (where did the plane go?) but rather something else (like what?)

https://vault.fbi.gov/9-11-attacks-investigation-and-related-materials/9-11-images
A claim was made by the US administration (that a plane hit the Pentagon) without any proof so the onus is on them to prove it. No one else is making any claims so why would anyone else needs to prove anything! People who question are only saying that there is a doubt that whatever the US administration claims is probably not true as they have never revealed anything substantial and they are still hiding the CCTV footage!

I'm not the idiot that claimed the Pentagon had no CCTV.... :omghaha:
He didn't say that, he was being sarcastic that why Pentagon did not reveal the security footage from that day when clearly it's not possible that a place like Pentagon wouldn't have security cameras all around!
 
.
He has 'common sense'. We can trust him. :lol:

meh, as I said, I don't generally target conspiracy theorist....but since this guy say he is "open mind" that's why.

But all he does is raise question and without actual proof to support the question. And he is quite obvious do not process any type of knowledge on what he is talking about. He even go so far to claim the explosion is a work of Missile and Bomb...and say many "Expert" would say so.

I literally have not seen any "Expert" supporting this missile/bomb theory, first of all, there are no debris trail, where a missile swoop in on target and impact, the kinetic energy would leave a debris trail, the trail is missing, meaning it would not be a missile attack. Bomb would be strange because the damage is contained basically down to sections and level of pentagon, Bomb damage and debris have a random pattern, but this site have a very clean pattern, which suggest an internal damage. And if a bomb can do that, it must have been big, but then it would not make sense, because the bigger the bomb are, the harder to contain the blast.

Hence literally no explosion expert will not say this is either a bomb or missile attack....

Yet, he is arging with us with his "Common Sense"

Many parts of an aircraft are serially controlled, meaning the part's serial numbers are tracked, and in public transportation like airlines, an item can be in one aircraft in one yr and in another aircraft the next yr.

Correct.

There are all sorts of claims. If someone claims it is NOT a 757 / AA77 on them also the onus of proof. Let alone if they claim it was a missile, or a small plane or an UAV or anything else. The fact of the matter is that the evidence provided by government does not solely consist of a CCTV clip. All of its evidendence points in the direction of 757 / AA77 (go figure the statistical odds of that). If it wasn't 757 / AA77, what happened to the plane and people in it? What plausible explanation is there for their disappearances. What are the odds of that? Do that x4 aircraft, and you begin to get an idea for the likelihood of a false flag op.

He didn't say that, he was being sarcastic that why Pentagon did not reveal the security footage from that day when clearly it's not possible that a place like Pentagon wouldn't have security cameras all around!
He did, and even if he was being sarcastic, he was doing a poor job of it. Besides, the limitations of CCTV - from multiple perspectives - have been explained here quite well.

On January 20, 2008, 55-year-old Cathay Pacific Captain Ian Wilkinson and his 48-year-old co-pilot Ray Middleton took delivery of a brand new 777-300ER from the Boeing factory in Seattle. As part of the acceptance ceremony, the two pilots made a low pass of the runway complex before continuing with their onwards journey.
Cathay Pacific chairman Chris Pratt was one of the fifty or sixty VIP passengers on board the flight. On arrival in Hong Kong Wilkinson was congratulated and celebrated the arrival with airline executives. He even got a mention in the airline newsletter, with an accompanying picture of the executives raising a glass in celebration of the maiden flight. The flypast was, for all intensive purposes, considered to be 'standard' procedure, and appears to have been something that was conducted as a matter of course when taking deliveries of new aircraft.
As a result of this 'stunt', Wilkinson, who was at the time the Cathay 777 fleet manager, was sacked from his high paying job, and Wilkinson's first officer Middleton was also suspended from training duties for six months. What happened between the bit where the pilot was praised, and where the pilot was sacked seems to be a little bit of a blur!
It is suggested that the video itself was responsible for making information available to local authorities, which in turn forced Cathay into taking their own action.

This is for all those who were and still indulging in conspiracy theories.
Not sure if sharing FBI records will help a great deal.

But this shows plenty of cameras available. I think that was his point as well that why was any video not made available as it should have been. Other part was sarcasm.

What is you opinion of it anyway? With these cameras do you think video should be available??
