I think it is someoneâ??s sensationalistic attempt to make a buck. In each of those clips there are any number of credible explanations of the supposed anomalies. Assuming no video manipulation, here is my take.

In the â??Before The Collapse at The Pentagonâ?

Give me a break. What is this guy trying to prove? That there was some "evil government conspiracy" regarding 9/11? Yeah, and the CIA assassinated JFK :roll:.

Let me refute just one or two of his points. First of all, regarding the lack of a hole in the Pentagon: A standard aircraft is constructed mostly of aluminum. At that speed, traveling into an object made of solid granite, there wouldn't be much of a hole. The airplane would, literally, be compacted on itself. This also explains the lack of debris; whatever was left of the aircraft embedded itself into the wall. Also, I have never heard any reference to the "100-foot crater" that was supposed to exist on the Pentagon lawn. I don't understand why this guy is making such a big fuss about it. Obviously, there wasn't one; any reports saying there was wone were mistaken. Case closed.

Regarding the lack of windows/non-American Airlines: Has he considered that any eyewitnesses that day would have been in an extreme emotional state and were lucky to remember anything in an organized fashion? Could it be that the eyewitness didn't get a good enough look at the jet to notice/see the windows? About the American Airlines quote: was he referring to the woman screaming in the one video? I couldn't even understand what she was trying to say. Most likely, she meant that Americans were not flying this plane, which is true.

Regarding the "mysterious object/flash": I looked at those same pictures, and I see no object. What I do see is the underbelly of the jet, obscured in shadow. There's no "pod" there. As for the flash, I'm no airplane expert, but it was probably caused by some instrumentation/hydraulic lines in the front of the plane being destroyed.

Regarding the WTC towers collapsing "demolition-style": Yes, they did. The collapse was caused by the construction of the towers and the heat from the burning jet fuel. Each floor of the WTC was joined to the main vertical supports by a series of lightweight trusses. These were not designed to take the extreme temperatures of burning jet fuel. As the towers continued to burn, several floors collapsed onto those below. Eventually, the stress became too great, and the entire building collapsed on itself. Simple physics. In fact, this was explained in the very PBS special that this guy took some footage from.

In closing, I really have no idea what this guy wants to prove, but whatever it is, he royally screwed it up. If an 18-year-old can invalidate his claims with a few simple facts, they don't hold up very well to intense scrutiny, do they? :P

Edit: Dang, Dedman, you beat me to it :P. Another point I forgot to make is this: If one of the planes was a cargo plane, what about all the people who died on those flights? And what about the actual airliners themselves? Were they just abducted by aliens? :roll:
