In response to a Freedom of Information Act request by Judicial Watch seeking “all records pertaining to September 11, 2001 camera recordings of the Pentagon attack from the Sheraton National Hotel, the Nexcomm/Citgo gas station, Pentagon security cameras and the Virginia Department of Transportation,” the Defense Department released the video footage from previously released frames showing the 9/11 impact on the Pentagon.
According to the BBC the footage was requested by a non-partisan organization hoping to dispel claims that a missile, rather than a jumbo jet, crashed into the Pentagon. Below are the four frames showing the impact that I took from the video.
Neither the BBC article, Judicial Watch nor the Defense Department offer any explanation or even mention of the unreleased videos. As others have noticed, the video released today doesn’t contain new information and is not exactly compelling. You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who, not knowing the context, looked at the video and said it was a definitely a jumbo jet. In fact it looks to me slightly more like a rocket or Predator drone.
Judicial Watch seems to count this as a victory for the release exculpatory evidence while in reality it’s the exact opposite. The failure to release the video from the Sheraton, Virginian DOT and the Citgo just makes the whole event more suspect, which is also the opposite of what whey they’re claiming to be trying to do.
Also, what’s with the bright flash? The third frame seems to catch a bright flash of light. When the plane struck the Twin Tower, there was no bright flash, just a big fireball.
That’s not a bright flash.
It’s a problem with the camera adjusting to the initial flash of explosion when the plane (yes, a plane) hit the Pentagon.
Cheap security cameras probably dont have the best autofocus OR quality under rapidly changing light like, say, an explosion caused by a plane hitting the nation’s largest concrete structure.
Cheap security cameras have fixed focus. Rapidly changing light condition, like a flash? Either way it didn’t appear on any of the videos from the towers, even the ones from cheap cameras.
It is stated that a plane, flight 77 crashed into the pentagon.
If it was a plane, who was killed? This has to be a matter of public record.
It seems a pretty simple fact to check to dispell these conspiracy theories.
There does seem to be ongoing doubt aboout the true story of what went on at the WTC and Building 7 though.
So if those involved in the conspiracy were able to produce death certificates for the people they claimed were on the plane, and their family concurred that these people were in fact dead, this would be enough to satisfy you that they flew into the side of the Pentagon? The fact that were no plane parts at the Pentagon is irrelevant as long as the people they say are dead are really dead?
