View of the Pentagon but NOT of the alleged impact.
The image you posted is clearly a telephoto shot from crystal city.
Totally misleading.
I don't have a telephoto lens, just a kit lens that came with my camera. That is simply how the Pentagon appears from Arlington Ridge Rd. (with several high rise apartment and condo buildings adjacent to the spot)
This is from the same spot, taken a few years ago with my cheap point and shoot camera.
From here, you would have seen the plane come in, hit the Pentagon, explode, disappear into the building, and no fly over. Imagine being ~10 stories higher in one of the adjacent apartment buildings, and the vantage point is that much better.
Terrance Kean, who lived in a nearby apartment building, heard the noise of loud jet engines, glanced out his window, and saw "very, very large passenger jet." He watched "it just plow right into the side of the Pentagon. The nose penetrated into the portico. And then it sort of disappeared, and there was fire and smoke everywhere."
The view from I-395 is also excellent, as is the view if you are right on Washington Blvd such as where Lloyd England was.
