Yeah. Let me know when you pilots decide to become interested in the truth and act like adults and talk to some eyewitnesses and investigators. Let me know then, okay? I'll be right over.
A summary of evidence that AA flight 77 hit the Pentagon (FDR-related links not included here: you're aware of those.)
First, an important message from someone who was at the Pentagon on 9/11. Please take it to heart.

“Shaeffer stood on a service road that circled the Pentagon between the B and C rings. A chunk of the 757's nose cone and front landing gear lay on the pavement a few feet away, resting against the B Ring wall.”

There were dozens of eyewitnesses accounts to the crash. Note that many of these witnesses specifically mention seeing a huge American Airlines jet hit the Pentagon.

Of course, for anyone interested in the damage to the Pentagon, the ASCE's Pentagon Building Per-formance Report is essential reading:
http://tinyurl.com/o4px6 From page 35: "The width of the severe damage to the west facade of the Pentagon was approximately 120 ft (from column lines 8 to 20).
The hole made by flight 77 extends along the wing line left, and especially, right, of the fuselage hole. It is not a cookie-cutter hole: that simply cannot happen with a reinforced concrete building. Note in the following picture the total destruction of masonry and the reinforced columns broken and bent in the direction of impact :

As for the question, "Where are all those Pentagon video cameras?" the answer is that the Pentagon uses live security – human beings – for its perimeter security. (Since 9/11 more cameras may have been installed. I don’t have information on that.) Here's a post on the BAUT forum from a Pentagon employee who was there on 9/11.

An excerpt: "Why isn't there more video? Without telling too much of what I know of Pentagon security, you would be suprised how few cam-eras there are outside the building. Humans actively patrolling a building's perimeter are a tad more effective than dozens of monitors which may or may not be watched at any given moment."
A brief look at the "A missile hit the Pentagon" theory:
1) No missile was seen or heard by anyone. All eyewitnesses report a passenger jet crash.
2) No missile debris was found.
3) Missiles do not carry thousands of gallons of jet fuel.
4) Missiles do not carry the remains and personal belingings of flight 77 passengers.
5) Missiles do not carry tons of 757 debris.
6) In the diagram linked below, the yellow dots indicate the broken light poles. The red line indicates the path a missile would have to take in order to knock them over. Or, the missile would have to have a wingspan of over 100 feet. The Tomahawk Cruise missile that LC suggests hit the Pentagon has a wingspan of 8 feet 9 inches (2.67 m). Light pole diagram:

What about missile defenses at the Pentagon? There were none. Some people may recall that on 9/11/02, portable missile batteries were placed near the Pentagon in case of an “anniversary attack.” In his book Against All Enemies, Richard Clarke writes,
The Secret Service and Customs had teamed up in Atlanta to provide some rudimentary air defense against an aircraft flying into the Olympic Stadium. They did so again during the subsequent National Security Special Events and they agreed to create a permanent air defense unit to protect Washington.
Unfortunately, those two federal law enforcement agencies were housed in the Treasury Department and its leadership did not want to pay for such a mission or run the liability risks of shooting down the wrong aircraft. Treasury nixed the air defense unit, and my at-tempts within the White House to overfule them came to naught.
The idea of aircraft attacking in Washington seemed remote to many people and the risks of shooting down aircraft in a city were thought to be far too high. Moreover, the oppo-nents of our plan argued, the Air Force could always scramble fighter aircraft to protect Washington if there were a problem. On occasions when aircraft were hijacked (and in one case when we erroneously believed a Northwest flight had been seized), the Air Force did intercept the airliners with fighter jets. We succeeded only in getting Secret Service the permission to continue to examine air defense options, including the possibil-ity of placing missile units near the White House. Most people who heard about our ef-forts to create some air defense system in case terrorists tried to fly aircraft into the Capitol, the White House, or the Pentagon simply thought we were nuts.
The Pentagon is only about 4,000 feet from, and almost directly in line with, one of the runways at Ronald Reagan International Airport.

When will the "Pilots for Truth" be speaking with any of these people?
We may disagree about 9/11 but good eye! My adopted Grandfather (Meaning he lived down the street form my Grandfather, and they were good friends and I liked him so I adopted him) was a member of the 332nd Fighter Group.
