From another post in reply to the claim that the plane was moving slowly. Even this contains two references to the plane hitting the Pentagon.
Morin: "...the throttles were steady and full."
Creed: "...going full speed, going full throttle..."
Liebner: "It was wheels up, flaps up, engines full throttle. "
Marra: "...the pilot had the throttle completely floored."
Snaman: "...came in low at full throttle, banked left and smashed into the wall of the Pentagon."Khavkin: "The engine was at full throttle."
Regnery: "...apparently at full throttle ....this plane was too low and going too fast..."
Leonard: "...then went full throttle directly toward the building."
Owens: "I didn't think the careering, full-throttled craft would get that far."
Martinez: "...a big jet flying close to the building coming at full speed."
Clem: "...above treetop height at full speed headed for the Pentagon."
Plaisted: "...over my house at great speed and just above the treetops..."
Renzi: "...with incredibly high speed..."
Narayanan: "...slammed into the Pentagon at a ferocious speed."
Sucherman: "It was coming in at a high rate of speed, but not at a steep angle--almost like a heat-seeking missile was locked onto its target..."
Munsey: "...almost noiselessly over the Navy Annex, fast, low and straight toward the Pentagon..."
Barbara: "...was coming in too fast and the too low..."
Eberle: "...a jet airliner flying very low and very fast..."
Gaskins: "...was flying fast and low and the Pentagon was the obvious target."
Benedetto: "Then the plane flew right over my head. I said to myself, boy, that plane is going awfully fast."
Wallace: "It was about 200 yards away, and was coming in low and fast."
Gus: "I saw the plane. Low. Too low. Fast."
Stafford: "By then it was vastly approaching. It was quiet thought."
Lagasse: "...the aircraft was exceeding the speed that would allow gear to be extended."
Middleton: "He kicked the throttle. When I looked, went straight into the building.".
Anderson " I watched in horror as the plane flew at treetop level, banked slightly to the left, drug it's wing along the ground and slammed into the west wall of the Pentagon exploding into a giant orange fireball. "
Anluaf ""Then it shot straight across from where we are and flew right into the Pentagon. It was just this huge fireball that crashed into the wall (of the Pentagon)."
Bauer "We looked out the front of our windows to try to see the plane, and it wasn’t until a few seconds later that we realized the jet was coming up behind us on that major highway. And it veered to the right into the Pentagon"
Boger ""I just looked up and I saw the big nose and the wings of the aircraft coming right at us and I just watched it hit the building. It exploded. I fell to the ground and covered my head. I could actually hear the metal going through the building."
Bouchoux "At 9:40 a.m. I was driving down Washington Boulevard (Route 27) along the side of the Pentagon when the aircraft crossed about 200 yards in front of me and impacted the side of the building. "
Bradley "I work in Washington DC area, and was on my way to work, in my car, sitting on a bridge, and saw the plane hit the Pentagon"
Cissell ''Out of my peripheral vision, I saw this plane coming in and it was low - and getting lower. ''If you couldn't touch it from standing on the highway, you could by standing on your car.'' ''I thought, 'This isn't really happening. That is a big plane.' Then I saw the faces of some of the passengers on board,'' Cissell said. ''I remember thinking, 'The World Trade Center was just the beginning, there's going to be more.' '' He remembers the helipad the plane flew over before smacking into the Pentagon was close enough to him that ''I could have thrown a baseball at it and hit it.'' While he remembers seeing the crash, Cissell remembers none of the sounds. ''It came in in a perfectly straight line,'' he said. ''It didn't slow down. I want to say it accelerated. It just shot straight in.''
Daryl Donley "It just was amazingly precise," Daryl Donley, another commuter, said of the plane's impact. "It completely disappeared into the Pentagon." The News Journal
"I could see the windows. I saw the entire plane and then saw it fly right into the Pentagon."
Eberle (a pilot himself) The aircraft was so very low -- as an aircraft would be on its final approach to an airport. However, if you have watched any aircraft come in for a landing, even though the aircraft is descending, it is angled up slightly.
This aircraft was angled downward. In addition, landing gear would also be visible on a aircraft so low and so near landing. This aircraft had its landing gear retracted. Finally, an aircraft on final approach is traveling rather slowly. This aircraft sped by very loudly an very quickly. All of this flashed in my mind as the aircraft passed from behind my left shoulder to in front of me. It was then that the other events of the morning crystallized in the realization that tragedy was about to occur. With all of these images spinning in my head, the only words that came out of my mouth were "Oh no!" With that, the airliner crashed into the Pentagon and exploded.
let's skip to the "W"s
Washington "It was extremely loud, as you can imagine, a plane that size, it was deafening," Washington said. The plane was flying low and rapidly descended, Washington said, knocking over light poles before hitting the ground on a helicopter pad just in front of the Pentagon and essentially bouncing into it. It "landed there and the momentum took it into the Pentagon," Washington said. "There was a very, very brief delay and then it exploded." Washington speculated that it could have been worse: "If it had kept altitude a little bit higher it probably would have landed in the middle of the Pentagon, in that court."
Wright "I watched this - it looked like a commuter plane, two-engined come down from the south real low proceed right on and crash right into the Pentagon. I watched it come in very low over the trees and it just dipped down and came down right over 395 right into the Pentagon."
I read almost every account and found none that had the plane about to hit or hitting an upper storey.
No one at all seems to have seen the plane rise up except Turcois and he says it rose up only to clear the roadway embankment then it went down again beyond the road,,,, and that is only if you believe Turcois in the first place(which CE does).
