The problem for you is while you can summarily dismiss an eyewitness you cannot dismiss seven eyewitnesses corroborating the same claim.
Let me remind everyone here that one of JREF's favorite argument for the Pentagon attack is "people saw the plane hit".
If you would like to have a thread which debates the actual subject and includes not 1 single eyewitness account of what took place there I'm more than open to it but that definitely won't work well in your favor.
Yes but it was pointed out to my attention that we can't rely on eyewitnesses even when they corroborate each other.
I was told that we then have to lean towards the evidence which I am told proves AA77 impacted the Pentagon. So I asked for a thread to debate this topic without ever using any account from an eyewitness since they are all so unreliable.
Seems odd to me but I learn new things here all the time.

I think this is an excellent idea. Let's toss out all the eyewitness testimony, especially since the vast majority of crime-fighting type people (police, judges, lawyers, etc) all agree on how undependable it is.
So, based on everything *except* the eyewitness testimony, TC, what proof do you have that the plane flew to the north of the Citgo?
Not our job.
Pardon me, but yes, that's exactly your job. See, let me explain how science works. There's a theory that explains your observations. Someone else comes along and thinks that the theory isn't sufficient to explain all the observations. So they come up with a new theory. For theat theory to be viable, however, it must explain not only the new observations, but also all the old ones. When Copernicus and Galileo posited the heliocentric theory, it explained the paths of the planets, but it didn't ignore the paths of the sun and moon.
So, for you to have a substitute theory, it cannot ignore the downed light poles that are perfectly explained by the official theory. To do so would be unscientific.
Please provide indisputable proof of AA77 passengers/crew remains inside the Pentagon. QUOTE]
Are you claiming that your 6 eyewitnesses are "indisputable proof"?
