9/11 was an Inside Job

This picture alone convinces me that a 757 didn't hit the Pentagon.

http://www.g7welcomingcommittee.com/...gon1_plane.jpg
http://www.knowledgedrivenrevolution...agon_Video.jpg

I know the picture was taken with a fish-eye lens but the other objects in the picture are not similarly distorted.

Also, it can be shown that a 757 would not fit behind the box in the picture that's on the top of this page.
Flight 77 3d sim test

The height of the Pentagon is 77 ft.
The Pentagon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The length of a 757 is 155 ft.
Boeing: Commercial Airplanes - 757-200 Technical Characteristics

A 757 stood on its tail would be twice as high as the Pentagon.

In the picture we can see the tail of the plane but not the nose. The nose of the plane is behind the box. If the nose of the plane is just out of site behind the box we can see the length of the plane. If we allow for the angle and increase the size about twenty percent and stand the plane on its tail next to the Pentagon at the spot that's the same distance from the camera as the plane is, it's clear that it's not twice as tall as the Pentagon. Whatever hit the Pentagon was smaller than a 757.

These analyses are consistent with the too-small-a-plane theory.

Thumbs down Re: 9/11 was an Inside Job

These issues have all been addressed in other threads.

I strongly encourage you to look at *your* motives for insisting on seeing the most bizarre and outlandish conspiracies imaginable.

I'll on our site:

They murdered 3000 Americans and others foreigners, including over 200 other Muslims. And we look like idiots, folks, denying that the people who murdered our fellow citizens did it when they are continuing to murder all around the world. So we heard from you: you go away.

I think I did more than back my allegation. I think I proved it to be true.

What is the definition of "Conspiracy theory" here? Is it anything that disagrees with the official version?

Re: 9/11 was an Inside Job

The irrationality of your "evidence" is obvious to everyone but yourself.

You will never be convinced, so all you do is aggravate everyone you meet.

Honest, there is no conspiracy to hate you. You're just naturally annoying because you make no sense and you keep babbling the same illogical arguments over and over again.

How's that workin' for ya?

Re: 9/11 was an Inside Job

Hello, I'm another moderator here at Hypogaphy. Just thought I would weigh in since I have no tolerance at all for trolls or anyone who even looks like them.

This is a science website.

Conspiracy theories do not constitute science or truth. What they do constitute is mindless entertainment for bored teenagers, the seriously adled and the uneducated. We might put up with you a little longer if you try some other conspiracy, say, UFO Coverups, or faked Apollo Moon missions. But if you keep babbling bogus nonsense about 9/11, we will ban your ass with extreme prejudice.

Change subjects immediately or face the consequences.
Go watch Bigfoot videos or something

What deference does it make if it's A 757 or a monkey in a balloon with a grenade, it was still a attack on this county.

Ive got a friend who thinks 9/11 was an inside job. I constantly remind myself how lucky I am that I'm not him.

Re: 9/11 was an Inside Job

Bye Cosmored. Why is it that my best and most scathing anti-troll posts come along several hours after the troll is banned?
