The complex topography,
landscape, and sheer size of the
Pentagon create a scenario where people on the
alleged impact side of the Pentagon
-- who would even have a view of this
portion of the
building at all -- would most
readily be fooled by
the sleight of hand deception of a
plane timed perfectly with the
explosion.
However, there are some areas of
395 and up in the
Crystal City high-rises
where people would have been
able to see the plane on the
east side of the Pentagon after
the explosion, or possibly even
the whole flyover if they
happened to already be looking
out the window in that direction
when the plane approached. For
example, here is a shot from the
top floor of the Double Tree
hotel that shows what would have
been a good view of the flyover
if someone was in this room
looking out the window in this
direction as opposed to glued to
their TV watching the horror
unfolding in NYC. (This was
likely the case for most, as
there are VERY few eyewitness
reports from the Crystal City
highrises).
Any
talk about a "2nd plane" at all
would help provide an
explanation for the people who
saw the flyover and were
confused about what they saw in
relation to the official impact
narrative. There
definitely were planes that were
in the airspace minutes after
the attack but there were false
reports of a "2nd plane"
that allegedly "shadowed" the AA jet
and "veered away" over the Pentagon
during the explosion. The
only planes that have been
confirmed in the airspace near the
time of the attack came in several
minutes later. Specifically
there was a C-130 near the
Pentagon and an E4B over DC
skies, both didn't appear until
about three minutes or more
after the explosion. Both
of these planes have been
shrouded in mystery and
speculation. News reports of
these planes were ambiguously
blended with the flyover via fabricated accounts of
some sort of second military
plane/jet shadowing/chasing along
the same flight path and then veering
off/peeling off and up into the
air. Anyone who might have
seen the flyover jet would have
been thrown off by these
fabricated accounts that place a 2nd plane
in the airspace at the same time of impact,
essentially veering away
simultaneously with the explosion...
USA
Today reporter Vin
Narayanan:
-"I hopped out of my car
after the jet exploded, nearly
oblivious to a second *jet* hovering
in the skies".
USA
Today editor Joel Sucherman:
-Sucherman saw another
plane
climb steeply and make a sharp turn.
"I thought, 'Is this thing coming
around to make a second attack? If
there is another explosion, we're
toast.'"..."another plane started
veering up and to the side. At
that point it wasn't clear if that
plane was trying to maneuver out of
the air space or if that plane was
coming round for another hit.
Kelly Knowles:
...she saw a second plane in the
air *over the Pentagon* *as* a
hijacked jet plunged into the
five-sided military fortress...some
sort of plane followed the
doomed American Airlines jet toward
the Pentagon, then veered away
after the explosion. "Thank God
somebody else saw that. There was
most definitely a second plane, "
Knowles said. "It's so frustrating
because nobody knows about the
second plane, or if they do they're
hiding it for some reason."
Pentagon official said late Friday
no other plane was flying with the
jetliner. But he said it was
possible a military plane was in the
area at the time of the attack.
Keith Wheelhouse:
-He believes it flew directly
above the American Airlines jet, as
if to prevent two planes from
appearing on radar while at the same
time guiding the jet toward the
Pentagon....As the hijacked jet
started its descent, "it's like it
stepped on its gas pedal, "
Wheelhouse said. "As soon as he
did that, the second plane banked
off to the west." A possible
explanation for the second plane
could be a plane landing at nearby
Ronald Reagan National Airport . The
Pentagon is between the cemetery and
the airport... (He) said it's
possible the second plane was a
military plane, but the military has
not said it had a plane shadowing
the hijacked jet."
*-Both Keith and Kelly, as well
as at least one other person at the
funeral (Pam Young), insist that
there was another plane flying near
the hijacked jet... the other
three witnesses say they're not
sure what the plane looked like."
Keith Wheelhouse specifically
claimed it was a C-130, but the
other three witness accounts
were
ambiguous enough to foster confusion
for the people who saw the
flyover. They could go on
thinking this "2nd plane" may
have actually been a
jet, and that Keith
Wheelhouse (who we've subsequently interviewed
on camera)
may have been "wrong"
about the kind of plane it was.
Eventually researchers would
explain away the accounts of the
"second plane/jet" as being
regarding the C-130
piloted by Lt Col Steve O'Brien who
we now know never shadowed or chased
the plane. He actually lost sight of
it after it passed in front of him
and he turned around. He was not
near AND/OR over the Pentagon at the
time of alleged impact (explosion &
fireball). In fact it would have been
physically impossible for him to
keep up
with a 530 mph jet, when a C-130 can only
travel maximum 379 mph. He didn't
show up to the scene until
approximately 3 minutes later at a
much higher altitude.
We learned from an e-mail exchange
with him and Pilots for 9/11 Truth that he was too high and
far away to even see the Pentagon!
"I distinctly remember having
a difficult time keeping the AA
flight in sight after we turned back
to the east to follow it per a
request from Wash. Departure
Control. When I saw the initial
explosion I was not able to see
exactly where or what it had
impacted, but remember trying to
approximate a position to give to
ATC. It was then that I was able
to see the sun reflecting off the
Potomac and the runway at Wash.
Nat'l and thought to myself that the
AA flight must have had some sort of
IFE (in flight emergency) and was trying to make it back
to National Airport."

Pilot Lt Col Steve O'Brien
via email to Pilots for 9/11
Truth
The
Pentagon is massive compared to
a 757 so if the pilot could not
see the Pentagon there is no way
he could see an impact or
flyover/away and he clearly
wasn't "shadowing" the attack
jet proving Keith Wheelhouse's
account false. This is
further demonstrated with
video evidence taken by Anthony
Tribby from highway 395.
There is a significant
difference between the witness
accounts above that were used by
the media in the subsequent
propaganda to sell the official
story when compared to the
independent witness accounts
that we have uncovered.
Specifically workers from
Arlington Cemetery who were
right next to where Keith
Wheelhouse claims he saw the
C-130, yet report a very
different story. Darrell
Stafford, Darius Prather,
Donald Carter, Russell Roy, and
Erik Dihle all saw the C-130
approach significantly after the
explosion and report that it was
on a different flight path from
the attack jet having approached
from the northwest.
When looking at the C-130
pilot's account, the video
evidence from Anthony Tribby,
and the corroborating
independent witness accounts
from the Arlington Cemetery
workers it becomes clear that
the C-130 was not in the
airspace until minutes after the
explosion, and that the media
accounts of this C-130 were
mutated to bring it closer to
the event than it really was to
serve as cover for the flyover.
