The thing that hit the pentagon on 9/11 was not a plane, but a missile. 9/11 was completely an inside job
I've never understood the missile part of that theory. Why wouldn't a plane be easier to pull off?
idk if you were the CIA/military then the act of firing missile would be easier than executing a successfully hijacking the plane and crashing into the pentagon, if you didn't care about the cover-up
The main evidence for the missile theory is the lack of plane-like debris and the frames missing from the surveillance videos from across the street, and in the available footage its not entirely clear that the object striking the pentagon is a plane
Personally I agree that overall the plane would be easier if the cover-up is included: having to fake a flight and dealing with all the victims would make it easier to actually hijack and crash a plane
Regardless I think their is something suspicious with the pentagon attack specifically: the turn the supposed hijacker (who was apparently the worst pilot out of a group of terrible pilots) executed just before the crash is apparently a very difficult manoeuvre to pull off that even experienced pilots would have difficulty performing, and that the plane(or whatever) crashed into a large area of the pentagon that was undergoing renovation at the time and was practically unoccupied
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Airlines_Flight_77#Crash this section of the wikipedia article has a description of the turn(you can find articles elsewhere explaining how weird it is, and there's yt videos with visualisations) and the video(which on watching for the first time in years I can definitely see how people lean into the missile theory)
The pentagon attack was super weird with the maneuver, missing frames and debris and so on. There was always something fishy with it, I just never understood why someone would get at it with a missile. Then again, that does leave out pilot error. On the other hand you suddenly have some military staff you need to be able to trust a lot.
Then again you can just give them the Ft. Derrick treatment.
There's so much about 9/11 that's weird.
