Firstly: Someone sure knows how to use Flash. I wish I had 1/10th that skill.

Secondly: Sure interesting to think about. Anyone that can't entertain the notion (any notion), and explore the pros and cons of the idea is someone I just feel sorry for.

Pros:
- Damn that lawn is pretty. My wife asked at the time how come there wasn't any marks on the way in. The precision of that 'driving' (cause it was at ground level

) is astonishing.

- The circular hole 2 or 3 rings into the Pentagon. An airplane crashes into a building, not to mention 2 separate, consective buildings, and it still has a pointy nose when it reaches the 3rd? That stretches credibility something fierce.

- It only takes one video to disprove this whole crazy theory. Show the video from the Hotel of the 757 hitting. Game over. How about the traffic one? ANY video makes this whole thing go away.

- The size of the fire doesn't seem big enough. I'm no forensic genius (like I need to point that out), but we sure saw what jet fuel does elsewhere that day. Didn't seem even close at the Pentagon.

- How did an airplane 'drop off the radar' miles from the Pentagon. Aside from National being a mile away, I'm guessing the Pentagon itself knows a thing or two about radar.

- What are the chances the plane hit the least occupied part of the Pentagon? I'm not familiar with the route of the plane, but that seems to be the best luck of the day.

Neutral
- Airplanes do disintigrate. Most of the pictures I've seen of other crash sites are amazing in what has vanished. But every picture I've seen has more rubble than we see at the P-gon. No tail left? No wings? Seems an on the fence issue to me.

-'Eyewitness' accounts. People can distort anything in their memory. This kind of testimony is the weakest there is: not only is memory faulty, but our ability to remember what we want to remember is astonishing.

Cons:
- This strains Occam's Razor beyond reason. The planning and launching of a...missle? The disappearance of a plane? The scope of the coverup? Damn hard to believe. I've largely always believed that 3 people can't keep a secret. How about 200 (or whatever).

- Frankly, that's it for me. The single 'con' (funny word in this situation) is frankly enough to make me discount the whole thing. Almost.

But I'm with Super: please show me more. Or just say it's crazy, and don't treat it seriously. I'm sure that will help.
