This thread is so crazy.
There's too much that does not ring true.
Take this:

at a standstill. I heard a rumble, looked out my driver's side window and realized that I was looking at the nose of an airplane coming straight
at us from over the road (Columbia Pike) that runs perpendicular to the road I was on. The plane just appeared there- very low in the air, to the side
of (and not much above) the CITGO gas station that I never knew was there. My first thought was 'Oh My God, this must be World War III!' "In that
split second, my brain flooded with adrenaline and I watched everything play out in ultra slow motion, I saw the plane coming in slow motion toward my
car and then it banked in the slightest turn in front of me, toward the heliport. In the nano-second that the plane was directly over the cars in
front of my car, the plane seemed to be not more than 80 feet off the ground and about 4-5 car lengths in front of me. It was far enough in front of
me that I saw the end of the wing closest to me and the underside of the other wing as that other wing rocked slightly toward the ground. I remember
recognizing it as an American Airlines plane -- I could see the windows and the color stripes. And I remember thinking that it was just like planes in
which I had flown many times but at that point it never occurred to me that this might be a plane with passengers."

Penny Elgas sits on the FDIC Advisory Committee on Banking Policy, alongside of Jean Baker, who just happens to be the Chief of Staff
at the Office of President George H.W. Bush.
Funny thing about Peggy Elgas
Try that "Funny thing" link Merc gave above.
This woman closely linked to Bush claims she had a piece of flight 77 land INSIDE her car.
Did any other witnesses report being showered by debris? No.
But this woman reckons a piece of the plane ended up on her back seat because it fell through the SUNROOF.
How big is a sunroof? It was a bullseye dropped from a plane flying by at 400mph.
The one piece of plane falling from the air goes straight through her sunroof without her even noticing at the time.
Not only that but she claims it was from damage caused by the plane hitting a streetlight (funny it's not mentioned above).
If she is talking about the Taxi Driver's streetlight (the one that only damages windscreens and planes, but not cars bodywork) her sunroof, like the
taxi and the streetlight must have been under exactly the same trajectory as the plane.
Quite an amazing coincidence would you say?
What did she do with the bit of plane? Did she hand it straight in to the authorities? No. She made a "patriotic box" for it and gave it to the
National Museum of National History.
Now who really believes this story?

And the story:
Driving on a highway adjacent to the Pentagon on the morning of September 11, Penny Elgas stopped as she saw a passenger jet descend, clip a light
pole near her, and then crash into the Pentagon. Arriving home, Elgas found this plane fragment in the back seat of her car (she theorizes that it
dropped through the open sunroof). Feeling that it was her patriotic duty to preserve the fragment as a relic, she crafted a special box and lined it
with red, white, and blue material.
