Besides Ms. Taylor, the two other Washington teachers who died in the crash were Sarah Clark, a 6th grade teacher at Backus Middle School, and James Debeuneure, who taught 5th grade at Ketcham Elementary School.
The three students from Washington lost in the crash were Bernard Brown, who attended Leckie Elementary; Rodney Dickens, who attended Ketcham Elementary; and Asia Cottom, from Backus Middle School. All three were 11.

On 9/11: The ring that survived the inferno

When crews eventually cleared the debris, among other personal effects on the site of the tragedy, investigators found a one-carat ring, size 6.8, its band bent, its prongs crooked but still holding firmly in place the solitaire diamond.
Looking at the picture of the ring, in a binder of images of personal effects FBI agents discovered at the crime scene, Peter Batacan, Karen’s husband, could hardly believe his eyes. He took a closer look at the serial number.
It was the same ring he had surprised Karen with on June 27, 1995, when he dropped on one knee under the elm tree in one of their favorite parks in Bethesda, Md., and asked her to marry him.
Snip
Receiving Karen’s ashes and having them placed in her final resting place in the niche in the church, where on the 10th anniversary congregation members will lay flowers, gave Peter some level of comfort as did a memorial service he and Karen’s family attended later in Waverly.

Rodney Washington, a systems engineer for a Pentagon contractor, was stuck in stand-still traffic a few hundred yards from the Pentagon when the American Airlines jet roared overhead from the southwest.
''It was extremely loud, as you can imagine, a plane that size, it was deafening,'' Washington said.
The plane was flying low and rapidly descended, Washington said, knocking over light poles before hitting the ground on a helicopter pad just in front of the Pentagon and essentially bouncing into it.
The Overall Damage Path
As related by most eyewitnesses, a large plane flew low from the highway over the Pentagon lawn and hit the Pentagon West wall. Descriptions from various witnesses, photographs and FDR data fill in details that include:
The plane knocked down several light poles
The left wing finally was tilted down
The right engine struck a generator trailer
The left engine struck a low concrete wall
The plane mostly disappeared into the building
There was a large fireball
The façade had a hole 18 ft wide where the plane body is presumed to have hit
There was a gash 96 ft wide where plane wings would have hit
The lawn was untouched afterwards except for debris
Windows above the 18 ft wide hole were unbroken
The internal column damage indicates the path direction of material and debris flow from the exterior
inwards
There was a hole in the C ring wall that was roughly circular
The downed light poles, trailer damage, low concrete wall and façade damage, interior columns
damage, and hole in the C ring are in a straight line
The direction of this line is in accordance with the radar reports and the FDR file.
The overall appearance of the damage trail is consistent with the passage of a large plane. The façade can be viewed as a giant shredder (steel plus concrete) through which a plane has passed at high speed, further shredding itself by impacting the interior supports and by the edge-on impact with the second floor, and creating inside the building a high velocity flow of material that builds up pressure on the C ring wall until it gives way. A substantial amount of debris flows out through the hole created.
The overall damage trail weighs against the “flyover” theories, the small plane theory (separation of light poles in a direction perpendicular to the path is about 100 ft), and the missile theory. The direction of the damage trail is contrary to a north-of-CITGO path for the plane. To continue to be viable, one must add a staged event to these theories.

The plane was rolled to the left, and the left engine hit the low concrete wall almost at ground level there, which was higher than the level of the lawn in the foreground. Given these facts, there is no mystery as to the absence of a gouge in the pristine lawn.

Hey Ruby?
CIT is it? Called everyone and their bother? Why don’t they have the logs from Capital City cabs is it? That would show who’s cab was working the Cemetery/Pentagon area, and how many? Are you saying there was only one capitol cab working the area on a busy morning?
And you cannot even provide conclusive evidence from the evidence you claim you have
I have many times stated that the pole that hit Lloyde England's windscreen, was only about 4 inches diameter by 12 feet long.
It was NOT 30 FEET LONG.
This was many times confirmed by Lloyde England himself on video.
He verbally described it, identified it with his finger on a photograph, he physically showed its dimensions, he pointed out the 4 inch hole in the lower windshield, he showed CIT the 4 inch impressions on the rear seat, and he also drew the 12 foot pole on a scale diagram.
Nor have I EVER claimed that the videos I cite were taken at the moment of impact.
I have always given the times of events in these 4 videos.
They all began shortly after the impact, and reveal the action from about 3 minutes post impact, to about 9:46 a.m., during which interval the pole was removed from the taxi windshield, and the cab was loaded onto a trailer and moved down the road onto the bridge, where military photographer Jason Ingersoll began taking photos of it from 9:48 a.m.
So you have no actual proof of who’s cab was where. You cannot actually provide a clear photo of the cab with cab number or license plate.
So of course, there is no "artillery" shown in the videos which would shoot a 30 foot light pole. That suggestion of yours is ludicrous.
You missed the point. No witnesses attest to a machine that shot a light pole and the act of a light pole being shot into cad in public spaces? When you have witnesses that you cannot name, but claim they saw the cab here or there?
The military vehicle which performed the deed of firing the 12 foot pole, is actually captured on numerous videos and 2 photos, if you know what to look for. And several eyewitnesses did see what happened, but were unable to make sense of what they saw, as can be determined from their testimonies
I have tried to go to your video, this is where your link goes.
And this is your best visual evidence of the “cab” doing what exactly?
You are also aware that I have more than once cited EYEWITNESS TONY TERRONEZ, who DID DESCRIBE THE NOISE OF SMASHING GLASS BESIDE HIM, as sonething was "DRIVEN DOWN LIKE A JAVELIN" THROUGH THE WINDSCREEN, as Lloyde England described it, to Jeff Hill in their phone interview. TONY TERRONEZ THEN WENT OVER and SPOKE WITH LLOYDE, and PERFECTLY DESCRIBED THE DAMAGE TO HIS WINDSHIELD, there just north of the heliport.
Wouldn’t know. You will not link to an actual source, and quote the individuals of the individual.
You have a bad habit of putting word in people’s mouths, and posting blatant falsehoods like
He said the plane BANKED LEFT.
NO it did not!
It banked RIGHT.

Again. Your false mythology around one light pole doesn’t explain..

You fabricated mythology over property damage to a single light pole has nothing to do with part of the real concern in how the flight crew and passengers of flight 77 ended at the pentagon.
THAT POLE HAD TO HAVE BEEN VERY ACCURATELY FIRED INTO THE CAB IN A PREMEDITATED, WELL-REHEARSED, PUNCTILIOUSLY TIMED, CO-ORDINATED MILITARY OPERATION UNDER PENTAGON AUTHORITY.
was only about 4 inches diameter by 12 feet long.
LIGHT POLE ANALYSIS: POLES ONE AND TWO
frustratingfraud.blogspot.com...
It's probably not even new, but I've decided the part of pole 1 seen by Lloyd's cab is about 20-23 feet long, missing perhaps ten feet off the top, including the parts where the truss bolts down. Where that top part wound up is something I haven't looked into, but they could be simply the pieces on the road nearby, depending if the straight piece measure out right. It's also possible that a sizable chunk disappeared into the jet's engine (see below), causing the gray smoke visible trailing behind Flight 77 at impact.
This was many times confirmed by Lloyde England himself on video.
He verbally described it, identified it with his finger on a photograph, he physically showed its dimensions, he pointed out the 4 inch hole in the lower windshield, he showed CIT the 4 inch impressions on the rear seat, and he also drew the 12 foot pole on a scale diagram.

In an audio pre-interview for the same CIT video, England is asked by Pickering, “So which piece did you take out of the window?”6
England: “The long piece. The part that was [unintelligible] off the, off the ground.”
Pickering: So it’s the long piece?
England: Yeah, the long piece. See it’s the long piece. See the end on it?
Ranke (to someone in the room): Show him the end.
England: Yeah, this was the piece that was in the ground.
Then, in their 2008 interview, Ranke asks about the length of the pole he is talking about:
Ranke: So, you’re saying, how long do you think the pole was? Approximately?
England: It was sticking out, way over…
Ranke: No, I mean the whole pole.
England: I’d say it was about 30, 40 foot long. … The base of it was in concrete.
Marquis: And to clarify, it was the long piece of the base of the pole.
England: Yes, the long piece that was sticking out across the hood.
In the interview with Hill, England volunteers the size of the pole that he says entered his cab:
England: “I think the pole was about 40 foot long.”
Does all this sound like he’s talking about an 11.5-foot arm on the top of the pole? Incredibly, Coste says this shorter section would appear “long” in comparison to England’s own height.7

Is this light pole you claimed
was only about 4 inches diameter by 12 feet long.
The base is at least eight inches and the light pole is every bit of 16 feet if not twenty. And has a utility pole ID? And has a base like a light pole. With no explanation of that wasn’t the original light pole, where did the original go.
Man. It sure looks like a light pole. And looks lots bigger than 4 inches in diameter by 12 feet. Ruby, you BS’n again?

Why the CIT Analysis of the Pentagon Event on 9/11 Should Be Rejected Outright By David Chandler
911speakout.org...
The methodology at work in the CIT interviews is to distract a witnesses from an actual, vivid memory of a plane impacting a building, and soliciting, or even planting by suggestion, a minor secondary detail. This sets the stage for the witness to reconstruct or elaborate on the actual memories to “fill in the gaps” or to satisfy the questioner. That detail is then elevated to be considered the single most significant element of the testimony, and used to discount both the primary memory and the physical evidence. The witnesses themselves are then declared to have been deceived about the discordant elements of their testimony. The witnesses may come back and protest loudly that the one thing they know for certain is that the plane actually hit the building, but such protestations are ignored. When interviews are conducted in this manner, whatever the reason, the conclusions have no claim to any validity and should be dismissed.
I have many times stated that the pole that hit Lloyde England's windscreen, was only about 4 inches diameter by 12 feet long.
It was NOT 30 FEET LONG.
It was NOT A LIGHTPOLE.
None of that adds up to the cab being relocated for whatever imaginary nefarious purpose though or even the cab, all pieces of pole, broken glass and road damage being moved while we're at it.
