9/11 Pentagon Anti-Missile defense system, page 1

Keep in mind that the Pentagon was right next to the landing approach for Reagan National Airport.

Even at landing speeds, a plane could veer off that approach and hit the Pentagon in a few seconds.

A missile system wouldn’t do much good against that, now would it?

But Howard, havn't you heard about the dozens of civilian airliners being shot down every day as they try to land..

I found this satellite image as well, I modified it slightly in the true spirit of things:

Is that the area that was hit I see out of the window in that photo of your's Howard? That's mighty close, but I don't see any tracer fire.

They didn't know it was going to hit the Pentagon way before it actually happened. I guess the confusion in trying to get all the aricraft grounded too didn't help, you seem to forget that these are people dealing with the situation, not machines.

Do these missiles vapourise the aircraft? Are you suggesting that they should have shot it down into the city?
I can see the headlines now, "Hundreds of civilians killed when Government shoots down aircraft to protect Pentagon."
They didn't know what it was going to do until it was too late, suspicion isn't good enough when trying to explain things to the public. They still cover up the probable shooting down of the other flight, so can you imagine the uproar if they shot the airliner down into the city?

Does it occur to you that these places are not as well protected as they would like you to believe? Most 'security' is a bluff, it works by making people think it's a lot harder to penetrate than it is.

If you look at the runway in the overhead image you can clearly see that aircraft would have to practically fly over the Pentagon on Approach.

I've also been looking at the airport information for pilots, charts, etc but I can't see anything about avoiding the Pentagon or being careful of the missiles..

Can you help me find it?

I assume you know how to fly as you seem to think you're pretty keyed up on procedures, luckily I do have a little experience and you can see just from the photo (forgetting the chart shows it) that the Pentagon is in the glide path for runway 15 and is of course in the path of aircraft leaving on runway 33. You don't turn in sharply like you are implying would have to be done, and the charts like I linked to above show they don't.
Not to mention the numerous private pilots flying around and people on flying lessons.
In fact the only prohibited area marked on there is no where near the Pentagon, so you'd better ring them up quick because anyone following the issued literature for operating at the airport might get shot down!

When I've been flying I've flown over the local military airbase on a Sunday, I didn't get an escort, radio call or missiles though

There was, and is, not a missile defense system at or near the pentagon.

Its pretty well known they moved in the Avenger Air Defense System around the Pentagon in Washington, DC after the September 11 terror attacks.

The Humvee also has been given a role in homeland defense. It has been outfitted with the Avenger air defense system to guard the White House, the Pentagon and other government buildings in and around Washington
