As events were unfolding on the morning of 9-11, I was monitering the situation closely at work. Shortly before the Pentagon was hit, CNN (I believe) reported a car bomb going off on the other side of the Pentagon.
Does anyone else recall hearing that? The story was dropped immediately and sent right down the memory hole. I'm thinking it could've been a well-timed diversion to swing everyone's attention away from the spot the "airplane" entered the structure.

Where was the debris? And why won't they release the tapes that were recording every inch of that area?

the part that freaked me out is when she told us that they started evacuating them about 10 minutes before it happened because they had airplane(s) inbound...so they just happened to be outside when it hit, which makes for a lot of convenient witnesses, but riddle me this...with the white house, the capitol, washington monument, etc right there...why did they evacuate the annex and not the other buildings?

You didn't see any airplane debris being pulled out because they didn't start cleaning up for a while (look how long the fires lasted, most of it burned up). Get your minds off of the government being behind 9/11 conspiracy and look at the "common sense" side of the whole situation.

There should have been airplane debris on the lawn.

EastCoastKid~~yeah, I remember the report. We were at work, but were getting numberous phone calls to keep us current.
We never did hear any more. But, as is sooo often the case, you hear something on the news once and never again. Makes you wonder if somebody reported it and was later shut up or editied??

Um, if I recall, the plane barely struck the ground. Even at the amount that it did, that's just the underside which wouldn't leave too much debris.
Edit: Damn new keyboard...

There should have been parts of the wings, at least. They should've broken off and flown backwards. I don't buy that they just folded up and went right in with the plane. There would've been something.
If they'd just release those darn tapes... That would solve everything pertaining to the Pentagon. Of Course, that'll never happen.
