I will have a closer look at the eyewitnesses from the “”someguyyoudontknow33”” list, and omit the ones who do not link anymore to a still
working link.
www.geocities.com...
Especially the ones linked to a subdirectory none works anymore, which is in fact a tad bit strange, since the main directory still exists. Thus, it
could be possible that some kind of restructuring of the internal directories did cause this strange effect. Perhaps they are named differently now,
and are still there to be found by investigating minds.
This is the first one I will discuss now:

Lindsey Kriete, 24, of Wellesley was scheduled to leave Reagan National on a 10 a.m. flight to Boston. About 9:30 a.m., all hell broke loose,
Kriete said, as airport personnel began running through the terminal, telling passengers to leave quickly. By the time Kriete had rounded up her
belongings and tried to calm people who were crying, all the taxis were gone and the subway had shut down.
She walked and hitchhiked miles back into the capital, using the Washington Monument as her point of reference. The trip was surreal, Kriete said,
because there were so many police on horseback, motorcycles, boats, and in helicopters, but almost no passenger cars on I-395.
That last bolded by me part is an interesting addition to the facts we now know about the aftermath of the Pentagon attack, I did not know that I-395
had almost no passenger cars on it some time after the plane hit.
The biggest problem however, I have with all these journalists reporting on 9/11 about the Pentagon event, is that most of them used the term I-395
when in fact they wanted to indicate route 27, also known as Washington Boulevard, the road passing the West wall of the Pentagon, where the plane
supposedly hit that wall.
Earlier, Mary Lyman, 47, of Alexandria, had been driving on the same highway, passing the Pentagon on her way to her job as a lobbyist in
Washington. She witnessed the crash.
''I saw a plane coming what I thought was toward National Airport, which is very close. You see that all the time,'' said Lyman, an Andover
native. ''But this one looked different. It was at a very steep angle, and going very fast.
''I had been hearing about the World Trade Center before I left, and wondered, is this part of that? Then the plane disappeared, smoke started
coming up, and traffic came to a complete stop,'' Lyman said. ''We all got out of our cars. We heard another couple of explosions, and I ran and
got back in my car.''
''The police came and had us drive back the wrong way on the highway.''
This eyewitness report is again quite uncertain about the exact spot where she stopped after “”the plane disappeared””. Thus, also about the
trajectory she took on her way to work. When we assume now that she was on Route 27, going north and in the process of passing the Pentagon, then that
fits the other witnesses we saw before. Her assumption that the plane went toward Reagan National Airport does fit a northern approach, a north of
Citgo approach. Because if she was on the eastbound going real I-395, in the direction of the bridges, she would have talked about a river approach
and she would have never lost sight of the descending plane. Thus, she probably was in front of the three trees inside the cloverleaf, which blocked
the view of an impact for most drivers on 27 (“”the plane disappeared””).

Shortly after watching the second tragedy, I heard jet engines pass our building, which, being so close to the airport is very common. But I
thought the airport was closed. I figured it was a plane coming in for landing. A few moments later, as I was looking down at my desk, the plane
caught my eye.
It didn't register at first. I thought to myself that I couldn't believe the pilot was flying so low. Then it dawned on me what was about to happen.
I watched in horror as the plane flew at treetop level, banked slightly to the left, drug it's wing along the ground and slammed into the west wall
of the Pentagon exploding into a giant orange fireball. Then black smoke. Then white smoke.
This was Steve Anderson ('85), Director of Communications, USA TODAY.
His communication skills are poor, or he tried to obscure some very important facts, if his witness account is true. When he saw the second tragedy,
the hit of the South Tower at 09:02, his use of the words “shortly after” is a tad bit strange for a journalist. But let’s ignore that and
proceed to him hearing jet engines pass.
He then said that “a few moments later, -…- the plane caught my eye”, etcetera.
He leaves out completely the officially pushed huge circling around above the area. And according to the official story line, that plane was MUCH
higher when it passed his building.
Remember, he was looking from his glass panel covered USA Today office tower in Rosslyn southwards towards the Pentagon, quite far away. The problem I
have with his account is the impression he tries to implant that he heard the plane and then a few moments later he saw the plane, and then he
proceeds to tell us how it slammed into the west wall of the Pentagon.
He just ignores the MANY minutes that plane should have needed to make that huge circle around from the moment it passed his building. Coming in from
the north on a River Approach path to Reagan National Airport, then banking away to the right after passing his building in Rosslyn, and starting to
make that big circle around. To finally return somewhere above Columbia Pike and crossing the roof tops of the Navy Annex, passing North of the Citgo
gas station and flying to the Pentagon.
This man should be interrogated thoroughly in a future reprocessing of the 911 facts.

I work for the General contractor, AMEC Construction Management, Inc., who was renovating the Pentagon before September 11th, as the Safety Manager
for the project. On sept. 11 I flew out on Reagan National Airport on the 6am shuttle to NY, to attend a corporate safety meeting. We were on Broadway
near 40th st at 8:40am and could see the twin towers down the hill, when we entered the building. Ten minutes later we heard that the twin towers were
hit and then the day started spiraling downhill. Later we heard about the Pentagon and then that there were 4 of our people missing(later they were
accounted for). We then got out of the city 0n the 12th by train, after we got home and we heard that the train station had been closed due to a bomb
threat 1/2 hour after we left. Arrived at the Pentagon at 6am on the 13th and have been at the Pentagon rebuilding the damage since then. Working
around the clock 7 days week, it is amazing to see what kind of work can be done when everyone mixes pride and patriotism together to show the rest of
world that you can knock us down but we will heal ourselves put things back together as good if not better than before. The goal of our project is to
have people back at there desk looking out of there windows at the world outside the Pentagon on September 11, 2002 at 9:38am.
Interesting, the Safety Manager for AMEC Construction Management, which is a British based company, which withdrew all their US offices after
reconstruction ended, back to Britain.
It has always amazed me, that a Brit firm renovated such a high profile defense institute like the Pentagon. Meaning all Pentagon renovation
blueprints were accessible and copy able by non-US citizens.
This man could perhaps tell us more about the diesel powered generator trailer damage. And more...

Btw, Craig Ranke, I interpreted the '73 date wrong on the Christine Peterson alumni page, it means in the US, the Class Year they got their degree
and not their birth year. thus, she worked 28 years after graduation in Washington up till 9/11.
So we have to add about 24 years to her age on 9/11, which will be around 52 years then.
