As already noted.....that "source" is not valid.
Further discrediting it, from the bit you repeated, said to be from the "article":
....a young couple burst into his subway car at L’Enfante Station and started shouting: ‘We were standing at the Pentagon Station, waiting for the train to come, and we saw a missile fly into the Pentagon! We saw it, we saw it!’..in the same link I provided.
Obviously, whoever wrote that is not very familiar with the D.C. Metro System.
The Pentagon station is underground. From the Pentagon to L'Enfant (no 'e' on the end) it's one stop, on the Yellow Line. But, looking at the map: www.wmata.com...
....the tracks are above ground at the National Airport, then they tunnel under to the Crystal City, Pentagon City and Pentagon stations. Not going back above ground until leaving the Pentagon, to cross the Potomac on the bridge adjacent to the highway overpass.
Standing on the platform, and "waiting for the train"?? Ain't gonna see nuthin'....
Oh, and the entrance, "street level"? On the South East side, two sides away from the impact point. Take a look at Google Maps....all the buses arrive/depart there, and is also the location of entry for the escalators down to the Metro station. (On Maps, go to "satellite view"....you can see the Metro train tracks exiting the tunnel from under I-395, near the interchange/exit labelled "10C"....they exit heading East, curve to the North East and parallel the CSX Railroad mainline tracks across the river....).
Bogus...!

"Did anyone who directly saw the actual impact claim it was a missile"?
Professor David Edwards of Salisbury University reports that on the morning of 9/11, a young couple burst into his subway car at L’Enfante Station and started shouting: "We were standing at the Pentagon Station, waiting for the train to come, and we saw a missile fly into the Pentagon! We saw it, we saw it!".
It would be nice if the professor or someone could get a hold of this couple to find out what they saw.

Actually 3 were released. The Citgo video only shows a possible shadow of the plane, and the Doubletree video shows the explosion as seen from the opposite side of the building.
Here you go making the mistake that the government thinks the tiny minority of people who believe in these "conspiracy theories" deserve some sort of special treatment, or more proof than what has already been out there for years.
That being said, even if they had 100 different videos of perfect clarity, showing the plane flying into the building, there would still be conspiracy theories. This is a never-ending, constantly morphing and twisting chase down the rabbit hole that will never be satisfied.

Again, no clear proof of an airplane!
Tiny Minority? I wouldn't consider 1/3 of the American public a tiny minority!!
"Proof" what proof? Their has been more credible proof from 9/11 Architects & Engineers for Truth, Pilots for 9/11 Truth, Engineering Professors, eye witnesses, retired Generals, and legitimate questions raised by relatives of victims of 9/11 who personally attended the 9/11 committee sessions than the OS.
"Even if they had" what exactly are you saying?
Wow, here we go with the Rothschild Anti-Defamation League style tactics.

Yes indeed, the case IS rested, And now if you would stand by your claim that you are done....no appeals please.

It's the government who's required to show the burden of proof that it was not a missile that struck the Pentagon.

I have shared with people an experience I had on the morning of September 11, 2001. Recently, it was suggested to me that I write down this experience so that it could be shared more broadly. Here is my response to this suggestion.
On that fateful morning, I, in my capacity as the Bolivia/Peru Country Specialist for Amnesty International-USA, was in Washington, D.C., traveling to the Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill, in order to attend the confirmation hearings for the Bush Administration?s new Drug Czar, which were scheduled to begin at 10:00 AM.
Following my usual commuting pattern, I parked my car at the Anacostia Station of the Metro Line sometime after 9:00 AM, then took the Green Line into L?Enfante Station, where I transferred to the Orange Line on my way to the Capitol South Station.
Immediately after I boarded the Orange Line train, a young man and a young woman, both in their early twenties and wearing backpacks, burst into the subway car, shouting and exhibiting extreme excitement and agitation. They addressed the entire car, which was mostly empty except for me and perhaps three or four other men in suits. The young people yelled: ?We were standing at the Pentagon Station, waiting for the train to come, and we saw a missile fly into the Pentagon! We saw it, we saw it!? One of the men sitting closer to them must have asked for clarification, because they reiterated the same information several times, saying repeatedly: ?A missile, we saw it, a missile, it flew right into the Pentagon. I can?t believe it. Now it?s on fire, there?s smoke!? They continued in this vein from the L?Enfante Plaza Station until I got off at the Capitol South exit.
At the time, I did not know what to think and was, in any case, primarily concerned with hurrying to the Senate Office Building to secure a seat prior to the commencement of the hearings. Once I climbed the steep steps out of the station and ran to the building, however, the doors immediately sprang open and people began to surge out. I asked one of the building security personnel what was happening. He informed me that the buildings were being evacuated and then pointed behind me. I turned and saw smoke billowing from across the river. At that point, I turned and sprinted back down the hill and into the station and managed to get back on the Orange Line and then the Green Line to my car and out of the city, barely ahead of traffic.
Only later did I realize the significance of this event.

That's not really true, is it?
