" The mainstream scientific community does not support the controlled demolition hypothesis and U.S. officials, mainstream journalists, and mainstream researchers have concluded that only al-Qaeda was involved in the attacks."

I'm sorry - this is now the third request to keep the discussion limited to the Pentagon and flight # 77. All my responses have been limited to that, and in the interest of clarity - perhaps yours should be as well.
Until I hear differently, I will assume that the items I read about how they deduced which were the hijackers remains of the pentagon plane still stands.
Why did the FBI provide no DNA samples to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology to make comparisons to the remains from the other crash sites? Why did the FBI only have DNA samples for the alleged NY ten? Why was the FBI so slow in cooperating with the OCME in any way when they were in fact under fire in the public eye of the attacks for their lack of cooperation with other government and intelligence agencies? One would think the FBI would be bending over backwards to appease. Instead it looks more like they were looking for a fix to create a distraction. They got both by way of the OCME positively identifying terrorists with DNA that has no documented accession before it arrived at the OCME.

Since the Armed Forces Ins. of Pathology was who was responsible for determining the identity of the bodies for the Pentagon crash...this raises an interesting question.
Why would the FBI NOT turn over collected DNA to them. And if they didnt have any, what stopped them from obtaining it?
Hmmm.
There we go....thank you for showing yet ANOTHER HOLE in this story.

"Investigators have identified remains of 184 people who were aboard American Airlines Flight 77 or inside the Pentagon, including those of the five hijackers, but they say it is impossible to match what is left with the five missing people.
A team of more than 100 workers at a military morgue at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware used several methods to identify remains but primarily relied on DNA testing and dental records. The fifth unidentified victim was a passenger on the hijacked plane.
The remains of the five hijackers have been identified through a process of exclusion, as they did not match DNA samples contributed by family members of all 183 victims who died at the site." - Washington Post (11/21/01)

“We to this day don't know why NORAD [the North American Aerospace Command] told us what they told us," said Thomas H. Kean, the former New Jersey Republican governor who led the commission. "It was just so far from the truth. . . . It's one of those loose ends that never got tied.” Although the commission's landmark report made it clear that the Defense Department's early versions of events on the day of the attacks were inaccurate, the revelation that it considered criminal referrals reveals how skeptically those reports were viewed by the panel and provides a glimpse of the tension between it and the Bush administration.
my bolding
Farmer scrutinizes F.A.A. and Norad records to provide irrefragable evidence that a day after a Sept. 17 White House briefing, both agencies suddenly altered their chronologies to produce a coherent timeline and story that “fit together nicely with the account provided publicly by Deputy Defense Secretary Wolfowitz and Vice President Cheney.”
The Pentagon conducts the first of two training exercises called MASCAL, which simulates a Boeing 757 crashing into the building.
Charles Burlingame, an ex-Navy F4 pilot who worked in the Pentagon, participates in this exercise before retiring to take a job at American Airlines, where, less than a year later, his Boeing 757 allegedly crashes into the building.
www.usatoday.com...
"In a third scenario, the target was the Pentagon — but that drill was not run after Defense officials said it was unrealistic, NORAD and Defense officials say."
What happened at the Pentagon to the best of my knowledge is this: At 8:20am EDT, Flight 77 (the decoy) took off from Dulles International Airport is to be involved in a drill (Global Guardian '01) demonstrating the anti-hijacking system -- the Boeing Uninterruptible Autopilot -- Canada was selling the USA. The goal of the drill ... to successfully, electronically "hijack" Flight 77 then land it safely to a predetermined location.
It involved two teams -- red team attackers and blue team defenders. The "target" of this drill is simulating a 757 crashing into the Pentagon. Flight 77 was a member of red team attackers acting as the "suicide plane." The blue team defenders were inside the Pentagon.
At 8:54am EDT, in the vicinity of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (which happened to be participating in the Global Guardian '01 war game,) red team "hijacks" Flight 77 electronically by the Boeing Uninterruptible Autopilot through KU bandwidth via Wide Area Augmentation System and starts to head south then east.
Red team turns Flight 77's transponder off at 8:56am EDT.
As Flight 77 heads back east, while in Wright-Patterson Air Force Base airspace, a drone (a Raytheon A-3 Skywarrior in American Airlines 757 colors,) rendezvous behind Flight 77. Minutes later red team takes Flight 77 out and over Warning Area 386 (W-386) airspace and remotely detonates it.
The drone takes the place of the decoy (Flight 77.)
Blue team is oblivious to the fact that red team switched planes. Thinking it was Flight 77, the plane got within three minutes of the Pentagon. Captain Gerald DeConto, a member of blue team, recognized that a double-cross had taken place as Flight 77 (really the drone,) was supposed to turn around fly back to land at a specific location.
At around 9:37am EDT, DeConto was on the phone with Secretary of the Navy Gordon R. England attempting to get permission to launch defensive weapon(s) to defeat the A-3 as an AGM-12C missile flew through his window of the US Naval Command Center followed by the drone killing him instantly.

Oh yeah, that's one gem of a polished turd you've got there...

This is from a truther web site btw - thewebfairy.com...
To reiterate - process of elimination as the DNA *didn't* match samples contributed by family members. Kind of suggests that DNA was provided by the FBI - doesn't it?
Further - *your* external quote states:
Why did the FBI provide no DNA samples to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology to make comparisons to the remains from the other crash sites?
Seriously??? Possibly because a dead hijacker can only be at one crash site at a time maybe?
I'm still waiting to hear a "hole". You've not mentioned the biggest "hole" in the OS - wonder why that is?
The article was saying that the FBI did NOT turn over any DNA from the 'hijackers', not no DNA comparisons at all

Flight 77 hits the ground before it hits the Pentagon, wings shear off and burn up outside the building. The fuselage (and potentially another dense object?) penetrate the building.
Impact with the ground breaks the wings off.
The fuselage can penetrate the 18 inch outer wall, but the wings end up resting against the outer wall and being aluminum, they pretty much vaporize after the fire. The wings still shatter the outer wall but do not have the energy cross section to penetrate. A long bullet can penetrate an object when all the mass is inline with the direction of impact, but when the same bullet hits sideways it may not penetrate

Explain how it's possible to have a negative DNA match with no DNA? The FBI HAD to have provided DNA samples of the hijackers to Military Mortuary Affairs in Dover in order to get a negative match against the family members DNA.
You do understand that it was Military Mortuary Affairs, and NOT the FBI that did the DNA matching - right?
Sorry, I think it's you who has misinterpreted what was being said.

What?
Negative DNA match?
What on Earth are you talking about? I doubt you even know.
I understand EXACTLY what I presented.
1. The FBI only obtained DNA from some of the 10 hijackers that were on the WTC flights.
2. The FBI either did NOT obtain or turn over DNA of the other 9 alleged hijackers that were on the other 2 flights.
3. The FBI obtained some DNA of the alleged terrorists form hotel rooms and rental cars.
What about this do you NOT understand?
1. The FBI only obtained DNA from some of the 10 hijackers that were on the WTC flights. 2. The FBI either did NOT obtain or turn over DNA of the other 9 alleged hijackers that were on the other 2 flights.
