Originally posted by Agitator Ok so only the outer wall was reenforced then right? That would make sence then. Is that the case only the outer wall of the pentagon is reenforced? [edit on 26-9-2004 by Agitator]Yeah. The three outer rings are NOT separated from each other in the first and second floor. I mean: The three outer rings have a common first and second floor. Look at the picture and count the windows:

Originally posted by SomewhereinBetweenPlease, look at the photo in my post I supplied for you. Please read the post, please read the pentagon information supplied in the original article and in subsequent posts. ALL OF THIS WAS CLEARLY STATED! It's all freely available information from thousands of different library sources. It's all freely accesible information from the Pentagon site. It's all freely available information from any non-government source! THE RED LINE IS 921 feet (the outerwall of each pentagon segment is 921 feet). I dont know how to make it clearer for you. The red line is 921 feet. The line from the camera to the position of the aircraft is longer than the red line on the pentagon wall. Therefore the distance to the aircraft is greater than 921 feet. This isn't even taking into account that the photo is taken from a satellite that is not directly over the pentagon, but instead is at a slight angle (I'd say about 10 degrees based on how much of the wall of Pentagon is visible in the lower left corner of the photo). If you did factor in perspective, and used basic geometry and calculus, you'd arrive at a slightly longer line than what is on the photo for the distance from the gate camera (X) to the aircraft postion on line B-|-FlightPath. But even without doing this it's still longer than the wall of the Pentagon. I don't know how you can respond to something that is provided for you, and completely dismiss it without even reading it...1200 feet? Maybe not (doesn't look like it, I hate approximating things before I check and measure [sorry about that]) - but 1000-1100 feet? Absolutely.CatHerder, what is the length of each of the five sides of the pentagon? Is it 921 feet in total or 921 feet per module? If each module is 921 feet then even your 1,200 feet is more than acceptable. if however the total of each side is 921 feet, then you must accept that the camera had to have been no further than the corner of an end module unless it can see around corners, and that the crash site was not in the centre module reducing the 921 feet by the full length of that end module. Consequently, if it is the former, then I give you your 1200 feet, in fact I would concede 2,000 feet, but if it is the latter, then even your 1,000 feet is not correct would be exorbitantly liberal. The whole point of your exercise is then called into question if you are not using facts to support your position. [edit on 9/25/04 by SomewhereinBetween]
The line from the camera to the position of the aircraft is longer than the red line on the pentagon wall. Therefore the distance to the aircraft is greater than 921 feet.Incorrect. The line from the camera traces laterally to the façade, the only variant to the measurement would be how many feet away from the corner of the building the camera was placed. Go into your backyard, measure the width of your house, then stand as many feet as you want to away from the house at the corner, walk a straight line to the other end of your house and tell me how many feet more you have traveled. Your statement relative to a satellite photo to justify the distance is just silly. To be liberal, I will equally divide the 921.6 feet between the three modules, now look at your “satellite” photo, does the gate camera look to you like it is as far away from the building as the 307.2 feet length of the module it is closest to? Then there is this photo which shows the impact in the centre module thereby reducing even further your estimation of 1,000 by well over 300 feet. [img] www.serendipity.li...[/img] In addition, you have made a claim that the craft was a 757 and offered up graphics including retrofitted planes to support your position that you have proven your hypothesis. Yet, I noted that your aircraft placement relative to the obstacle was incorrect, your revised placement has an incorrect wing placement, the order of colours of the craft in the original photo provided by CNN do not correspond to the order of colours of an American Airline’s air liner. The logo is wider than the stripes which are visible, but the logo is not. All in all, CatHerder, my dispute is not with your tremendous effort extended by you in post one, it is that the information you base your 757 graphic illustration on is not fully fact based but subjective, relying on erroneous assumption such as your calculations as per the distance. So as I said earlier on, I have not yet been convinced it is a 757, much less an AA 757. Now how you can dismiss all of that has me as puzzled as you seem to be of me.
Originally posted by SomewhereinBetween Yes the façade length is 921 feet. You do not have to make clearer to me what I have provided for you. So then... first you respond that the craft was 1200 away from the camera, then you say 1,000.It was a guess, an estimate, an assumption based on looking at the lines without going deep down and measuring it pixel by pixel... Whoops.
You are correct in the fact that I was mistaken with my guesstimate of 1200 feet. It's more or less 950-975 feet away (the front of the tail of the aircraft that appears in the picture). Regardless - the 757 overlayed on the photo is to scale (within reasonable accuracy) because it's a fact that it would take 7.4 757's lined wing to wing to equal 921 feet (one outer wall of the Pentagon).The line from the camera to the position of the aircraft is longer than the red line on the pentagon wall. Therefore the distance to the aircraft is greater than 921 feet.Incorrect.
