FBI SEIZED GAS STATION VIDEO of PENTAGON "CRASH" MINUTES AFTER
This has been reported before, but obviously not in the mainstream news.
Supposedly the FBI, minutes after the crash, confiscated a gas station's security camera tapes that were in view of the crash at the Pentagon.
- Why did the FBI come so fast to confiscate this tape?
- How did they know this gas station's security tape would have caught the incident?
- Why hasn't the public heard of this before in the mainstream news or seen this video?
Showing this video could finally solve the mystery of the Pentagon crash.
The news report...
he FBI is withholding at least another 84 surveillance tapes that were seized in the immediate aftermath of the attack on the Pentagon.
There is an ongoing lawsuit to get these tapes released via the Freedom of Information Act. The FBI has admitted in a statement to attorney, Scott Hodes, representative of Mr Scott Bingham who runs the website www.flight77.info... that they have these tapes, that they have already analyzed them and are still keeping them under lock and key.
A great deal of speculation has surrounded reports that on the morning of september 11th, 2001 the FBI visited two private businesses near the pentagon and confiscated several security camera video tapes.
The first is said to be the Cigto gas station with several security cameras aimed in the direction of the pentagon. Flight 77 flew directly over the gas station at an altitude of roughly 50 feet, less than 3 seconds from impact.
Why take so many videos so quickly from so many surrounding buildings??
....and how??
There had to be pre-knowlege for 84 surveillance tape to be seized so fast from hotels, gas stations....
- what other event in history needed a group of people to immediately seize that many surveillance videos?
If it was a terrorist attack why hide the video
....after all raising support to attack Iraq was in full swing at that time?
THE ONLY REASON THERE IS TO HIDE SOMETHING IS BECAUSE.....
Who does that unless your paid? Who would come here and spend all the time debunking in one forum??

Originally posted by hooperThey were not all from surrounding buildings. One of the main reasons to confiscate the tapes was to see if any co-conspirators were taped - as you may well be aware terrorists love to post their work on the internet.
....and how??
Originally posted by hooperHow what? That's their job - that's how. Do you really think this was the first time in history that any law enforcement agency ever thought about checking nearby CCTV for evidence???? Geez, think a little.

Originally posted by hooperThere weren't 84 surveillance tapes confiscated from nearby buildings. Please present some evidence that these tapes were requested "so fast". You seem to hint that the tapes were requested minutes after the impact - do you have any evidence for this assertion?
- what other event in history needed a group of people to immediately seize that many surveillance videos?

Originally posted by hooperThey didn't hide any videos. The videos are private property voluntarily surrendered to authorities. The authorities have no right to release private property.

How does such a flimsy aluminum frame penetrate multiple layers of 9 ft thick concrete walls?
The extensive use of reinforced concrete and non-reinforced masonry was one concession. Certainly the threat of any kind of terrorist attack on the building was far from the thoughts of the original designers. As a result, the Pentagon was constructed with a thin limestone facade over a brick infill between reinforced concrete floors, structurally supported by a reinforced concrete beam and column frame. Enough to protect from the elements but not from the potential forces of significant blast events.
This argument is based on a misunderstanding of the Pentagon's design. In fact, the light wells between the C- and D-ring and D- and E-ring are only three stories deep. The first and second stories span the distance between the Pentagon's facade and the punctured C-ring wall, which faces a ground-level courtyard. There are no masonry walls in this space, only load-bearing columns. Thus it would be possible for an aircraft part that breached the facade to travel through this area on the ground floor, miss the columns, and puncture the C-ring wall without having encountering anything more than unsubstantial gypsum walls and furniture in-between.

Curiously, a large piece of wreckage was found in the entry hole; but the public was kept from closely observing what appears to be a sheared-off piece of wing from a much smaller jet than a Boeing 757. A group of military personnel and federal officials in suits tightly covered the piece of wreckage with a blue tarp and carried it away to a waiting truck
