It has been shown that eyewitnesses accounts are highly flawed in regard to air disasters.
For Air Crash Detectives, Seeing Isn’t Believing
WASHINGTON— HUNDREDS of people watched the crash of American Airlines Flight 587 near Kennedy International Airport in New York on Nov. 12, and in the course of 93 seconds they apparently saw hundreds of different things.
According to the National Transportation Safety Board, which announced this month that it had gathered 349 eyewitness accounts through interviews or written statements, 52 percent said they saw a fire while the plane was in the air. The largest number (22 percent) said the fire was in the fuselage, but a majority cited other locations, including the left engine, the right engine, the left wing, the right wing or an unspecified engine or wing.
Nearly one of five witnesses said they saw the plane make a right turn; an equal number said it was a left turn. Nearly 60 percent said they saw something fall off the plane; of these, 13 percent said it was a wing. (In fact, it was the vertical portion of the tail.)

Reliability of Eyewitness Reports to a Major Aviation Accident
We have long known eyewitness testimony to be less than completely
reliable (Loftus 1996; Toglia, Reed, Ross & Lindsay, 2006).
At an airshow in 1952, a supersonic fighter disintegrated in the air causing the death of both crew and 29 spectators (Staff, 1952). Over 100,000 people witnessed the accident. A public appeal was put out for witness accounts and
photographs to help solve the mystery, resulting in several thousand letters being collected. Rivas and Bullen (2008) found “many of the accounts are touchingly detailed and well intentioned, but the whole of the vast mail was of little use” (p.186). The vital clue that led to determination of probable cause was supplied by a cine film.
The in-flight breakup happened in less than a second, and almost all the eyewitnesses, including experienced pilots, gave grossly inaccurate accounts when compared to the film record.

The first warning came before the 10:15 a.m. E Ring collapse, when FBI agent Chris Combs received a call through his FBI radio that a hijacked plane thought to be headed toward Washington was only 20 minutes away.
10:37 a.m. United Airlines Flight #93 crashes 80 miles south of Pittsburgh, PA.
The next three evacuations were full site-clearing evacuations caused by reports of additional threats of hijacked aircraft heading toward the Pentagon.
The first of these occurred at about 10:15 a.m. on September 11, when Special Agent Combs told Chief Schwartz another hijacked airliner was flying on a trajectory toward Washington, DC, and was 20 minutes away. Special Agent Combs got this information from the command center at the FBI WFO, which was in direct contact with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Using a radio belonging to an airport firefighter, he confirmed the information directly with the control tower at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
At the White House, the video teleconference was conducted from the Situation Room by Richard Clark, a special assistant to the president long involved in counter-terrorism. Logs indicate it began at 9:25 and included the CIA; the FBI; the departments of State, Justice, and Defense; the FAA; and the White House shelter. The FAA and CIA joined at 9:40.
Air traffic controllers have a direct pipeline into the FAA Office of Civil Aviation Security, which means the FAA is advising the FBI and FBI Special Agent Combs was well aware of the fact that UA93 had crashed in the Shanksville field at 10:05 AM; using reports by C-130 pilot Steven O’Brien. There is no reason for FBI Special Agent Combs to use any fireman radio to confirm anything with the FAA, because the FAA is teleconferencing with the FBI directly to receive live air traffic control updates on a minute-by-minute basis.
ACAAR page 52 continues :
Chief Schwartz issued a warning with each flight status update until the last warning when the airliner went below radar coverage in Pennsylvania, an estimated 4 minutes flying time from the Pentagon. Five minutes later, Special Agent Combs told him the airplane had crashed in Pennsylvania and the all clear was sounded. At 10:37 a.m., United Airlines Flight #93 crashed into a field near Shanksville, PA. The heroic actions of doomed passengers had thwarted the terrorist plan.
The authorities responsible for ACAAR sworn testimony are living inside a Combs/Schwartz-created bubble and the ACAAR is deliberately stating an incorrect UA93 crash time by more than a half hour. The reason that we see this 10:37 AM UA93 crash time is because FBI Special Agent Combs and Chief Schwartz are desperately trying to cover up the truth about exactly when the E-ring roof collapsed. Time-stamped Live News Video shows that the E-ring parapet wall began to collapse at exactly 10:15:16 AM. However, the corrupt ACAAR will report that the E-ring roof collapsed at 9:57 AM (Page 200).

And all of you OS-trusters can throw as many psychological witness reliability reports at us as you want, not one sane reader will believe you, after viewing all these videos of honest men who saw that plane flying to the north of the CITGO gas station, let it be, after additionally reading all my explanations of the earliest impact witness statements from Route 27, which clearly indicate a NoC approach by that attack plane.

RDX its explosive gas and metal lining particles their initial speed is thus 33 times faster than those plane-debris-particles and jet-fuel-particles at their initial first milliseconds after impact.
RDX
Demolishing steel columns is a bit more difficult, as the dense material is much stronger. For buildings with a steel support structure, blasters typically use the specialized explosive material cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine, called RDX for short. RDX-based explosive compounds expand at a very high rate of speed, up to 27,000 feet per second (8,230 meters per second). Instead of disintegrating the entire column, the concentrated, high-velocity pressure slices right through the steel, splitting it in half. Additionally, blasters may ignite dynamite on one side of the column to push it over in a particular direction.
To ignite both RDX and dynamite, you must apply a severe shock. In building demolition, blasters accomplish this with a blasting cap, a small amount of explosive material (called the primer charge) connected to some sort of fuse. The traditional fuse design is a long cord with explosive material inside. When you ignite one end of the cord, the explosive material inside it burns at a steady pace, and the flame travels down the cord to the detonator on the other end. When it reaches this point, it sets off the primary charge.

At 15:42 in the video, the reporter says "--Another explosion of some sort, now it could be a secondary explosion here from something happening, we heard a loud POP --".
At 15:58 in the video he says "--because we had a number of smaller explosions after the fire occurred.--".
Severed Gas Line Fuels Fire After Car Crashes into Cafe
Firefighters responded to an initial 911 call of a car driving into a building in the 700 block of Montana Avenue. Moments later it became a fire as well, as leaking natural gas ignited. Early on a series of small explosions could be heard, said Luis Rodriguez, a tailor at the dry cleaners across Montana Avenue, seeing smoke rise when he looked outside.

Since all eyewitness accounts are discredited, then you have no evidence to support your OS of the Pentagon.
There is radar data that tracked American 77 to the Pentagon. B-757 wreckage was recovered from inside and outside the Pentagon, not to mention that human remains from passengers and crew of American 77 were recovered and have been identified.
Chief Schwartz ordered a full evacuation at 10:15 AM, based on the remarks of FBI Agent Combs that the FAA said a second plane was on its way to the Pentagon, while that plane was known to the FAA to have CRASHED, already at 10:03:11 a.m.
And since the FAA was video teleconferencing already from 9:40 a.m. on, together with the FBI (see ACAAR-proof further down), Combs was either confused, or worse, used a lie to force all nosy bystanders away to make the disaster area free to roam for spec-ops teams, to finish their jobs, and blow that circular hole in that C-Ring brick wall with a Wall Breaching Unit, to have faster access to the ONI mainframes without prying eyes or cameras.

The landing gear from American 77 punched out the C-ring hole, not explosives. Note the tire and wheel rim outside the C-ring hole.

We also have altitude data on American 77.
C-130 pilot Steven O’Brien did not witness any crash period.
O'Brien witness some kind of crash scene while flying over, furthermore he is an eyewitness and according to you ALL eyewitness accounts are no good.
