â^À^ÜCan you explain how a Boeing 757-200, weighing nearly 100 tons and
travelling at a minimum speed of 250 miles an hour* only damaged the
outside of the Pentagon?â^À^Ý
A Truly Remarkable French Website
The hottest topic of discussion on alternative media websites today is
the sudden arrival of a left-field story into the crowded â^À^ÜWhat
Really Happened On 911â^À^Ý arena.
A group of photographers in France are challenging the public to look
through photos of the Pentagon (of which they have an archive) to find
any evidence that Flight 77 really did crash into the building.
They have built a snazzily designed English Language introduction to
their remarkable website which can be found at.

â^À^Ü Hunt the Boeing! And test your perceptions!
As everyone knows, on 11 September, less than an hour after the attack on
the World Trade Centre, an airplane collided with the Pentagon. The
Associated Press first reported that a booby-trapped truck had caused the
explosion. The Pentagon quickly denied this. The official US government
version of events still holds. Here's a little game for you: Take a look
at these photographs and try to find evidence to corroborate the official
version. It's up to you to Hunt the Boeing!â^À^Ý

Central to the Asile.org crewâ^À^Ùs novel new thesis on the events of
September 11th is the idea that a 757 crashing at 480 miles per hour
should have done lots more damage than it did.
The French Website introduction (translated by Google ) reads:

Thursday February 21, utopian Asylum met large turbulences. To answer the
exponential increase in its readers has (more than 15 000 for the only
day of Wednesday), the site had to be transferred on a new waiter. At 21
hours, it was again completely accessible.
Today, we reconsider the attack against the Pentagon with exhibits: a
photographic library of 50 images available into low, average and high
definition.
September 11 in the morning, whereas televisions of the whole world
diffused images of planes being crushed on the lathes of World Trade
Center, an attack took place with the seat of the Defence Department of
the United States. According to the official version of the government, a
Boeing 757-200 would have been crushed on the Pentagon. The journalists
having been held with the variation in order to "not obstruct the helps",
the majority of the images comes from military sources.
The consultation of these photographs, available on waiters Internet of
the army of the United States, however results in expressing serious
doubts on the official version. It seems indeed completely impossible
that such a plane could cause damage also little.
We let to you judge on part. Here, gathered on the same site, the
photographs of the attack against the Pentagon. You can consult them in
several formats and download them in high definition. The initial legend,
the name of the photographer and his service and the Web page where the
image was published are systematically indicated.
The diversion of a plane makes it possible to justify the thesis of the
external enemy. But if the cause of the explosion is not a plane fallen
from the sky, there probably existed of internal complicities. The enemy
of the American democracy could be interior well. â^À^Ü

There is considerable skepticism about this report, not the least in
light of the fact that it has emerged at the exactly the same time that
Le Monde has published an expose into Israeli Intelligence (Seeâ^À¦ Links
And Transcripts: Israeli Spyring Shocker)and its far-fetchedness might
therefore be an attempt to pre-emptively undermine the growing case that
911 requires further investigation, through misdirection down a blind
alley.
Whatreallyhappened.com, which specialises in alternative news concerning
911, is presently carrying the following comment on the new website.

â^À^Ü# 03/04/02 Hunt the Boeing Back by popular demand!
I originally took down this link because I have a logic problem with the
basic premise of this page; that the damage to the Pentagon was from a
truck bomb rather than a passenger jet. If the plane did not crash into
the Pentagon, where is it? But a lot of people emailed me asking me to
put the link back up, so I put the link back in.

Make up your own mind.
UPDATE: This story appears to be deliberate disinformation planted to
embarrass and discredit critics of the official story of 9-11 and is
likely being promoted by informants and other government propagandists.

For his part C.D. Sludge can seem to recall seeing TV footage of debris
from an aircraft being craned onto a truck. Though the memory can lie.
Further evidence that most probably puts this report in the â^À^Üweird,
wacky and wrongâ^À^Ý conspiracy theory file are the passenger lists and
biographies which appear all over the web.
The following is just one of many websites on this.
Seeâ^À¦
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2001/09/12/victim-capsule-flight77.htm
Notably this includes a story on Barbara Olson, 45, a prominent lawyer
and frequent political pundit on CNN and other TV channels who called her
husband twice as the plane was being hijacked and described some details,
including that the attackers were using knife-like instruments.

Steve Patterson, 43, said he was watching television reports of the World
Trade Center being hit when he saw a silver commuter jet fly past the
window of his 14th-floor apartment in Pentagon City. The plane was about
150 yards away, approaching from the west about 20 feet off the ground,
Patterson said. He said the plane, which sounded like the high-pitched
squeal of a fighter jet, flew over Arlington cemetary so low that he
thought it was going to land on I-395. He said it was flying so fast that
he couldn't read any writing on the side. The plane, which appeared to
hold about eight to 12 people, headed straight for the Pentagon but was
flying as if coming in for a landing on a nonexistent runway, Patterson
said. "At first I thought 'Oh my God, there's a plane truly misrouted
from National,'" Patterson said. "Then this thing just became part of the
Pentagon .â^À^Ú.â^À^Ú. I was watching the World Trade Center go and then
this. It was like Oh my God, what's next?" He said the plane, which
approached the Pentagon below treetop level, seemed to be flying normally
for a plane coming in for a landing other than going very fast for being
so low. Then, he said, he saw the Pentagon "envelope" the plane and
bright orange flames shoot out the back of the building. "It looked like
a normal landing, as if someone knew exactly what they were doing," said
Patterson, a graphics artist who works at home. "This looked
intentional."
-------
A pilot who saw the impact, Tim Timmerman, said it had been an American
Airways 757. "It added power on its way in," he said. "The nose hit, and
the wings came forward and it went up in a fireball." Smoke and flames
poured out of a large hole punched into the side of the Pentagon.
Emergency crews rushed fire engines to the scene and ambulancemen ran
towards the flames holding wooden pallets to carry bodies out. A few of
the lightly injured, bleeding and covered in dust, were recovering on the
lawn outside, some in civilian clothes, some in uniform. A piece of
twisted aircraft fuselage lay nearby. No one knew how many people had
been killed, but rescue workers were finding it nearly impossible to get
to people trapped inside, beaten back by the flames and falling debris.
-------
He said another witness told him a helicopter exploded. AP reporter Dave
Winslow also saw the crash. He said, "I saw the tail of a large airliner
... It ploughed right into the Pentagon.

'Black Boxes' Found at Pentagon Crash Site By Rudi Williams American
Forces Press Service WASHINGTON, Sept. 14, 2001 -- Searchers found the
flight data and cockpit voice recorders about 4 a.m. today in the
wreckage of the hijacked plane that slammed into the Pentagon on Sept.
11, Defense Department officials said. The two "black boxes" will help
investigators put together the puzzle of what happened during the doomed
flight, said DoD spokesman Army Lt. Col. George H. Rhynedance. "The voice
recorder will tell what was going on in the cockpit," he said. The data
box, he said, will tell what was happening with the aircraft as it headed
toward the Pentagon, such as its rate of turn. Information from the two
boxes will help determine what actually happened during the flight, he
said. The recorders were turned over the FBI. The recorders are now at
the National Transportation Safety Board laboratory in Washington, where
technicians are working to recover data on the recorders.
