THANKYOU for bringing that up. First of all, let's have a look where Mike was on the day. I believe you have an image showing his approximate location:  Now what did Mike actually say? MIKE WALTER: I will never forget that day, trapped in traffic and then I rolled down the window and heard the sound of the jet overhead. I wasn’t surprised. I worked in the USA today building in Roslyn nearby and we were used to seeing a lot of choppers coming to the helipad at the Pentagon and a lot of commercial jets heading to Reagan which is nearby. But for some reason I looked up and saw the underbelly of the jet as it gracefully banked, then I watched in shock as the jet basically lined up the Pentagon in its sights and began to scream towards the mammoth structure. I watched as it continued to dip from the sky, diving towards the Pentagon. There are some trees that are adjacent to 27 the road I was stuck on, so the jet went out of sight momentarily. Then I picked it up as it struck very low into the Pentagon. The wings folded back and it was like watching someone slam an empty aluminum can into a wall. The jet folded up like an accordion. There was a huge fireball. There was the initial shock of what had just happened. All of the drivers seemed to be in a trance. Then suddenly it ended when a woman began to scream, “They just hit the Pentagon, get back, get back.” She backed her SUV back and forth until she was able to create a crease and then she sped out of the area on the emergency lane. That’s when all hell broke loose as people began trying to get out of the area any way they could, some went forward, and others turned their cars around and drove in the wrong direction. All in an effort to get out of the area. - http://www.pentagonresearch.com/mike.html Now for Mike, from his position approximately 8 or 9 car lengths to the south of the passing aircraft, to see the underbelly of the aircraft it would have to be banking to the left (left wing down, right wing up). Your diagram, which puts the aircraft much further north, requires the aircraft to have been banking to the right (left wing up, right wing down), and the underbelly of the aircraft would not have been visible to anyone south of the Pentagon on Route 27. Guess what else Mike says? He says that it was an American Airlines jet and that he witnessed it slam directly into the Pentagon. Edited by bileduct, Jan 26 2008, 08:23 AM.
