8. Eyewitness Reports On the Sounds of Jet Engines Before Crash
Source: Internet Orange............. Patterson, Steve
Steve Patterson, who lives in Pentagon City, said it appeared to him that a commuter jet swooped over Arlington National Cemetery and headed for the Pentagon "at a frightening rate . . . just slicing into that building." . . .
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. . . ."
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."

. . . He was standing in the parking lot at the Pentagon when he noticed a jetliner lower its landing gear as if to make a landing and then he realized that the airplane was actually heading towards the southwest wall of the Pentagon . . .

He saw the plane fly above a nearby hotel and drop its landing gear. The plane's right wheel struck a light pole, causing it to fly at a 45-degree angle, he said. The plane tried to recover, but hit a second light pole and continued flying at an angle. "You could hear the engines being revved up even higher," Sepulveda said.
The plane dipped its nose and crashed into the southwest side of the Pentagon.
"The right engine hit high, the left engine hit low," Sepulveda said. "For a brief moment, you could see the body of the plane sticking out from the side of the building. Then a ball of fire came from behind it."
An explosion followed, sending Sepulveda flying against a light pole.

Why do you mention missle?Many eyewitnesses saw, heard, and smelled a jet plane crash into the Pentagon.
NO eyewitnesses saw a missile.

"Pulling away from the Pentagon there was tons of stuff on the ground, big pieces of metal, concrete, everything. We got up to a certain point and there was this huge piece of something -- I mean it was big, it looked like a piece of an engine or something -- in the road.I agree with you.
But the assumption would be that "it disintegrated into small pieces" but when you think on.. remember the plane in Greece, flying in a mountain.. plenty of big pieces. In Nigeria, plenty of big pieces. 2 747's on Tenerife - big inferno killing 500+ passengers... Big pieces. All crashes give large pieces.
No here. All pieces found were small.... Weired!
Have a look at the picture... Wings desintegrating on the facade of the pentagon should leave holes or at least marks... Nothing..
I have been at a site where a F-16 crashed. In a field in Germany when I was in the army. We had to clean up the wreckage. Many small pieces. Lot's of them. But still, there are large pieces that can identify the plane. Pieces too big to handle by hand.
From the Popular Mechanics article:Can you fit the plane in the hole?
Because that's what the conspiracy theory supporters call it.Why do you mention missle?
He said it "appeared" to be; that's not the same as saying "it was". Appears to be means it seemed to be that object; it does NOT mean it was that object. From that person's perspective, that was the description.You see how some talk about a commuter jet? With 8 to 12 people..
Excellent.. the wings sheared off....Shoot, I could have told you that the wings would NOT, could NOT have made holes in this concrete building! Of course they sheared off! And quite easily, too.
Conspiracy theorizing at it's best! Not! Not this time!
Like I said. Any theory can be supported by witness accounts. That's why I look at facts.He said it "appeared" to be; that's not the same as saying "it was". Appears to be means it seemed to be that object; it does NOT mean it was that object. From that person's perspective, that was the description.
Conspiracy theories are just that...theories.
We're not repeating "official sources". Planes DID crash into the Towers and into the Pentagon. What Reba has to say is very stong from an enginnering standpoint.
[QUOTE/]Like I said. Any theory can be supported by witness accounts. That's why I look at facts.
Camera's - Only 1... on the Pentagone???
Wreckage - a 757 .. and there's nothing left ... but almost all bodies could be identified
Regarding Popular Science... that explained everything to you....From the Popular Mechanics article:............Popular Mechanics - Debunking The 9/11 Myths - Mar. 2005 Cover Story

I agree with Cloggy.
I sadly watched the tragedy from where I live in Europe. Many innocent people died or get harmed
The tragedy should be investigated by independent ,trusted and specialized persons or organizations. I don't believe in the US governtment's explanations. There are many suspicious points STILL.
No, it's not just news about memorial but movie...
I watched good movie yesterday. It's about few Germans who work in the World Tower Center... It's part I and will be Part 2 tomorrow (wednesday). A German (Hans) feel guilty for not want to go New York because he want to stay with her heavy pregnant wife and let his best friend Georg go for him and killed by terrorist which Hans supposed go, not his best friend.......
Excellent.. the wings sheared off....
So, they would be outside the Pentagon.....
Where?
It's great that you think further and conclude that the wings sheared off, but in that case, there must be wreakage...
Listen to the CNN-footage. There were no big pieces... Look at all available pictures... no big pieces... Only 1 landing gear... one wheel, 1 turbine that was NOT of an 757....
THINK!
The sad thing is... it's NOT a fact. Why do you think it's a fact?
It IS a fact that it was a plane that crashed into Pentagon.
Accept that and move on.
