Jesus, everywhere I turn my head on LJ anymore, the September 11th "Pentagon missile" theory keeps popping up. Did I miss something? Did all of the conspiracy theorists get together and decide to get this all over the place this week? And if so, why the hell didn't I get my memo?

(That's not to say I believe it, even though it makes you wonder. It'd actually be really nice if any of the Pentagon missile theory stuff could tell me where the fucking missing plane went.)

EDIT: If anybody's wondering what the Pentagon missile theory involves, this is a pretty thorough explanation. Contains Flash.

Although it doens't explain why the lawn wasn't damaged. Or where the plane went. Or why cars on I-395 didn't go flying into things. Or why the other cameras that had the plane on film were confiscated and never released.

Still, it is a nice page.

I thought the plane (like the ones that flew into the World Trade Center) was burnt and destroyed beyond recovery.

The CNN pictures snopes links to look to me like the plane hit the ground just short of the Pentagon, so most of the lawn and any cars on nearby roads would remain intact. (Snopes also points out the lawn was quickly covered in gravel to make it easier for rescue vehicles to get in and out.) Wreckage from the plane can also be seen in some pictures.

The wreckage was planted, of course.

(Okay, yeah, just stopped taking it seriously, sorry. Could've had a good debate going and everything.)
