our bus driver for most of our DC - New York trip that my son and I took last week told us he saw the plane hit the Pentagon, something I still think is a bit 'hinky'. He was on a trip with his wife and friends when he saw a plane coming in. After he commented to his friends that the plane over head looked like it was flying to low it sheared off a street light before slamming into the Pentagon. They didn't know about the attack in New York because they weren't listening to the radio so this was the first he know something was wrong. He said he was downtown DC when their was another huge explosion from the Pentagon - which leads me to believe the main reason we've seen and heard so little about that portion of 911 is because there was something else in the Pentagon that shouldn't have been there. The other reason we don't hear much about it is that this administration doesn't feel we deserve nor that we are important enough to bother telling.
I'll write more about this trip later - we had a fundy christian as our tour guide and she constantly over stepped her position and offended just about everyone on the trip - it was a group of 8th grade kids from one of our local public middle schools. I'm still recovering from the bus ride home from New York so I don't want to write until my brain is fully engaged, so please forgive me if the above seems a little fuzzy - I just thought it was so interesting I didn't want to wait.
