Evidence of Pentagon and military officials complicity in 9/11 events and participation along with 9/11 Commission authors in an obvious cover-up.

 

Fl 77     Pentagon       Boeing 757

Original FAA/NORAD Time Line

 

8:20 AM  Takeoff from Dulles Airport,  D.C.

8:25  FAA notified all Regional FAA offices of Flight 11 hijacking

8:25  bridge call between FAA, NMCC, DOT, DOD, etc. started by NMCC as significant incident conference when Fl 11 hijacking reported

and later upgraded to air threat conference dealing with all “planes of interest”

8:31 a.m. NORAD employee Lt. Colonel Dawne Deskins  says that Boston flight control notifies NORAD of Flight 11's hijacking at this time

8:42  FAA confirmed radio and transponder off on Flight 175

8:43  FAA notifies NORAD that a second plane appears to be hijacked and has turned towards N Y

8:46  NEADS(NORAD) scrambles 2 jets from Otis AFB to N Y

8:46  FAA notes FL 77 significantly off course;  this is supported by USA Today published  flight course time line

8:47  WTC1 hit by airplane; 

8:50  No radio contact with Fl 77

8:50  bridge call between FAA, DOD, DOT, NORAD, NMCC  re: “all  planes of interest”

8:50 White House Secret Service has a continuous connection to FAA after Flight 11 hit WTC1

8:55  a plane assumed to be Fl 77 seen on FAA radar heading east over West

     Virginia:    Senator Levin during testimony of Gen. Ralph Eberhart, commander of NORAD,  before the Senate Armed Services Committee on October 25

8:56  transponder off on Fl 77 and plane turned around over NE Kentucky

8:57  report by FAA that Fl 77  crashed or landed near Kentucky/Ohio border/ lost on radar

9:03  a plane hits WTC2;  notification sent out by FAA

9:04  FAA closes down all air traffic takeoffs in Northeastern U.S.

9:04  FAA Controllers in New York and Washington are briefed to watch for planes whose speed indicates they are jets, but which have transponders

turned off or are not responding to radio.

9:03  Secret Service calls Andrews AFB and tells them to prepare jets to scramble

9:05  3 F-16 jets from Andrews AFB were on a training flight in North Carolina but could have been recalled to D.C. before 9:00 AM

as the trip takes less than 15 minutes.

9:03 to 9:16  President Bush is sitting listening to a book being read to elementary students in Sarasota, Florida- even though he was

told that a second hijacked plane had hit WTC2.

9:06 a.m.  All air traffic facilities nationwide are notified that the Flight 11 crash into the WTC was probably a hijacking.

9:05  West Virginia FAA ATC notices a plane headed towards D.C. without a transponder on.

9:09  NORAD orders Langley jets to battle station alert

9:17  FAA shuts down all New York area air ports

9:21  FAA contacts NORAD and says a plane is still heading towards D.C.            (confirmed, page 21 of 9/11 Comm. Report)

9:24  FAA contacts NORAD and says Fl 77 may have been hijacked and is headed towards D.C.

9:25  NORAD scrambles jets from Langley AFB heading to D.C.

9:25  Ted Olsen, U.S. Justice Dept., says that he was called by his wife Barbara who was on UA77.  He said she said the flight had been hijacked.

But he gave several versions of the call and said that the call was collect from a plane air phone because she did not have a credit card,

which is not possible.

9:26  FAA Head Jane Garvey initiates a national ground stop, grounding all U.S. air craft.  Transportation Sec. Mineta, who was in the

White House operation center with V.P. Cheney, also indicated he took part in this decision.

9:27  V.P. Cheney in the White House operation center is told that a plane is 50 miles out heading towards the capital.

9:30  jets  in the air heading to D.C. (130 mile trip, 6 minute trip at 25 miles per minute)

 9:38  something hits the Pentagon,  jets reported to be off course and still 105 miles away

9:38 C130 electronic warfare plane following the plane that hit the Pentagon flies through the smoke at the Pentagon

9:40  Jets from Andrews AFB ordered scrambled by Gen Myers and are soon in the air.

 

Note: General Richard Myers, commander of U.S. Forces, and the NORAD spokesman Mike Snyder both originally reported that no jets

were scrambled by the military until after the Pentagon was hit.  After considerable criticism of an apparent military stand down, the new report

was issued indicating that FAA notified NORAD at 9:24 and planes were scrambled but got lost and arrived too late.

After more criticism of both earlier scenarios as implying a military stand down, the 9/11 Commission revised the time line and official scenario

again in 2004, stating that the Pentagon was unaware that there was a plane heading towards D.C. until it was hit.  And that the earlier report

that planes had been scrambled to intercept Flight 77 were in error.  [this is clearly contradicted by considerable testimony and evidence]

 

New Revised 9/11 Commission Time Line(2004)

8:20  Flight 77 takeoff from Dulles Airport

8::38   FAA contacts NORAD that Fl 11 hijacked,  NORAD spends 8 minutes on calls up chain of command 

8:46  jets scrambled from Otis AFB to New York   

8:47 WTC1 hit,  notice goes out to FAA offices 

8:52  2 jets from Otis AFB are in air to N Y 

8:54  Flight 77 significantly off course

8:56  transponder signal and radar track lost, assumed to have crashed or landed

9:00  FAA head Jane Garvey notifies the White House that a plane has crashed in Kentucky

9:03   a plane hits WTC2 South Tower,  military was never notified by FAA 

9: 21  FAA reported to NORAD that Flight 11 did not hit WTC1 and is headed towards D.C.

9:24  NORAD scrambles  3 jets form Langley AFB to Washington to intercept Fl 11 but does not know where target is;  pilots make a mistake

and fly out to sea far away from D.C.

9:25  FAA controller tells FAA HQ they think Flight 77 may have been hijacked

9:36  FAA Boston notifies NORAD of plane heading towards DC

9:38 plane hits Pentagon; NORAD never notified that plane was headed to D.C., Pentagon notified only 2 minutes before building was hit 

 

The new revised 9/11 Comm. Scenario for Fl 77 said that the previous report of course changes and turning around(as also reported by news reports)

were wrong and that the FAA was not aware that the plane had turned around and was heading towards D.C.  So the plane flew undetected towards

Washington for 36 minutes.  The Comm. Report states that the military was never notified that the plane was headed towards D.C. and was never

aware that the plane was hijacked.  The Commission said that earlier reports and statements that NORAD was notified about the Fl 175 and Fl 77

hijackings were in error.  The Comm. Said that the real reason that the Langley jets were scrambled to D.C. was that the FAA had reported at 9:21

that Flight 11 that had earlier been reported to have hit WTC1  was actually still in the air and heading towards D.C.  They were aware of this new

 report for the first time in 2004 and used it to correct the time line.  The Comm. said however that it was unable to identify the source of the report

or who took the report.   The Comm. Said that at 9:36  when the jet pilots were contacted to intercept Flight 11 which was thought to be headed

towards D.C., the planes were still 105 miles away because the pilots had misunderstood their instructions and headed east out to sea.

[Flight Controllers at FAA who were monitoring Flight 11 had stated to reporters that they never lost sight of Fl 11 and watched it all the way to

WTC1 and were aware of the crash,  which was reported to all regional offices- so it is not known why the military and Comm. Were confused about this.

 

There is considerable evidence contradicting the 9/11 Comm. Revised time line and scenario.

 

1.     Journalist Tom Flocco reported in 2003 that Laura Brown of FAA said that a phone bridge between the FAA and Charles Leidig of NMCC

had begun between 8:20 and 8:25 after Fl 11 was known to be hijacked.  This conference call was begun as a significant incident call after

Fl 11 was hijacked but was upgraded later to an air threat call dealing with all “planes of interest”.  A source at the Dept. of Transportation

confirmed the 8:25 time period for the bridge call between NORAD, Secret Service, DOD, and DOT. 

[Later after controversy and a conversation with her supervisors, Laura Brown emailed that she wanted to revise her time estimate of the

start of the earlier bridge call from 8:20 to 8:45.  Tom Flocco stated his opinion that after talking to several parties, he is convinced the call

started at the earlier time]

2.     Laura Brown(senior FAA official at Boston Logan) (memo of May 23, 2003)   The FAA and military and NORAD had been in constant

communication from just after the first WTC crash and prior to the WTC2 crash(since approx. 8:50)  Many sources confirm this call and

that they were talking about “all flights of interest”.

3.     Matthew Wald, NY Times published story supports the Laura Brown version of the call. It reported that according to his sources: 

“During the hour that the Fl 77 was under the control of the hijackers, up to the moment it struck the west side of the Pentagon, military

officials in a command center on the East Side of the Pentagon were urgently talking to law enforcement and air traffic control officials

about what to do”                         (the command center is the NMCC and air traffic control is FAA)

4. Statement by Captain M. Jellinik, NORAD command director on 9/11,   According to news reports quoting him, a bridge call between

NMCC, NORAD, and FAA began just after the first strike on the WTC, consistent with the time of the original Laura Brown memo. 

5.     According to a report by Richard Clark, National Security Coordinator:  He reported that the deputy director of the White House Situation Room

told him at 9:15 that they had been on the air threat call with NORAD and FAA. This call had been going on a considerable time as it had begun

as a significant event call and had been upgraded to an air threat call, and there had been many exchanges of information.  According to Clarke,

the FAA head Jane Garvey was at the White House teleconference answering questions about the hijackings before 9:20 am. 

6.     The Commission report said that it could not determine who from DOD participated in the teleconference with Clark and the FAA;

however Richard Clarke had testified that Gen Myers and Donald Rumsfeld and Jane Garvey were on the call.  Others confirm this.

Norman Mineta, Secretary of Transportation, said he met with Richard Clark who was on a conference call before going to the

White House PEOC room to meet with V.P. Cheney at 9:20.  So Clark was on the conference call by 9:15.

7.     Norman Mineta,  Sec. of Transportation,  testimony before 9/11 Comm.: on a meeting he was at with V.P. Cheney at the White House PEOC

that he arrived at about 9:20: 

“During the time that the airplane was coming in to the Pentagon, there was a young man who would come in and say to the vice president,

“The plane is 50 miles out”; “The plane is 30 miles out” ;  And when it got down to “the plane is 10 miles out” the young man said to the

vice president,  “Do the orders still stand?”  And the Vice President turned and whipped his neck around and said “Of course the orders

still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?” 

[This documents that the military command was monitoring the plane, and some say that a decision was clearly made to not intercept it or shoot

it down with missiles.  This testimony by Mineta and that of Clark was not included in the Comm. Report]

 

Discrepancies in General Myers and Donald Rumsfeld’s statements

 

The 9/11 Commission Report apparently tries to deflect the criticism that Gen Myers complicit in the stand down by stating that Gen Myers

was on Capital Hill meeting with Senator Cleland from 8:45 to 9:45 am about personnel matters during the period prior to the time that WTC

and the Pentagon buildings were attacked.  Thus he never took part in dealing with 9/11 events.  [But some have stated this is strange behavior

for the commander of U.S. forces to not be contacted and not take part when the U.S. was under attack]

 

Also this statement is contradicted by the report and testimony of Richard Clarke, the National Security Director.  He said that Myers, Rumsfeld,

Tenet, Muller, and Garvey were on a teleconference call about the attacks and that he had a discussion with Gen Myers about getting fighters up

over Washington.  He said Myers gave a report that we have 3 F 16s from Langley up over the Pentagon and Andrews is launching fighters from

the DC air national guard(DCANG).  This also contradicts Gen Myers statements to the effect that Andrews AFB had no planes on alert to defend

the D.C. area.  One of these men clearly isn’t telling the truth, and given the number of people on the teleconference call it is easy to confirm who it is.  

 

Shortly after 9/11, Sec of Defense Donald Rumsfeld made a statement carried by news reports and on the DOD web site about his actions on 9/11. 

Apparently he was also anxious to imply that he had not been aware of the 9/11 events before the buildings were hit.  He said that he heard

something happened and went downstairs to see what happened and was told a plane had hit the Pentagon (he was in the East wing, plane

hit the west wing which is a considerable distance away). He said he went to the crash site and helped with putting people on stretchers for

loading in ambulances and returned to his office at about 10:20.  In testimony to the 9/11 Comm., he gave a slightly different story. He said

that when the plane hit the Pentagon shook and he went out to see what had happened.  He said he wasn’t there long and returned to his office

at about 10:00.  Note that actions and times are important due to other events. 

The 9/11 Comm. agreed with the first report regarding actions and with the 2nd statement regarding the time of return to the office. But note the

time that the plane hit and the fact that it is about a 10 minute walk from Rumsfeld’s office in the East wing to the west wing parking lot.   Also

there is contradictory testimony to any of these statements.

 

All of these statements are in conflict with Richard Clarke’s report, which is easily verifiable.  Clarke said that Myers and Rumsfeld were on the

teleconference call with him and others about the hijackings from about 9:15 until the plane hit the Pentagon. When the plane hit, Rumsfeld said

that smoke was getting into the secure conference room so he moved to another studio at the Pentagon.  This contradicts Rumsfeld’s statements

on where he was and what he was doing.  It also contradicts Myers and Rumsfeld’s statements that they were unaware of the status of  Fl 77

before it hit the Pentagon.

 

The Comm. Report appears to be an obvious attempt to cover up these discrepancies by not looking at or reporting information from

testimony that was not consistence with the statements of Cheney, Myers, Rumsfeld, and other top DOD and military leaders. The testimony

of Transportation Secretary who was in charge of all response to the non military response to the hijackings , and the testimony of

National Security Coordinator Richard Clarke, that of many FBI agents such as Sibel Edmunds and Crowley and of other officials was not

included or mentioned in the Comm. Report.  The FBI agents testified that they were aware of prior warnings of the plans for the attacks and

that they and others had warned the administration and pentagon officials, and also that their efforts prior to 9/11 to prevent the attacks were

stifled by FBI top level officials.  Although the Commission Report says that the Pentagon only became aware of the plane heading to the

Pentagon at 9:36 which was 2 minutes before the building was hit, it is clear this was not the case.  Note another suspicious event that is

contradictory to this statement besides the previous reports and testimony.  The Comm. Report says that the Pentagon became aware of an

unarmed military C 130H cargo plane in the Washington area and ordered it to find the plane and identify it.  The C 130H pilot said that he spotted

 the plane, identified it as a Boeing 757, attempted to follow its path, and reported that it crashes into the Pentagon. Rather a lot of action in an

extremely short time period when talking to a C130 pilot would not be high on official’s agenda.  This is the primary source identifying that

the plane that hit the Pentagon was a Boeing 757.  Besides the obvious time complications, this story does not seem to be compatible with

another story in the Commission Report about the plane that hit the Pentagon’s approach and actions.  And another strange story of this

C 130H being involved in Pennsylvania with the Flight 93 crash incident also have very confusing statements.

 

This information come from Chap 14 of  the book of Dr. D.R. Griffin,   The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions; 

the book has references for the sources of information quoted.

 

The plane hit the Pentagon 1 hour and 35 minutes after Flight 11 was reported to be hijacked; 52 minutes after WTC1 was hit;  48 minutes after

Flight 77 was reported by FAA to be off course and with no radio contact; and 42 minutes after a plane was reported to be headed towards D.C.
