Pentagon
No plane theory
Theory
American Airlines Flight 77 did not hit the Pentagon, but rather a missile did. This theory was originated by French conspiracy theorist, Thierry Meyssan, with his books: L'Effroyable Imposture (French), 9/11: The Big Lie (English), and later Pentagate. He suggests also suggests that the planes that hit the World Trade Center were remotely controlled by the U.S. government, and not piloted by the hijackers.
Fact
This claim ignores the fact that several passengers made phone calls and reported that the plane was hijacked.
- Renee May phoned her mother, and reported that the flight was hijacked.
- Barbara Olson called her husband, Ted Olson, and reported the hijacking. She also told her husband that the hijackers had knives and box cutters.
