The Conspiracy Show Richard Syrett Season 2 Episode 12 | 9/11: What Happened at the Pentagon?
Richard travels to Washington D.C and Forth Worth, Texas where he speaks with two investigators who challenge the official version of events concerning the attack on the U.S. Pentagon on September 11, 2001. Researchers present evidence to suggest the attack was perpetrated by some rogue element inside the U.S. government. Was it indeed American Airlines Flight 77 that crashed into the west wall of the Pentagon killing 125 people in the building and another 59 onboard the plane? What hit the pentagon? Was it a Tomahawk missile? Was it a bomb placed inside the building? Was it an empty passenger plane loaded with explosives guided by remote control, or Global Hawk technology? A fire and explosion expert and the publisher of a skeptical journal attempt to refute these claims.
Broadcast personality Richard Syrett creates a calm, rational platform on which stars from the worlds of conspiracy thought, the paranormal, alternate health can engage in high quality discourse in these subject arenas.

00:00Hi, I'm Richard Serrett. Welcome to The Conspiracy Show.
00:15On Tuesday, September 11, 2001, American Airlines Flight 77 was making a transcontinental flight from Los Angeles
00:24when the plane was hijacked by five Al-Qaeda terrorists and deliberately crashed into the western side of the Pentagon at 9.37 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
00:35All 64 people on board the aircraft, including the hijackers, and 125 inside the Pentagon were killed.
00:43At least, that's the official version of events.
00:46There is an alternative version being forwarded by various independent researchers and investigators that contend American Airlines Flight 77 did not hit the Pentagon.
00:58Some of these researchers claim it was a cruise missile.
01:02Some claim it was a Global Hawk drone, in other words, a remote-controlled plane.
01:08And another researcher claims a truck bomb, not a Boeing 757, which caused the devastation at the Pentagon.
01:15Warning, some of these claims go as far as to allege that certain key individuals within the government
01:23either had foreknowledge of the attacks and turned a blind eye,
01:27or planned the attacks and collaborated with or framed Al-Qaeda in carrying them out.
01:34Tonight, The Conspiracy Show will examine some of these alternative theories.
01:40We're about to meet several independent researchers who will provide their best evidence for their theories.
01:47And naturally, we'll hear from the other side.
01:50A fire and explosion expert will talk in support of the official version.
01:56Now, this is an incredibly sensitive topic and very controversial.
02:01But, it's time to turn down the heat and turn on some lights.
02:05We all want the truth.
02:07Let's commit to following that truth, wherever it may lead.
02:11It is time to redefine reality.
02:14Genetic enigma.
02:15Genetic enigma.
02:16Or a human-alien idea.
02:18That's how cynical I am now about the process.
02:21Is it possible that technology can alter weather patterns?
02:24They're going to ignore this.
02:25They're going to make it.
02:26Has been engineered by the Illuminati?
02:29There's no doubt.
02:30Barry Zwicker is an investigative journalist, a documentary filmmaker,
02:33and the author of The Towers of Deception, the media cover-up of 9-11.
02:38Barry, welcome to The Conspiracy Show.
02:40Good to be here.
02:46Let's talk about what happened at the Pentagon.
02:49Give us a timeline of the official version.
02:52Well, the official version is that American Airlines Flight 77 went off radar,
02:59then appeared in the Washington area,
03:02and impacted the Pentagon at 10.30 on the day of 9-11.
03:09There isn't one single official version of that, though.
03:14According to the official story, this whole huge giant 757 folded up
03:19and then exploded with such incredible force and heat and violence
03:23that it just disintegrated the entire plane.
03:26Talk to me about the hole in the west side of the Pentagon where something hit.
03:38We do have photographs of the hole in the Pentagon prior to the collapse of the wall.
03:43Now, a Boeing 757 has a wingspan of 125 feet and a tail height of 44 feet, which is four stories.
03:52Okay, that's one large aircraft. The hole was nothing even close.
03:56So, the question becomes, how do you get an airplane into a hole that's only 10 foot high and 18 foot wide?
04:04And, of course, the answer is, you can't.
04:07If you look at the body measurements of the jet itself, you find that it's approximately 12 by 13 feet.
04:12I would expect the hole to be that size.
04:15A lot of 9-11 truthers point to the size of the hole in the west wall of the Pentagon and say,
04:26there's no way that hole matches the size of a 757.
04:31Explain the discrepancy.
04:33A jet is essentially a long cigar tube with two wings affixed to it, very thin on the top,
04:38sled-like on the bottom where most of the reinforcement is.
04:41If you take a look at the size of the fuselage of the plane and the size of the hole, there's an exact match.
04:46This is a lot of aircraft, and nothing resembling the amount of debris that you should expect from the impact of such a large aircraft was ever found there.
04:57Having been an award-winning aviation aerospace rider, I've been to many plane crashes,
05:03and the tails are usually always intact, the wheel assemblies are always there, and the jet engines are always there,
05:10and yet we see none of this in front of the Pentagon.
05:13Didn't rescue workers, though, report seeing passengers still strapped into their seats?
05:19There are witness reports that said they saw bodies and that they saw body parts and this, that, and the other thing,
05:26but then who were these witnesses? They were all working for or under direct control of the Pentagon.
05:31It's lies. Just complete, outright, bald, disinformational lies. That's all you can say.
05:36I don't want to call them liars, but I would like to point out that all you have to do is go back and look at the track record of our military and of our government as a whole.
05:45Do they tell us the truth unerringly? No. In fact, they've been caught in lie after lie after lie after lie.
05:52And frankly, I don't understand why anybody believes anything the government says anymore.
05:57Scores and scores of veteran pilots, real pilots who know what they're talking about, they've flown these large planes,
06:06and they all say what Flight 77 allegedly did is simply aerodynamically impossible.
06:13Washington, D.C., the airspace around this capital is perhaps the most defended, fortified space anywhere in the world.
06:25And yet, we're to believe that Hani Honjour, the alleged hijacker of American Airlines Flight 77,
06:32was able to penetrate this airspace and crash that plane into the Pentagon.
06:38You're absolutely right. This is one of the big discrepancies in the whole story.
06:43There's ample room for all kinds of explanations, except for the one that's formally presented, and that explanation has no credibility.
06:57That a few hours of training in, you know, one of these 800 toll-free number pilot training schools gives them the ability to do precision flying.
07:07And yet, we're told he's going at 555 miles an hour, right at treetop level and unarriably, and piles into the west side of the Pentagon.
07:16I mean, they hit with absolute precision.
07:18But even so, maybe he got lucky.
07:22I mean, I'm not sure it's that hard. You don't have to land. You just have to smash.
07:34I would imagine if you were flying close to the ground and you have visual lineup, that's much easier once you're on the course and you make a few turns.
07:43As far as I know, these guys learned well enough to do what they needed to do.
07:48Scores and scores of veteran pilots, real pilots who know what they're talking about, they've flown these large planes, and they all say what Flight 77 allegedly did is simply aerodynamically impossible.
08:03I would say to you, it is not impossible. If we look at historical example, we can see where that, in fact, has occurred in the past.
08:10The Japanese trained pilots so they could take off and not land, and they were required to steer into a target from a very high altitude and hit it with precision, and they did so regularly.
08:21A big jet like the 757 pushes an air cushion in front of it, and the closer to the ground you get, the more dense this air cushion is.
08:30You would not be able to get that close to the ground because of this ground effect.
08:34What was their actual background? How many of them were perhaps trained Saudi Air Force pilots?
08:41There's been discrepancies over the actual identity of the hijackers.
08:46At least seven of them have turned out to be phony names because those people turned up alive in the Middle East and said, wait a minute, here I am.
08:54People came forward and said, my name has been listed as one of the 9-11 hijackers. Look at me. I'm still here. I'm still alive. I had nothing to do with this.
09:03This was widely reported all around the world, but not in the United States. So everyone still thinks these hijackers are the one. So we don't even know who's really on board or what they did.
09:15With all the security cameras around the Pentagon, why have we yet to see clear images of a 757 hitting the Pentagon?
09:23Again, we go back to the fact that this was a fraud.
09:29I didn't see a plane, and neither is anybody else.
09:33The framing rate for most security cameras are approximately four frames per second.
09:38When you have a plane that's traveling at over 400 miles per hour, what you expect to see, and what we did see, is something that looks like a solid object passing through the frame.
09:48That is totally consistent with the level of technology that was used in security cameras around the Pentagon.
09:54Where are the rest of these security camera tapes? Why can't we see it?
09:58If it was a big plane crashing into the Pentagon, terrible, tragic, we all know that, that's the story.
10:03We'll see the pictures, but we can't see that.
10:06Why would you want to give your enemy footage that would show the kind of destruction and damage so they could plan another attack?
10:12It makes totally no sense to me.
10:16So there were no calls from Barbara Olsen, and yet everything we think we know, the idea of box cutters, small knives,
10:23herding the passengers to the rear of the plane along with the flight crew,
10:28all of that came from the reported calls from Barbara Olsen, which never happened.
10:37Any thoughts on the famous Barbara Olsen cell phone call to her husband, the Solicitor General?
10:44The veracity of that call or those calls has been completely thrown beyond, I was going to say into question, but it's not even in question.
10:55She and her husband were part of the Cheney inner circle, not the kind of person who you would, by choice,
11:03have go down as one of the victims of something that's ultimately attempting to set up a coup d'etat against the Constitution of the United States.
11:14You'll find that just about everything that we think we know about what happened on the hijacked aircraft
11:19is due to these phone calls from Barbara Olsen.
11:22According to the FBI, there was only one call from Barbara Olsen, and it was, quote, unconnected, end quote.
11:31In other words, there was no call from Barbara Olsen.
11:34She tried to make one, but she couldn't connect anything.
11:37The phone call lasted for not even a second. That's the actual registered phone call.
11:43So there were no calls from Barbara Olsen, and yet everything we think we know, the idea of box cutters,
11:48small knives, herding the passengers to the rear of the plane along with the flight crew,
11:55all of that came from the reported calls from Barbara Olsen, which never happened.
12:00Barbara Olsen is alive and well somewhere under some other name.
12:05I mean, are we to believe that they're living somewhere in Canada or something or on the moon?
12:10All of the people who were on that passenger manifest and crew list would have had been disposed of one way or the other.
12:18A few weeks later, they said, well, we've identified the passengers. And how'd they do that? By fingerprints.
12:24A steel airplane and the jet engines, and they disintegrate, but they found fingerprints.
12:30I mean, you know, all those people have families, and that one family is reported that, in fact, their loved one is alive after all.
12:38You know, he showed up and the plane is mysteriously, not one.
12:43The Pentagon, arguably, the most defended building in the world.
12:47Right.
12:48How does a civilian airliner penetrate that airspace to begin with?
12:52Now, that's a $64,000 question. I happen to know for a fact because I was in Army Intelligence.
12:57No aerial vehicle of any kind should have been able to penetrate that airspace on any day, of any week, of any year.
13:15The Pentagon's one of the most defended buildings in the world.
13:18There are automated anti-aircraft batteries located around the Pentagon.
13:23And if an airplane violates the restricted airspace over the Pentagon and is not broadcasting a friendly transponder signal,
13:32these batteries automatically open fire. Why did they not open fire on 9-11?
13:39That's called learning from mistakes.
13:41If 9-11 pointed anything out to us, it pointed out that we're very vulnerable to our own domestic air traffic.
13:47We had no mechanisms in place to defend ourselves against an attack by domestic airliners.
13:52We now do.
13:53I don't think it can happen again.
13:55They now have exclusion areas, so any plane that comes within that area is going to be picked up
13:59and there will be some kind of force applied to it if it's perceived to be a threat.
14:03But that was not the case on 9-11.
14:05The attacks of 9-11 were a monumental, colossal failure of our $400 billion defense system.
14:14But was anybody called on the carpet? Did anybody lose their job? Was anybody demoted? No.
14:22Which tells me everybody did exactly what they were ordered to do.
14:27If you just start with the simple question, qui bono, who benefited?
14:34Beneficiary number one was the Bush administration.
14:39They came very close to establishing a full-blown police state over the United States after 9-11.
14:46If it wasn't American Airlines Flight 77 that hit the Pentagon, what happened?
14:57Well, there were explosives set off in the Pentagon. Mind you, made to look as if there was an aircraft impact.
15:05There's absolutely no scientific evidence that a bomb was placed either inside the Pentagon or outside the Pentagon.
15:12You would find most of the windows would be blown out from the force of the explosion if that did not happen.
15:18And what are we to make of these myriad war game exercises we're told were going on in the days leading up to the day of 9-11?
15:29Most of our fighters were all up in Canada and the few that were left were directed out over the Atlantic Ocean.
15:34In fact, Central Command was conducting war game exercises the morning of 9-11.
15:40And one of their scenarios was a hijacked commercial airliner crashing into the World Trade Center tower.
15:47They didn't even know they were part of it.
15:49And if they suspected, they know better than to talk about it.
15:53So in other words, there's about two dozen of these.
15:56False images on the FAA's radar screens simulating a hijacked aircraft
16:02so that when there were four aircraft that actually were hijacked, they were confused.
16:07And the question becomes, how did the hijackers know how to coordinate their attack with these war game exercises?
16:14Or was it the other way around?
16:16You've talked to, I'm sure, many U.S. war veterans, people who served their country honorably.
16:22A few, yes.
16:23As have I.
16:24And this is a topic that is very, very sensitive and very difficult for them to discuss.
16:30For them to contemplate the idea that perhaps their brethren in various branches of the armed services
16:38may have been complicit in some way in this crime.
16:42What do you say to those retired and acting people in the service?
16:48Oh, yes.
16:49I've talked to some of them and they've told me things they know.
16:51But they say, look, I can't come out.
16:53I'm still in the forces.
16:55And I feel a bond, you know, a loyalty to my fellow officers.
17:01So that I'm willing to talk to you so long as you don't use my name.
17:05But, and I know I should speak out, but I can't.
17:08I can't yet.
17:09Having been in the military, I can assure you that in the military,
17:13the sheer path to success and promotion is just don't screw up.
17:20Mind your P's and Q's.
17:22Do what you're told.
17:23Carry out your orders efficiently, effectively.
17:25If you just start with the simple question, qui bono, who benefited?
17:30Beneficiary number one was the Bush administration.
17:35They came very close to establishing a full-blown police state over the United States after 9-1-1.
17:43Less than a week after the Kennedy assassination, Lyndon Johnson organized his infamous Warren Commission.
17:50And as bad a job as they did, at least they had an investigation quickly.
17:55Two years went by, almost, after 9-11, before President Bush was finally pressured into forming a group to study what had happened to the biggest terrorist attack in the history of the United States.
18:09The harder problem is what they're going to do next that will not be any of these things.
18:14And all you conspiracy theorists out there, you tell us what is going to happen next, because nobody knows.
18:20But you always seem to know after the fact.
18:22Why don't you do us a favor and tell us, before it happens, what your theory is.
18:27A 757, flight number 77, slammed into the Pentagon, killing everyone aboard the plane.
18:33There's absolutely no scientific evidence to support that anything else happened.
18:37How could a jumbo jet fly over the most defended airspace in the world and then hit one of the most defended buildings in the world without so much as an attempt to stop it?
18:48Why did U.S. air defenses unexplicably reverse standard operating procedures and fail to respond to hijacked jetliners?
18:57There were a half dozen or so training exercises in operation in the days leading up to and on the morning of 9-11.
19:05This could have meant that NORAD radar screens showed as many as 22 hijacked airliners at the same time.
19:12Does this mean that NORAD was briefed that the actual hijacked planes were part of the exercise drill and therefore normal reactive procedure was forestalled and delayed?
19:23And what about Hani Honjor, the supposed hijacker and pilot of Flight 77?
19:29He could barely fly a Cessna, but we're asked to believe that he was able to fly a Boeing 757 with the expertise of a fighter pilot.
19:36Make a 270 degree turn at 500 miles an hour, descending 7,000 feet in two and a half minutes.
19:43Skimming across treetops that last 500 meters before slamming into the west side of the Pentagon.
19:49And why no clear security camera footage of a plane hitting the Pentagon?
19:55The FBI seized no less than 84 separate video tapes from cameras dotted around the Pentagon area under national security
20:03and refuses to release them to this day, despite claiming that none of the tapes show Flight 77 hitting the Pentagon.
20:11Finally, we are asked to believe that 100 tons of steel and titanium alloy completely disintegrated.
20:19Yet, government forensic teams claim to have identified 180 plus bodies.
20:25Too many questions for me to rule out the possibility the attacks of 9-11 were orchestrated by some rogue element operating within the Western Intelligence military industrial complex.
20:37And now, I'd like to know what you think.
