"Closeup of
generator smashed in the front and gouged on the top - hard to
image a missile accomplishing both of these. But if the right engine
of a 757 hit the front of the generator, part of the wing could gouge
the top. At the very least, something very large, and very heavy
smashed into this extremely heavy desil generator."

"At that point, I
took the line and concentrated on getting out the fires on the outside
of the building," Dodge said. "There were two vehicles burning,
along with a construction trailer we didn't know at the time,
but
that trailer was the main producer of smoke on the outside of the
building and the foam truck [Myer's helipad crash unit]."
Dodge he had learned from the fire chief who responded to the the
Murrah Federal Building bombing that outside fires there prevented
emergency teams from getting to the heart of the building.
He said the foam units got there and concentrated on the area of
the construction trailer, which was producing some severe fires
and subsequent mini explosions due to highly flammable chemicals
in it, then on the actual point of impact from the hijacked
aircraft." -MDW News (10/04/01) |

According to some
researchers, the front end of the power generator was damaged when the starboard (right side) engine
of a Boeing 757 smashed through it after first knocking down a section of a
barbed wire fence and wooden deck in front of it and then the top of the generator was gouged by one of the
two outer flap track fairings underneath the plane's starboard wing... |

This graphic taken from
Eric
Bart's site, who I believe was the first person to bring
attention to the damaged power generator evidence, illustrates the distance between the starboard
engine and outside starboard flap track fairing. |

that Eric Bart does not believe that it was actually Flight 77
that crashed into
the Pentagon, but has come up with an alternate theory that
it may have been a drone Boeing 757 rigged with explosives (thus a
"plane bomb") that did...

that JP Desmoulins does believe that Flight 77 crashed into the
Pentagon, but believes that it too may have been
rigged with explosives and possibly flown via remote control...

"After examining the evidence, the
scenario Jean-Pierre now proposes as the most probable is that
American Airlines Flight 77, a Boeing 757 with around 60 people
onboard, crashed into the west aisle of the pentagon on 911.
Jean-Pierre believes that the plane was either piloted by hijacker,
Hani Hanjour, or it was remotely piloted with a technology like
Global Hawk, but has no facts to prove either hypotheses. He
speculates that some precise eye witnesses accounts, damage reports or
pictures inside the pentagon, along with the fact that pictures of
this crash have been hidden or faked, makes it highly probable that
this plane had been loaded with a warhead, like an anti-bunker hollow
charge, a depleted uranium "penetrator, or a "broach" technology
bomb, which is the combination of both." -

over, some are sheered off at the top, yet the pole and fence portion
on the left is untouched (obviously the right engine took out the
fence to the right of those poles) and the entire back side of the
fence has been torn away. The generator was hit by the right wing
and engine before the 757 hit the building..."

|
It is also
been pointed out that the power generator's front end was knocked towards the
Pentagon and the generator then rested approx. 45 deg from the fence line
that would be consistent with being hit by a very heavy and fast moving
object such as a Boeing 757's engine... |

"...the large desil generator which is
visibly damaged, and actually spun ~45 degrees from the impact! Most
importantly it is spun ~45 degrees towards the building
- if this was a missile or a bomb, the explosion could ONLY have spun
it away from the building." -

This photo shows the broken barbed wire fence

The above enhanced photo was taken from
Brad's
9/11 site which shows that the power generator at the Pentagon has
three rear wheels. |

The above photo
is an
Enercon Containerized Rental Generator that
has been flipped horizontally for comparison, but be aware the it
is not the same type of generator as the one at the
Pentagon which has three rear wheels instead of two shown in this
photo. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
So is the evidence
overwhelming that the starboard engine from a Boeing 757 sliced through the
barbed wire fence and wooden deck before smashing through the upper front portside section
of this power generator and one of the plane's two outer flap track fairings
underneath it's starboard wing gouged the generator's top? |

Let's take a closer
look... |
|
|
|
|
|
To me, the height of the
barbed wire fence (light blue dotted line) looks slightly lower (or at most
the same height) than the middle of the power generator's body (purple
dotted line) even when you envision how level the generator would be before
it was knock off it's front stilts*: |
|
|
|

*The
light blue dotted
line shows the top of the barbed wire fence. The
purple
dash line marks the middle of the power generator's body.
Remember that this power generator was, in all probability, standing
upright on it's front stilts and relatively level with the fence line
before being hit. The middle line should be at it's level point
above the middle of the three rear wheels of the generator since you
can see that the rear of the generator has been
propped up a bit because the front end was knocked off it's
stilts.

|
|
Now remember that the
Boeing 757's starboard engine was said to have sliced through a section of
the barbed wire fence and wooden deck before smashing through the power
generator's upper front portside section: |
|
|
|

Photo with visual aids taken from
JP Desmoulins' site illustrates where he believes the plane's
engine sliced through the barbed wire fence and wooden deck before smashing the upper
front portside section of the generator. (See HiRes
pic of right photo of the generator. ) |

right engine took out the chainlink fence and posts

So when we extend the
middle line to the front of the power generator's body, you'll notice that
it's upper front portside section that was damaged is above this middle
line: |
|
|
|

The purple
dotted line marks the generator's middle which shows the
damage to it's front end is above it. (Photo source:
defenselink.mil [HiRes]) |
|
|
|
|
|
So if my measurements are
correct, how in the world
could a Boeing 757's starboard engine slice through any part of the barbed
wire fence, smash through the floor of the wooden deck, and then smash through the power generator's upper front portside section
if the damaged section is above the generator's middle line therefore being
above the fence line? Wouldn't the plane's
starboard engine have flown over and missed hitting the fence? |
|
|
|

Notice how the
generator's damage is above the middle of it's body marked by the
purple dotted line. (Photo source:
defendamerica.mil) |

The
purple dotted line marks the
middle of the generator's body. The
light blue dotted line marks the fence line
coming from behind the generator which is lower than the
generator's middle. The
maroon dotted line marks the generator's damaged
front section which is above both the fence line and the
generator's middle. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that there are two
downed fence posts broken off at their base. If an engine was coming
in at over 500 mph and did sliced through this section to hit the top of the
power generator, wouldn't it have only sliced through the top of the fence
and shouldn't it have sliced off only the tops of the lightweight
posts that hold the barbwire strands and not the two thicker fence posts at
their base? |
|
|
|

Note that the top of the fence are
three thin strands of barbwire supported by lighter angled posts.
Also note that the two heavy fence posts have broken off at ground
level. (Photo source expired at:

|
|
One more twist to the
engine, as mentioned above, some researchers think Flight 77's right engine
is what hit and spun the heavy generator 45 deg towards the Pentagon.
However, the NIST's Pentagon Building Performance Report says that it was
only the plane's right wing that struck the generator and not it's
right engine: |

importantly

Closeup of

"3.2 EYEWITNESS INTERVIEWS
The aircraft pulled up, seemingly
aiming for the first floor of the building, and leveled off.
Probst hit the ground and observed the
right wing tip pass through the portable 750 kW generator
that provides backup power to Wedge 1. The right engine took
out the chainlink fence and posts surrounding the generator.
The plane approached low, flying
directly over him and possibly clipping the antenna of the vehicle
immediately behind him, and struck three light poles between him
and the building. He saw his colleague Frank Probst directly in
the planes path, and he witnessed a small explosion as the
portable generator was struck by the right wing.
6.1 IMPACT DAMAGE
In any event, the evidence suggests
that the tips of both wings did not make direct contact with the
facade of the building and that portions of the wings might have
been separated from the fuselage before the aircraft struck the
building. This is consistent with eyewitness statements that
the right wing struck a large generator
before the aircraft struck the building and that the left engine
struck a ground-level, external vent structure." -

Now, notice how the wings
of a Boeing 757 angle slightly upwards when the plane is level to the
ground: |
|
|
|

(Graphic taken from
Eric
Bart's site.) |
|
|
|
|
|
With that being known, how
could any of the plane's two outer starboard flap track fairings gouge the
top of the power generator if this plane came in relatively level? |
|
|
|

Also note that if this plane was coming
down very fast at an angle as if it were coming in for a landing (regardless if
it's nose were up or down) the air pressure underneath it's wings
would flex the plane's wings even more upwards. (Pic of truck generator taken from
jobsite-generators.com) |
|
|
|
|
|
But what's interesting is
it was reported by witnesses and is also the "official version" that this
Boeing 757 was tilting slightly to it's left before it crashed into the
Pentagon... |
|
|
|

it's left as it hits the Pentagon. |

The above pic
taken from
JP Desmoulins' site illustrates his belief at what angle the
Boeing 757's starboard wing impacted the Pentagon's wall. |

"The
right engine hit high, the left engine hit low,"
Sepulveda said. -Air Force |

|
|
So if the Boeing 757 was
tilting to it's left before it crashed into the Pentagon, how could one of it's starboard flap track fairings gouge the top of the
power generator
if it couldn't even do that if the plane was level? |
|
|
|

I added the picture of a power generator
and highlighted the starboard wing in yellow for visual aids. |
Note that even Eric Bart
doesn't think a Boeing 757's starboard flap track fairing could have
gouged the top of the generator...
►
"The right engine
may have struck the front of the generator while the "flap track
'canoe' fairing" was cutting the rear...
Was it a Boeing 757-200? On looking at the next diagram I doubt that
this flap fairing was responsible for the gouge. It's believed that the plane was banking left and the other flap fairing seems too close.
Maybe it was another plane. Hard to say, still some work to be done."

Eric Bart, it was a plane
bomb |
|

|
|
|
On the photo to the left taken from an aerial shot, doesn't the rear gouge
into the roof seem relatively deep and the beginning of the gouge in upper
portside facade seems crushed in pretty good, yet on the photo to the right
taken from the ground, doesn't the beginning of the gouge look like it's
just a relatively small dent? |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
So that leaves us with the
inevitable question: What could have knocked down the barbed
wire fence, smashed through the floor of the wooden deck, smashed through
the upper front portside section of the power generator, and the gouged the
generators top? |
| |
|

|
|
|
|
Is this the trajectory of
whatever smashed through the fence? |
|
|
|
 |
Notice that the
trajectory (yellow
dotted line) lines up perfectly going through the
fence hole (between light
blue lines) to the only spot on the facade where something
impacted it very hard (red circle) in
which building rubble is seen piled below it.
