2) We often get confused on the timeline of events. At the time the Pengtagon was hit, over 500 planes remained in the air and unaccounted for. The government simply had no more of indication that the Pentagon was in danger than they did that a plane would strike the downtown area of a major city. In fact, as the Pentagon was hit, jet planes were moving towards all of the major cities in the east coast. https://www.wanttoknow.info/011016nytimes
3) Actually, had the hijackers wanted to do the most damage, they would have brought the jet down on top of the Pentagon. Many theorize that was their plane.
I am not aware of any concrete evidence of explosives in the Trade Towers.
To answer these points:
1.) Good point, but did you know that there are 158 cameras that are focused on the Pentagon at all times? Of the 158, roughly 80 of them would have had a clear view of Flight 77 crashing into the building. Yet the government has released 4 of the 80 tapes, and none of the 4 show Flight 77, or any aircraft for that matter.
2.) Absolutely, simply, 100% FALSE. Norman Mineta was with the Vice President Dick Cheney at the time Flight 77 was heading towards the Pentagon. Mineta discribes the VP's actions as Flight 77 was approaching.
"100 miles out. 50 miles out. 20 miles out. Do the orders still stand?" Cheney's aid says.
"Of course they still stand! Have you heard anything different?"
This is very clear evidence that the VP and the rest of our government knew exactly where Flight 77 was going, and could have stopped it very easily.
3.) You are 100% correct here. And this is just more evidence that it was planned. The area of the Pentagon that was hit was the only area of the Pentagon that was reinforced to be able to withstand an impact of a high velocity aircraft and/or missile.
