It is striking that there is neither video footage nor any photographic evidence in the public domain showing a jetliner approaching or crashing into the Pentagon. As of May, 2006, the only video footage of the crash that has been released are clips from two Pentagon security cameras north of the crash site, one the source of 5 frames leaked in 2002. With the release of the two video clips, the Pentagon claims to have supplied all of the footage it has of the attack. Although the number and positions of security cameras monitoring the Pentagon is not public knowledge, it seems unlikely that only two security cameras captured the attack. Isn't it reasonable to assume that there were dozens, if not hundreds, of security cameras ringing the huge building that is the heart of the United States military establishment? Not only has the government refused to release footage that would clearly show how the Pentagon was attacked, it has also seized footage not belonging to the military. The FBI confiscated video recordings from several private businesses near the Pentagon in the immediate aftermath of the attack. Those recordings, if they still exist, might provide decisive evidence about the attack. We know that videos of the Pentagon attack were taken by security cameras on the roof of a nearby Sheraton Hotel and a gas station, both of which had a clear sight-line to the side of the Pentagon that was hit. These tapes were confiscated by the FBI within minutes of the attack. According to a Washington Times news report that has been removed from the Web (still available on the “Wayback Machine” search engine), hotel employees had time enough to watch “the film in shock and horror several times before the FBI confiscated the video as part of its investigation.” As for the gas station, which is “open only to Defense Department personnel,” it is “the last structure between the Pentagon and the hillside that, hours later, would become a wailing knoll.” Its owner was interviewed by the Richmond Times-Dispatch in December 2001: Velasquez says the gas station’s security cameras are close enough to the Pentagon to have recorded the moment of impact. “I’ve never seen what the pictures looked like,” he said. “The FBI was here within minutes and took the film.” (Article archived at nationalgeographic.com) The swift confiscations are suspicious; the agents were obviously dispatched to grab the videos immediately after the Pentagon was struck. Bizarrely, the only purported live record of the attack ever released seems to support the “No-Boeing” hypothesis. An unknown source at the Pentagon provided CNN with five video stills said to be from a Pentagon parking-lot camera. The images show a blurry white object, impossible to define, moving in the background before the explosion; a video-timestamp of “9/12/01” indicates a second-generation copy and possible tampering. When CNN first broadcast these frames in March 2002, its reporter once again noted the existence of the hotel video: MCINTYRE: Well, the claim – we have filed a freedom of information request for it. They claim that it might provide some intelligence to somebody else who might want to do harm to the United States. But officials I talked to here at the Pentagon say they don’t see any national security or criminal value to that tape. The FBI tends to hold on to things. Videos Outside the Pentagon Seized
The Sheraton National Hotel may be the hotel from which the FBI seized a CCTV recording.

Aha! So the FBI suppressed video footage which would have shown it wasn't a 757 which struck the Pentagon but … what? What makes anyone think that it wasn't American Airlines Flight 77 with 64 people on board?
Just release the numerous confiscated videos...we'll all take a look and let you know what we think.
What do you think is on those videos?
Just release the numerous confiscated videos...we'll all take a look and let you know what we think. It was way back in 2003 as I remember that you CT freaks demanded the release of video showing what happened to the Pentagon. “Why aren’t they available”, was your pathetic CT freakish cry. You CT freaks asked then, where are the “secret videos” as you said: "surely that would clear everything up? What do they have to hide?" Well, lo and behold, the “amazingly revealing” Pentagon security camera footage was preleased during the Moussaoui trial. And wait – wait – it of course cleared up nothing at all for you CT freaks. It is to be noted that the Doubletree and Citgo footage also followed, but – alas – they too didn’t show the impact site. That should have been the end of the story – Right? But it was not because here comes along yet another CT Freak claiming there far more videos that are still being suppressed. Pathetic … There moral of the story here is that if CT freaks can’t see in all released videos what they want to see – then they become “the voice of one crying out in the wilderness” to say: Hand Salute,
We know that videos of the Pentagon attack were taken by security cameras on the roof of a nearby Sheraton Hotel and a gas station, both of which had a clear sight-line to the side of the Pentagon that was hit. These tapes were confiscated by the FBI within minutes of the attack. I'd like to see these videos. Have they been released yet?
Just want more investigation into an event that changed our nation forever. Anyone who asks questions is a ct freak. Why, Gatlin? Please explain why I'm a ct freak.
10 years ago. No videotapes were located from the Sheraton Hotel but there was one from the Doubletree Hotel.
Thank you, misterwhite. I had forgotten about these. But where IS the Sheraton footage? Has it disappeared?
According to testimony from FBI Special Agent Jacqueline Maguire, there never was any Sheraton Hotel footage. The footage was from the Doubletree Hotel. https://www.metabunk.org/attachments/doubletreeaffadavit-pdf.3181/
I can understand the quest for information. I too chase the truth, albeit sometimes hard to find. I chose to use “Gatlin” as my screen name to pay homage and give special honor, to the M61 Vulcan electrically-driven, six-barrel, air-cooled, electrically fired Gatling-style rotary cannon which fired 20 mm rounds at an extremely high rate (typically 6,000 rounds per minute I controlled in the tail of the B-58 Hustler Supersonic Bomber for 10 years and fired on training missions. And it was also the one I controlled, along with others, in the AC-130 Gunship during my tour in SE Asia. I enjoy reading your posts … Hand Salute,
I appreciate your reply. I smiled at your first use of ct freak directed at me. You know you have "arrived" on the forum when Gatlin calls you a ct freak. It's an honor!
: )
As featured in the movie Fail Safe. I had the poly-plastic toy when I was a kid. Never could get that pitot tube straight.
Life was much simpler before CCTV's, digital cameras, video surveillance, etc. Back then the CTers were limited to UFO freaks. Now if there isn't video it didn't happen.
I was in one of those B-58s for the Minimum Interval Take Off (MITO) night scene in the movie. We did not do it for the movie, the movie makers simply took some stock AF film and used it. I have no idea which one it was in the movie. The pitot tube was the primary airspeed indicator and also the high frequency radio antenna. It stuck out that far in front of the nose because of the disrupted airflow at speeds above Mach One over the fuselage would have caused erroneous readings. Among the many other duties, I was the HF radio and it was in my cockpit. Our Nav was a HAM operator and I would set HAM frequencies in for him to transmit from his station. He would talk to HAM operators on the ground all over the world so they could fill out some kind of a “contact card” with his HAM call sign to show they had talked to some flying over 1350 MPH. The movie is untrue with respect to the inflight scenes. The 3 of us had 3 separate cockpits with access to each other only by a close line pully system where we could exchange our copies of the go code for verification. So much for modern technology, Eh? The inflight scenes were don in a side-by-side flight trainer simulator I believe someplace in NJ, as I recall. We had a mass bad weather divert to Schilling AFB Kansas where all crew members went to see the movie for its first showing there. Every one knew we were there and many of us had friends stationed there. We gave a number of personalized tours to friends and friends of friends. All the B-58 crew members had a reserved section in the center of the theater. We had to stay together for instant recall when the weather at our home base of Grissom cleared. When the movie was over, the crowd started slowly standing up and applauding while waiting for us to leave first. That was cause for a real good feeling – to be appreciated by your peers and their families. Probably much more information here than you wanted – I just started reminiscing … I flew in the last B-58 delivered to the Davis Monthan AFB grave yard … Cue the USAF song here … Hand Salute,
Now if there isn't video it didn't happen. Or someone “could” chop the video and start showing it at a place to make you think something happened other than what actually happened. I said “could” since that probably has never happened - Eh? Hand Salute,

What – WHAT – “numerous confiscated videos” haven’t y’all already taken a look at? Just release the numerous confiscated videos...we'll all take a look and let you know what we think.

Please, the smart quips and names I used are never meant to a personal insult and neither I do not mean any disrespect. I laugh at the names I am sometimes called, like when Stone referred to me a “geezer” today.
