A Dozen Questions About Flight 77 and the Pentagon That Might Lead to
Justice, and One That Won’t
by Kevin Ryan
There are many questions to be answered about the events at the
Pentagon on September 11, 2001. Here are a dozen such questions that, if
answered, might help to bring about justice.
1. Exactly how was Flight 77 hijacked, considering, among other things, that the
alleged hijackers were said to be identified as security risks (possibly linked
to al Qaeda) when they tried to board, and were not physically imposing (all 5
and a half feet tall or less, and slender in build)?[1]
2. How was the nation’s air defense system disabled on 9/11, and how could
anything have hit the Pentagon approximately 80 minutes after the first plane
was known to be hijacked?
3. Why was Dick Cheney tracking Flight 77?[2]
4. Why were explosive experts, who had a history of covering-up the OKC bombing
and have since been accused of obstructing other investigations, hired to write
the FEMA report? (Mete Sozen and Paul Mlakar).[3],[4]
5. Why did the roof of the Pentagon collapse 30 minutes after impact, giving
additional evidence for the use of explosives? Note: The use of explosives at
the Pentagon seems to be in agreement with the use of a large plane, which would
have had little penetrating power.
6. Why was AMEC, the company that had just finished refurbishing Wedge 1 of the
Pentagon, hired to lead the clean-up effort at Ground Zero?[5]
7. Why did the NTSB not make public reports on any of the planes as is the
normal procedure?[6]
8. Why did none of the planes squawk the hijack code?
9. Why was the official explanation for alleged phone calls made by Flight 77
passenger Barbara Olsen changed several times, and ultimately how could Ted
Olsen’s story make any sense?[7]
10. Why did high-ranking Pentagon officials cancel travel plans for the morning
of September 11 “…apparently because of security concerns.”?[8]
11. How could Hani Hanjour still have successfully piloted Flight 77 given his
poor qualifications?[9]
12. Why are those interested in The Pentagon not intently reviewing documents
released by the FAA and 9/11 Commission that reveal startling questions about
the aircraft and events of that day?[10]
Why are these questions NOT being pursued by independent investigators? That’s
because the attention of many potential investigators has been hijacked by the
much less useful question of “What hit the Pentagon.” This is certainly the
favorite subject of intentional disruptors and official story supporters.

clear that Dick Cheney was tracking Flight 77 while it was more than 50 miles
away from Washington DC.
