It was primarily conducted by two men named Craig Ranke > and Aldo Marquis, also known as Citizen Investigation Team, or CIT. > > > ³There were a growing number of people in the United States and around the > world who were suspicious of the government¹s story about what had happened > at the Pentagon that day,² Ranke explains. ³The doubts were initially fueled > by the dubious damage to the building, which seemed incompatible with a 757 > crash, the deliberate lack of transparency by the authorities, and many other > issues, but they really intensified after a team of professional pilots > (Pilots for 9/11 Truth) analyzed the data obtained from the National > Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) via a Freedom of Information Act request > in 2006, which was supposedly from the black box of American Airlines Flight > 77, and found that the last reported altitude of the plane was far too high > to have struck the light poles or the building. This meant that either the > plane did not cause the observed physical damage, that the government had > released fraudulent data, or both.² > > ³We were tired of the cover-up, but we were also frustrated with the dead-end > theorizing that was taking place², says Marquis of the project¹s genesis. ³We > knew that the only way we were ever going to know what had really happened > was if we actually went to the area, knocked on doors, and interviewed > everyday people about what they saw.² > > When these eyewitness accounts are aggregated, they paint a very disturbing > picture, say the researchers. > > ³To put it as concisely as possible, the plane had to have flown on a very > specific flight path in the final seconds before it reached the Pentagon in > order to have caused the observed damage, starting with the light poles that > were photographed on the ground and ending with the directional damage to the > building itself which was outlined in detail by the American Society of Civil > Engineers,² explains Ranke. ³The government claims the plane flew on this > flight path and hit the building. The eyewitnesses in all of the most > critical vantage points, on the other hand, independently, unanimously, and > unequivocally report a drastically different flight path, proving that the > plane absolutely could not have hit the light poles or the building.
