Creative Speculation

(46 posts)... you know, giant airplane zooming in from the sky, flying terrifyingly close overhead, smashing directly into (not just any building, but) the Pentagon, giant fireball, many people dead & injured, unprecedented terrorist attacks on our country, etc. etc. etc., and shocked realization "Oh s**t, I'm not dead, I'm not dead...", some white smoke trailing from a wing or engine sank below the threshold of either notice at the time or reporting later.
Perhaps people dove for cover, flinched or averted their eyes from an impending horrible event. People focus on bizarre, trivial things during fearful events.
Or perhaps it was reported, and the intermediaries - the press - didn't think it was sufficiently significant.
Perhaps it was reported by eyewitnesses, reported in the press, & you (& I) simply missed it.
Who knows which is true? Who cares?
Apparently, you do.
Once again, there is no doubt that a trail of smoke followed the plane. There is no doubt that AA77 hit the Pentagon.
I've put in a bit of thought & time into answering a couple of your questions now, & gotten nothing but petulance for my effort. Could you please do me the courtesy of explaining what, in your estimation, changes in the big picture based upon this issue?
