Somebody who claims to be from inside the Pentagon is saying an F16 shot down the airliner that crashed in Pennsylvania. Are there news reports of this?
Also that a number of generals were killed in the Pentagon. Any news of this?
There are a *lot* of generals in the Pentagon. Any attack that takes out hundreds of linear feet of the building is likely to kill some. As for the F16, could be disinformation. The Pittsburgh newspapers quote lots of eyewitnesses, but no mention of a missile: http://www.post-gazette.com/headlines/20010912somerscenenat4p3.asp Also, if you were a pilot held hostage and wanted to crash the plane somewhere, farmland that's a former coal mine would be a good bet. -Declan
