The Pentagon one is especially mind-boggling as it needed such a long run-in at nearly ground level. Who was doing such a good job at compensating for wind direction on that one?
It wasn't windy that morning at the Pentagon..............I was on the roof of my building 5 minutes after that happened that morning 1/2 mile away ( I can see the pentagon from there). and there was no wind.
