Is
this a picture of the hole in the Pentagon caused when Flight 77 crashed into it on September 11, 2001? How about
this? No, but notice the damage caused to the building and the size of the hole and compare it to this
picture of the damage to the Pentagon before the Pentagon wall collapsed. The two mystery pictures are from a
series of pictures of the 'accidental' attack by NATO on the Chinese embassy in Belgrade on May 8, 1999 (see also this
picture from this
set). That attack was by three Tomahawk Cruise Missiles, all of which hit the
same corner of the building just above ground level. As was the case with the Pentagon, most of the extensive damage to the building was caused by the subsequent fire. Note also the size and neatness of the hole left by a cruise missile attack on Milosevic's official
residence (from a series of photos
here). I have
already made the same point with respect to the 'accidental' cruise missile attack on the Al Rashid Hotel in Baghdad. Anyone who is really interested might want to try to compare the oddly small (in diameter) debris
in pictures of the Pentagon with
pictures of
pieces of cruise missiles found in Serbia (in the Pentagon pictures, click on 'Download high-resolution image' to obtain more detail).
