Apologies if it's inconvenient, but I've turned off hotlinking for several file types (it was just getting abused too much).

I can selectively turn it back on again for particular domains, though, so if this is a major problem for you & you think there's good reason for me to relent in your particular case then you can always email me - mike@911myths.com - to explain, and if I agree then I'll renable it for your site.


24th February 2012

The Pentagon's pre-9/11 exercises regarding plane crashes are still occasionally mentioned as suspicious, despite the building's close proximity to a major airport, so I was interested to read this in an interview with John Jester, chief of the Pentagon's Defence Protective Service:

Rochester: Had you prepared or practiced for an emergency or anything on this scale or this type?

Jester: We had always thought about a plane hitting the Pentagon.

Goldberg: Hitting the Pentagon or bombing it?

Jester: No. Actually hitting the Pentagon, because we are in the flight path of National.

Goldberg: And how.

Jester: So the short runway—the one that is used by commuter aircraft—it's running along with the river. We actually had a command post exercise last year.

We had a model of the Pentagon. A guy from Pennsylvania came down who does this kind work, and he basically puts you through the paces like it is a real event—what would you do in the event? He actually had a toy helicopter and a plane. He had pieces of a plane falling in the parking lot. It was more from an accidental problem, which could cause a great deal of problems. The worst case would be a plane taking off because it would have more fuel. But the planes that go over the river are commuter aircraft, and there are more commuter aircraft crashing than larger airliners. I know, since my son is a commercial pilot. The young pilots fly the commuter aircraft first and work their way up.

Not that it'll make any difference, of course... But I've added it to the relevant pages anyway.
