http://z10.invisionfree.com/Loose_Change_Forum/index.php?showtopic=13068 There is a very interesting inconsistency being considered on the thread above.

Another Pentagon employee, a 37-year-old Marine major, said he was at a meeting in the innermost A Ring when he heard a thud and felt the building shudder. He and his colleagues rushed to help rescue people from an area that appeared most heavily damaged, the B Ring between corridors 4 and 5.

A 38-year-old Marine major who asked to remain anonymous said he and dozens of his colleagues rushed to the area in the Pentagon that appeared most heavily damaged -- the B ring between the 4th and 5th corridors.
"From two-star army generals to marine officers to navy medics ... everybody helped," he said.
He said he was part of a make-shift rescue crew that tried to pulled out a civilian who was pinned by fallen pipes and other debris. As the hot, thick, black smoke built up, the men passed wet t-shirts to one another and removed debris piece-by-piece in assembly-line fashion.
"It took 30 men, 30 minutes to get just that one guy to the door 15 feet away," he said, adding that the man was cut and bruised but not seriously injured.
The major said that hundreds of people worked in the B-ring area and that it was "decimated ... that heat and fire, it could eat you alive in three seconds."
My comments:
Since it would have been physically impossible for Flight 77 to cause this reported damage to the B ring, the questions that need answering are:
Was there in fact significant damage to the B ring?
If there was, what caused the damage?
