- And here is the famous piece of airplane skin that the
world erroneously believes to is a piece of Flight 77 American Airlines
Boeing 757-223 serial number N644AA and a proof that that plane crashed
into the Pentagon.
-
-
-
-
- This piece of the skin of a Boeing 757 is lying on the
grass north of the where something hit the Pentagon's west wall.
-
- Here is the problem: The piece comes from the starboard
side, not the port side, of a 757, while the starboard side of whatever
hit the Pentagon faced south, not north. Also the wind was blowing from
the northwest and would not carry this piece in a northwest direction.
Second, the shape and lightness of the object would make travelling that
distance from the wreck as difficult as throwing an open page of a newspaper
across your living room.
-
- First let us confirm that this piece is from the starboard
side (i.e. the right side when you are aboard ship and facing the bow)
and could not possibly have come from the port side.
-
-
-
-
- The rivets and the portion of lettering establish that
this is the a piece of the letter "n" in "American"
painted on the starboard side of the plane.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- The reason we know that this piece is the "n"
from "American" on the starboard side, rather than the "n"
from "American" on the port side is that the expanse of unpainted
aluminum to the right of the "n" which contains the rivets is
only found on the starboard side.
- On the Port side there is a passenger loading door that
follows almost immediately to the right of the "n".
-
- On the starboard side the "n" is followed by
bare aluminum and with the two rows of rivets. The door is well to the
right of the "n."
- See below:
-
-
-
-
- Here is Flight 77 N644AA at Reagan National Airport:
-
-
-
-
-
-
- But on the port side of the AA 757-2 the passenger loading
door is right "next" to the "n" with no expanse of
bare aluminum with rivets in between. See here:
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Port side does not have two rows of rivets to the right
of the "n." There is no long space of bare aluminum between
letter and door.
-
- THE EXTRA STRETCH OF BARE ALUMINUM FOLLOWING THE LETTER
"n" ONLY IS FOUND ON THE STARBOARD SIDE OF AA BOEING 757-223s
-
-
-
-
-
- Conclusion: The piece was planted. It is one of a very
small number of recognizable Am Air 757 fragments photographed that morning.
The only one carried by the newspapers and according to some observers
who missed these other pieces the only recognizable 757 piece visible
on the lawn. This piece made the cover of newsweek.

-
- Dear Mr. Eastman,
-
- I hate to disappoint anyone, but here is the story behind
the photograph. At the time, I was a senior writer with Navy Times newspaper.
It is an independent weekly that is owned by the Gannett Corporation (same
owners as USA Today).
-
- I was at the Navy Annex, up the hill from the Pentagon
when I heard the explosion. I always keep a digital camera in my backpack
briefcase just as a matter of habit. When the explosion happened I ran
down the hill to the site and arrived there approximately 10 minutes after
the explosion. I saw the piece, that was near the heliport pad and had
to work around to get a shot if it with the building in the background.
Because the situation was still fluid, I was able to get in close and make
that image within fifteen minutes of the explosion because security had
yet to shut off the area. I photographed it twice, with the newly arrived
fire trucks pouring water into the building in the background.
-
- The collapse of the building above area happened long
after I left the scene. I was not even aware that that had happened until
that evening when I watched the news. My photos were on the wire by noon.
-
- That was the only piece of wreckage of any SIZE that
I saw, but was by no means the ONLY piece. Right after photographing that
piece of wreckage, I also photographed a triage area where medical personnel
were tending to a seriously burned man. A priest knelt in the middle of
the area and started to pray. I took that image and left immediately.
-
- As I stepped onto the highway next to the triage area,
I knelt down to tie my shoe and all over the highway were small pieces
of aircraft skin, none bigger than a half-dollar. Anyone familiar with
aircraft has seen the greenish primer paint that covers many interior metal
surfaces - that is what these shards were covered with.
-
- I was out of the immediate area photographing other things
within 20 minutes of the crash.
-
- In short, I was there so quickly after the explosion
[10 minutes after] that there was not time for anyone to "plant"
this piece of wreckage and it would have been impossible for anyone to
plant the thousands of shards on the highway without being noticed by myself
or others.
-
- Sincerely,
- Mark D. Faram
-
-
- Here is the comment I made at the time:
-
- comment: Mr. Faram indicates that he arrived 10 minutes
after the crash. I think that is plenty time for one of the many FBI
agents who were immediately on the scene picking up debris to have also
put down this particular piece. I also think that had the plane been
AA Flight 77 then some of the pieces would have been of the polished aluminum
of the outer skin as well as the greenish undercoating that is sprayed
on the inside of the skin. And certainly there is no reason for there
only to be small shards when an airliner crashes into an office building
-- the small shards are in fact the missile that was blown to smithereens
when fired from the attacking jet -- the explosion being shown in the
second picture of the series of five that have been released that were
taken by the security camera north of the attack. Mr. Faram is being
honest and sincere, but he simply had not put things together yet at
the time of his writing.
-
- Clearly the piece -- the only obvious AA 757 piece,
was planted, by mistake, on the lawn on the wrong side of the crash.
-
- Dick Eastman
- Yakima, Washington
-
-
-
- It was only shortly after this that Mr. Faram was caught
in a contradiction between what he told reporters and what he wrote above
to this investigating citizen. The following is from Steven Warran http://stevenwarran.blogspot.com/2006/03/father-stephen-
mcgraw-mark-faram-ties_23.html
-
- Father McGraw was also an eyewitness to the 757 attack,
having taken a wrong turn on his way to a funeral at Arlington Cemetery,
he got stuck in traffic outside the Pentagon. In an interview with the
Military District of Washington News Service, he put it this way: "The
traffic was very slow moving, and at one point just about at a standstill.
I was in the left hand lane with my windows closed. I did not hear anything
at all until the plane was just right above our cars. The plane clipped
the top of a light pole just before it got to us, injuring a taxi driver,
whose taxi was just a few feet away from my car.
-
- "I saw it crash into the building. My only memories
really were that it looked like a plane coming in for a landing. I mean
in the sense that it was controlled and sort of straight. That was my
impression. I hadn't heard about the World Trade Center at that point,
and so I was thinking this was an accident. I figured it was just an accident.
- "There was an explosion and a loud noise and I felt
the impact. I remember seeing a fireball come out of two windows. I saw
an explosion of fire billowing through those two windows. I remember
hearing a gasp or scream from one of the other cars near me. Almost a
collective gasp it seemed. I just knew right away what I needed to do."
Mark Faram, who witnessed Father McGraw in the first moments after the
crash, was reported in the same article as saying, "He literally
had the stole in one hand and a prayer book in the other and in one fluid
motion crossed the guardrail." The article goes on, "Within
45 seconds, McGraw was on the lawn of the Pentagon to provide spiritual
comfort to the injured."
-
- However, in an email reply to Dick Eastman, who led a
forum on Yahoo discussing Pentagon conspiracy theories, athttp:// groups.yahoo.com/group/frameup/message/1254
(The discussion was about another infamous image of Faram's, showing the
one shiny, unburnt bread-box-sized piece of fuselage painted in American
Airlines livery, posed lying on the verdant green lawn.)
-
- Faram wrote Eastman: "I hate to disappoint anyone,
but here is the story behind the photograph..I was at the Navy Annex,
up the hill from the Pentagon when I heard the explosion. I always keep
a digital camera in my backpack briefcase just as a matter of habit.
When the explosion happened I ran down the hill to the site and arrived

- Mark Faram's "stole and prayer book/fluid motion
over the guardrail" quote is just too colorful to pass off as the
reporter's fancy, even though the author, Paul Haring, is identified
as a "staff photographer for the Fort Myer Military Community's Pentagram
newspaper," so, in typically convoluted military fashion, the reporter
is taking the pictures and the photographer is doing the writing.
