Cytat
Do celu tam się wysiada. Lec Stanisław Jerzy (pierw. de Tusch-Letz, 1909-1966)
A bogowie grają w kości i nie pytają wcale czy chcesz przyłączyć się do gry (. . . ) Bogowie kpią sobie z twojego poukładanego życia (. . . ) nie przejmują się zbytnio ani naszymi planami na przyszłość ani oczekiwaniami. Gdzieś we wszechświecie rzucają kości i przypadkiem wypada twoja kolej. I odtąd zwyciężyć lub przegrać - to tylko kwestia szczęścia. Borys Pasternak
Idąc po kurzych jajach nie podskakuj. Przysłowie szkockie
I Herkules nie poradzi przeciwko wielu.
Dialog półinteligentów równa się monologowi ćwierćinteligenta. Stanisław Jerzy Lec (pierw. de Tusch - Letz, 1909-1966)

.Five terrorists seized American Airlines Flight 77 as it traveled from DullesInternational Airport (outside Washington, D.C.) to Los Angeles, California.Instead, they crashed it into the Pentagon.The five hijackers Hani Hanjour,Nawaf al-Hazmi, Salem al-Hazmi, Khalid al-Mihdhar, and Majed Moqued hadlittle trouble passing through the Dulles checkpoint with weapons, which theysubsequently used to take over the aircraft.Once seated in the first-class section,they seized control of the aircraft shortly after takeoff.As air traffic controllers atDulles tried to regain contact with the airliner, the hijackers redirected the aircrafttoward the Washington, D.C., area.A request was made to a U.S.Air Force trans-port for a visual sighting, and the pilot replied that he had the airliner in sight.Anair traffic controller asked the C-130 pilot, Lt.Col.Steve O Brien, to monitor theairliner.He reported that the airliner was moving low and fast, and then hewatched it crash into the west side of the Pentagon.The flight hit at first-floor leveland penetrated three of the fiverings of that section of theFirst Minutes at the PentagonPentagon.The personnel at the PentagonIt felt like a train was going underneath us.There was ahad no warning of the approach- series of explosions, or at least noises that sounded likeexplosions.While the plane was skidding across the firsting aircraft.Many of thefloor, it was knocking out the support columns, whichPentagon workers were watch-made explosion-like sounds.Any time a column wenting news footage on TV of thedown, that opened a hole in the floor, which offered aattacks on the World Tradegateway for the ball of fire to go through.We lost 22Center complex.Several of thecoworkers in our area because of that.It was basically onesurvivors remarked later howfireball, but it was like an octopus with tentacles, reachingthey talked about how vulnera-for any avenue of approach, as we call it in the military.ble the Pentagon was to a simi-The aircraft had 20,000 gallons of fuel, so the fireball waslar type of attack.Suddenlypowerful.We all recognize in our area, those of us whothere was a tremendous explo-worked on the second floor, that we are fortunate to besion.Those not killed or injured alive.It was by the grace of God that we survived.If ithadn t been for the extra precautions they took, like thein the original explosion had toblast-proof window and coating the floors with Teflon-face fire and reduced visibilitylike material, more would have died, including me.from the smoke.Most of thoseworking in the Pentagon wereTestimony of Army Lt.Col.Victor Correa, quoted in Dean E.evacuated, but those trapped inMurphy, September 11: An Oral History (New York: Doubleday,the West side of the building2002), p.231were unable to escape. 234 Pentagon AttackThe key to survival was finding a safe route out of the building.Most of the res-cues of the trapped or incapacitated took place in the first half-hour after theattack.Both military personnel and civilians aided hundred of individuals badlyshaken or injured.This help enabled many people to escape the building, keepingthe casualty rate relatively low.Once firefighters and other professional rescue peo-ple arrived, they began to discourage active participation by nonprofessionalsbecause it was simply too dangerous entering a building where there were still firesand structural collapses.Firefighting teams from the Arlington County Fire Department and other areafire departments responded to the emergency as soon as they heard the news.Newsof the attack came to the Arlington County Emergency Communications Center(ECC), which began broadcasting the news of the attack to various agencies and firedepartments.On arriving at the Pentagon, the firefighters began fighting the fireand rescuing some of those who were trapped.Many of those rescued were severelyburned.Although firefighting at the Pentagon was much easier than at the WorldTrade Center complex because of the Pentagon s fewer number of floors, difficultieswere caused by the high-temperature fire caused by burning aviation fuel.It tookfirefighters nearly five hours to put out the fire feeding on the aviation fuel and theburning building.As soon as the fire and smoke subsided, a general search for sur-vivors took place.There were no survivors.Because many of the offices on the westside were undergoing renovation, the number of casualties was lower than wouldhave been if the offices had been occupied.The blast and fire killed 128 Pentagonpersonnel, as well as the crew and passengers of Flight 77.A video image made available by the Pentagon on May 16, 2006, shows an explosionafter American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon on September 11.(APIMAGES/Pentagon.) Phoenix Memo 235The evacuation process and fire fighting had several interruptions because ofwarnings about possible other airliner attacks.Most serious of these warnings con-cerned United Airlines Flight 93 approaching the Washington, D.C., area.At eachwarning the Pentagon had to be evacuated.Despite these interruptions, by theend of the day on September 12 the fires had been contained.It took ten days after the attack for all human remains to be removed from thePentagon.A body-recovery team of one or more FBI agents, one or two FEMArepresentatives, a photographer, and a four-body carrier unit from the 3rd InfantryRegiment (Old Guard) looked for remains.Each body or body part was pho-tographed at the site.Later, cadaver-sniffing dogs were brought in to help thebody-recovery teams.See AlsoAmerican Airlines Flight 77; Hazmi, Nawaf bin Muhammad Salim al-; Mihdhar, Khalid al-;Pentagon AttackSee DocumentDocument #15Suggested ReadingRichard Bernstein, Out of the Blue: The Story of September 11, 2001, from Jihad to GroundZero (New York: Times Books, 2002); Alfred Goldberg et al
