Summary

[edit]
Description At the river entrance side, the US flag flies at half-mast at the Pentagon on September 12th. Smoke billows above the roofline as fire fighters continue to extinguish flames at the impact area, on the opposite side, where a hijacked Boeing 757 crashed into the building the day before. In an attempt to frighten the American people, five members of Al-Qaida, a terrorist group of fundamentalist Muslims, hijacked American Airlines Flight 77, then flew it into the Pentagon killing all 64 passengers onboard and 125 people on the ground. The impact destroyed or damaged four of the five rings in that section of the building. Firefighters fought the fire through the night.
