Rivers, ok.
Come ho già detto però, nella fattispacie di un evento del genere la dinamica diventa complessa, molto.

Per quanto "lento" potesse essere l'aereo di certo non poteva essre scambiato per un aereo che atterrava, nè poteva volteggiare in quella zona, avremmo senò testimonianze di questo.

E' possibile che la lentezza attribuitagli fosse una conseguenza dell'accelerazione udita subito dopo...

Inoltre una mavovra siffatta penso, mia opinione, richiederebbe per forza un pilota alla guida.
Quindi un kamikaze.

Gary Baur - “The jet was coming behind us on that major highway. And it veered to the right into the Pentagon.”; “came from behind us and banked to the right and went into the Pentagon”.

Don Scott - “I had just passed the Pentagon and was near the Macy's store in Crystal City when I noticed a plane making a sharp turn from north of the Pentagon.”

Steve Storti - He watched the plane cross over Route 395, tip its left wing as it passed the Navy annex, veer sharply and then slice into the Pentagon.

Sean Boger - When he looked, he said the plane was flying towards the Pentagon, straight, very low and very fast. And then suddenly turned. It made a quick turn and then went straight into the Pentagon.

Levi Stephens - He didn't take notice until [the plane] turned towards the Pentagon.

Brig. Gen. Clyde A. Vaughn - Before his mind could register what was happening, he watched what would turn out to be another hijacked jet - American Airlines Flight 77 - make a sharp turn and plow into the Pentagon, flying so low to the ground it sheared the tops off light poles before plunging into the building and exploding in an enormous fireball.

Albert Hemphill - “He was slightly left wing down as he appeared in my line of sight, as if he'd just "jinked" to avoid something. As he crossed Route 110 he appeared to level his wings, making a slight right wing slow adjustment as he impacted low on the Westside of the building to the right of the helo, tower and fire vehicle around corridor 5.” <-- descrive il bank a sinistra e poi a destra, compatibilmente con una virata, senza menzionarla esplicitamente

NEIT 419 - “When I seen he was kind of turning and gliding when he came across here, across the parking lot but when he got out in front here, it sounded like he poured the coals to it”.

Penny Elgas - “Then it banked in the slightest turn in front of me, toward the heliport.”

Steve Anderson - “[the airplane] banked slightly to the left.”

Mike Walter - “I was surprised at how graceful and slow the banking of the jet appeared to be, and how quickly it accelerated after it had lined up the Pentagon.”

Gary Baur - “the jet was coming behind us on that major highway. And it veered to the right into the Pentagon.”; “came from behind us and banked to the right and went into the Pentagon.”

William Middleton Sr. - “Middleton looked up and spotted a commercial jet whose pilot seemed to be fighting with his own craft.”

Hagos Afework - “It was tilting its wings up and down like it was trying to balance.”

Albert Hemphill - “The aircraft was at a sharp downward angle of attack, on a direct course for the Pentagon. It was "clean", in as much as, there were no flaps applied and no apparent landing gear deployed. He was slightly left wing down as he appeared in my line of sight, as if he'd just "jinked" to avoid something. As he crossed Route 110 he appeared to level his wings, making a slight right wing slow adjustment as he impacted low on the Westside of the building to the right of the helo, tower and fire vehicle around corridor 5.”

Aydan Kizildrgli - Kizildrgli, while driving by the Pentagon, “saw the jetliner bank slightly.”

David Marra - “The plane rolled left and then rolled right.”

James Ryan - “He tilted his wings, this way and in this way (Ryan mimics). He kinda did like that.”

Col. Bruce Elliott - “It was banking and garnering speed.”

Robert A. Leonard - “The aircraft, so close to the ground, was banked skillfully to the right, leveled off.”

Cpt. Steve McCoy - “Captain Steve McCoy and the crew of ACFD Engine 101 were en route to a training session in Crystal City, traveling north on Interstate 395. Their conversation about the World Trade Center attack earlier that morning was interrupted by the sight and sound of a commercial airliner in steep descent, banking sharply to its right before disappearing beyond the horizon.”

Steve Storti - He watched the plane cross over Route 395, tip its left wing as it passed the Navy annex, veer sharply and then slice into the Pentagon.

Levi Stephens - He said he saw the plane "wobble" after passing over the Navy Annex...

Sean Boger - “As he was coming towards me it just seemed like he was tilting he aircraft to his right. It was almost like....not really going in nose first...it's just like almost like at an angle.”

Noel Sepulveda - “It seemed like the pilot was scrambling to keep control, and I watched as he dropped lower and lower.”
