The device or craft entered the wall of the Pentagon
just behind the heliport. Half an hour after the attack,
this front wall collapsed. The photograph below was taken
in the minutes following the attack, when help first arrived.
The wall at this stage has not yet collapsed. In the accompanying
image, the point of impact has been enlarged. It spans
from the first floor of the building to the second floor,
7 ½ to 8 ½ yards high. It is as wide as
the two windows above (5 ½ to 6 ½ yards).
It would appear that the wall between the building's two
supporting pillars has been removed.

The exit hole
The two photographs below show the hole through which
the device or craft exited the building. The photograph's
caption is clear on this point: "The exit hole where
American Airlines Flight 77 finally stopped after penetrating
the Pentagon". The second photograph shows the same
hole after debris was removed. The words "Punch out"
have been added. The hole is quite circular and is about
2 ½ yards in diameter.
The position of the hole
The two photographs to the left and their enlargements
on the right show the location of this hole on the inside
wall of the third ring. The condition of the windows and
the inscriptions on the right can be compared to the photographs
above. High definition enlargements of these images may
