9/11 Bombshell: TV Producer Has Missing Video Proving Missile Hit Pentagon (I)
Larry Garrison, a top U.S. television producer, says he was sent a video after the 9/11 attacks that shows a cruise missile hitting the Pentagon. According to Garrison, when he passed copies of the video on to news organizations, they refused to broadcast the footage and warned him to cease trying to get it released.
Shoestring 9/11 reports: While a few videos showing the attack on the Pentagon have been released in the years since Garrison received this footage, they appear to be different to what Garrison was sent. Furthermore, none of them have been of sufficient quality to determine conclusively what hit the Pentagon on September 11. The type of aircraft involved in the attack has therefore remained a subject of controversy.
If Garrison’s account is accurate, though, and the video Garrison was sent was authentic, the implications could be huge. If the Pentagon was hit by something other than a Boeing 757 – the kind of aircraft that, according to the official narrative of 9/11, crashed into it – this video could reveal that the public has been seriously deceived. And if the footage was made public, its release could lead to a complete reassessment of the 9/11 attacks.
The Pentagon Was Supposedly Hit By a Hijacked Boeing 757
The Pentagon was hit at 9:37 a.m. on September 11 by American Airlines Flight 77, a Boeing 757-200, according to the official account of 9/11. This plane had taken off from Dulles International Airport in Washington, DC, at 8:20 a.m. that morning, bound for Los Angeles. But at 8:51 a.m., the pilots communicated with air traffic controllers for the last time and in the next few minutes, it is believed, the plane was hijacked. The five alleged hijackers were from Saudi Arabia and the hijacker who allegedly took over the plane’s controls was a 29-year-old called Hani Hanjour.
After previously heading west, at 8:54 a.m. flight 77 veered off its assigned course over the Ohio-Kentucky border and flew south. Two minutes later, radar contact with it was lost. Minutes after that, it turned eastward. Then, at 9:34 a.m., as it approached Washington, the plane began a 330-degree turn and descended toward the headquarters of the Department of Defense. Three minutes later, it crashed into the west wall of the Pentagon at the first-floor level, at approximately 530 miles per hour. A total of 189 people died in the attack, 64 of them on the plane and 125 working at the Pentagon.
While this account seems quite straightforward and was accepted as true in the 9/11 Commission Report, Garrison received a video that indicated it was false and something other than flight 77 had crashed into the Pentagon on September 11.
“Story Broker” Was Told About a Video That Showed a Missile Flying Into the Pentagon
Larry Garrison, president of SilverCreek Entertainment in Los Angeles, is what is known as a “story broker”. Story brokers “place themselves as middlemen between the supply of human drama and the demand for it – so news organizations have to do business with them”, according to the New York Observer. Garrison “gets paid to bring tabloid stories to TV news programs”, The Atlantic reported.
He is the “king” of his line of work, according to numerous sources at the ABC network. He has decades of experience in the media business, and has produced and brokered major news stories for ABC News, CBS News, Fox News, NBC News and other major media organizations.
Larry Garrison
In his memoir, The NewsBreaker, Garrison recalled that a few months after 9/11, he received a curious e-mail from someone who referred to himself by the pseudonym “Carl”. Garrison was initially suspicious about Carl, assuming he was just a hoaxer trying to cash in on the tragic events of September 11. However, Garrison wrote, “when he told me he had a video of a missile flying into the Pentagon, not a passenger jet, I listened”. Carl stated that he would like to meet Garrison and show him the video. He added, however, that “the FBI was trying to stop him from showing it to anyone”.
Although Carl’s claim was extraordinary, Garrison felt this man was trustworthy. “For the most part, my 20-plus years of experience helps me weed out the fakes; this guy sounded real”, he has commented. He apparently talked with Carl on the phone after receiving the e-mail and “could feel the sense of urgency in his voice, and the sincerity”.
After researching the attack on the Pentagon and noting various anomalies that had been highlighted by commentators on the Internet, Garrison wanted to get hold of the video that Carl said he possessed. Although he was unable to persuade Carl to meet up in person, Carl did e-mail him a copy of the video. It turned out to be devastating.
Although the footage was less clear than the story broker would have liked, Garrison recalled, “it left no doubt whatsoever that what hit the Pentagon on 9/11 wasn’t a Boeing 757”. While the quality of the image made it impossible to determine for sure what crashed into the Pentagon, the object in the video “looked like a smaller plane or [a] cruise missile”.
Upon consideration, Garrison decided it was more likely a missile, since he felt there had been greater damage to the reinforced walls of the Pentagon than a small plane could have caused. He concluded: “When I look at some of the news archives and compare the damage to the Pentagon to other concrete buildings that have been hit with a cruise missile, I have no doubt in my mind that something other than a Boeing 757 hit the Pentagon on 9/11”.
News Organizations Refused To Broadcast the Footage
Garrison initially felt certain that once he passed on this astonishing video to the news networks, what it showed would become a major story and the “media machine” would then “mobilize all of its resources to discover, or uncover, what really happened”. He soon found that his assumption was wrong.
After receiving the video from Carl, he contacted a couple of major news organizations. When he explained to them what he had, the people he talked to replied enthusiastically: “Oh, my God! Get that tape over here right away!”
He sent them copies of the video and then waited for a couple of days, expecting to see the footage appearing and being discussed on the news. Instead, however, the people at the news organizations called him back and warned him to abandon his efforts to get the video released to the public. He was told: “Larry, you need to listen to me on this. The video never existed. You never saw it. This could cause some real trouble if you pursue it any further”.
Garrison had initially been determined to help the public understand what had happened on September 11. On the day of the terrorist attacks, he recalled, “The one thing I did know was that I would find answers sooner than most and I felt obligated to make sure that [the public] knew everything I knew.” But what he was now being told and the manner in which it was said led him to have a change of his intentions.
“I remember hanging up the phone knowing that I could be putting my family and myself at risk if I tried to push the issue, and I knew there was no way to protect myself”, he wrote. Therefore, he added, “I backed off”.
Videos of the Pentagon Attack That Have Been Released Are Unclear
In the years since Garrison was sent this revelatory footage of the Pentagon being hit on September 11, a number of videos that show, or relate to the attack on the Pentagon have been released, but these appear to be different to what Garrison received. This means a crucial piece of evidence related to the 9/11 attacks is still being withheld from the public.
Two videos showing the Pentagon being hit were officially released by the Department of Defense in May 2006. They had been recorded by security cameras north of the crash site, at a checkpoint that cars went through on their way to a parking lot at the Pentagon. However, Garrison apparently referred to these in his memoir and made clear they were different to the video he saw.
He mentioned another video, besides the one Carl sent him, that had been “recently released” and showed “something that to many does not look like a plane” crashing into the Pentagon.
His memoir was published just a few months after these two videos were released and the videos indeed showed “something that to many does not look like a plane” hitting the Pentagon. The Washington Post described the object in them as “a silver speck low to the ground” while the Associated Press described it as just “a thin white blur”.
Five frames from a video that showed the Pentagon being hit were released unofficially to news organizations in March 2002. These, however, were just excerpted from one of the videos that were officially released in May 2006. They were therefore unrelated to the video Garrison was sent.
A few more videos related to the Pentagon attack were released by the FBI in late 2006, but these were also apparently different to the video Garrison received. Unlike Carl’s video, they either didn’t show the Pentagon being hit or didn’t show the attacking aircraft – or missile – flying toward the building.
Among these recordings was footage, released in September 2006, recorded by six security cameras at a Citgo gas station near the Pentagon. The video had been confiscated by the FBI within minutes of the Pentagon attack. A supervisor at the gas station had said the security cameras there were “close enough to the Pentagon to have recorded the moment of impact”. However, this was apparently not the case. Judicial Watch, the public interest group that obtained the videos from the FBI, noted that the videos showed that “the Citgo cameras did not seem to capture the actual attack”.
The final video related to the Pentagon attack to be made public was recorded by a security camera on top of the Doubletree Hotel in Arlington, Virginia, and was released in December 2006. But this too failed to shed any light on what crashed into the building. The image quality was poor, and a “close examination” of the recording by CNN revealed only “the subsequent explosion and no image of the jet” that supposedly flew into the Pentagon.
