In the latest discussion thread to be added to the Center’s Debated Topics Forum, researcher Mehmet Inan has written a new paper entitled “Identification of the plane model that impacted the Pentagon.”
In this paper, Inan argues that a Boeing 737-400 — rather than the larger Boeing 757-200, which American Airlines Flight 77 was — is the model of the aircraft that struck the Pentagon.
Responses welcomed through October 28, 2024
We cordially invite the 9/11 research community to read this paper. If anyone disagrees with the arguments being presented, we welcome them to submit a response paper in accordance with the Forum’s Publication Guidelines.
Responses must be submitted within four months — i.e., by October 28, 2024. Responses will not be subject to peer review; they need only meet the minimal standards set forth in the Publication Guidelines.
The Debated Topics Forum is intended to be a venue for constructive, evidence-based discussions about long-debated questions in the 9/11 research community. It is our hope that the forum will serve as a platform for genuine scholarly debate that produces major advances in our understanding of 9/11.
We thank everyone in advance for their interest and participation.
