So this is how conspiracy theories start, hey?

I've come across Hunt the Boeing a few times this week - it's a site that goes through a bunch of photographs of the aftermath of the plane-bombing of the Pentagon, and tries to prove that there wasn't a plane at all, and something else caused the damage.

I also found (while doing my semi-irregular weblog trawl) a very good rebuttal from freelance journalist Paul Boutin.

What it leads me to wonder, of course, is whether in twenty years time we'll see an hour-long TV show "proving" that there was no plane. By then, eyewitness memories will have faded, so we'll be able to produce people who were there (or at least nearby) who can't categorically say there was a plane. Evidence to rebut the claims will be a lot harder to come by. Is this going to be another one of those we never landed on the moon things?
