This
satellite photograph, taken by Space Imaging's IKONOS satellite on 12
September, shows the devastation on the Pentagon's west side after American
Airlines Flight 77 was flown into it around 09.38 (EDT) on 11 September.
Up to 800 Pentagon staff were initially feared dead, along with all 64
passengers and crew on the aircraft. About one-twelfth of the building
has been destroyed.
