"The damaged area to the Pentagon had been under 'renovation' for years and was conveniently scheduled to be completed only days after the event," Ranke adds. "The renovation is why that section of the building was relatively unoccupied compared to any other part of the building and there were relatively few deaths . . . giving them plenty of controlled unoccupied areas to plant debris."
