The idea that the Pentagon attack involved two planes (or a plane plus a missile) and one overshot the Pentagon to land on the runway at nearby National Airport is one of the absurd theories, and only could work on those unfamiliar with the basic geography around the Pentagon. There are a LARGE number of large office buildings parallel to the National Airport runway (mostly inhabited by Pentagon workers and contractors). There is also a major highway and elevated rapid rail next to the airport, and surely at least one of them would have seen a plane come from the unprecedented direction of the Pentagon. Jets arriving at National generally follow the river in that vicinity -- a plane that overshot the Pentagon and then made multiple sharp turns to line up with the National runway would have been noticed by LOTS of people. In addition, those that would have seen the plane emerge on the other side of the Pentagon would have looked toward the area that the plane was flying at the exact moment of the flash and smoke cloud from the explosion. In other words, the people on I-395, in the Pentagon's south parking lot, and other vantage points would have been drawn to look at the potential airspace of this extra plane by the blast, it would not have distracted them to look elsewhere. This theory is being promoted most loudly on the internet by Mr. Dick Eastman of Yakima, Washington, who has stated that he has never been anywhere near Washington, D.C. (the webmaster of oilempire.us lived half of his life in that region, and is very familiar with the roads, bike paths and Metrorail line around the Pentagon, having traveled in that area and attended numerous peace protests at the Pentagon).

The odds that the second plane would have been seen are virtual ly a certainty, and this "theory" has zero evidence (of people seeing the plane overfly "Pentagon City" and / or the 14th Street Bridge).
Many who have debunked the "Pentagon missile hoax" have pointed out that no one - absolutely none of the hundreds of people who saw the events - reported seeing a missile hit the Pentagon. One bystander said that the plane acted as if it was a cruise missile, and some hoaxers twisted his words to pretend that he supposedly saw a missile - the opposite of what he actually said.
A Pentagon employee, a 37-year-old Marine major, said that at one point, a column of 50 FBI officers walked shoulder-to-shoulder across the south grounds of the Pentagon, picking up debris and stuffing it into brown bags. The lawn was scattered with chunks of the airplane, some up to four feet across.
Terry Scanlon interviewee: saw a plane following the jet that hit the Pentagon; two planes moving toward the Pentagon, one veering away as the other crashed.
These guys, ONI and auditors, were selected to be in that wedge as targets. This aerial photo says to me bombs were pre-placed to insure there were to be no survivors, all files destroyed as well. As near as I can see only two groups, Office of Naval Intelligence, Budget/auditors, and a half-dozen in personel. I can easily see that the entire chain of command ONI was killed.
Need to know exactly where their offices were on this picture.
