OK, now this one I know is an "urban myth" and this one makes me mad - that no plane struck the Pentagon.  How do I know?  A very good friend of mine was in the hospital on 9/11 and was on the phone with her brother, who at the time was working in the Pentagon.  She was talking to him when the plane hit and heard the "commotion" (lack of a better word right now).  When I talked to her she was barely able to speak she was so completely devastated and terrified.  It was a couple of days before she spoke with him again and found that he was ok, with only some minor scratches, etc.  That was a long couple of days.
 
As to the whole Philly airport getting there and back ... well I don't go too far myself, but I think Karen usually takes the train to the airport and unless weighed down too much, takes the train back. 
 
Lady Liberty is $8, but plan on it taking anywhere from 45 minutes to a couple of hours depending on how many other people are being picked up/dropped off.

I assume this is in reference to the flash animation which has been going
around saying a plane didn't crash into the pentagon. This has been
throughally (pretend it's spelled properly in your head) debunked on snopes:

What it has to do with west philly is beyond me. So I will tie it in this
way:

How does everybody get to the airport from w. philly? Typically I call a cab
and pay the $20, but I'm thinking that might not be the cheapest and most
effective way. I took the train to 30th once, but it wasn't appreciably
cheaper for the more round-about way of getting home.

Perhaps it launched it's missile from a mile or two away, and then kept on
it's merry way, right out of the territory.  You may ask if so, then why
didn't anybody see the plane fly by a few miles from the area.  They did.
And never questioned it's presence, the way you or I would perhaps not
notice or not question if a plane or two flew overhead right now.

Interesting.  Just another example of the constant lies, lies, lies...  You
can't believe or trust anything.  It doesn't take a conspiracy theory type
to know that politics and power are usually not based on truths.
