Who was Killed in the 9/11/01 Attack on the Pentagon
9-11 Research
Whereas victims of the World Trade Center attack were identified by civilian authorities, victims of the attack on the Pentagon were identified by military authorities. The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology issued a report in November of 2001 claiming to have identified 184 of 189 persons killed in the Pentagon attack. 1
The following map of the locations of victims in the attack was released as part of prosecution exhibits in the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui. 2
An office of the Army that had just re-occupied the Pentagon’s recently renovated Wedge One, named Resource Services Washington, lost 34 of its 45 employees. Most were civilian accountants, bookkeepers and budget analysts. 3 Defense Secretary Rumsfeld had announced on the eve of the attack that more than $2 trillion was missing from the Pentagon.
More than half of the victims were in the Navy Command Center, a command-and-control facility on the first floor of the Pentagon’s D-Ring.
Many survivors suffered horrible injuries. Kevin Shaeffer was watching coverage of the attack in New York City with co-workers in the Navy Command Center when the plane [actually a cruise missile] struck, instantly killing 29 people in the same office. Shaeffer sustained second- and third-degree burns over 40 percent of his body.
