Witness also include hundreds of people driving on Highway 110 right in front of the Pentagon that morning - including two people that worked with my mother. Her office was in Rosslyn, and the main route into the area takes you less than 1/2 a kilometer from the impact location. My mom was already at work that day and didn't witness it first-hand, but two of her co-workers were on that road headed into work when the plane crashed. They saw the plane. They called in immediately, and my mother called me about 20 minutes later to let me know that she was OK - knowing that I knew where she worked and how she would have gotten to work, and not wanting me to worry when I saw the news.
Look at a map of the area around the Pentagon. You will see one freeway and two major highways directly on three sides of it. It was rush hour. If you look at the map, you'll also see that the runways for National Airport are very, very close by. Which is why, at first - before hearing about the towers in New York, witnesses assumed it was a terrible accident, and not some sort of plot. If they hadn't seen the plane, they would have thought differently.
