Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Almost five years after the event, pictures were released yesterday that appear to capture the moment when American Airlines flight 77 slammed into the Pentagon in Washington DC, on 11 September, 2001.
The pictures, obtained by the legal rights group Judicial Watch, consist of frames taken every half second by a security camera at a Pentagon parking lot.
So indistinct are the pictures they are unlikely to quell conspiracy theories on the internet that there was no plane, but a missile, that day. The real question is why the Pentagon blocked their release for so long.
