Abstract
The Pentagon, the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, was constructed between September 1941 and January 1943. A major renovation of the entire 6.6 million sq ft facility began in 1999 and is scheduled for completion in 2010. On September 11, 2001, a hijacked commercial airliner was intentionally crashed into the building in an act of terrorism. One hundred eighty-nine persons were killed and a portion of the building was damaged by the associated impact, deflagration, and fire.
