60 minutes. The miracle of the Pentagon

Description

Even though 125 people were killed in the Pentagon on Sept. 11, there was something miraculous about that day. The plane obliterated the first and part of the second floor, but the third, fourth and fifth floors remained suspended in midair for 35 minutes. Hundreds of people escaped. How is that possible? The answer lies in a partially classified government study of the bombings that have come before. Scott Pelley reports.
