About 1.3 million Americans in uniform answer up a chain that runs through it, it spends more than the next six countries combined, and the room that can confirm a President's most serious order sits inside it. And it's an office building, put up in 16 months in 1943. This is what it was rebuilt into. After the building was attacked The Pentagon signed a new contract to strip the other four fifths of the building that survived down to it’s bare concrete and rebuild it, one wedge at a time, and they did it without even closing up shop. They put steel and kevlar in the walls, 2,500 pound blast windows were put up, and a sprinkler system which they surprisingly didn’t have before. One square foot of the building was renovated every minute for a whole decade. The National Military Command Centre, which is basically the switchboard between the President and every combatant commander, was moved and rebuilt by The Pentagon during wartime. Then we are gonna talk about the perimeter; a bus terminal once stood 10 feet from the wall, a state highway that ran under the parade field, and even a mail dock…they pushed all of that as far away from the concrete as possible, because the blast wall only works if the blast starts far enough away.
