On the afternoon of September 11, 2001, ASCE’s Structural Engineering Institute established a building performance study team to examine the structural damage inflicted on the Pentagon by the crash.

In 1971 former Cold War hard-liner Daniel Ellsberg made history by releasing the Pentagon Papers-a 7,000-page top-secret study of U.S. decision-making in Vietnam-to the New York Times and Washington Post.
