Evidence of American 77 Passengers at Dulles Airport on 9/11

An Independent Investigation

In this article, I have documented visual photographic and video evidence which I have obtained showing passengers captured at Dulles Airport who “allegedly” boarded American 77 on 9/11.

To begin, Gwen Faulkner took two photographs which captured passengers at Dulles Airport on 9/11. Faulkner took photographs of some school children and their teachers along with two National Geographic representatives. The children had won a National Geographic competition, and were on a trip organized by National Geographic as the prize to participate in a National Geographic ‘Photo Camp’ in Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, sponsored by NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries. Washington, D.C.

The photograph captured from left to right shows; James D. Debeuneure, Rodney Dickens, Bernard C. Brown II, Hilda E. Taylor, Asia S. Cottom, Sara M. Clark, J. Joseph Ferguson and Ann C. Judge.

In a second photograph which Faulkner took located at boarding gate D26, (which is the official gate American 77 pushed back from), it shows the teachers, school children along with capturing four other passengers.

Photograph Two

Below, I have identified who the four other passengers are in the photograph, see below:

Below, is a full list of the passengers in the Photograph Two:

For clarity, for those questioning whether or not the photograph was at the correct boarding gate D26, I did some analysis of the Dulles Airport gate area at D26. See results below:

From Faulkner’s two photographs she took, Faulkner captured a total of 11 passengers at Dulles Airport on 9/11. That was 7 intentional passengers, and 4 unintentional passengers.

In December 2024, I published “unreleased” CCTV footage from Dulles Airport on 9/11, showing a number of passengers and crew who were named as being on board American 77. The CCTV evidence I obtained which I am presenting below is a number of video files that were part of the FBI’s investigations, and was obtained by FBI agent Lisa O’Sullivan, and was never released to the public.

Below, the CCTV shows, Mari-Rae Sopper, with her cat box with her cat in it named Sammy, walking towards the security screening area and also inside the security screening area, at Dulles Airport on 9/11.

Below, is the publicly released CCTV showing the alleged five hijacker’s passing through the screening area of Dulles Airport on 9/11.

The CCTV captures Hani Hanjour.

The CCTV captures Khalid Al-Mihdar and Majed Moqed.

The CCTV captures Salem Al-Hazmi and Nawaf Al-Hazmi.

All the visual evidence I have presented above, shows 22 passengers (including the hijackers) at Dulles Airport, allegedly on 9/11. This is approximately a third of the 64 passengers who were named as being on American 77.

Did the passengers board American 77?

The CCTV evidence does not show any passengers boarding American 77. The only real evidence we have thus far is of passengers who appear to be boarding at the “officially” named gate D26, captured in Gwen Faulkner’s photograph. See below:

Captured in Photograph list:

A: Dora Marie Menchaca, B: Dong Chul Lee, C: Sara M. Clark, D: Robert Penninger, E: James D. Debeuneure, F: Asia S. Cottom, G: Karen Ann Kincaid and H: Rodney Dickens.

We can only assume that the two National Geographic employee’s - J. Joseph Ferguson and Ann C. Judge, on left edge of the photograph, also boarded with the school children and their teachers. See below:

In a third photograph which Gwen Faulkner took at Dulles Airport on 9/11, she photographed an American Airlines aircraft at Gate D26, the officially named gate to which we were told American 77 pushed back from.

UPDATE: 16/11/2025

Interestingly, since posting this article some hours ago, I unexpectedly came across another photograph of two passengers, Bernard C. Brown II and Hilda E. Taylor at the boarding gate D26 area.

Both Bernard C. Brown II and Hilda E. Taylor feature in the first photo in my article, 3rd and 4th from left in the photo. See below:

UPDATE: 17 November, 2025.

Rodney Dickens, who was pictured in two of Gwen Faulkner’s photographs at Dulles Airport on 9/11, is also identified in the Dulles CCTV footage. Thanks to Charlie Kallas for point this out to me.

UPDATE: 18 November, 2025.

James D. Debeuneure was identified in Gwen Faulkner’s photograph, and I have also identified him in the Dulles CCTV footage sorting through his belongings at the screening desk top left. See below:

Another Photograph Emerges of Passengers at Dulles Airport - Gate D26 on 9/11

This is yet another photograph I have obtained of passengers taken at Dulles Airport at Gate D26, as they were “allegedly” heading to board American 77. See below:

I believe this photograph was taken by Gwen Faulkner. She took 3 photographs at Dulles Airport on 9/11, which are also featured in this article.

Thanks for reading and caring!
