A nearby [[Citgo]] service station also had security cameras, but a video released on September 15, 2006, did not show the crash because the camera was pointed away from the crash site.<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://www.judicialwatch.org/5965.shtml |title=CITGO Gas Station Cameras Near Pentagon Evidently Did Not Capture Attack |date=September 15, 2006 |publisher=Judicial Watch |access-date=June 11, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080501110315/http://www.judicialwatch.org/5965.shtml |archive-date=May 1, 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Videotapes dispel conspiracy; Plane, not missile seen hitting Pentagon on 9/11 |work=The Washington Times |date=May 17, 2006}}</ref>

The [[Doubletree]] Hotel in the nearby neighborhood of [[Crystal City, Virginia|Crystal City]] also had a security camera video. The FBI released the video on December 4, 2006, in response to a FOIA lawsuit filed by Scott Bingham.
