During the terrorist attacks, hijackers crashed American Airlines Flight 77 into the west side of the Pentagon. The crash damaged three of the five sides of the Pentagon. Because the affected area was under renovation at the time, several offices were unoccupied, sparing many lives. The Pentagon has since been repaired and the first workers whose offices were damaged in the attack began moving back in on August 15, 2002, nearly a month ahead of schedule. At the center of the compound is a snack shop called the Ground Zero Cafe which sells sandwiches and coffee.<ref>[http://www.defenselink.mil/releases/release.aspx?releaseid=1389 U.S. Department of Defense News Release]</ref>

During the [[Vietnam War]] a number of [[Protests against the Vietnam War]] occurred around the Pentagon. One of the most colorful of which occurred on October 20th 1967, when [[Abbie Hoffman]] led a group of approximately 50,000 protesters in an attempt to exorcise the Pentagon of demonic influences—Hoffman said that if successful this attempt would cause the Pentagon to levitate, rotate mid-air, and turn orange. <ref>Levitate the Pentagon 1967 [ http://www.jofreeman.com/photos/Pentagon67.html] </ref>
