    It is not a plane. You need to face the reality. It's a cruise missile or a drone.

    That flew a few dozen feet above a busy motorway filled with rush hour traffic. Yeah. And Right.

    How did a drone or missile clip and knock over lamp posts on other sides of the road?

    Your missing the point. There is no picture of a plane crashing into the Pentagon.
    The only pictures that exist show a light before an explosion. The rest is just wishful thinking. The people who defend the official conspiracy theory wish there was a plane.

    It's a timelapse camera designed to register car licence plates.

    I'm really sorry to be the one to break it to you but "24" wasn't a documentary. There are real time HD CCTV cameras everywhere.

    The Pentagon doesn't rely on cameras to provide security, it has it's own police force, a guard is much better than a camera.

    Once again the plane flew over a busy highway at rushhour. Hundreds of people witnessed it. Within minutes of the crash hundreds of rescue workers from dozens of agencies federal, military and local were on the scene. They saw body parts, plane debris everything.

    All this all happened in broad daylight next to a very busy public highway.

    You're trying to tell me a missile zig zagged across eight lanes of highway knocking over lampposts, partially crashing into a generator before hitting the pentagon, and then in the minutes after the crash, again in broad daylight in view of a public highway, some how body parts and plane debris like engines, seats with passengers still in them, the tail, all magically appeared on the lawn of the Pentagon.

    And you think I have a problem coping with reality?

    First the people who saw a plane, did not see the plane crashing into the building.
    Second there is no single material or visual proof that a plane crashed into the building.
    Third by ridiculing people who are skeptic you just show that you are not interested in a debate. You just want to defend the official theory. Why? Are you afraid to find out that a democratic government could lie?
    Why do you think it's impossible that the people who lied about the WMD before the war against IRAQ could not lie to you again?
    The FBI has confiscated all the cameras around the Pentagon. Why? Because they know that if we see those pictures, it will incriminate the real perpetrators.
    It's like building 7 if you can't see the scam there is nothing I can do.

    Except for plane wreckage and all the witnesses. You seem awfully eager to ignore this, but are happy with the zero evidence that it was a missile.

    There's a lot of evidence that it was a plane. There's no evidence that it was a missile. It's not a matter of refusing to believe what you claim. It's that there isn't really any reason to believe without evidence.

    Iraq had WMD's (they even used them in the Iran/Iraq war). They just got rid of them long before Bush and his monkeys got there.

    Or it could be something to do with their investigation into the incident. And the FBI later released the footage.

    Yes they did.
    From the lists above, 136 people saw the plane approach the Pentagon, and
    104 directly saw the plane hit the Pentagon.

    6 were nearly hit by the plane in front of the Pentagon. Several others were within 100-200 feet of the impact.

    26 mentioned that it was an American Airlines jet.

    39 others mentioned that it was a large jet/commercial airliner.

    2 described a smaller corporate jet. 1 described a "commuter plane" but didn't mention the size.

    7 said it was a Boeing 757.

    8 witnesses were pilots. One witness was an Air Traffic Controller and Pentagon tower Chief.

    2 witnesses were firefighters working on their truck at the Pentagon heliport.

    4 made radio calls to inform emergency services that a plane had hit the Pentagon.

    10 said the plane's flaps and landing gear were not deployed (1 thought landing gear struck a light pole).

    16 mentioned seeing the plane hit light poles/trees, or were next to to the poles when it happened. Another 8 mentioned the light poles being knocked down: it's unknown if they saw them hit.

    42 mentioned seeing aircraft debris. 4 mentioned seeing airline seats. 3 mentioned engine parts.

    2 mentioned bodies still strapped into seats.

    15 mentioned smelling or contacting aviation/jet fuel.

    3 had vehicles damaged by light poles or aircraft debris. Several saw other occupied vehicles damaged.

    3 took photographs of the aftermath.

    Many mentioned false alarm warnings of other incoming planes after the crash. One said "3-4 warnings."

    And of course,

    0 saw a military aircraft or missile strike the Pentagon.

    0 saw a plane narrowly miss the Pentagon and fly away.

    Not mentioned on that list is a friend of mine who was stuck in traffic on that freeway that day, and mailed me on Sept 12th to tell me how she watched as the plane hit the pentagon.

    Second there is no single material or visual proof that a plane crashed into the building.

    The following organisations were involved in the rescue attempt that day
    Alexandria VA Fire & Rescue, American Airlines, American Red Cross, Arlington County Emergency Medical Services, Arlington County Fire Department, Arlington County Sheriff's Department, Arlington VA Police Department, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, DiLorenzo TRICARE Health Clinic staff, DeWitt Army Community Hospital staff, District of Columbia Fire & Rescue, DOD Honor Guard, Environmental Protection Agency Hazmat Teams, Fairfax County Fire & Rescue, FBI Evidence Recovery Teams, FBI Hazmat Teams, Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Disaster Medical Assistance Teams, FEMA 68-Person Urban Search and Rescue Teams Maryland Task Force 1, New Mexico Task Force 1, Tennessee Task Force 1, Virginia Task Force 1, Virginia Task Force 2, FEMA Emergency Response Team, Fort Myer Fire Department, Four U.S. Army Chaplains, Metropolitan Airport Authority Fire Unit, Military District of Washington Engineers Search & Rescue Team, Montgomery County Fire & Rescue, U.S. National Guard units, National Naval Medical Center CCRF, National Transportation Safety Board, Pentagon Defense Protective Service, Pentagon Helicopter Crash Response Team, Pentagon Medical Staff, Rader Army Health Clinic Staff, SACE Structural Safety Engineers and Debris Planning and Response Teams, Salvation Army Disaster Services, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, US Army Reserves of Virginia Beach Fairfax County and Montgomery County, Virginia Beach Fire Department, Virginia Department of Emergency Management, Virginia State Police

    Are all of them in on the conspiracy.

    Wreckage and Body parts were found littering the impact site.

    The remains of every passenger were recovered bar one.

    Third by ridiculing people who are skeptic you just show that you are not interested in a debate.

    I'm sorry it was you that said
    You need to face the reality.

    You'd probably want to stop throwing stones, the insurance premiums on glass houses are a bitch.
    You just want to defend the official theory. Why?

    Because it's true.


  • Registered Users Posts: 887 ✭✭✭Podman


    You believe the official story is true because you've been told its true.

    If there was any real evidence, it would have been released.

    Not even one video of a plane, just a load of talk.

    Somebody made trillions of dollars from the "war of terror", guess who it was..

    Yeah I mean all those months painstakingly going through the rubble finding passenger and pentagon staff DNA, piffle, if it's not on you tube it didn't happen.

    EDIT:
    Here maybe David was at the pentagon.:pac::pac::pac:

    Maybe we should ask David Copperfield where the 911 "evidence" has gone?

    I think that most people here have see CSI, or at least heard of forensics..

    Don't you ever wonder why the "evidence" was destroyed so quickly after the events?
    How can an airplane's alluminium nosecone punch holes through several reinforced walls?
    There is no mention of the demolition of WTC Building 7 in the official 911 report.
    And why, when everything else was pulverized, the only intact fragments from the day are the alleged hijacker's passports?

    I could go on and on and on about this, there are so many inconsistencies about the 911 lie that Grissom and his CSI team would find the whole official story laughable, if it wasn't so sickening.

    Already discussed at length. hit by massive chunks of rubble by the collapsing twin towers, fires raging uncontrolled and unfought for hours, combined with a unique building design.

    NIST wrote a long report about it.

    Velocity increases mass.

    Several other buildings were brought down later due to damage sustained that day. Your point?

    Thats simply not true personal effects of passengers, body parts, DNA, parts of the airplanes were all recovered from the three sites.

    Try and debunk....what, exactly?

    There is no coherent argument for controlled demolition that I'm aware of...but rather a large collection of often-contradictory "it must be demolition" versions.

    You tell me which one to debunk...which one you think happened...and I'll get to it.

    Meanwhile, would you return the favour, and debunk the NIST report explaining what happened to WTC7. It is, after all, the offiical explanation that you reject, so naturally you must have your reasons for not accepting it.

    For the record...I've a very good reason for asking. Most people aren't even aware of what that report actually says....why NIST believe the building really collapsed, what were contributing factors and (more interestingly) what were not.

    That depends on what you mean.

    How many buildings collapsed that day? How many buildings were destroyed that day? How many buildings were destroyed as a result of the actions of that day?

    The answers to all of those questions are different.

    I would suggest, however, that if you're not aware of what notable high-rise buildings collapsed, then you're hardly in a position to say that the official explanations of what happened are wrong.

    I think you mean velocity increases kinetic energy.

    Velocity, after all, is mass times acceleration. If velocty increased mass, that would create a positive feedback loop ;)

    (Yes, I'm aware of the relativistic effects of velocity on mass. They are hardly likely to be a key factor here....so lets stick to Newtonian physics on this one for simplicity)

    There are many facets to the 9/11 ct not just building 7 and what ever else was demolished or fell down.
    What i was asking was which buildings fell down as a result of the planes crashing into the twin towers.
    I had thought there was a ct that building 7 colapsed but heard that after i had looked into the 9/11 stuff(mainly the politics of it and prior to the incident) and dont fancy going back to all that research every time a new area pops up.
    9/11 is in the history books.Iran is next.
    I was just curious since its being discussed now.
    Asking questions shouldnt be seen as refuting surely?

    http://www.civil.columbia.edu/ce4210/FEMA_403CD/html/pdfs/403_ch7.pdf

    4 total collapses, 3 partial collapses. 11 with major damage (of which some were subsequently deemed irreperably damaged and demolished).
    Asking questions shouldnt be seen as refuting surely?
    My bad. I misread a post as being yours which wasn't.

    Actually velocity is distance divided by time.

    Force is mass times acceleration.
    And kinetic energy is half the mass times the velocity squared.

    I still owe you for correcting me that time :p

    Without those, your claims carry no weight.

    Incidentally, any demolition expert will tell you that it takes weeks of preparation to wire a building for demolition, wtc7 was demolished the same day. It's destruction was even prematurely reported on international television.

    To what facts are you referring please?
    There are photographs of Pentagon staff moving aircraft wreckage immediately after impact. It doesn't prove anything except tampering and contamination of a crime scene. (link)
    Key steel structural beams from the twin towers were taken to China and destroyed as soon as they could be moved. (link1, link2)

    I can't understand how some people can be so blindly accepting of this.
    I don't know...but given that the official account of events doesn't claim it did, I'm not sure why that's relevant.
    Not relevant? Surely the point of impact is central to the collision?

    "Something" made at least four large holes in a dead straight line, in arguably the most secure and reinforced building on the planet, and you want me to believe it's not relevant? really?

    eyewitness says "not a plane"

    Well what is relevant then? What do you believe caused the holes? (link)
    ..Perhaps that's because the investigation of WTC7 concluded that it wasn't demolished?..
    The official 911 Commission Report doesn't even mention Building 7. If I am wrong here, please correct me, I'd love to see it for myself.
    They're not the only intact fragments.
    Of course not..
    It's a bit suspicious though, don't you think, that a paper passport at the epicenter of the WTC plane crash, survived a fireball that was allegedly hot enough to melt structural steel, survived a skyscraper collapse, and were among the items to be found intact?

    There are also conflicting reports of this, one says it was found minutes after the attack, another says it was found the day after. (Morgan and Henshall, 9/11 Revealed, page 68)
    Would you go on and on making inaccurate claims if you did?
    No one is able to rationally defend the Official story, their only actions are to distract from, and discredit any research and investigation.
    (Edit : I'm more then willing to discuss any of these points. Why don't you pick the one you're most certain I'm wrong about)

    Considering the sheer volume of inconsistencies on the day, and the sketchy-ness of the Official story, I don't know where to begin.

    It seems that "What made the Pentagon holes" is the most obvious question from that post, in this thread.
    I'd love to hear an official version that makes any sense. (with links please)

    Personal Effects
    Orange County, CA., Sept. 11 - Lisa Anne Frost was 22 and had just graduated from Boston University in May 2001 with two degrees and multiple academic and service honors. She had worked all summer in Boston before coming home, finally, to California to start her new life. The Rancho Santa Margarita woman was on United Flight 175 on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, when it became the second plane to slam into the World Trade Center...

    Her parents, Tom and Melanie Frost, have spent two years knowing they will never understand why.

    A few days before the first anniversary of our daughter's murder, we were notified that they had found a piece of her in the piles and piles of gritty rubble of the World Trade Center that had been hauled out to Staten Island. It was Lisa's way, we believe, of telling us she wasn't lost.

    In February, the day of the Columbia tragedy, we got word they'd found her United Airlines Mileage Plus card. It was found very near where they'd found a piece of her right hip. We imagine that she used the card early on the morning of Sept. 11 to get on the plane and just stuck it in her back pocket, probably her right back pocket, instead of in her purse. They have found no other personal effects".
    nited Airlines Flight 93 slammed into the earth Sept. 11 near Shanksville, Somerset County, at more than 500 mph, with a ferocity that disintegrated metal, bone and flesh. It took more than three months to identify the remains of the 40 passengers and crew, and, by process of elimination, the four hijackers...

    But searchers also gathered surprisingly intact mementos of lives lost.

    Those items, such as a wedding ring and other jewelry, photos, credit cards, purses and their contents, shoes, a wallet and currency, are among seven boxes of identified personal effects salvaged from the site.

    http://www.post-gazette.com/headlines/20011230flight931230p3.asp
    On Oct. 12, it arrived inside a second envelope at Mrs. Snyder's modest white house on Main Street here, and the instant she took it out and saw it, she says, ''chills just went over me.'' It was singed and crumpled. A chunk was ripped out, giving the bottom of the envelope she had sent the look of a jagged skyline. Mrs. Snyder's lyrical script had blurred into the scorched paper. The stamp, depicting a World War II sailor embracing a woman welcoming him home, was intact.

    Along with the letter was a note: ''To whom it may concern. This was found floating around the street in downtown New York. I am sorry if you suffered any loss in this tragedy. Sincerely, a friend in New York!''

    Since then, Mrs. Snyder, a customer service representative at a grocery store, has discovered that she has one of only two pieces of mail known to have been recovered from the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center. At least one auction house has contacted her, saying she could sell the letter for tens of thousands of dollars.

    One Letter's Odyssey Helps Mend a Wound

    So more than just a passport was found at the crash site.


    Incidentally, any demolition expert will tell you that it takes weeks of preparation to wire a building for demolition, wtc7 was demolished the same day.

    It collapsed, it wasn't demolished. And those same demolition experts will tell you that it takes weeks of preparation, cutting support beams, breaking structural walls and a building needs to be empty for the crew to work.

    WTC 7 was filled to capacity with dozens of businesses in the weeks leading up to 911.

    Congratulations you've just debunked yourself.
    It's destruction was even prematurely reported on international television.

    Because accounts from firefighters throughout the day stated that the building was in a dangerous condition and likely to collapse.

    I still can't understand how anyone can assume a missile hit the Pentagon. Regardless of who was behind the whole thing, which seems more likely, that:

    a) a plane was hijacked and crashed into the building,

    or

    b) the plane somehow landed without being notced,
    the passengers and crew were killed and their bodies burned,
    a missile was launched without being noticed,
    the missile managed to fly over residential areas without being noticed,
    the missile hit the Pentagon,
    hundreds of people were hired to hide all wreckage of the missile, replace it with plane wreckage, hide the burned bodies of the passengers and crew in the building, and place themselves at varaious points around the area and say that they saw a plane,
    And even with all this expertly crafted plan, they still managed to not think that a couple of other witnesses may be about who'd say it was a missile?

    How can B even be considered? It dosen't make a lick of sense. I've said it before that if the US government or some other organisation was behind it, replacing the plane with a missile is f*cking retarded, and that rigging the plane with some sort of remote control (something that is very possible) or even better, tricking some fanatical Muslims into thinking their part of a terrorist organisation so that they willingly commit the hijacking, makes a hell of a lot more sense.

    Keeping in mind this all had to be done in broad daylight, during morning rush hour next to a massive freeway junction

    Try and debunk....what, exactly?

    There is no coherent argument for controlled demolition that I'm aware of...but rather a large collection of often-contradictory "it must be demolition" versions.

    You tell me which one to debunk...which one you think happened...and I'll get to it.

    Meanwhile, would you return the favour, and debunk the NIST report explaining what happened to WTC7. It is, after all, the offiical explanation that you reject, so naturally you must have your reasons for not accepting it.

    For the record...I've a very good reason for asking. Most people aren't even aware of what that report actually says....why NIST believe the building really collapsed, what were contributing factors and (more interestingly) what were not.

    No building has ever collapsed through fire in more that 4000 years of architecture, however the 11th of September 2001 three collapsed, falling without any resistance. What a coincidence, isn't it?
    The simple fact that 99% of the world population is not aware of WTC is more than suspicious.

    There's also this;

    Includes
    Minneapolis Thanksgiving Day Fire
    Windsor Tower Building Fire (The steel framed portion of the buidling collapsed.
    Namdaemun fire

    And so forth.

    however the 11th of September 2001 three collapsed, falling without any resistance.

    There was resistance. See the dust cloud falling faster than the building?

    The three buildings collapsed in less than 10 seconds. That's free fall. It's clearly a demolition.
    Regarding Dresden it was a horrible bombing. Thank you for confirming that bombs can destroy a building.

    Ask anybody about WTC7 and just a few will know what you are talking about. Do the experience. Go ahead. The reason? The mainstream media controlled by "you know who" will not show it. I was watching a documentary the other day on National Geographic channel about the so called conspiracy theories regarding 911 ( conspiracy facts) and they did not mention WTC7. Why? It's the smoking gun.

    Free fall is free fall. It's a demolition.
    Why WTC7?
    World Trade Center 7 housed SEC files relating to numerous Wall Street investigations, as well as other federal investigative files. All the files for approximately 3,000 to 4,000 SEC cases were destroyed. While some were backed up in other places, others were not, especially those classified as confidential. What a coincidence...

    I'm not sure what you mean by "no building has ever collapsed through fire". Plenty of buildings have collapsed from fire. Plenty of steel-support building have collapsed from fire. Its only as we start more explicitly defining things (e.g. no high-rise, steel-support building) that we get to a category where we can say there was a first.

    Its also worth pointing out that the towers didn't collapse from fire. They collapsed from the combined effects of structural damage caused from aircraft impact and fire.

    Additionally, its worth pointing out that WTC 7 collapsed from the combined effects of a design flaw and fire.
    What a coincidence, isn't it?
    What is the coincidence?

    That the only two high-rise buildings ever hit by large heavily-fuelled aircraft travelling at high speed, both collapsed from the combination of structural damage and fire? I wouldn't call that a co-incidence at all. I'd call it consistent behaviour.

    Or perhaps you mean that its a coincidence that a nearby building was the first ever highrise to collapse from a fire effecting what was effectively a unique design flaw?

    Sure...I'll accept that it was a coincidence that this incredibly rare design flaw existed in a building near the WTC.
    The simple fact that 99% of the world population is not aware of WTC is more than suspicious.
    If you say so.

    Watch WTC 7 in Youtube for the free fall.

    Files relating Citigroup to the WorldCom scandal were lost.[51] The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission estimates over 10,000 cases will be affected.[52] The Secret Service had its largest field office, with more than 200 employees, in WTC 7 and lost investigative files. Says one agent: “All the evidence that we stored at 7 World Trade, in all our cases, went down with the building.
    Also the CIA and the Department of Defense had officces in WTC7. Surprise, surprise...

    If you say so.

    The fact that the second tower hit by a plane collapsed before the first tower hit by a plane is not consistent with the "Jet fuel conspiracy theory" . As the tower burnt longer it should have collapsed before the second tower.
    Those towers were designed to resist impacts of jetliners. They were demolished.

    The media never mention WTC 7 because they want to hide the smocking gun.;) What are they afraid of?

    To what facts are you referring please?
    The facts surrounding the aftermath of the collision.
    There are photographs of Pentagon staff moving aircraft wreckage immediately after impact. It doesn't prove anything except tampering and contamination of a crime scene. (link)
    In any situation, rescue operations have higher priority then crime investigation. That evidence was collected rather than risk losing it or having it damaged by the ongoing rescue operations is not "tampering and contamination"...or if it is, its nothing unusual. It is, rather, making a pragmatic decision.

    Key steel structural beams from the twin towers were taken to China and destroyed as soon as they could be moved.

    The material was moved from the site to a secure location, using GPS-tracked vehicles, and then kept there until such times as the investigation team had declared that they had taken the samples they wanted / needed, and that the remainder could be disposed of. So if the people investigating the scene didn't feel those beams were key, and that they had taken what they wanted...then surely the "as soon as they could be moved" has to be understood to mean "as soon as the investigating team said they were finished with them".
    Not relevant? Surely the point of impact is central to the collision?

    "Something" made at least four large holes in a dead straight line, in arguably the most secure and reinforced building on the planet, and you want me to believe it's not relevant? really?
    I'm questioning the allegation that an alumunium nose cone punched through several re-inforced walls.

    There weren't several re-inforced walls, nor did any official account I'm aware of suggest that it was an aluminium nose cone which caused the hole in question.

    Something ended up causing that hole, after going through the -inforced outer wall, the wall with hole, and whatever lay in between. I've no question about that.
    The idea that there were several re-inforced walls in the way, and the suggestion that it was an aluminium nosecone....that's what I don't agree with.
    The official 911 Commission Report doesn't even mention Building 7. If I am wrong here, please correct me, I'd love to see it for myself.
    Did it mention any of the buildings, other then those directly impacted by planes? No, it didn't.

    Why is it suspicious that one specific building from all of the ones which were "collateral damage" was not singled out? Wouldn't it be the other way round...that if they picked out one building from all the collateral damage, that would be suspicious.
    Of course not..
    So you at least accept that your claim that htey were the only intact fragments was completely wrong, then. That's at least one item down.
    It's a bit suspicious though, don't you think, that a paper passport at the epicenter of the WTC plane crash, survived a fireball that was allegedly hot enough to melt structural steel, survived a skyscraper collapse, and were among the items to be found intact?
    If this was the only piece of paper-based material which survived....then I'd find this curious to be sure.

    It wasn't. Plenty of paper survived.

    If you find that suspicious, though, thats entirely your perogative. You found it suspicious that it was the only intact thing...and then admitted that "of course" it wasn't.
    Now you find it suspicious that it was paper...almost suggesting that there was something unusual about a paper artefact surviving.
    No doubt you'll accept that other paper survived, and that its still suspicious.

    It seems that "What made the Pentagon holes" is the most obvious question from that post, in this thread.
    I'd love to hear an official version that makes any sense. (with links please)
    The official version is that debris caused the hole.

    You'll find the official details of it here.

    Incidentally, in that document, you'll also find diagrams and details of what - exactly - the debris went through between the outer wall and the wall to the AE "corridor" (the so-called "exit hole"). Perhaps you'd be so good to show me the "several reinforced walls" you refer to, or indeed where the "four large holes in a dead straight line" were....as the simple existence of these walls would be sufficient to show that the official account is wildly inaccurate.

    Why not? No-one claimed that the damage done to the two buildings was identical. We know they were hit at slightly different heights, and the planes impacted each differently. It is entirely logical to assume that the structural damage in each case would be different. It would be entirely suspicious if both failed exactly the same duration after impact....but its perfectly normal that one would be more damaged then the other. That it was the second impact is a 50-50 chance. Staggering odds, I'm sure you agree.
    Those towers were designed to resist impacts of jetliners.
    They were designed to resist low-speed impacts of jetliners low on fuel which might hit them by accident (based in the ESB incident).
    As it is, they resisted the high-speed impact of jetliners, heavily laden with fuel.

    What they didn't resist was the combined effect of impact and ensuing fire. Given that neither the models for fire damage nor the computing power to evaluate same existed in the 70s, we can state with confidence that there is simply no way they could have been designed to resist this combination.

    It was, however, considered to be sufficiently interesting for the official 911 investigation to commission NIST to investigate the collapse.

    They did so, and produced a report which answers your question.

    Are you not aware of what this official report says, that you keep asking how it could happen?
