    Do you really believe that a government this incompetent could have pulled it off?

    A plane on it's way to the front door to the White House isn't going to get there...conspiracy or no conspiracy. I strongly agree with you, & I also doubt the US goverment has the intelligence/organisational integrity to stage 9/11 as an excuse to begin the War On Terror.

    I do believe though, that they have the cowardice to lie to protect their own internal political interests. Ie, would they have the balls & open mindedness to come out and say:

    "Regretfully, Flight 93 was lost in the interests of national security. We deepply regret having to take the necessary action, but the lives lost should be remembered, as they have potentially saved a lot more today."

    Of course they wouldn't, as it would be political suicide. If the above action was taken, would I expect them to lie about it? Most definitely yes. The plane came down in a remote location, witnesses wouldn't be a problem. The black box recordings we all heard are the bits we were allowed to hear & so forth. I don't want to come across as a foil hat lover as I'm not, but I think the above has merit.

    Please read this link

    It details the overwhelming evidence that the plane crashed due to passenger intervention.

    Dozens of passengers and flight attendents attacked their hijackers and paid for it with their lives.

    By spreading this untruth you are dishonouring the memory of their sacrifice.

    A plane was crashed into the front of the White House during the Clinton Presidency.

    There is no way they would have been able to cover up the shooting down of Flight 93. There would have been too many people involved and too many links in the chain of command to keep people involved onside and to keep them from going to the press.
    witnesses wouldn't be a problem.

    Why wouldn't they be a problem?
    The black box recordings we all heard are the bits we were allowed to hear & so forth.

    The full details of the black boxes are on public record.

    In addition full transciprts and the actual recordings from NORAD and FAA staff on 911 can be listened to here.

    You could go on forever.
    you sure can .. but does not mean they were false.

    similarly they could have said that godzilla took down the buildings, you'd have crazy N-CTs saying:
    "of course it happened, even though i never saw godzilla other than in movies"
    "you hate america because you don't believe in godzilla .... no i never actually saw him"


    i think people need to stop lumping all CTs together. just like all NCTs are not religious fanatics that believe in god/s

    nice touch there.
    ever think that by not questioning it we are dishonouring the memory of the sacrifice of the people who died on 911 and in the wars there after in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as all those who lost loved ones from 911 and the wars?

    since point 1 cannot be substantiated, point 2 is null and void.

    agreed snafuk35?

    What a wonderfully loaded question.

    The evidence that the passengers attacked the hijackers is overwhelming.

    When I made my post I backed it up with links that supported my assertion, something you never bother doing.

    Do you have a substantive point about United 93, or do you want another discussion about semantics?

    If Flight 93 was shot down, then who shot the plane down? Who is the pilot? Where was he based? Who is his commanding officer? Who ordered him to shoot the plane down? Why hasn't the pilot or commanding officer and another number of other people who would have to have known about gone to press and blown the story?

    Sacrifice :
    Sacrifice is the offering of food, objects or the lives of animals or people to the gods as an act of propitiation or worship.

    Oh.. you must be talking about the hijackers. :rolleyes:

    a friend of mine works for the US airforce. A colleague of his loaded missles onto 2 fighter jets and when the jets came back to base the missles were gone. make of that what you will!

    standard proceedure for fighter aircraft returning from a combat air patrol when in a war time scenario. dump ordinance in safe area make approach and land re arm or next sortie. try landing in combat conditions in bad weather perhaps and boom. those jets touch down near the centre of the runway an explosion like that puts air operations off for several hours while crews try and fix the runway safer just to dump ordinance.

    if the plane was shot down the US would have hailed it as another disaster averted and used it as a propaganda tool saying look how quick the air force responded. no the jet was purposefully driven into the ground by the passengers.

    the other point about the fuel aviation fuel is extremely hard to ignite. you can put a match to it and nothing. only the combustion chambers in the jet will ignite it and there are back valves to prevent fire balls in case of an engine fire or a crash landing. but seeing as the plane plowed head long into the ground i would say it all just vaporized instantly. it was a field anyway not a hgely wooded area. nothing really to burn down.

    Tell that to Cheney and Rumsfeld, ohh and the 9/11 commission, and this other fella.







  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,005 ✭✭✭Di0genes


    So your argument is based on Rumsfeld and Cheney incriminating themselves of mass murder on national tv and a volunteer fire fighter stating he didn't see the crash?

    Utterly pathetic. What about the other eyewitness testimony that directly refutes your claims?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,696 ✭✭✭Jonny7


    There's evidence on both sides.

    Its an incredibly hard and complex decision, but if the plane is a threat to kill even more people and there are no other alternatives - then I would believe any country with the capability would logically try to shoot the plane down, rather than risk further loss of life.

    Its a unique dilemma.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,827 ✭✭✭christmas2012


    It wasnt shot down,if it was it would have been well before it flew into the twin towers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,976 ✭✭✭✭humanji


    Flight 93 didn't crash into the towers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 131 ✭✭jumpjack


    Yes, let's start from scratch! :D

    No, I'm unsubscribing... :rolleyes:

    Theres literally no evidence that it was shot down. Witnesses saw it crash, dozens of them. The flight recorder confirms it. The FAA confirm it. A private jet near by did a fly pass. The plane wreckage buried into the soft ground. Had the been shot down at altitude the debris would be spread for miles (any claims about the debris field been spread for miles can been debunked because the people making the claim site the debris was found 9 miles away, use a route on roads, not a crow flies route). Finally the bravery of the passengers has been incredibly well documented in the phone calls, which were both recorded and relayed in personal accounts. The passengers of United 93 when they found out there had been other hijackings that day, and learnt of plan of the hijackers, and took their fate into their own hands understanding that the terrorists wanted to use the plane as weapon to kill other people.

    People who claim that the flight was shot down disrespect the memory of these people and their bravery.

    Not if it was in fact shot down... obviously.

    Do you have any facts to support the assertion that it was shot down?
