Why Flight 93?

No, by law audio recordings of the CVR are not allowed to be released publically. Only transcripts are permitted. This web site explains the reasons as follows:
Didn't they release the recorders with Atta on them? I know I heard it somewhere.

Why? What's the basis for making it hard to believe - what assumptions are at work? Wouldn't the distance the debris travelled depend greatly on the prevailing weather conditions and the nature of the debris?
Of course, and we know the winds were about 10mph. How long does it take debris to go 2.5 miles at 10mph if they go in a straight line?
Obviously they did not go that far in a straight line, they would have to have arced and been carried. Which if you follow the laws of momentum, that would have taken longer. In which case, the blast would have been the biggest factor.

Wouldn't whether nor not the cloud indicates a terrible explosion depend greatly on the size of the cloud and how long after the explosion any images were taken?
The report said around five seconds. Factor in distance, time, volume, and height reached. The cloud has already 'rolled' into a mushroom and had lost form, and the 'stem' or 'push' had already began to fade before this picture was taken, as is evident through is thin and stringy stem. That would indicate, to me anyway, that the explosion had a moderate volume, with minimal energy.
Otherwise the stem would have been much thicker forcing more rolling from the push into the mushroom. The mushroom in flight 93 photo is not pronounced (Pronounced as in 'rolling up'), which makes me further deduce that the explosion was not that powerful, or taken much later than the reported five seconds. (Watch some footage of ordinance going off in Iraq and you'll understand what I am talking about. Stop frames at 5 seconds after a blast)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_Lcjfdra2c&mode=related&search=
That is the energy from one 2,ooolb bomb. Note it says three, but when the last hit the guy says ANOTHER dud. 2 and 3 failed.
But note how long the mushroom remained rolled and kept climbing with an unbroken stem. That is energy!

That would require a frame of reference, would it not? There would have to be some kind of expectation about what size of an explosion does to what kind of terrain - in which case, where do the expectations come from?
Logic, deduction, seeing bombs going off, etc.
 
Firemen were not at the impact when 93 hit! That proves you cannot think vs my reading problems, which seem to be fine.

The fuel was ignited at impact due to the fact the engines were working and the core of the engine is at 700 degrees C, auto ignition of jet fuel is 450. Fire burnt all around in the direction of momentum, of the fuel.

The trees in PA were not dry (if the trees had been dry the fire would have been out of control), the fire went out, firemen were then on the scene to put out the rest. New accounts suck, you have to use more sources than your poorly cherry picked junk.

The smoke from 93 on the famous photo is exactly what a jet fuel impact crash looks like there are many examples.[qimg]http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/imagehosting/124474675780c17c94.jpg[/qimg]
B-52 smoke, AirBus smoke, 93 smoke, all jet fuel! Two accidents, one on purpose.

What is your point? If it is to display poor research of 9/11 truth, then you have won.

I'll assume that the middle pic was not altered by you. Seeing that it clearly has blue tint over it. And still, both are darker than the 93 by a long shot....even with the blue edited on the middle one.
 
Why would it be hard to understand how debris could end up 8 miles away? Of course we wouldn't be trying to mislead people into thinking that debris was heavy plane parts and things of that nature would we? What debris specifically are we talking about at 8 miles. Because if we're talking about paper, then it's pretty dishonest to try to imply it is something that wouldn't likely be able to blow for miles.

So I am still wondering what is the exact debris that was raining down on the people at the lake (and I guess a lucky miracle they didn't get killed by the debris?) and what is the actual debris found 8 miles away? Anyone can say these things to try to add drama. But what are we really talking about here.

And if one did read the CVR transcript they would see that there clearly were alarms going off.

Read witness statements regarding debris.
Yeah, the CVR did show it, but does the FDR confirm it? No.
 
Sorry, I see no such split in the trees from the road path, at least not after 1:36 of the video.

The YouTube video is of low quality, so it's hard to see much of the necessary detail. But the shot at 2:00 is to me obviously done on a long lens, and long focal lengths compress the apparent depth of a shot. It makes the background seem much closer to anything in the foreground than it really is. The shot at 2:06 looks like it was shot on a wider lens than the prior shot given that much more of the surrounding terrain can be seen.

There's a shot from the movie Poltergeist which strikingly illustrates the way lens focal length affects how a shot looks. Towards the end, the camera is behind the mother as she begins to run down the hallway. As she does so, the hallway appears to lengthen. That's a simple camera trick done by starting with the camera lens zoomed in which compresses the background and makes the hallway end seem close to the mother. Then as she runs the camera dollies in as the lens is simultaneously zoomed out to a wide angle setting. The mother is kept at just the right distance to make her appear the same size throughout the shot, but the hallway appears to lengthen as the lens is moved to a wide angle setting.

Another point to consider is that there are edits in the video. It is quite possible that the different shots were not all from the same vantage point. A cameraman is going to get different shots from different angles if at all possible so as to give the editor choices in editing. So one should not assume at all that the shots at 2:00 and 2:06 are from the same camera position, especially with a cut in between them. We also don't know how much time transpired between each of the individual shots; there could be differences of minutes to hours between them. The editor who cut that segment would be able to say how much different footage was assembled together to make that report. But one most definitely should not assume the shots were taken close together timewise, or that the shots of background scenery are even in chronological order.


You do not see a break in the tree line at 2:06 in the video? Then you need a new monitor. Seriously.
You cannot argue the angle because the impact crater is to the right of the shot. Follow the overhead picture. What is south east of the impact...the road heading south.
 
Check http://www.pulitzer.org/year/1997/beat-reporting/works/737-2/
for the 1991 Colorado Springs crash. A 737 went pretty much straight in--very close to the same angle--into a City park. Not the lack of burnt stuuff on the ground in the few pictures there.
Most of the fuel sprayed into the air, and burned off there. very little on the ground.
The park it went into is surrounded by houses. People could be seen in the aircraft through the windows. Most of the debris was in the ground, except for the stuff that went airborne at the crash.
Very similar occurences. Nopbody shot either one down.

We've been through all this before--see Killtown thread--It takes a special kind of idiocy to maintain that anything other than a high-speed crash of ain airplane in a near-inverted condition occurred at Shanksville

This looks like flight 93's crash site? You cannot be serious.

10mph winds? At what altitude? On the ground of up hight? Which is it? Or are we to believe that wind blows at only 1 speed from bottom to top of the atmosphere? And what time was the debris required to make it to where it did? I imagine given enough time, some could end up on the other side of the country. It's all relative.

According to the witness testimony, that was backed by physical evidence, it is not relative.
According to them, debris were coming down a few seconds after impact.
Perhaps that is why they thought a boat had blown up at the lake they were on, because the debris were falling so quickly after the explosion.

So let's get this straight. They saw the explosion. You think it may have been shot down in the sky. yet these people who saw the explosions and claim debris came raining down on them didn't see the plane explode in the sky? They didn't see a big fireball with black smoke in the sky?

And we're back to eyewitness testimony again. Now did they claim that the debris literally fell right at their spot? Or are you just assuming that part?

And again, which debris? List some of the debris we're talking about. Because you're using it as a generic term to refer to everything and apply the same rules to everything, while different types of debris are going to have different characteristics, are they not?

So which debris fell right on them after a couple seconds? Was this the paper? Was it part of the plane? Was it dirt? And again, if this is something suspicious, then what would cause it to happen? Did they plant explosives near the lake now? How about following the clues instead of simply poking holes.

Right now the evidence shows that the eyewitness accounts are clearly not very reliable. But yet you seem to think it trumps all other evidence. You say their claim is backed up by evidence. Please show us the evidence that the debris got there in a few seconds or that it couldn't have done so. Please show us this evidence of debris that ended up there. The specifics of the debris is the most important factor in this issue, yet you refuse to share it with us. You aren't making some assumptions here are you?
 
DA, you need to take a lot more care reading your sources. Nowhere in your links does it say that shirts or books travelled over 2 miles, it says that debries was scattered over a large area including books and clothing, and that debris was reported drifting down like confetti over Indian Lake 2.5 miles away. It also does say large garbage bags, it simply says bags. They could have just as easily been supermarket bags. Much of what you have been posting is pretty much you putting CT words into the witnesses mouths rather then looking at what they actually said or wrote.

Lets remove the blue screen put over the middle pic, shall we? What does it look like without the edit job?

You sure it doesn't?

And what are you implying? That they forged the FDR to make it contradict the CVR? Please explain what you're trying to get at.

*yawn*

Did I imply anything? No. I stated a fact. The CVR said it did, the FDR said it did not. That is a fact, not an implication.

Did I say the FDR was more reliable information? Did I say the CVR was?
No. Read what is said, not into what is said.
 
No we cannot. Who said the plane was forced down? Maybe I am reading too much into that statement. How exactly was it 'forced' down?
I was under the impression that they chose to dive into the ground because they feared people would get into the cockpit.
At least that is how I read the transcripts.
Is there an audio of that event, BTW? I've only found transcripts.

And debris were scattered over a vast distance, up to 8 miles away.
I find that hard to believe. Note that people noted earlier about dew on the ground. Paper traveling on the ground getting wet would have gotten heavier.
The mushroom cloud does not look like a terrible explosion to me, and yes, I've seen many.
Nor does the theory of an extremely powerful explosion seem evident because of the impact area evidence. The first shots (before the digging) looks like someone 'drew' the plane impact into the ground.
(I'm not saying they did that)
A massive explosion would have effected the ground more. Imagine an explosion powerful enough to launch debris miles away. Also I find it hard to believe that the impact made a perfect plane sized hole.
Things that hit the ground that hard tend to leave ground damage many times the size of the object that hit it.
Inertia, kinetic force, etc.

You do realize, do you not, that this post - like many of your other posts - exhibits extremely poor rational or critical thinking, and exhibits classic conspiracist/twoofer behaviour?

For instance, you leapt on the word "forced" as if it had some anomolous meaning, which it does not, and then added several descriptors to the rest of your post, which uk_dave never used, as though he had actually used them.

E.g.: "extremely powerful explosion", "massive explosion", "explosion powerful enough to..." none of which uk_dave said, and the latter of which you use to argue from incredulity.

Moreover, you have become increasingly shrill, and you have repeatedly made - and continue to make - arguments from incredulity; you repeatedly insist that others do your research for you; you repeatedly demand that others provide evidence and conduct calculations to answer your questions whilst failing to provide any yourself outside of a low-resolution youtube video and unsourced newspaper reports that you have deliberately to feed a conspiracist .

Also, you have employed logical fallacies in so many instances that I suspect that even the inimitable Arkan_Wolfshade would have to spend an entire evening pointing them all out.

In addition, you continue to repeat questions that have previously been answered. It's as though - just like the vast majority of troofer trolls who visit here - you just don't bother reading the answers when you're given them.

Also, you have made in this thread numerous assertions that you have searched numerous sources (without identifying them); you have made numerous assertions of fact without providing any sources for those alleged facts other than you “read it somewhere” or that you “heard it somewhere”, etc., and yet you expect others to "refute" your unnamed, unsourced claims with appropriate evidence and backup. Sorry, but other posters are not to fetch and carry for you.

While it is perfectly acceptable to occasionally refer to something one read somewhere or heard somewhere, one ought not expect it to be given much weight or credence without the source being identified, and one certainly ought not demand that others refute such claims at your beck and call. Yet, you have made such assertions and such demands repeatedly in this thread.

All of the above is not "playing devil's advocate'; it is much more akin to trolling.

Have at it. I, for one, am not going to play your game.

Wolves bite noses as punishment for puppies. :D
I'm a fan of wolves myself.
I got to deal with one at a Vet one time. He was huge. His K'9's were two and a half inches long. I did not know they were that big.
He was 130lbs.

Link to the large bag and all that.

I'm not going to break this up point by point, it will take too long.
I asked about the 'forced down' because I wanted to clear of his meaning. Like the people forced them to crash. If you do it on purpose yourself, then did you 'force' the crash? That is why I wanted clairty to the meaning behind forced.
Do you understand now?

And all you do is come here running your mouth about the faults in my post. Well, refute them or move on.
I have demanded no one do any research for me. I said if they have questions about something then it is on them to answer it.
Like the fire being light and weak as opposed to dark and thick. Dark and thick being the case in smoke from every other plane crash I have ever seen.
If someone is saying they know there are different causes for lighter smoke, like that from the flight 93 picture, then why do you think I have to prove their opinion for them?

And about the youtube video...please tell me you do not see green and thick forest in the video. What did you see?
 
This took one search attempt.

I was going by your previous links, it's not my job to look up sources to support your claims


I see that make it sound like the engine was naer the blown debris, it wasn't. It was about 500-700 yards downhill in the direction of impact. Bouncing it would have taken about 1-2 seconds to get there. The lighter debris that were found 6-8 miles away were in the direction of the wind, travelling about 70-80° to the left of the flight path.
