A plane going down and also described as "exploded" aren't mutually exclusive. I'd describe a good portion of the plane crashes I've seen as appearing to be "exploded"; that doesn't mean they were shot down. It just means that the plane is in pieces as far as I can tell. I think it's perfectly logical.
A shoot down also makes perfect sense to me or a bomb going off in the plane which would account for the miles wide debris field.
White plane source from the NORAD tapes?Since the whole plane is in the ground, the white plane asked by ATC to look for 93, saw the crater and said the plane exploded.
Excellent question as to the source of Powell, Fleisher's, and a CBS news report, Arlington After Action Report as well as the 9/11 Com report that commented on that crash site. The FAA new pretty precisely where 93 crashed: Command Center: O.K. Uh, there is now on that United 93.Not necessarily, what id powell source for hearing of a crash north east of camp david? if he heard it from NORAD this cant be considered confirmation because its the same source
FAA Headquarters: Yes.
Command Center: There is a report of black smoke in the last position I gave you, fifteen miles south of Johnstown.
FAA Headquarters: From the airplane or from the ground?
Command Center: Uh, they're speculating it's from the aircraft.
FAA Headquarters: Okay.
Command Center: Uh, who, it hit the ground. That's what they're speculating, that's speculation only.
Source: 9/11 Commission Report
Granted it could all be just one big mix up but it makes for excellent discussion either way.
