Does this "fact" stand up to scrutiny? Only if you support the FBI's and NIST statements and call two firefighters liars.
Apparently the black boxes were found at the site. You can read the accont by firefighters
Mike Bellone and Nicholas De Masi here. http://www.counterpunch.org/lindorff12202005.html
N.Y. City firefighters, Mike Bellone and Nicholas De Masi, claimed in 2004 that they had found three of the four boxes, and that Federal agents took them and told the two men not to mention having found them.
A source at the National Transportation Safety Board, the agency that has the task of deciphering the date from the black boxes retrieved from crash sites-including those that are being handled as crimes and fall under the jurisdiction of the FBI-says the boxes were in fact recovered and were analyzed by the NTSB."Off the record, we had the boxes," the source says. "You'd have to get the official word from the FBI as to where they are, but we worked on them here."
Mark Roberts is in a predicament. By stating the black boxes were not found via the statements of the FBI and NTSB he is accusing Mr. Bellone and Mr. De Masi of lying.
But why would two firefighters, heroes in most peoples eyes, lie about something as important as this?
I'm curious though as to why Mark would leave this important account out of his
9/11 Aircraft Parts and Contents Recovered in NYC .
Mark does do a great job of listing accounts of all of the trivial things that were found by people on the scene, including seat cushions, tickets, airplane parts (sorry no planers), etc, but fails to include the accounts of Bellone and De Masi. Why? Fallacy of Omission? Poor research? Or is it to support the official theory and the statements of Federal Agencies?
I will recant this comment if Mr. Bellone and Mr. De Masi have retracted their original story.
