I challenge CompusMentus' Post as being pure PROPAGANDA, bordering on a PSYOP example
On the morning of September 11 2001, United Airlines Flight 175 was flying to Los Angeles from Boston and was hijacked by Islamic terrorists. Shortly after taking off it was deliberately flown into the South Tower of the World Trade Centre, New York.
59 passengers and crew were on board (not counting the hijackers).
All were killed.
UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT 175 CREW
Captain Victor Saracini, 51, was the pilot of Flight 175. He lived in Lower Makefield Township, Pennsylvania. He was a veteran of the Navy. He left behind a wife, Ellen; and two daughters, Kirsten and Brielle.
On Aug. 29, Saracini celebrated his 51st birthday, his 13-year-old daughter Kirsten wrote her father a poem, “Years Gone By,” which ended:
“And for all the years that come, I know one thing will never change,
You will always be my daddy and I will always feel the same. I love you.”

Immutable facts. Unassailable reason.
Compus
Greetings Victims' Family Members,
I'm sure I don't have to tell you that Compus' claim of "Immutable facts. Unassailable reason." is both wrong and insulting to the memory of victims.
I am here addressing this reply specifically to the Family Members of 9/11 victims and most especially to that specific category of them who family members of passengers onboard Flight 175, thus making this specifically relevant to this thread.
Compus' above quoted post is blatant propaganda, completely and utterly running rough shod over any semblance of respect for victims, most especially victims of alleged Flight 175.
Compus has completely disregarded all of real facts concerning victims and, in particular, the way in which
the family members of victims were COMPENSATED (or not, as the case may be).
The most important thing to victims family members is the showing of genuine respect, consisting in integrity in determining what happened, fairness in compensating them and non-exploitation of their losses.
Let me put that in list form so that it is easier for resistant posters to grasp:
Elements of Genuine Respect for Victims Family Members:
1--Integrity in determining what happened.
2--Fairness in compensating victims families.
3--Non-exploitation of their losses.
There is not a single, solitary hint of recognition of any of those 3 elements in anything that Compus posted.
The overall sentiment that is usually expressed by Victims Family Members, according to a legitimately conducted study, and not some stupid daily newspaper article, is as follows:
"I’ve discovered the system doesn’t work. I’m outraged. Not just that
my husband was murdered, but that three years later, nothing has
been done . . ..What 9/11 represented was a massive example of how
things don’t work. We have to be willing to stand up and fix this."

The above is an expression of where Victims Family Members are really coming from.
As to the specific subset of such victims consisting in
Flight 175 victims family members, there are a lot of anamolies that are unresolved, as far as I can tell.
I here encourage discussion amongst posters, lurkers and victims family members on the following questions:
Is it true that of the 65 people who are listed as dying on Flight 175, only 18 are listed in the Social Security Death Index (SSDI) (28%)?
Is it true that of those 65 victims, only three are on the 9-11 Compensation Fund list:
Michael C. Tarrou
Gloria Debarrera
Timothy Ward

The same source mentioned immediastely above also references Flight 175 victim family member Ellen Mariani. She is someone who bypassede the 9-11 Victims Compensation Fund and brought suit. She apparently encountered enormous resistance and did not get compensated.
She tells her own story at the following link:
http://www.911truth.org/article.php?story=20070213192528280
For those posters who are interested in
actual fact-based discussion, you might find of interest what Ellen Mariani has to say about the way in which the 9-11 Victims Compensation Fund served mostly as a way to keep victims quiet.
Excerpt:
"With the help of lobbyists, these people presented a bill called The Air Transportation Safety and Stabilization Act. On September 22, 2001, President Bush signed it into law. The Act established an Air Transportation Stabilization Board that could issue up to $10 billion in Federal credit. Most officials never read the bill, but were encouraged to sign it.
On December 21, 2001, the same Washington DC officials had also put together a September 11th Victim Compensation Fund to pay us for the terrible losses of the lives of loved ones on that tragic day. No court trials would be needed and there would be no attorney fees, so they said. But to receive “compensation,” the victims’ families must sign off that they would never sue the airlines or the government. This rule did not take into account whatever facts the future might reveal as to what really happened or why their loved ones were not protected from the air disasters. After all, incidents of terror and plane crashes had been going on since the 1970’s. To me and many others that “compensation” appeared to be “hush money,” not “help money."
Ms. Mariani's calling attention to the airlines receiving public money to the tune of $10billion is very interesting. Small wonder, then, that the airlines haven't said much. They, too, received "hush money."
Compus didn't post any of this information.
Extra added bonus question:
Is Ed Felt listed on the 9-11 Compensation Fund list?
Come on Victims Family Members, please speak up.
