Now, do you have any evidence to support your case that does not rely entirely on mis-interpreted witness statements?
The Pesident of the United States says he watched it on TV at the school.....and you say he didn’t, that he imagined it.....that’s what it comes down to Mark.....he said it. He misrepresented the facts. He even dreamed up a hokey folksy line about what a terrible pilot the guy was.
They are always expecting us to educate them but they never listen to the answers.
Educate me D, tell me why these officials made these observations regarding Shanksville.
>> "This crash was different. There was no wreckage, no bodies, and no noise."
- Somerset County Coroner Wallace Miller [1]
"I was looking for anything that said tail, wing, plane, metal. There was nothing."
- Photographer Scott Spangler [2]
"I was amazed because it did not, in any way, shape, or form, look like a plane crash."
- Patrick Madigan, commander of the Somerset barracks
of the Pennsylvania State Police [3]<<
I actually watched the Coroner make this statement on a news feed at the site on the day. I have not forgotten the plethora of first hand testimony and I do not discount it because a decade has passed.
That's a pretty heavy burden to place on the precise wording of what is after all not a technical document nor even a public notice from the WTC but merely a newspaper's description of the wording of a public notice from the WTC. Do you have any supporting evidence to make that stance seem any less unreasonable?
Jack everything other than first hand testimony relies on a source. I can only say that the London Telegraph is a tabloid of long standing and there was no retraction or rebuff. Re the “technical document” is that akin to the Hockey Graph that governments legislated carbon abatement laws around. The one found to be totally fabricated towards an outcome to suit the greenies?
LOL, you bring woo, and you don't know it. ?
BN, I did read your entire post, but I will only ask one question...what is woo, a few have used it, is it just this forum that employs it (I expect it means spin) or is it used on other forums?
Since they did "withstand them" and only collapsed after an hour of uncontrolled fire, your point?
Rob it was simply acknowleging that the WTC extoled that the towers were impact resistant. Some here commented that it was not a design feature, that the ability to resist came as a consequence of the design....whats the difference...WTC acknowlege that they were....someone asked me to qualify it.
Well that makes little to no sense. Witness testimony is trumped by all manner of documentary and physical evidence. I for one discount witness statements especially in a setting in which they will be highly prone to subjectivity , hyperbole, and metaphor. If you choose otherwise you simply bolster my opinion of your opinion.
Jay you are correct, witness testimony is not worth the electricity it cost to generate it...that is why it is the most valid testimony in our legal system. The only way to rebuke witness testimony is to show that there is an agenda to the statements other than just an account of experienced events.
Why would all the testimony on the day by uninterested parties there by chance be highly prone to subjectivity, hyperbole, and metaphor?
I would suggest you read Animal's post above, and since you are fond of argumentum ad youtubeum why don't you look up Leslie Robertson's description of the whole "design for aircraft" crap? And by the way, it is poor form to alter members' names.
No more Joe for you sport....thanks SlyJoe.....
Perhaps you're missing the key features of a progressive collapse.
You can count the number of progressive collapses on your fingers Craig....then we get three in the one place within 8 hours.....Lots of firsts with 911.
