Big planes seldom fall out of the sky ... but one did 10 years ago and changed Shanksville forever.


This guys seem in no doubt there was a Plane......

What a government shill!

Thanks for the link! I've met the chief once in NYC. Great guy. Very......humble.

Has a swagger about him that tells me he is very confident.

He reminds me of Andy Dufrane (sp?) from Shawshank Redemption. Like he doesn't have a care in the world. Walks softly, but carries a big stick.

I like the guy.

Counting down the time before the first guy comes in and quote mines the guy to make it sound like they believed no plane crashed in 3...2...1..

Obvious a NWO shill....

Anyone know how much we are playing him...?

... The smell of jet fuel and human remains is not something you ever forget.

This is some pretty grim stuff, folks. Kudos to all the first responders on that horrible day.

It's late, and have been grading tests all night, and thought "I could call the department and get the info via FOIA" but then, it hit me...... Wait, SVFD.....

I hate you! Felt like a dumbass.......

Some of the things the Fire Chief says that put various brands of truthers in their place:

...
spend the next two weeks on the site and become part of a six-week investigation ...
"We had a hazmat scene with jet fuel and human remains and the bits and pieces of the plane scattered about," Shaffer said. "... The smell of jet fuel and human remains is not something you ever forget."
...
"We only worked during the daylight hours," Shaffer said, noting that most of the work was recovery of plane parts and human remains.
...
Those working the site were flagging fragments of the plane and using red flags to signify human remains
...
Currently, he has about 45 members on the roster with about 22 who actively respond to all calls.

So either Shaffer tells the truth: There was an incredibly thorough investigation, there were plane parts, and there were human body remains, or not and he and at least 22 of his men are in on it.
Truthers, take your pick!


Some interesting episode:

That's why everyone's nerves were rattled when a large commercial jet flew low over the site and circled later in the day on Sept. 11, 2001.

"We didn't know if we were under attack again or what it was," Shaffer said, recalling that he thought all aircraft had been grounded. "It scared the crap out of us."

It turns out to be federal authorities out of Chicago who were retracing the route Flight 93 had taken from Newark to the crash site. The jet later landed elsewhere in Pennsylvania and those officials drove to the site to continue their investigation.

That will surely awaken truthers' imagination!

For obvious reasons, the FBI was the lead agency on the investigation, but agents never pushed local authorities aside, keeping them in the loop the whole time, Shaffer said.

Logistics became an important part of the operation as the scene shifted from an emergency to a recovery and investigation.

"We only worked during the daylight hours," Shaffer said, noting that most of the work was recovery of plane parts and human remains.

"Only eight percent of the remains were recovered," the chief said. "That's why the whole site remains the final resting place of those on Flight 93."

Truthers, if he's lying, why would he say only 8% of the remains were recovered?

Why not 80% or 100%?
