Penultimate Amazing
I dont think any of those deliberately lie
Claim: An air traffic controller reported that they thought flight 77 was a military plane.
Truth: The full quote was referring to the unsafe way the plane was flying, not that it was impossible for a civilian plane to fly like that. "The speed, the maneuverability, the way that he turned, we all thought in the radar room, all of us experienced air traffic controllers, that that was a military plane you don't fly a 757 in that manner. It's unsafe."
That's a lie by ommission.
Claim, Flight 77 managed to tear 5 light poles completely out of the ground,
Without damaging either the wings or the light poles themselves.
Truth: We don’t know that the wings were undamaged, since they crashed into the Pentagon fractions of a second later. There are pictures of the light poles, however, which show them broken and twisted
Its lieing if you just make it up.
Claim: The only damage to the outer wall of the Pentagon was a single hole, no more than 16 feet in diameter.
Truth: The hole was approximately 90 feet wide. The 16 foot measurement was only achieved by looking at pictures where the rest of the hole was obscured by smoke and foam from the firefighters.
My favorite since the 90-100 feet of missing first floor wall is so bloody obvious that using only photos that obscure it has to be dishonest.
Do I have to go on?
