According to Dr. George Papcun, it wasn't possible to fabricate the phone calls. The "truthers" are so incredibly wrong that it's hard to cut them any slack.
Aggle's just trying to be generous; he's every bit as aware of the truther fallacy train as any of us here.
And in a sense, he
is correct: It
is indeed possible to perform a fakery of each individual element of the story. A hole is no problem to dig. Aircraft debris can be gotten from "boneyards". People can be killed and their remains planted elsewhere. And voices can be simulated, given enough time.
But... while Aggle is right in admitting that individual elements can be faked individually, he's also right about it being "SO much easier" to actually commit the crash as it stood. His point is that the devil is in the details, and anyone crying "faked evidence" has either glossed over or hasn't even considered the difficulty in actually faking the evidence. Dig a hole? Okay... but how is that going to be done ahead of time without anyone noticing? Think "they" (fill in the blank with whichever devious organization you want) just planted dynamite at the sight and faked 1. A plane flying over, and 2. The burning of the treeline at the crash site while they blew a hole into the ground? Or did they resort to more mundane methods, such as backhoes? If so, where are the 1. Tracks in photos of the crash site, and 2. Area residents who saw the equipment being trucked in?
Aircraft debris? Sure... but, now make sure it's all from one jet, and somehow transport it there without anyone noticing (contrary to RedIbis's whine about a single dumpster
i, 95% of the jet was recovered and returned to United Airlines, so that 95% had to be gotten there somehow. Unless truthers are claiming stealth trucks, it's reasonable to ask why no area residents saw this, put two-and-two together, and ran to the press). Oh, and make sure it's in exceptionally tiny pieces
and bury a good deal of it 15-some-odd feet into the ground. While you're at it, fake the flight data recorder info to place the jet in that area, as well as the cockpit voice recorder's recordings to fake a hijacking as well as a passenger revolt.
Kill the passengers? How'd they get all of them from the airports they were last seen at to wherever they were executed at without anyone spilling the beans? Let alone to the Shanksville site to spread their remains around the scene? On top of that, who's responsible for strewing the body parts all across the crash site without area residents noticing? Not a single Shanksville resident has come forwards to testify to unknown people prepping the crash site.
Voice simulation?
Here's where Papcun's rebuttal comes into play. And he's 100% right about that too.
While we're at all of this, who managed to fool the eyewitnesses, separately change all the radar recordings, and separately from that pay off or otherwise convince every single first responder to not blow the story?
Yes, this is obvious. But that was exactly Aggle-rithm's point: It's indeed entirely possible to fake things. But good luck putting it all together
and keeping uninvolved people from noticing.
That's yet another in the long line of reasons why conspiracy fantasy is bunk.
i. The famous "single dumpster" was not the totality of the debris. Its origin is a single image of debris that didn't fill up a dumpster brought for recovery purposes. What truthers do is insist on an image to "prove" aircraft debris, then claim incredulity that an entire passenger jet doesn't even fill a scrap dumpster. The reality they gloss over is that this was what was collected after the final recovery sweep, conducted when a passing storm shook debris out of trees nearby. Of course it didn't fill the dumpster. It was also nowhere near the totality of the wreckage.
