Why Flight 93?

[Dave Rogers]

Well come on can we really believe on 9/11 that sooo many amazing maneauveurs were pulled off in these planes....flight 175's amazing dive at the south tower...flight 77 flying 20 ft above the ground not even touching the lawn....and flight 93 flying upside down and dissapearing into the soft ground....come on when will people really say....Is This Possible....

What was amazing about 175 diving into the South Tower? From the videos it was quite clear that the pilot came very close to missing his target altogether. Not the action of a good pilot, it seems to me.

What was so difficult about flight 77 flying low across the lawn? Hanjour came in too low, hit some obstacles on the way, and nearly missed his target by hitting the ground too early. Again, not the action of a good pilot.

And finally, your comments about flight 93 are utterly ridiculous. Put me at the controls of a 757, with no experience whatsoever, and I could probably get the plane to turn upside down easily enough. Of course, I'd quite definitely crash the plane in doing so, but that's exactly what Jarrah did.

The normal formulation of the Texas Sharpshooter fallacy is that he draws rings around the bullet holes and claims he was aiming to hit the rings. You're drawing rings where the bullet holes aren't, then saying it's remarkable that the sharpshooter always missed.

whenever I have seen photos from airplane crashes there is just more debris from the plane....or more damage done to the ground......something catastrohpic happened there that day but there is no trace of it....

Ever been a real crash site? Here is account of what one looks like - came down 20 yrs
ago in my town. Walked the crash site later to mark body parts for coroner to recover

The police could not confirm the number, or identities, of the victims ''We're dealing with body parts, not bodies,'' Chief Joseph Ranney said. ''Identification will be very difficult.'' Airplane parts were scattered in small pieces throughout the site on Garrett Mountain.

At the site, at Rifle Camp Road and Washington Drive near the Great Notch Reservoir, Federal, police and fire investigators sifted through the remains. The parts of the plane were scattered beneath trees, shrubs and rocks, and the smell of jet fuel permeated the air. The residents of nearby homes and the condomnium complex said the explosion rattled their homes and the flames lighted the early morning sky.

Small pieces of aircraft, body parts scattered around. Massive fireball yet did not ignite
surrounding objects. Sound familar ? Just like Shanksville crash scene. This is from
Lear 35 which hit nose down at around 350 mph - that is 60% of Flight 93 speed

This is the real world Ben - not watching videos at mommy's.....

No its not. I have also read debunking 9/11 myths by popular mechanics. That book just wasnt very convincing. Anybody reccomend any other books.

I have a copy of that book. If there is an error just name the page number.
