1. Well.....
...I'm as much of a tin hat wearer as the next guy, but I have a friend who witnessed the crash, and is certain it WAS a plane. Experts can be trotted out to sya what they think SHOULD happen when a plane slams into a building, but really, how do they know? There are not a lot of historical examples to look to.

3. Why not an attempt to recreate, then?
I know, I know--money. (sigh) But isn't that how the police try to work out ballistics questions on a much smaller scale than this?

12. Oh but there's no need for an investigation. We already KNOW
Edited on Fri Apr-14-06 11:57 AM by petgoat
who did it, and we know they did it because they hate our freedoms. We looked into
our hearts and asked Jesus and Jesus told us they did it.

An investigation would only take resources away from the War on Terror. Are you on
the side of the terrorists? Why do you hate America?

6. Just... show us where the wings went... or why they didn't hit the
building.

Look at the dent the airliners made in the WTC... and why didn't they make the same type of impact mark on the pentagon?

11. Why is it the pentagon crash we only have what people said they saw
when they have the video?

Why won't they release the video it only proves their story?

Why would this bunch want to leave the impression that they are hiding something?

There are just too many questions, which cannot be answered with what is already known.

PS. The five frames don't count because the between them is missing.

One more question are we to believe that Casinos and NASA have/had better surveillance equipment then the pentagon?

Think high end...

19. Is your friend a better witness than the others?
"Steve Patterson, 43, said he was watching television reports of the World Trade Center being hit when he saw a silver commuter jet fly past the window of his 14th-floor apartment in Pentagon City. The plane was about 150 yards away, approaching from the west about 20 feet off the ground, Patterson said. He said the plane, which sounded like the high-pitched squeal of a fighter jet, flew over Arlington cemetery so low that he thought it was going to land on I-395. He said it was flying so fast that he couldn't read any writing on the side. The plane, which appeared to hold about eight to 12 people, headed straight for the Pentagon but was flying as if coming in for a landing on a nonexistent runway, Patterson said." Washington Post


There were many witnesses who did NOT see a 757 but something else.

So which witness was "correct"?

You can see why countless people want an independent, thorough investigation.

2. Props. Such props. (offers a large tray overflowing with props)
Uh, props as in "Boy, you kick ass" and not, stage props. (cough)

Brilliant. Easy to watch, kept interesting and quick, very easy to understand.

Extra super special points for use of the Dust Brothers and MM. Excellent taste in music always helps : ) That alone will make most of my near and extended crew watch it just to see what was done with the music--and then they'll have the information in their heads.

Fantastic stuff. I'm sending it to EVERYONE.

So what's the Official Reply to all these questions been? So far it seems to be a whole lotta "Nyuh uh! Fraid not!"

4. If there is nothing to hide at the Pentagon on 911
why don't we see the hit over and over again as we do the twin towers? Why did the FBI collect all security camera films and not release them? Just a question. Peace

8. I think there was something to hid. I am becoming one of the mihop
There is just too many questions that have not been answered. My last boss's son is fluent in Vietnamese and was stationed at the pentagon as an interpretor that day but wasn't there yet. Haven't got to talk to him myself though.

7. Speculation only
If someone wished to "take over" the nation within only a few years, they would need the Military to "jump through the hoops"! Making them a part of the attack would allow any dictatorial government to use them at will!

14. As part of the discussion
I'll say that I found the video disgusting, irrespective of the substantive issue.

Tragedy as pornography.

Disgusting.

17. DemInDistress
you'll notice that in my post above I say "I'll say that I found the video disgusting, irrespective of the substantive issue".

I was not addressing the underlying issues.

I was merely decrying the fact that such a huge tragedy is reduced to fast edit cuts, sexy music, arressting graphics etc. Indeed, you yourself comment on how appealing the music is.

That to me raises it to the level of pornogrphy: no value other than to arouse and titilate.



Cheers.

20. Yes
DemInDistress I have no problem at all asking where the tapes are. I think that is a very good question, and thankfully is something we can agree on.


Cheers.
