Capt. Daniel Davis, U.S. Army – Former U.S. Army Air Defense Officer and NORAD Tac Director. Decorated with the Bronze Star and the Soldiers Medal for bravery under fire and the Purple Heart for injuries sustained in Viet Nam. Also served in the Army Air Defense Command as Nike Missile Battery Control Officer for the Chicago-Milwaukee Defense Area.

Former Senior Manager at General Electric Turbine (jet) Engine Division (15 years). Private pilot.
* Statement to this website 3/23/07: "As a former General Electric Turbine engineering specialist and manager and then CEO of a turbine engineering company, I can guarantee that none of the high tech, high temperature alloy engines on any of the four planes that crashed on 9/11 would be completely destroyed, burned, shattered or melted in any crash or fire. Wrecked, yes, but not destroyed. Where are all of those engines, particularly at the Pentagon? If jet powered aircraft crashed on 9/11, those engines, plus wings and tail assembly, would be there.
Additionally, in my experience as an officer in NORAD as a Tactical Director for the Chicago-Milwaukee Air Defense and as a current private pilot, there is no way that an aircraft on instrument flight plans (all commercial flights are IFR) would not be intercepted when they deviate from their flight plan, turn off their transponders, or stop communication with Air Traffic Control. No way! With very bad luck, perhaps one could slip by, but no there's no way all four of them could!
Finally, going over the hill and highway and crashing into the Pentagon right at the wall/ground interface is nearly impossible for even a small slow single engine airplane and no way for a 757. Maybe the best pilot in the world could accomplish that but not these unskilled "terrorists".
Attempts to obscure facts by calling them a "Conspiracy Theory" does not change the truth. It seems, "Something is rotten in the State."

wonderful post ron
especially after all your ranting in defense of my claims you are a debunker aimed at nothing but spin.
i guess my little thread (which ive now removed) wasnt the final nail; apparently you've got a nailgun full of ammo and are nailing yourself in from within your own coffin. a miraculous feat.
if you are so sensitive about the names i call you, stop provoking me.
otherwise i just have to call a spade a spade. debunker.
i suppose you have personal qualifications and credentials that outrank Capt. Daniel Davis, so as to be able to call him an idiot.
what are those exactly? -

You seem to think that calling someone a "debunker" is an insult or bad thing. Hell, I have no problem acknowledging that I debunk unsupported, illogical crap like the conspiracy nonsense.
Thank you for the title. -

Debunkers are scientific skeptics who attempt to disprove and pursue what they consider to be false, unscientific, bizarre or abnormal claims. The ultimate intent of the debunking, according to some, is conclusively to disprove the validity of an event, theory, and/or phenomenon by exposing it as nonsense. According to Wiktionary, debunk means To discredit, or expose to ridicule the falsehood or the exaggerated claims of something.
Topics that many debunkers focus on include U.F.O.s, claimed paranormal phenomena, alternative medicine, research outside mainstream science, or pseudoscientific subjects. The term debunker is applied when a person functions as an activist and performs research, writes articles, holds speeches, conducts seminars, or engages in other activities with the specific intent of disproving a dubious, bizarre, or abnormal claim, such as those about U.F.O.s or other paranormal phenomena, and hopefully conclusively disproves the validity of the event and/or object.
As a slang term, debunking is the act of disproval of a proposal or theory, generally in an academic or scientific sense. The term debunk originated in 1923, when American novelist William Woodward (1874-1950) used it to mean to "take the bunk out of things."
Often the term "debunkery" is not limited to arguments about scientific validity. It can also be used in a more general sense at attempts to discredit any opposing point of view, such as that of a political opponent. However, the further debunkery is removed from objective argument of fact, the more likely it is to become just another form of propaganda. The TV show (as of 2007) MythBusters debunks current urban legends and myths. -

Re: Former Military Officer Comes out for 9/11 Truth
Sat, March 24, 2007 - 10:56 AMSo why is being a debunker a bad thing, particularly when the things debunked are a load of crap? Crap SHOULD be debunked, otherwise the gullible are mislead into wasting their time giving it credibility.
Criticizing someone for trying to be rational and bring evidence into a discussion is just an expression of a committment to irrationality. -

Well, that could be said of any kind of argumentation. Unfortunately for you, what I've presented are objective facts that you've never even attempted to refute. The video showing major sections of the North Tower still falling over 30 seconds after the collapse began is an objective fact contradicting the "near free fall" myth. Google searches failing to find your preferred meaning of "pull it" in the demo indutry is an objective fact. Three established demo authorities all contradicting your asserted meaning of "pull it" is an objective fact. Pictures of smoke coming out of WTC7 is an objective fact. WTC6 being literally pulled down with cables is an objective fact. Pictures of debris falling faster than the collapse of the towers is an objective fact. All these objective facts have been presented contradicting your cherished fantasies. But you haven't begun to try to refute any of these objective facts, and have instead spent your time trying to change the subject or engaging in personal attacks.
Why can't you answer these objective facts?
Simple. You can't. -

Completely destroyed? They weren't.
Completely burned up? They weren't.
Completely shattered? They were smashed to pieces, but components were seen relatively intact.
Completely melted? They weren't.
So good.
Electric turbines aren't aircraft engines by the way. Just so you know.
Regarding the interceptions - well, they weren't intercepted, the question is why and there are answers that don't include the massive leap of faith that a government conspiracy of self harm would require.
And sorry mate, but it was definately a full on airliner that hit the pentagon. The 'no plane' story, ironically, doesn't fly.
He's just presenting an unqualified opinion, JUST an opinion, that's all. He doesn't lend any additional credibility to anything. Just as Ron says, it just proves that military people can be stupid too. Living near two garrison towns I already knew this.
Isaac Newton, perhaps the most pre-eminent genius of the last thousand years, was an alchemist, a Christian and a magician. Even seemingly smart people (let alone military people) can fall for stupid shit. -

oh, so you are in possession of evidence from the Pentagon that no-one else has seen, remnants of both RollsRoyceRB211-535E4B twin engines? no pieces of fuselage were found, and no marks from the alleged 757 wings hitting were ever visible.
because the official party line is that they were vaporized from the heat of the explosion, which would be the first time anything like it would have occurred.
tracking the tail numbers:
sept10.1accesshost.com/N334AA.html
In looking at the BTS data for N334AA on September 10th, flight 198 arrives in San Fransisco, then is shown leaving SFO to Boston (BOS). In looking at the Boston arrivals, the data shows that the plane never made it there.
The data shows all 0's for the arrival time and "unknown" for the tail number.
This is the normal wzy the BTS displays a flight that did not arrive.
I checked to see if the flight may have been cancelled, or diverted.
Since it was an overnight flight, i used both september 10th and sept 11th data.
The data does show that it was cancelled for september 11th
The first entry, flight 12, shows also, as not arriving.
In the Betty Ong call, she first described her plane as being flight 12, she said it twice, before the (operator,supervisor?) corrected her.
This becomes important, as the bts data shows...
321AA arrives in BOS from LAX at 21:33 as flight 12 -on the 10th

Simple Math demonstrate that the Official 9/11 Account is a Fabrication
by Elias Davidsson
www.globalresearch.ca 29 April 2005
The URL of this article is: globalresearch.ca/articles/DAV504A.html
The term “official 9/11 account” refers to the account of the events of Sept. 11, 2001, as presented in June 2004 by the Commission of Inquiry appointed by President George W. Bush, and complemented by other official documents issued by US government agencies. This account includes various details, such as identities of the alleged hijackers, identities of aircraft, timelines and other data used to prove that the crime of 9/11 was perpetrated by the named individuals under the orders or the inspiration of Osama bin Laden and other al Qaeda leaders.
It can be demonstrated by two straightforward mathematical techniques that the official acccount on 9/11 is simply not true.
The first method uses boolean algebra. The other method is based on probability theory.
Boolean algebra used to invalidate the official 9/11 account
Boolean algebra deals not with numbers but with truth values. In Boolean mathematics we have only two values: True and false. One of the primary operations in boolean algebra is the operator AND. In the equation A AND B we have:
Given A = true and B = true, then A AND B = true
Given A = true and B = false, then A AND B = false
Given A = false and B = true, then A AND B = false
Given A = false and B = false, then A AND B = false
The AND relationship can be illustrated by three bulbs connected in series. The truth value for each bulb is ON or OFF. In order for bulb C to be ON, both A and B must be ON. If either A or B or both are OFF, C will not obtain electrical current and be OFF. The same would apply to a longer series of bulbs connected in series.
Applying the AND relationship to the official 9/11 account, we posit that
in order for the official account to be true, a number N of fundamental allegations must be proved as true. If any one of these fundamental allegations are false, the entire official account is false.
Thus, it is only necessary to demonstrate that a single fundamental allegation in the official account is false for the entire account to be deemed false. Fundamental allegations include the following (a non-exhaustive list), all of which are part of the official version on 9/11:
1. No plans existed prior to 9/11 to protect the Pentagon and the White House against approaching aircraft (if such plans actually existed, questions would arise why they were not implemented and who prevented their implementation).
2. The idea that the World Trade Center could be attacked from air, did not occur to any US government agency before 9/11 (if it is shown that the idea actually was discussed by US military agencies, the question would arise why it was not taken into consideration to protect these assets).
3. All persons named by the FBI as hijackers actually boarded the four aircraft which crashed on 11 Sep. 2001 (if they did not board the aircraft, the hijackings could not have taken place).
4. The planes which crashed on 11 Sep. 2001 were flight number AA11 (tail number N334AA), flight number AA77 (tail number N644AA), flight number UA93 (tail number N591UA) and flight number UA175 (tail number N612UA) (if the flight and tail number are not those listed here, the question arises whether the planes that allegedly crashed at the known locations were the same ones which departed from the listed airports).
5. Flight AA11, a Boeing 767, left from Logan Airport, Boston, and crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York (some critical assumptions made in the official story rely on the identity of this flight number, the airport of departure and on the type of aircraft).
6. Flight AA77, a Boeing 757, left from Dulles Airport, Washington, D.C., and crashed into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. (some critical assumptions made in the official story rely on the identity of this flight number, the airport of departure, the type of aircraft and the claim that this aircraft crashed on the Pengaton).
7. Flight UA175, a Boeing 767, left from Logan Airport, Boston, and crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center in New York (some critical assumptions made in the official story rely on the identity of this flight number, the airport of departure and on the type of aircraft.
8. Flight UA93, a Boeing 757, left from Newark Airport and crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania (some critical assumptions made in the official story rely on the identity of this flight number, the airport of departure and on the type of aircraft).
9. The US military were not notified in time to scramble military jets and prevent the crashes of the hijacked aircraft (had they been notified in time, questions would arise why they did not scramble military jets in time and who was negligent).
10. President George W. Bush did not know that “America was under attack” before entering the primary school in Florida on the morning of 9/11 (should it transpire that President Bush actually knew what was going on in New York as he entered the school, questions would arise as to his foreknowledge of the crime).
11. The South and North towers of the World Trade Center as well as WTC no. 7 collapsed due to fire (if evidence can be produced that steel buildings cannot be made to collapse by fire, it would suggest that they were made to collapse by explosives, as actually suggested by a number of witnesses).
12. Numerous calls from hijacked passengers were made to family members and airline personnel with cell phones (if it can be shown that at the particular moment of the phone calls the planes were flying above 8,000 feet and/or at the speed of 500 miles per hour or more, it would suggest that the cellphone stories are a fabrication, because of the technical high improbability of succeeding such calls from high altitude and/or high speed).
If any one of the above allegations is found to be false, the official account must be put in doubt or rejected and the suggestion of official deception or criminal complicity must be considered as justified.
Probability theory used to invalidate the official 9/11 account
It is also possible to “disprove” the official 9/11 account by using probability theory. If it is shown that the probability of the official account is so low as to approach zero, it can be safely maintained that the official account is untrue.
The probability of a compound event to have occurred is the product of all sub-events necessary to accomplish the compound event. The underlying assumption is that the probability of each sub-event is independent of the probability of another sub-event. The following sub-events appear independent of each other. All of them have a low to extremly low probability. In order to simplify the demonstration, we arbitrarily assigned a probability of 0.1 (or 10 percent) to each of the following selected propositions which underpin the official account. Skeptics may try other combinations of probabilities, higher or lower, in order to test the methodology.
1. Four young, healthy and educated Muslims who possess large chunks of cash and like to party, can be expected to prepare for many months to sacrifice their lives in a murderous hijacking operation.
2. Four groups of Muslims can be expected to board four different aircraft in the United States on the same day without raising suspicion.
3. Young muslim men, known to have been in Afghanistan, would be expected to receive a visa to the United States in order to learn to fly.
4. Foreign Muslims who plan to hijack planes in the United States, can be expected to choose to train in US, rather than Arab, flight schools in order to prepare their hijackings.
5. A person planning a hijack operation in the US could be expected to tell an official US employee about his criminal motives, as Mohamed Atta had reportedly done in his encounter with Johnelle Bryant of the Agricultural Department in Florida.
6. Muslims who meticulously plan a hijacking operation in the United States, could be expected to "forget" a Kor’an on a bar stool on the eve of their operation and a flight manual in Arabic on the morning of their operation, in a rented car left near the airport from which they intended to hijack a plane.
7. Hijackers can be expected to fly from another town to the airport from which they intend to commit the hijacking operation merely two hours before their intended hijacking should start.
8. US military authorities can be expected to schedule, for exactly the date of the murderous events, war games and exercises including simulated plane hijackings and planes crashing on government buildings.
9. Conversations from cell phones made from passenger aircraft can be expected to function at any altitude and speed.
10. Passports of hijackers could be expected to be found on the crash sites, regardless of the lack of bodies and wreckage.
11. The US air force could be expected to bungle its attempts to intercept the hijacked planes.
12. No plans could have existed at the Pentagon to protect US government buildings against the risk of an accidental or malicious plane crash.
13. Neither the CIA nor the FBI could have any prior knowledge of the identities and whereabouts of the alleged hijackers before 9/11.
14. A law enforcement authority, such as the FBI, could be expected to show little interest in investigating mass murder.
15. A government would be expected to oppose an investigation of a terrorist attack against its own country.
16. Terrorists can be expected to commit mass murder without making any demands.
17. Five individuals with only packing knives can be expected to overwhelm fifty adults in a plane.
18. Hijackers in three different planes can be expected to successfully enter the pilot cabin without raising alarm.
19. A person who had never flown a Boeing passanger jet could be expected after a little simulator training to plunge the aircraft successfully between the first and second floor of the side of the Pentagon, even under conditions of extreme stress.
20. A crashed plane can be expected to leave any visible trace.
21. A high rise steel building can be expected to collapse on its own footprint after a raging fire.
22. Debris from a crashed plane can be expected to be found many miles from the crash site.
The compound probability of the above events is the product of the individual probabilities or 0.1**22 (0.1 in the 22 exponential). The actual figure is so small that it practically nears zero.
If one accepts the above propositions (even by increasing their probability of occurrence to 0,5), it follows that their compound probability is near zero. In fact, it suffices that a subset of the above propositions be shown to have a compound probability of near zero, to invalidate the official account on 9/11.
While both methods demonstrate beyond reasonable doubt that the U.S. authorities have fabricated the official account, the question arises why they have done so, what are they covering up, who perpetrated the mass murder of 9/11 and how was it accomplished. These questions are not pursued further here. As long as the above statements of fact are not fully investigated, the U.S. administration must be considered as covering up the crime and thus as the prime suspect in this crime against humanity. -

Sat, March 24, 2007 - 3:11 AMHow To Steal An Airliner *AND* Fake a Hijacking
911review.org/inn.globalf...jacking.html
(Pt.2 now up here)
By WoodyBox -9/11/04
(Check out also
Flight 11-The Twin flight
The Secret Hijacking -The Fifth Plane landed in Cleveland...)
American Airlines Flight 11 departed from Boston as a regular passenger flight. Soon after the departure, it was officially hijacked by five Middle Eastern terrorists, one pilot familiar with small planes and four "muscle hijackers". The terrorists killed some crew and passengers, and in a combined act of murder and suicide they directed the airplane into the WTC North Tower.
This "official" version of what happened on September 11, 2001, has been challenged by many people. Here is a short and incomplete list of objections, most of them still not addressed by officials responsible for the clearing up of the crime:
- The names of the hijackers don't appear on the passenger list
- There is no video footage of the hijackers passing the security check at the airport
- The flying skills of the alleged pilot Mohammed Atta were hardly sufficient to hit the Tower
- The hijackers didn't choose the optimal flight path, i.e., the shortest way to New York City (more...)
- The life conduct of at least some of the hijackers don't point to an Islamistic background, but to sex&drugs&rock'n roll
- The phone calls from the airplane which are meant to be the strongest proof for a hijacking are not genuine
- Some or all of the missed passengers of Flight 11 embarked on the wrong plane
The sheer amount of unexplained contradictions has inevitably led to the development of alternative scenarios for Flight 11, usually embedded in a scenario for the whole 9/11 attacks.
The story of Flight 11 as I present it here avoids the numerous weaknesses of the official version and is empirically better grounded than the existing alternative versions. It is not a scientific, but a criminalistic approach, meant to stimulate researchers to look at new, promising traces left back by the perpetrators of the attacks.
The article consists of two parts. Part I is a comprehensive timeline for Flight 11. In Part II, the timeline will be explained and discussed in more detail.
Part I - The Timeline
Normal letters indicate commonly acknowledged, generally well documented facts. Italic letters indicate comments, conclusions and conjectures to create a lucid picture of the story of Flight 11. All times are EDT.
The embarking of the "hijackers"
September 10, Boston Logan Airport
3:43 p.m. American Airlines Flight 196, coming from San Francisco, arrives at the gate. The airplane's tail number is N334AA. The next day, it will achieve sad prominence as Flight 11. BTS data base
4:25 p.m. A white Mitsubishi Mirage is recorded by surveillance cameras while entering the parking lot.
In the evening of the next day, this car will towed away by the FBI for examining. They will find flight manuals in arabic language, a koran copy, and an airline crew tag. Boston Globe, 9/23/01 There are three persons from Middle Eastern descent in the car, the driver and the two coming pilots of Flight 11, hereafter refered to as "thieves".
4:45 p.m. The thieves embark on N334AA as usual passengers, which is scheduled to leave at 5:10 p.m as Flight 197, with destination San Franciso.
5:05 p.m. After having said goodbye to his fellows, the driver leaves the airport. The Mitsubishi is recorded again by a security camera. Boston Globe, 9/23/01
5:12 p.m. N334AA pushes back from the gate. BTS data base
The preparation flights
September 10/11, Boston, San Francisco, and in between
11:47 p.m. N334AA arrives in San Francisco. It has just a short stay. BTS data base
12:49 a.m. N334AA departs for Boston as Flight 198. BTS data base The thieves are still aboard. Somehow they manage to stay in the cabin - maybe they hided somewhere (not likely), maybe they presented an explanation to the crew why the had to fly back immediately. It's also possible that one of them was in the cockpit on the jump seat, a common service of the airlines for foreign pilots.
6:03 a.m. N334AA arrives at Gate 32, Terminal B, Logan Airport. About 40 passengers and the crew disembark form the plane. Karen Booth The thieves stay. Like in San Francisco, the question is how did they do this, and the possible answers are the same.
The departure
September 11, Boston Logan Airport
Between 6.03 a.m. and 7:45 a.m. After the thieves are sure that they are the only persons left on N334AA, they prepare for the unusual flight that lies before them. One thing they do is to disable ACARS, a system used for data communications with the airline. That's why the departure data don't appear in the data base of the Bureau for Transportation Statistics (BTS) which gets this information via ACARS. BTS
7:45 a.m. The thieves ask the tower for departure clearing and push back a few seconds later. New York Times, 9/16/01 They pretend to work on a normal passenger flight.
7:45 a.m. Al Filipov, passenger of Flight 11, calls his wife from the Admiral's club of AA to tell her that he has switched from Delta Airlines to American Airlines. He is NOT aboard N334AA. Filipov's Flight 11 is supposed to depart from Gate 26 and is delayed. That's why he has enough time to call his wife. CBS News, 9/13/01
Between 7:45 a.m. and 7:59 a.m. N334AA is taxiing to runway 9R along taxiways A, N, K, S, A, K1, B. New York Times, 9/16/01
7:59 a.m. N334AA takes off from the runway. New York Times, 9/16/01
The flight
September 11, the skies over Massachusetts and New York State
8:14 a.m. The thieves begin to pretend a hijacking. They stop talking with the controllers and don't react when they are ordered to climb. Paul Thompson
8:20 a.m. Next step of the fake: The airplane deviates drastically from its projected course. Paul Thompson
8:21 a.m. Next step of the fake: The transponder is turned off. Paul Thompson
8:25 a.m. The thieves send a message over the air traffic control channel which is seemingly meant for the (not existing) passengers: "Nobody move. Everything will be okay. If you try to make any moves, you'll endanger yourself and the airplane. Just stay quiet." Paul Thompson But this is just the next step of the deceit: In doing this, they convince the air controllers that the airplane is hijacked, avoiding direct communication with them.
8:27 a.m. N334AA reaches the Northern edge of his flight path and turns South. Paul Thompson The thieves decide to begin their rush towards New York City. They know that around this time a remote controlled plane is started in Poughkeepsie, 70 miles north of the city. Their task is to run up to this plane so that they cross the heart of New York City at the same moment when the remote controlled plane crashes into the North Tower.
8:28 a.m. The thieves begin to push the radio button intermittently.
Paul Thompson
They want to confuse the controllers and strengthen their believe that the hijacking is going on. These intermittent transmissions are repeated until 8:38.
The overflight
September 11, the skies over New York City

______________
Flight 11 - The Twin Flight
An examination on the critical moments of September 11 at Logan Airport
by Woody Box
The efforts necessary to research and formulate this text are dedicated
to the victims of Sept.11 and their loved ones, and especially to the
victims of flight 11.
I know them a bit by now, and I like them.
Where did Flight 11 start? Almost everyone knows the answer: this was in
Boston. But if you want it a bit more precise and ask for the specific
gate the airplane left from, your interview partner most likely will just
raise his eyebrows and present a counter-question: "Why do you want to
know that?"
This is about to change. On closer inspection, the question for the gate
is not trivial at all, but highly intriguing. There are two answers: Gate
26 and Gate 32. And both answers resist any attempt to refute them.
Flight 11 was an institution on Logan, Airport, it used to be the
American Airlines' early morning transcontinental flight for years. The
flight was popular among flight attendants because usually wasn’t full of
passengers, sometimes not even half full. Its departure was scheduled
regularly for 7:45 a.m. at Terminal B, Gate 32. And so it was on Sept.
11, as this radio transcript shows: "7:45:48 -- Ground Control 1:
American eleven heavy boston ground gate thirty two you're going to wait
for a Saab to go by then push back" (1).
This document is encountered by press reports claiming that the
passengers of flight 11 embarked on an airplane at Gate 26 (2). This gate
is located in another wing of Terminal B and about 1000 ft. away from
Gate 32. Gate 26 is the "official version", and apart from one exception,
Gate 32 is never mentioned (3). The confusion is completed by the fact
that this airplane's departure (which I will name "plane-26" as opposed
to "plane-32") was delayed, i.e. it left the gate later than 7:45 a.m
(4). This has been confirmed by several witnesses (5).
Summarizing the diverse reports and witness statements yields the
following double timeline for flight 11:
(x): source x
* No data found; estimated half an hour before scheduled departure
** No data found; estimated quarter an hour before scheduled departure
*** Estimation based on witness statements
Instead of favoring one of the planes and hopelessly trying to invalidate
the evidence for the other one, it's a better idea to get familiar with
the thought that there was a plane labeled "flight 11" at both gates (6).
Then we must realize the consequences of this surprise with regard to the
criminal case of 9/11.
The issue in question is the identity of the doomed plane. Plane-32 is
the jet that crashed into the WTC North Tower. Its flight path is well
documented by the transponder data, the radar data and the radio talk
with the controllers, at least up to a few minutes before the crash. But
there is no evidence of any people embarking, or intending to embark, on
a plane starting at 7:45 from Gate 32, not one report, not one witness.
Whereas it's possible that the passengers boarded partly plane-26, partly
plane-32, it seems to be far more likely that the irregularity of the two
gates is part of a hitherto unknown plan to get control of plane-32
without disturbing passengers or crew members. So in all probability, the
plane was "stolen" from the airport by the so-called hijackers, - with no
passengers aboard.
The people most concerned by this are the relatives of the victims of
flight 11. They must learn that their husbands, wives, fathers, mothers
etc. perhaps did not die in the North Tower. Sadly, there is virtually no
hope that they are still alive because we've never heard of them anymore.
But as every human being wants to know the place where his loved ones
left this earthly world, it's just a matter of time until questions for
their real fate will arise.
The FBI and the 9/11 Commission, apparently unaware of the problem,
should seriously scrutinize the hypothesis of the "hijacked" planes. If
there were no passengers on plane-32, there was no need to hijack it. The
pilot's behavior - deviation from course, no reaction to controllers,
suspicious cockpit talks - was supposed to PRETEND a hijacking. The
resulting question - why did he do that, why did he attract attention so
early instead of calmly following his deadly route as long as necessary -
lacks an answer yet but constitutes a big challenge to every
investigator.
Well, the flight attendants Betty Ong and Amy Sweeney relate a hijacking
in their phone calls (7). The problem is that the contents of the calls
differ considerably, thereby diminishing their conclusiveness. Mrs.
Sweeney, for instance, doesn't mention with one word the mace Mrs. Ong is
talking about. Instead, she describes a bomb with yellow wires, and this
essential detail does not appear in Ong's call. The two women are
seemingly not in contact as they don't exchange information. This is not
the right place to discuss the inconsistencies of these two calls, but
there are many to detect through careful examination. Therefore the
identity of the callers and the authenticity of the calls are highly
doubtful, particularly since they are not recorded, apart from the first
four minutes of the alleged Ong call. The possibility that the calls came
from another person simulating the voices of Mrs. Ong and Mrs. Sweeney
with the help of voice-shaping software should not be dismissed flatly.
It is known that the hijackers did a lot of test flights. Enough
opportunities to record the voice of a flight attendant on a hidden tape.
Enough time for a female terrorist to train imitating the captured
voices.
Plane-26 is a far better candidate for a hijacking than plane-32 as there
were passengers seen waiting in front of Gate 26 (Spiegel, see (2) ).
Unfortunately, the only thing we know from this plane is that it was
scheduled to depart at some point after 7:45 a.m. Its actual departure
time is not known, however, and it's even possible that it didn't start
at all. The official database of the Bureau for Transportation Statistics
(BTS) doesn't help either. This database contains all domestic flights of
the big airlines, but on Sept. 11, flight 11 and its data are missing
completely (8).
Perhaps some FBI investigator should browse his filing cabinet for the
mysterious "5th flight" shortly emerging in the media after September 11.
This transcontinental flight was scheduled to start at 8:10 a.m. in
Boston, but it was canceled in the last minutes due to a mechanical
defect (9). The flight number 43 turned out to be wrong afterwards,
raising the question for the correct number of the canceled flight (10).
In any case, the scheduled departure time 8:10 a.m. perfectly fits the
boarding time 7:35 a.m. of plane-26 (Spiegel, see (4) ), so it's quite
possible that this was the delayed flight 11 at Gate 26. Note that
American Airlines used to offer only one transcontinental flight around 8
a.m: flight 11.
This article raises many questions but fails to provide the answers. This
is not surprising, though, because the author lacks the means to go
deeper in his investigation, be it interviewing witnesses or sifting
documents. Some questions, however, might be answered quickly if certain
important documents are published, for instance the tape corresponding to
the radio transcript in the New York Times. The 9/11 commission already
has proven its openness to such ideas.
Was it really John Ogonowski who was sitting in the cockpit of plane-32
and talking with Ground Controller 1? It is said that Mrs. Ogonowski was
never given an opportunity to listen to the tape.
"7:45:58 -- AAL11: After the Saab cleared to push, and we're gonna need
four right today, American eleven heavy."

A few weeks later, Gate 26 is confirmed by a Spiegel team coming to
Boston and speaking with eyewitnesses (Spiegel 49/2001, cover story: "Was
wirklich geschah" (What really happened) ).

The exception is the Boston Globe article "Two flights from Logan are
hijacked" by Stephen Kurkjian and Raphael Lewis. This is one of the very
earliest reports on the attacks, published on Sept. 11. It can be found
in the archive and is mirrored here:
news.globalfreepress.com/ewing...p.html
Quote: "One airport employee, who asked not to be identified, said the
American flight left on time from Gate 32 in Terminal B, and that nothing
unusual was apparent." One day later, in the Globe article "Crashes in
NYC had grim origins at Logan", we read: "The American flight left from
Gate 26 in Terminal B, and the United flight from Gate 19 in Terminal C.
One airport employee said nothing unusual was apparent when the American
flight left." Was this the same employee as the day before?
(4)
news.globalfreepress.com/ewing...11.pdf , p. 37/38
According to Der Spiegel, Gate 26 was opened to the passengers at 7:35.
And we learn that flight 11 was 14 minutes late - because the jet lifted
off at 7:59, that is 14 minutes after the scheduled departure time. This
is nonsense, of course, and you might ask yourself whether these
reporters had been coming to Boston by ship because they obviously don't
know the difference between gate departure and take off. Anyway, with a
boarding time of 7:35 the plane surely left the gate later than 7:45.
(5)
Two passengers and one crew member called their spouse before the
departure of flight 11:
www.cbsnews.com/earlyshow/...thwatch/...
Quote: "(David) Filipov's father Alexander, whom he calls Al, was a
passenger on American Airlines, Flight 11, which was the first jet that
crashed into the towers. In an ironic twist of fate, he was supposed to
be on a Delta flight to Los Angeles but switched to American at the last
minute. The last contact Alexander Filipov had with his family was when
he called his wife from American Airline's Admiral's lounge at Boston's
Logan Airport at 7:45 a.m. " So Mr. Filipov was not aboard plane-32 which
was just pushing back from the gate at 7:45. Most likely he was going to
take plane-26. Given the time he would need to walk from the club to Gate
26 - at least five minutes, probably more - the boarding was surely
possible until at least 7:55.
www.chicagotribune.com/news/showcase/...
Quote: "Richard Ross, 58, of Newton Mass., called his wife Tuesday
morning to say his plane was leaving a bit late. He was frustrated,
concerned about arriving in time for a business meeting in Los Angeles,
his son said." So this was a substantial delay, not just five minutes.
And obviously Mr. Ross didn't intend to take plane-32 - this plane was
right on time.
news.globalfreepress.com/ewing...r.html
Quote: "(Amy) Sweeney’s first call from the plane was at 7:11 a.m. on
Sept. 11—the only call in which she displayed emotional upset. Flight 11
was delayed, and she seized the few moments to call home in hopes of
talking to her 5-year-old daughter, Anna, to say how sorry she was not to
be there to put her on the bus to kindergarten." So at 7:11, gate
departure and boarding time already were rescheduled, i.e. shifted back
by some minutes. And Mrs. Sweeney was likely not calling from plane-32.
(6)
This thesis is confirmed by a peculiar scenery taking place one year
later. Time: Sept. 11, 2002, 7:55 a.m. Location: Boston, Logan Airport,
Terminal B. While Sylvio Amorino mourns calmly in front of Gate 26 in
memoriam the victims who left the airport here one year ago, a big
memorial service with 200 American Airlines employees is held at Gate 32.
How many of the employees were eyewitnesses of the boarding procedure of
the last flight 11, and why weren’t any employees with Sylvio Amorino?

abcnews.go.com/sections/p...ilyNews/...
edition.cnn.com/2004/US/01...ommis.call/
There is one additional oddity concerning Betty Ong's call. According to
Vanessa Minter, the AA employee who has received the call, it commenced
"minutes after 8:00 a.m.", lasted nearly 40 minutes and ended at 8:46
a.m. This contradicts other reports that Mrs. Ong rang her up at 8:21:
abclocal.go.com/wtvd/news/...stCall.html
Why didn't the 9/11 commission invite Mrs. Minter when they were playing
the Ong call to the public?

The Tribune article is to be found in the archive. A copy is here:
www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/...
The Telegraph is better informed: like flight 11, the destination of the
transcontinental flight was Los Angeles.
www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml
(10)
www.chicagotribune.com/news/n...rld/...
"In fact, the flight under investigation flew out of Newark" writes the
Tribune and apologizes for associating flight 43 with Boston; the AA 43
of Newark, however, didn't have a mechanical problem but started on
point, so it couldn’t have been the "flight under investigation". Does
the Tribune want to spell away the canceled flight?

to be fair, most of my claims are also mostly conjecture, as i cant slap on the table any physical evidence. neither can any of you.
but i persist in my investigations because i can, and because i want to know the truth.

Re: Former Military Officer Comes out for 9/11 Truth
Sat, March 24, 2007 - 12:18 PM"evidence? no, conjecture. subject to interpretation among other things"
No, definitive evidence that you've never answered. If the evidence was subjective as you claim, then you would have put your subjective spin on it rather than trying to change the subject and engage in personal attacks. But you didn't, because the evidence was objective.
Observable debris falling faster than the collapses themselvges is an observable fact, a fact that contradicts the free fall myth, and not a subjective interpretation. Sesmic reports showing the seismic signal of the collapse of the towers beginning long after free fall would have dictated is another objective fact. The fact that you nor anyone else has provided a single objective, verifiable controlled demolition authority supporting your interpretation of the meaning of "pull it" is also an objective fact. The fact that the recent video I posted shows debris from the south tower continuing to fall over 30 seconds after the start of the building's collapse is also an objective fact contradicting the "near free fall" myth, and another one you can't answer. The fact that there are dozens of eye witnesses who said they saw a plane hitting the Pentagon is also an objective fact. The fact that building 6 was literally pulled down by cables and thus is not an example of "pull" being used to refer to demolitions by explosives is another objective fact.
And on and on
There's a reason you haven't attempted to address these facts.
You can't -

my experience *personally* is that nearly every single engineer, architect, demolition and construction worker that *I* have personally interviewed all believe an overwhelming amount of evidence points to controlled demolition. maybe one in 20 holds a small reservation but only because there appear to be other unnatural forces at work beyond normal demoliition procedure they are unfamiliar with - the sublimating steel being the reason why in most cases.

Re: Former Military Officer Comes out for 9/11 Truth
Sat, March 24, 2007 - 12:50 PM"- Why did no one see a plane hit the Pentagon?"
Oh dimi dimi dimi. Why would you say such a thing? Why do people make assertions of fact regarding this issue around here without bothering to make any effort to if their claims are true or not? Who told you this nonsense, and why did you believe them? In fact, dozens of people saw a plane hit the Pentagon.
I'm glad I save some of this stuff since this nonsense just keeps getting repeated:
French researcher Eric Bart compiled a detailed list of every person (at the time at least) who claimed to have seen what hit the Pentagon. He lists about 80 people or so (see below link), many of whom were trapped in traffic and watched the plane hit.
Number of these eyewitnesses who described a missile? Zero. ALL of them described an aircraft. Number who described a commercial jet, jetliner, or passenger plane of some sort? At least 42 (this doesn't mean that the other 40 or so witnesses didn't think it was a jetliner - just that their reported descriptions weren't precise enough to definitively identify it as such). Number who positively identified it as an American Airlines jetliner: At least 20, including four USA Today reporters, one of whom went on to be a multiple Emmy winning television co-anchor. Number of those eye witnesses who provided positive identification that it was an AA jetliner who didn't work for either the military or the Pentagon (lest they be accused as pbeing art of the gigantic conspiracy): At least 12 (13 if you count a furniture installer who was only technically working for the Pentagon when he was installing furniture at the Pentagon at the time).
Two eye witnesses reported that it was a C-130, but this is explainable since a C-130 was in the area trying to relay visual reports of the 757, and other witnesses who saw the 757 hit the Pentagon reported that they also saw a C-130 following it. Apart from the above, only three others described something other than a jetliner.

Here are some of the observations of these eye witnesses:
Tim Timmerman (pilot who lived nearby, and might know something about what jetliners looked like): “It was a Boeing 757, American Airlines, no question. It was so close to me it was like looking out my window and looking at a helicopter. It was just right there.”
Richard Benedetto (a USA TODAY reporter): “It was an American Airlines airplane, I could see it very clearly.”
Penny Elgas (worked for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation): “I remember recognizing it as an American Airlines plane -- I could see the windows and the color stripes”
Asework Hagos (computer programmer and consultant): He said he looked at it and saw American Airlines insignia
Elaine McCusker (associate director, University of Washington Office of Federal Relations):"I saw a very low-flying American Airlines plane that seemed to be accelerating."
Lincoln Liebner: "I was close enough that I could see through the windows of the airplane, and watch as it as it hit”
Carla Thompson (Worked at an office building 1000 yards from the crash): “I could see the passenger windows glide by”
Bob Hunt, who reported speaking to “a number of average people” who said they “could clearly see the markings of an American Airlines airliner”, with some saying that they even saw passengers
John O'Keefe (managing editor of Influence, an American Lawyer Media publication about lobby): "I don't know whether I saw or heard it first -- this silver plane; I immediately recognized it as an American Airlines jet ...."
Albert Hemphill: “The aircraft, looking to be either a 757 or Airbus”
Terry Morin: “I believed at the time that it belonged to American Airlines, but I couldn't be sure. It looked like a 737”
Jim Sutherland: “a white 737 twin-engine plane”
Levi Stephens: "what looked like a 747" -

Re: Former Military Officer Comes out for 9/11 Truth
Sat, March 24, 2007 - 9:10 PMOh, but Ron, don't you know the Pentagon has INVISIBLE MISSILE BATTERIES there. They quickly shot a missile at the Pentagon and then removed them in broad daylight, WITH NO WITNESSES.
The Citgo Gas Station across the street, must be in on it too as you know Chavez owns them.....

Re: Former Military Officer Comes out for 9/11 Truth
Sat, March 24, 2007 - 1:14 PMThanks for the effort Ron. I appreciate the time you invested in answering one of my questions.
Can you answer though why the only security recording floating around out there does not show us anything concrete? I mean, the FBI confiscated a shitload of security recordings. It would be more convincing if we could examine some of them for ourselves, wouldn't it? Surely, there's some footage out there which makes this an indisputable case. After all, there are a few other remaining questions WRT to what hit the Pentagon (see my other questions).
I imagine that the Pentagon and its surroundings are very very well monitored.... -

But dimi, why did you claim that no one saw a plane in the first place?
You didn't ask "Did anyone see a plane?"
And no, I don't know why there haven't been better videos. I suspect though that security surveillance videos are not good at clearly capturing planes moving close by at 500 miles per hour, but I'm not sure. -

Surveillance cameras tend to monitor building entrances, parking lots, security gates. Unlikely that they would be pointed towards the sky. Even if they had a pan and tilt function, it is also unlikely that someone could have tracked a plane moving at that speed even if they had known it was coming.

Re: Former Military Officer Comes out for 9/11 Truth
Sun, March 25, 2007 - 3:33 AMI didn't SEE my wife eat the last After Eight chocolate, but she's the only other person in the house and she has a smudge of chocolate on her lip.
By using my BRAIN to posit a scenario based upon the available evidence I can model a situation (She ate it) in my mind that fits the evidence.
I don't need to see a surveillance photo, though it'd be nice if there was one to help confirm it. Regardless, her eating it is the most likely explanation.

Sat, March 24, 2007 - 1:18 PM<<Why did no one see a plane hit the Pentagon?>>
Um. They did. My dad for example, was inside the Pentagon and saw it hit and saw the debris.
Now maybe you could consider him a liar, or brainwashed, but you are simply wrong that "no one saw a plane."

Re: Former Military Officer Comes out for 9/11 Truth
Sat, March 24, 2007 - 1:26 PM<<- Why did the FBI confiscate all security recordings within a substantial radius fo the Pentagon and what happened to them?
Do you really think that the Pentagon wants our enemies or terrorists to know where and by which angles the cameras are?
<<- Where's the debris of an airliner hitting the Pentagon?
There was plenty of debris. An airliner impacting soil would have bigger pieces.. An airliner impacting that much concrete and at those speeds would be shattered. Remember, planes are made for flying and thus are made with the most lightweight material possible. In particular the wings, which shattered against that wall. The profile would not look like the outline of a plane, it looked exactly as it should, the wings sheared off the and the core of the plane penetrated.
And guess what? The black box was discovered..... This is a perfect example of urban legend bouncing around the echo chamber of the internet and being presented as fact.

Re: Former Military Officer Comes out for 9/11 Truth

because you are incapable of rational logic.
you are able to be told something and hold it as truth
opposed to experiencing directly the actual evidence.
Ron hopes to play this characteristic in people to his advantage
and so do you i take it.
it's a cognitive fear-based disorder of denial most people need help with
and something spin artists like you, albeit terribly infantile, prey upon.
if you need more explanation I can recommend a few people. -
