Re: you know what's astonishing?
[QUOTE]What can I say? Maybe you should do more research, because there were a whole lot more than 20 witnesses - and they were independent, unrelated, and geographically diverse. I'm not saying that all of them say the plane all the way to the end as it hit the building, but [I]lots of people saw the plane come in[/I].
And I don't need research to know that your claim about not being able to see the plane at 500 mph is completely misleading. It depends on your length of visual perspective of the plane's incoming trajectory, right? Come on, Mr. Research...
If you happened to be focused on the last 20 feet or so, like that camera was, then no, you're not going to see shit.
If you happen to see a much greater distance of the flight as the plane is coming in, then you'll have time to notice that it's a plane, even at 500 mph (even if you won't have time to document every single detail about it).
[/QUOTE]
again, we can round and round all day with witnesses, funny you like the pentagon witnesses, but the wtc witnesses(the 500 or so who heard bombs) you think must of heard something else..lol.
anyway, lets just leave all eyewitnesses out of it, and deal with hard evidence.
[QUOTE]Oh give me a break, now you're a studied expert on "classic propaganda ploys", too? :roll: Congratulations, your ego really does know no bounds.
Man, I thought I had this all researched... damn! Why didn't I think of those "classic propaganda ploys" in the eyewitness evidence (even though there is no credible evidence for any)? [/QUOTE]
yeah, i have studied many things in my quest for the truth, proaganda ploys and techniques are just some of the stuff i have been researching these last 8 years, and while i dont have a degree in any of the subjects, you will find it quite interesting that if you read 20 books on any subject field, your are in the top 10% in that field. 100 books on any subject field, makes you an expert.
now have i read close to 20 books on propaganda tech like npl and conversational hypnosis?
yes i have, along with films,lectures and the such, the internet is great for studying new subjects.
[QUOTE]If you're so willing to label everything from the conventional story as "classic propaganda ploys", then how come you're never willing to consider that same label for anything on the conspiracy story side? Everything is always so reliable on that side. Hmmm. Interesting how that works.[/QUOTE]
right, which is why i have not agreed the molten metal, etc,etc
there are a ton of mistakes the truthers have done, and like most good researchers, if it dont fit, it goes out the door.
unlike you guys, cause when it dont fit, ah, who gives a damn anyway? they did not need that cab driver anyway right? so what if his story is crap, he planted HIMSELF there, and made up a huge lie, because,because.
well because we cant think of anything else.
[QUOTE]Yes, this is your best point yet (you also had a good point about the WTC fire), although it is still far from sufficient to debunk the argument that a plane did hit the Pentagon that day.[/QUOTE]
hold up sonny, can you quote me saying a plane did not hit the pentagon?
no, you cant, so lets stop with the strawman arguements shall we?
a plane did hit the pentagon, just not a 757.
[QUOTE]I will say that the government didn't say that the calls didn't take place; they simply said that they cannot [I]conclusively determine[/I] the identities of the caller and the receiver. They do, however, say that there are records of 4 calls from the plane that they can only best describe as "unknown". But this is not the same as having disproven that she placed the calls...
[/QUOTE]
can i call bs now or later?
did you dl and check out the flash presentation from the government trial of the 20th hi jacker?
it's really simple, if they used an airfone(which we have already confirmed did not exist on 757's on that day) we would have had a credit card transaction before they could of even dialed(so a record of WHO used the phone), if it was a cell phone(again impossible due to how high and fast they were flying) then there would of been a cell phone charge(very easy to check who was calling and who was anwsering).
[QUOTE]..besides, if it's the government that we're accusing of planting evidence here, don't you think they could have forged evidence that showed that it [I]was[/I] her, for the sake of their plot?[/QUOTE]
um, they did forge evidence, clearly thats what the calls were in the first place, to go back later and admit that she did not call is no big deal really, as most people wont take the time to research it or like you, even care much about it to say, well i dont know what happened, so who cares!
[QUOTE]But here is what I do feel confident in stating:
There were many calls that day that family members and spouses received from the airplanes and many of them were actually made from seat-back phones, which did exist in some of the planes at that time (not saying they existed in Flight 77 - I really don't know). And it is also plausible for the cell phone calls to have worked for a brief duration of time if the plane is at a sufficiently low altitude. There is evidence on this, and I could also post up a storm - but I'm sure in all of your thousands of hours of research you've already seen it.[/QUOTE]
i've seen them debunked, if you want to do a discussion on phone calls as well, i'm down.
[QUOTE]It is far beyond common sense plausibility to believe that the government could have gotten all of those different relatives of the dead to participate in their plot, and I also don't believe that the government could adequately faked all of the voices and mannerisms of peoples' spouses, daughters, sons, etc. to fool people who knew them for a lifetime. There really isn't evidence for that. [/QUOTE]
it's quite easy to fake someones voice, if you have a voice to fake(i.e. a recording, like on their cell phones or home phones) but as far as mannerisms and such, you are correct, maybe thats why mark used his first and last name when talking to his mom(like thats believeable in ANY way)
mark: hi mom this is mark(stop right there, she hears and knows it's her sons voice)and then he says his last name(confused here, how many sons named mark does she have and do they have different last names?)
did he think him calling her mom and saying it's mark that she would somehow not know it was her son unless he added the last name?
who am i kidding, we all call up our moms and are like, whats up mom, it's your son george david henson the 2nd, you remember me right?:roll:
[QUOTE]So even if the Olson call didn't take place, that doesn't at all suggest to me that none of the calls took place. And I'd still need more than that to overturn all of the eyewitnesses, DNA evidence, and debris evidence from the plane that crashed into the Pentagon.
[/QUOTE]
the barbera olsen call is very important in the 9-11 tale, let me ask you something, if barbera did not call, how the hell did the us government KNOW that the terrorists used boxcutters before the last plane was even on the ground?
what kind of a man, after hearing his wife just died, goes and holds a press conference?:roll:
[QUOTE]I thought I already answered it like a zillion times. When a plane crashes into a heavily reinforced building like the Pentagon and explodes, it tends to burn and fall into little pieces. Depending on the physics of the crash, planes can actually structurally disintegrate quite significantly. They don't necessarily tend to stay in one piece, you know?
[/QUOTE]
let me ask you something, do you know what sar missions are? do you know who does the most sar missions in the usa? i'll give you a hint, i did 150+ sar missions for them, the letters are c.a.p.
have you seen 150+ planes crashes up close? everything from a cessna to large sac/mac aircraft?
and just a fyi, cobalt and titium engines dont burn and fall into little pieces.
but lets say that the plane hit the wall, exploded into little pieces.
what caused all the damage inside?
there are NO engine holes in the outside wall, are you expecting us to believe a hollow aluminum tube, made it thru 6 reinforced walls(remember it went thru 3 rings), but yet, the engines just fell apart and burnt up?
really?
[QUOTE]Here is just one recent example - maybe you heard of this tragic plane crash in Iran that crashed [I]out in the open[/I] (not even hitting another reinforced structure). Was this a government conspiracy cover-up, too? Be sure to look at the pictures.

Here's some more, unrelated.

[/QUOTE]
the first ones pics are all close up, see if you can find a wide view of the debris area.
2nd link, the f-4 is different in so many ways it's laughable people still use this as evidence.
[QUOTE]Have you ever considered the fact that maybe you're not quite the aviation and physics "expert" that your research apparently leads you to think you are?
[/QUOTE]
nope, again, as with most researchers, if it dont fit, i throw it out, learning is always an ongoing process, i know you have been taught that it's only cool to be an expert in one subject, most likely your career, but i was taught knowledge is power, and i can read a 700 page book in 24 hours, so i pick up new research when ever something gets my attention.
i also look at both sides, do independent research and then come to a conclusion.
i would be more then happy to tell you whats wrong with every 9-11 debunking site you can google my friend.
cause i read them all. i dont go around to sites that share my views and then pat myself on the back for doing some research.
[QUOTE]You make this claim with such [U]certainty[/U] of hairline fracture exactly here and there[/QUOTE]
again, first hand looks at how wings react shows me that what they said can not be true, but i understand for you, you dont have a clue. so lets go about getting you the information to make a good decision on this wing matter.
lets take your example of a site link, and it's "debunking of the wings"
[URL]http://911review.com/errors/pentagon/missingwings.html[/URL]
notice how they try, let me repeat, try to debunk my guys site
[URL]http://web.archive.org/web/20040802235744/http://physics911.org/net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=3[/URL]
by picking one of 4 points on what could of happened.
lets see whats wrong with this shall we?
[QUOTE]
Reason 3, which asks if the explosion of the fuel tanks could have fragmented the wings, ignores the possiblity that the impact itself could have shredded the wings. The F-4 crash test described on the [URL="http://911review.com/errors/pentagon/crashdebris.html"]crash debris page[/URL] suggests that the crash of a 757 into the Pentagon would have shredded the wings into confetti. The wings of the F-4 in the crash test contained no fuel, but were entirely reduced to confetti.
[/QUOTE]
notice it links to the same page you did, with that busted ass f-4 story, let me expand on my knowledge of the phantom shall i?
the f-4, are most popular and successful fighter of all time, is mostly engine...
[IMG]http://www.military.cz/usa/air/post_war/f4/f4b.jpg[/IMG]
now lets get on with it.
-
in the video of the f-4, it does not show the aftermath, just the plane hitting the 10 foot thick block. while it says it turned the plane into dust, and while i do believe it, because the f-4 is tiny compared to a 757, the fact remains that they DONT show us the evidence.
-
i did not think i needed to bring this up as my evidence was good already, but for you sir i will.........the pentagon face was LIMESTONE, a baseball going 500mph would of left a mark on the face of the building, much less a 757 wing with a 6 ton engine on it.
now lets take some knowledge from my link, lets start with a picture..
[IMG]http://web.archive.org/web/20040802235744/http://physics911.org/images/911/pentagon/a-diagram.gif[/IMG]
[QUOTE]Of course, the force in question would not have been vertical, but horizontal. This makes the folding even more improbable, as the force of impact would be acting along the only possible fold axis, rather than at right angles to it. Try folding any material, say a piece of cardboard, by applying it's edge (not it's surface) to a tabletop. Folding horizontally is not an option, since all the spars would be lined up in opposing (momentarily) the folding force. [b]Being locally rigid, the spars would simply snap within milliseconds of the impact against a support column that did not yield to their impact;[/b] they would fail as soon as the force of impact exceeded the elastic limit of the material. If they did not fail and if the support columns did not give way, the only remaining possibility would be for the aircraft to remain almost entirely outside of the Pentagon.[/QUOTE]
there is some knowledge for you homie.
when the wings hit, either the columns or the wings gave out, and since the columns did not.................
you get the point.
[QUOTE]What's your basis for being able to make those claims with such certainty? Do you really have the data to be able to determine the exact probability of when and how the wings would react in the final moments before impact as they struck a variety of objects, not just the light poles (also a generator, also [I]possibly[/I] one of the wingtips struck the ground...)?
Or are you claiming this on the same data-driven basis that you used to claim that the eyewitnesses were paid off in a "classic propaganda ploy"?[/QUOTE]
to me my basis is common sense, but since some people did not grow up around aircraft, it's not to them.
also it's a classic propaganda ploy to place agents into crowd to direct thought...."oh my god, did you see that 757 go into the pentagon?"
etc,etc.
[QUOTE]I'm sorry, but I am not buying your "expertise" in this regard. I would accept the argument from a large panel of well-qualified, experienced physics PhDs and other experts who really know their stuff, and I haven't seen that.[/QUOTE]
hundreds have gone on record, and most people dont have the time to do the serious research, busy lives and all, government will keep my back safe, you know.
also there is some kind of attitude like if you did not go to school and have a degree in a subject, your opinion is somehow invalid on it or something.
physics911 is a good start, lots of phd's on there.
but, we can also get alot deeper, we can call up some aircraft mechanics and see what they think about lightpoles and wings.
[QUOTE]Why aren't all of the airline pilots of the world, the physics professors of the world, and the structural engineers of the world all saying "this is impossible"? Were they all paid off as part of the plot? [/QUOTE]
no, but they also know the way of the world. people who have spoke out are shunned, fired and threatened in some cases. why come out with what you know, when the masses are already to brainwashed to believe it.
also humans are creatures of comfort, to be shunned in a country club lifestyle is toxic to some, why come out with what you know, when no one will believe you and you will ruin your life, with nothing ever being done about it.
yeah, i have no clue why more people are not jumping at that chance either brother.
