remember the first official version of events surrounding the flight 93. After their commercial plane was hijacked by four terrorists, some passengers decided to join forces attack the hijackers, according to the U.S. government. A skirmish occurred would then be in the cockpit of the Boeing, causing loss of control of the aircraft, resulting in its crash into a Pennsylvania field.
But since it is sometimes necessary to observe certain things with our own eyes, it is strongly suggested to take a moment to review the captured images from the first moments after the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 (see photos attached - PH-14.1 to 14.11).
But where did the plane? Still, there is no debris? Is it possible that these experts on their knees and busy scrutinizing the ground on the last picture (PH-14.11) are now asking the same question, namely how a Boeing 757 may have been sprayed in this way?
compare these images with those of other examples of aircraft crashes (see Annex Photos - PH-15.1 to 15.10).
It is interesting that debris from Flight 93 were found as far away as eight miles (about 13 kilometers) from crash site Shanksville, Pennsylvania. In this regard, here is an excerpt from CNN article published September 13, 2001.
"[...] Meanwhile, investigators said they found debris in at least eight miles from the crash site.
A second area of wreckage was discovered in the vicinity of Indian Lake to within three miles [five kilometers] from the crash site. Some debris was found in the lake and others on the periphery.
additional debris were found in New Baltimore, some eight miles from the crash site. [...]» D4
Judging from a photo taken within minutes after the alleged crash of Flight 93 (see photos attached - PH-14.12), this cloud of gray smoke caused by the explosion he betrays the presence of sufficiently strong winds being able to carry several pieces of aircraft over a distance of up to 13 kilometers?
We learn elsewhere in this same CNN article that the winds were blowing at a speed of nine knots (16 kilometers per hour). Consider also that the debris found at the farthest distance from the crash site were located in New Baltimore, which is located southeast of Shanksville, inlined directly in the path of Flight 93, while a second debris field located at Indian Lake is located about five kilometers him northeast of Shanksville .
Is it logical to find debris spread so wide after a crash to the ground during a day of low winds, so we can see no room air at the site of impact? Photos attached are examples of the type of debris that were found outside the crash site (see Appendix Photos - PH-14.13 to 14.17).
Such debris they appear likely to be transported by low winds for several miles?
All these elements could he not rather point to an explosion of the Boeing 757 in mid-air? Let's not jump to conclusions and examine a sample article from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, September 13, 2001 edition.
"[...] Find the flight data recorder has been so far the main interest of investigators when they expanded the search area today after the discovery of additional debris, including what appeared to be human remains, miles from the point of impact in a coal mine dried up.
Residents and workers at businesses outside Shanksville, Somerset County, reported discovering clothing, books, papers and what appeared to be human remains. Some residents say they have found enough objects to fill the bags they provide to new investigators. Others have reported seeing what appeared to be crash debris floating on the lake Indian, located about six miles [10 kilometers] from the scene of a crash.
Workers at Indian Lake Marina said they saw a cloud of confetti-like debris falling onto the lake and nearby farms minutes after hearing the explosion reporting the crash at 10:06 Tuesday. [...] "W178
a minute ... human remains for miles of the crash site? Let
then burst reaction of several eyewitnesses. Let us first see the first impression of Jon Meyer, chain wjac-TV, NBC affiliate based Pennsylvania. The following excerpt from the book "Running Toward Danger: Stories Behind the Breaking News of September 11th."
"I could go to the edge of the crater. [...] All I saw was a crater filled with small pieces of charred plane. Nothing that even suggested that it was the plane. [...] There were no suitcases, no recognizable plane parts, no human remains. The crater was about 30 to 35 feet [10 meters] deep. "Let
W213 also the reaction of Scott Spangler, a local photographer.
" I thought I was not the right place. I was looking for a wing or tail [the plane]. There was nothing. Only this hole. [...] I tried to find something resembling the tail, a wing, an airplane metal. There was nothing. "W213
For his part, found that Mark Stahl, a resident of Somerset, Pennsylvania, who also went there?
"There is a crater in the ground, the aircraft disintegrated for all practical purposes. There remains nothing but trees burned. "W214
Ron Delano lived on him about two miles [3.2 kilometers] of the crash site. He rushed over.
"If we had not told them that a plane had crashed, we would not have known. It looked like it had disintegrated after impact. "W215
Gabrielle DeRose, chain KDKA-TV and CBC affiliate based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, also had a similar reaction.
"It was very disturbing to think that everything had simply disintegrated [...]. There were no large pieces of airplane, no human remains, no baggage. "W216
Observe also that Fox News reported on their live TV coverage September 11, 2001.
'Journalist:' I'm with Chris Chaniky, a photographer from Pittsburgh affililié Fox. He was on the scene a few minutes away, and Chris, I saw the pictures. It seems that there is nothing here except a hole in the ground. "
Chris Chaniki: 'Basically, yes. The only thing we could see from our point of view was a big hole in the ground and some broken trees. Could see people working, walking in the area. But where we were, there was not much. "
Journalist: 'Absolutely no large pieces of debris? "
Chaniki Chris: 'No. There was nothing, nothing that could indicate a plane crashed there. "
Journalist: 'Smoke and fire? "
Chris Chaniki: 'Nothing. It was completely calm. It was actually very quiet. There was nothing happening there. No smoke, no fire, only a few people who were walking. They appeared to be part of staff the NTSB [National Transportation Security Board], they were walking and examining the pieces. " [...]
Reporter: 'What could you see on the ground, anything other than dust and ashes? "
Chaniki Chris: 'You could not see anything. Just as dust, ash and people were walking. " [...] W217
then add to that the existence of eyewitnesses who said they "saw flames in the sky before impact." Here is an excerpt from the PBS published September 13, 2001.
"The investigators began [...] their analysis of the crash site in search of any aircraft parts that could explain why it crashed. So far they have recovered the flight data recorder [one of two black boxes] and some of the engines of the Boeing 757. Officials say that the biggest piece of debris is only the size of a briefcase.
Pennsylvania Police said the crash debris had been found about eight miles [13 kilometers] away in a residential area where local media have quoted residents who saw flames in the sky before impact.
Investigators were reluctant to speculate whether the presence of debris in two locations indicated an explosion before a crash to the ground. [...]» D7
Another example is an article of the Philadelphia Daily News, dated November 15, 2001, who felt the pulse of the small community two months after the attacks.
"Ernie Stuhl is the mayor of this tiny farming community [Shanksville] who was abruptly put on the psychological map of America on the morning of Sept. 11, when United Airlines Flight 93 crashed headlong into the edge of cleared land a few miles outside the village. [...]
And when you ask Stuhl his theory on what caused the plane crash that morning, he will tell you the most common theory - a battle in the cockpit between the hijackers and burly and heroic passengers caused the loss of control of the Boeing 757. [...]
But looking to get more details from the mayor, and he will add something surprising.
˝ I know two people - I will not give names - that heard a missile ˝, Stuhl said. ˝ They both live nearby, within a few hundred yards. One of these types has served in Vietnam, and he says he has heard, and he heard a [missile] that day. ˝ The mayor added that according to what he knows about the morning concerned, military fighter aircraft F-16 ˝ were very, very close ˝.
If the mayor of Shanksville still seems undecided about the cause of the crash of Flight 93 two months ago, it is far from alone. While the initial shock of September 11 dissipates the crash about 80 nautical miles [Around 130 kilometers] east of Pittsburgh, and what caused it, begins to emerge as the greatest mystery of the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history.
Nobody fully explained why the plane crashed, or what exactly happened during the interval of eight minutes between the end of calls from cell phones on the plane until the crushing.
And the FBI, which took over the investigation from the hands of the National Transportation Safety Board [NTSB], refuses to make public the data of any ˝ ˝ of black boxes so important, is the voice recorder from the cockpit and flight data recorder. [...]
Go to Shanksville and the surrounding agricultural land where people have actually seen or heard the jetliner rush around 10:06 this morning and there are plenty of people - including witnesses - who also think that Flight 93 was shot down, or at least do not exclude this hypothesis. [...] Many people
sector Shanksville, some of which were interviewed by the Daily News, saw a small jet unidentified the flying at high speed shortly after the crash of Flight 93. Several days later, authorities said they believed the aircraft was a Falcon 20, a private jet headed for Johnstown, not far from there, who were asked to come down and observe the site crushing. However, officials have never identified the pilot nor explained why it was still in flight about 30 minutes after the government ordered all aircraft to land at the nearest airport.
While the FBI and other authorities have said the plane was almost completely disintegrated by the impact at about 500 mph [800 kilometers per hour], they also reported that an engine - or at least a portion of 1000 books [ about 450 kilograms] of one of them - was found at a considerable distance ˝ ˝ crater. Stuhl, the mayor of Shanksville, said he was found in the woods just west of the site.
From day one, the government has provided conflicting accounts about the exact whereabouts of three F-16 Air National Guard of North Dakota, VOR at national air defense and assigned to the base of Langley Air Force in Virginia, and deployed at the height of the attacks. [...]
So where were the air defenses of the United States at 10 am - 72 minutes after the first plane hit the World Trade Center, and about half an hour after air traffic controllers and the United States have begun to suspect that Flight 93 had been diverted? [...]
Most Americans are quite comfortable with the conclusion that struggle between passengers and terrorists caused the crash of Flight 93. Roxanne Sullivan, who lives at the end of Skyline Drive in Shanksville and who worked to erect and maintain one of the memorials, says she has absolutely no doubt about what happened. How does she know?
˝ ˝ Right here, "she said, striking on the heart.
All his neighbors are not convinced.
˝ I believe he was shot in midair ˝, said Dennis Mock, who is not an eyewitness but is living nearest the crash site on the side West. ˝ This is what the locals think. [...]» ˝ W74
Same story on the side of the television station WTAE-TV Pittsburgh, which reported that debris was found in lake Indian and at least four witnesses who were at the crash site within five minutes said they saw another plane in the sky. It would have remained there for a minute or two and then would go again, and bore no reference or indication, neither civil nor military (W75). Note
then this article from Associated Press (AP) dated September 13, 2001, which «[...] controllers reported that the regional center of Nashua (New Hampshire) have learned through discussions with other air traffic controllers that an F-16 fighter stayed in pursuit with another short range airliner business under the yoke of the terrorists until it crashed in Pennsylvania, according to the employee.
Although controllers do not have full details on the continuation of the Boeing 757 by the Air Force, they learned that the F-16 had made 360 degree turns to remain close to commercial aircraft, said the employee.
˝ He must have seen everything ˝, said the employee about the pilot of F-16 chasing the United flight 93 near Pittsburgh. [...]» D5
At this point, it becomes appropriate to look to cases of Colonel Alan Scott and Major General Larry Arnold. They changed their testimony before the inquiry in 2004 and claimed to have learned of Flight 93 after it crashed in Pennsylvania. The two men initially said they had yet ordered the deployment of fighter aircraft at 9:24 in response to United Airlines Flight 93. Here is an excerpt from a special report published in Vanity Fair from August 2, 2006.
"[...] During the interrogation that followed, Commissioner Richard Ben-Veniste did not try to know why the military did not react better, but put more emphasis on why the story that had told Major General Arnold and Colonel Scott was so untrue, particularly in relation to the phantom American 11 flight, which officers had never mentioned, and the subject of United Flight 93, they claimed to have followed.
[...] ˝ I was part of the government and I know what What information handling ˝ said (John) Farmer Jr., Dean adviser of the Commission. The history of the military was ˝ an order quite different from the manipulation of information. It just was not true. ˝ Farmer adds not understand why the military felt the need to change the facts. [...]» V3
Is it possible that their first statement was true, they actually ordered the dispatch of hunters to pursue Flight 93? And it would have been one of those F-16 that was seen in the skies over Somerset County, over Shanksville? Is it likely that the military has subsequently amended its version of history to cover up some embarrassing facts?
But let us not speculate, because many assumptions are rapidly becoming terrain vague. However, in light of all this information, it is uncertain whether a simple spat in the cockpit has been the source of tragedy, as authorities allege.
Moreover, it would be difficult to analyze the component of the United Airlines flight 93 in passing over in silence the alleged phone call placed from one of Airphones aircraft by Mark Bingham, a passenger who was presented as one of American heroes in the days following Sept. 11 for having personally fought the terrorists and caused the crash of the Boeing in which he was .
According to the official version, the last call that it would have placed a few moments to rebel is particularly strange. Indeed, although Bingham called his own mother, rugby player and four feet six inches [1.93 meters], began the conversation surprisingly impersonal, using his full name. "Mom, Mark Bingham. ", He said he would (D1).
*****
also noted that the number of passengers on Flight 93 was particularly low this morning. Despite a capacity of 200 occupants, only 38 passengers took their seats. The other three flights involved in the attacks were indeed too little abnormally loaded. In this regard, here's what CNN reported Sept. 20, 2001.
"The numbers may seem out of proportion, fortunately. Thus, the question remains as to why the number of passengers of the four hijacked planes in the sky of the United States is described by officials industry as 'very, very low'. [...]» W65
The American Airlines flight 11 had only 81 passengers on board despite a capacity of 181 people. The United Airlines flight 175 could accommodate as many passengers but not received him on 56. Then, on American Airlines Flight 77 contained only 58 passengers despite its capacity of 200 occupants (W153).
The occupancy rate of four aircraft was thus on average approximately 30% of their total capacity. But back
especially on Flight 93. Include an unexplained gap of three minutes between the time cited by the government as the end of the discussions recorded in the cockpit, retrieved via the black box of Boeing, and the moment of impact recorded by seismographs to this day remains a mystery. Here is an excerpt from the Philadelphia Daily News dated September 16, 2002.
"[...] Several prominent seismologists agree that Flight 93 crashed last Sept. 11 at 10:06:05 am, one or two seconds. The family members who were allowed to hear recordings from the cockpit in Princeton, NJ, last spring, were informed that they came to an end a few seconds after 10:03.
The FBI and various agencies have refused repeated requests to explain this discrepancy. [...]» D8
The article continued by explaining that the records of the discussions in the cockpit is kept in the black box as a movie loop of a duration of thirty minutes, collecting the very fact that the pilots last words before a possible impact. We learned also how the government finally allowed the families of the victims to hear this record.
"[...] Last spring, while the saga of rebellion passengers of Flight 93 became widely known, several relatives of the crash made an unusual request: They wanted to hear the recording in question. The FBI at first refused their request coldly.
˝ While we sympathize with the bereaved families, we do not believe that the horror captured by the recordings of the cockpit to the console in any way ˝, said Assistant FBI Director John Collingwood in December last. But under constant pressure, the Bureau revised its position and agreed to hold an extraordinary meeting in April at the Princeton Marriott Hotel.
None of the family members of victims interviewed for this story does not recall receiving any explanation for the discrepancy between the time records and the actual crash at 10:06. [...]» D8
What could this mean delay of three minutes between the end of the communications recordings of Flight 93 and ground vibration picked up by seismologists?
history make this story even more nebulous end this section by quoting a particularly surprising. On the morning of Sept. 11, the TV station WCPO, Cincinnati-based, broadcast at 11:43 the draft an article by The Associated Press on its website. The article, however, was quickly removed under the pretext that it contained inaccurate facts ˝ ˝. Here is the original version.
"A Boeing 767 from Boston had to make an emergency landing Tuesday at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport due to concerns that a bomb might be aboard, said Mayor Michael R. White.
White added that the aircraft had been placed in a safe place from the airport, then evacuated.
[The carrier] United identified the plane as Flight 93. [...]» D6
