That's got to be the longest thread ever on usenet too.
Oh, and about that video.
I find it very unlikely that it was brought down with explosives, seeing that taking down a regular building needs a couple of days of preparation at least.
And it would've been a much louder bang than you hear onthe tape too.
i'd like to know what that flashing helicopter was doing up there tho. maybe no controlled demolition, but maybe something tricky?
Aren't there always helicopters in the air around cities?Quote:

The flash from the helicoptor confuses me too, could just be that the sun hit it right or something, or maybe they were trying to signal surviviors so that they could pick them up.Quote:

Interesting point from a "conspiracy" program on tv yesterday.
Apparently a majority of airline and military pilots say they doubt whether they could have managed to hit either of the towers. Without guidance they simply wouldn't have been sure where they were supposed to be going. Makes you wonder how semi-trained hijackers managed that feat.
Flight 77 apparently turned through 70 degrees and at the same time dropped from 5000 ft to just above ground level, then flew perfectly flat until it struck the Pentagon. Every pilot asked (civilian and military) has said they could not perform that manoeuvre.
I don't know whether it's who performed the original acts or the explanations we are supposed to believe, but somewhere along the line something stinks to high heaven.
Lynx, I may be wrong here, but isn't that what they do a lot of times in their landing approaches? Especially if the flight path is perpendicular to the runway?
conspire on guys! wouldn't we all like to know what the gov't has done.
Good point.Quote:

I guess that's how luggage gets lost so easily...:huh:
Hmmm.
It occurs to me that the superior visibility on 9/11 ("severe clear", in pilot parlance) might have aided the terrorists's efforts; I mean, once you're in the air, you can just about see New York from Boston-just keep the sun on your left until you can pick out the towers. :dry:
