Know Doubt 0 Posted October 2, 2006 I just checked out 9/11 Commission Report from the base library because I too am in doubt about this aspect of 9/11. I wanna do some checking and figured the believers and naysayers could help and google the shat out of this info and come to a conclusion. Fact or fiction? Here's some of the first tidbits w/names to research/google, etc Page 8 "Boeing 757 piloted by Captain Charles F. Burlingame and First Officer David Charlebois..." Google these guys and see where they exisisted before or do whatever to prove whether this is true or not. Please do what you can as well with all the following qouted exactly from the 9/11 Commision report. Page 9 "The Indianapolis Air Traffic Control Center reapeatedly tried and failed to contact the aircraft. American Airlines dispatchers also tried, without sucess.54" "54 "...See NTSB Report, 'Flight path study-American Airlines Fight 77,'Feb 19, 2002..." "At 9:12, Renee May called her mother, Nancy May, in Las Vegas..." Google this family, are they Real??? "At some point between 9:16 and 9:26, Barbara Olson called her husband Ted Olson, the solicitor general of the United States. She reported... ...about a minute into the conversation, the call was cut off. Solicitor General Olson tried unsucsessfully to reach Attorney Genral John Ashcroft...." Are the Olsons real? If so Ted should still be alive somewhere. "At 9:34, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport advised the secret service of an unknown aircraft heading in the direction of the White House. American 77 was then 5 miles west-southwest of the Pentagon and began a 330 degree turn. At the end of the turn, it was desending through 2,200 feet, pointed toward the Pentagon and downtown Washington. The highjacker pilot then advanced the throttles to maximum power and dove towards the Pentagon.60 60 See FAA report, Summary of Air Traffic Hijack Events: September 11, 2001.' Sept 17, 2001; NTSB report, 'Flight Path Study-American Airlines Flight 77,' Feb 19, 2002; FAA report, 'Report of Aircraft Accident,' Nov 13, 2001." end quote From: The 9/11 Commission Report Final Report of the National Commision on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States The Commision Thomas H. Kean, Chair Lee H. Hamilton, Vice Chair Richard Ben-Veniste Bob Kerrey Fred F. Fielding John F. Lehman Jamie S. Gorelick Timothy J. Roemer Slade Gorton James R. Thompson Now the only thing that gets me is some terrorist doing a 330 degree turn and then at the end of the turn desending 2,200 feet to extactly hit the SIDE of the Pentagon without hitting the ground first at "aproximately 530 mph"...??? !!! Seems pretty hard unless you've been a pilot for awhile imo. Also, 757s are smaller than a 747 from what I'm told so maybe that's why the damage wasn't as exstensive? I dunno...? WHEW! We need a scanner! TIA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
