Flight 93: “Don’t Bother Me With Facts”

I decided to work out the mathematical and physics answers to the questions posed, but since math has always been my worst subject (and I’m a science whiz–go figure), I’m still working on it.  Until I get that done, here’s an answer to those who are still asking the same questions that have already been faced:

Mucho kudos to RKOwens4 for the work on that vid.  (I was having problems with this computer reading the images I wanted to post, so I just caved in and posted the video–it has most of the images I have anyway.)

And I have to answer Simon’s assertion that there was no jet fuel, no fire, and that no wreckage, blood or human remains were found.  The images in the above video have been passed around constantly since the Moussoui trial; they show the wreckage found and what little remained.  Yes, some passengers’ drivers licenses were found, though few were as discernable as the ones in the video.  Yes, some paper survived, including the flight log handwritten by the pilot of N591UA (the plane that was Flight 93), slightly charred and soaked in–gasp!–water and jet fuel. 

For those who don’t know, I’m training to become a firefighter.  I’m studying fire science, and it is amazing what can survive an intense fire.  I’ve seen pictures of people who survived flash fires, with the pockets on their clothes burned away and the contents of the pockets practically untouched.  Families will sift through gutted homes and find the most odd objects have survived–pictures, notebooks, that sort of thing.  A traumatic crash and explosion will not destroy everything on a plane.  Ask any seasoned firefighter or investigator and they’ll tell you that with fire, anything is possible.

So yes, it is probable that these objects did, in fact, survive and were not “planted” as the twoofers might suggest.  And Simon…what’s most sickening to me is that there are so many thousands of people in America like you who claim to be asking questions and demanding answers for the sake of the victims, when it is your refusal to accept the truth that is hurting the surviving victims the most.  Claiming that CeeCee Lyles’ call to her husband from Flight 93 was faked was the most nauseating thing of all.

We’ve long talked about the 800-pound gorilla in the room that nobody wants to acknowledge.  Now we’ve got people pointing it out, but many have moved to refusing to believe what’s standing right in front of them.
