Maybe because they were going by the names on the manifests? They had tickets, therefore they were listed on the manifests, and they could identify them by that.

But didn't they use fake IDs to get the tickets ?? So the names on the manifests would have been fake.

So where did they get the list ?

No, called as in picking up the airphone on the plane and calling to their dispatch office. Betty Ong and many others were on airphones that are on a large number of planes.

Gents,

For the love of sanity, we are not looking at pictures of "melted cars", we are looking at pictures of bunt out cars some of which also show damage inflicted by falling debris.

Maybe for the cars but not the bigger vehicles like the firetrucks.

They got the list from the manifest. It may be that they were all fake names that they stole for this purpose, or it may be that the "survivors" that were found had the same names. It's not like THAT doesn't ever happen.

Oh, the fake names on the manifest. So where did the FBI get the real names that fast.

Betty Ong and others NEVER used their names, which you would know if you bothered to read the earlier quotes. She told them that they were "FOUR MIDDLE EASTERN MEN THAT CAME FROM FIRST CLASS" however she WOULD have had the names that were on the manifest, because the crew has access to that list with seat numbers. So if she knew exactly what seats they came from she COULD have given their names.

How do you know that they ARE real names? The came out with a LIST OF NAMES, I don't know if they're the real names of the hijackers, or if they're fake names or what. All I said was that it was REPORTED that a pilot with a similar/same name as a hijacker REPORTED that his uniform and passport were stolen. I don't think they ever knew if it was a hijacker on 9/11 that stole it or if it was someone else.

Can you please clarify exactly what you are suggesting. You appear to be saying that fire trucks, (which happen to be attending a scene of immense fire and carnage), are too big to get burnt which is frankly absurd.

And the names on the manifest would have been fake names, the same fake names that were on the fake IDs they used to get the tickets.

It would have taken more then just some little fires to melt the tires and metal on the bigger trucks.

And the names on the manifest are the names that the FBI came out and released. That's how they got them.

The FBI stated they had the names and knew who the 19 terrorist were.

Rubber tyres really do burn ever so well, (and so much better than the wheels they are fitted to), and no one has yet shown me a photograph of a melted fire truck.

They wouldn't show up on tapes if they came from other flights. Atta was seen on a video at an airport in Maine getting on another flight that connected to the flight he was eventually on. Most of the security cameras are around the security checkpoints that they didn't have to go through again since they were on connecting flights.

Yes the FBI said they knew who they were. Because they had the names used on the Manifest. If they were fake names, then it doesn't change that they still knew who hijacked the plane. I can say that my name is Bob Smith on the manifest, when it's really John Doe, and if I hijack the plane they still know that I did it if they know what seats I came from or have a description of me from on the plane.

So you expected us to stop anyone who set off a walkthrough metal detector from getting on the planes? (Yes us. I was a screener on that day.) Then the planes would have been awfully empty, because we used to have dozens of walkthrough alarms an hour. Just because the walkthrough went off didn't mean that they had dangerous weapons. As far as the weapons went, it has never been confirmed that they had ANYTHING that was banned from being carried onto the cabin of the plane. The supposed bomb was never confirmed as being anything but a box with a button on it, and knives were allowed onto the plane by the FAA prior to 9/11. As far as the pepper spray that was one of the harder things to find in a bag, especially if there were a lot of things around it.

But i do expect people who were flagged and set off scanner to be stopped.

yes they can and if "Bob smith" is connected to alquada (sp?) and "john doe" is not.............
