My biggest beef with it is, that's about the only plane crash I've ever seen in which there were absolutely no body parts anywhere. Is that possible? It just seems that people would've been thrown all over the place. It also seems there would be a lot more debris outside...wings, tail, etc.
...no body parts?
No body parts??
Let me tell you a little story. It's part of a story I've told at least 3 times on ATS now, but I'll tell it again.
Let me preface by telling you that I used to work at the Pentagon. I'm pretty familiar with its construction and its layout. I left there for a less-stressful job a little bit before 9/11.
When 9/11 happened, I was still living in DC. I was married to a DC cop. One of my best friends there is a firefighter/EMT, who happened to be part of the recovery effort from the beginning of 9/11.
On the Friday after 9/11, he finally got a respite from the work. A group of us gathered to camp out in the woods and try to deal with this whole thing.
He told us about the body parts he removed from the rubble.
He told us about the remains of luggage strewn about, random things like jeans and underwear thrown from destroyed suitcases. Kids' things. Toiletries.
His words still haunt me more than two years later.
He was 19 at the time, barely more than a child himself.
No body parts? No plane?
Whatever.
We were attacked by Al Qaeda terrorists then, and they still want to attack us today. They flew passenger jets into buildings and killed thousands of people.
How do you explain away a witness who pulled wreckage and body parts from the Pentagon? Is there a nifty little website that'll tell me that my friend, and all those other witnesses, were lying?
