Flight School Head Admits Neither He Nor 9/11 Hijackers Could Fly 9/11 Planes

This is from Wikipedia... I know some people don't place much faith in it as a resource, so take it as you will. I tried to open footnote 28 to read the .pdf file, but it wasn't successful. It's probably a large file and I don't have time to wait for Adobe to download it all.

""Interviews with potential witnesses to the TWA 800 crash were conducted by the FBI; the NTSB was asked not to interview or re-interview witnesses because multiple interviews could lead to difficulties in any potential future criminal prosecution.[28] No verbatim records of the witness interviews were produced; instead the agents who conducted the interviews wrote summaries of the interviews which they then submitted.[28] Witnesses were not asked to review or correct the documents.[28] After the FBI closed their active criminal investigation, the summaries were handed over to the NTSB (with personal information of the witnesses redacted), who then formed a witness group to review these documents.[28]...

...Of these 258 witnesses, 38 reported that the streak was ascending vertically or nearly so, 18 indicated that it originated from the surface of the earth, and 7 reported that it originated at the horizon.[29]

Streak of light was when the plane was heading upwards.

No argument hear, but I think people are looking to deep into most theories due to their bias and already established mistrust of the government (especially in a arena such as this one). Don’t get me wrong, I don’t trust the government ether after such events like waco. It is a institution comprised of man and subject to greed and corruption. people forget that Islamic terrorist have been a long established enemy of the U.S. and Binladen has also taken credit for it and promised more in the future. Is that a surefire explanation for such an event, no. there is always room for questions of any event. I also don’t buy the theory that it was government initiated to start the Iraq war, they could have done that back in ’93. As for Bush"s faults, what president has had none (pretty much it’s own thread), they have all been shady to some degree or another.

Is Rudi Dekkers even a pilot?

I can't find any references stating that he's a pilot, much less a flight instructor.

It may be helpful to know his experience and qualifications if he is going to state that he himself couldn't fly the airplane's or the hijackers.

The interview he gave didn't say that he was a flight instructor, it just said that he was the owner of Huffman aviation.

Is this something that I missed earlier in the thread?

Thanks for the post deltaboy. Whoever made that video doesn't know how airplanes fly.

First of all in the climb, with a speed at 300 knots, the forces that are acting on the airplane are the wings which are giving it lift but attempting to pitch it down, and the tail which is essentially an upside down wing. Its giving lift but is imparting that lift downward to counteract the downward pitch that the wing is giving to the fuselage.

This is why the strongest area on a fuselage is along the top because that is where all the load is.

Everything is now balanced. If you now remove the forward fuselage you have instantly changed the dynamics. The tail, which has been forcing the tail down to counteract the nose pitch down forces of lift, has nothing to counterbalance it and will instantly attempt to do a back flip. But in my opinion those instantaneous loads would cause the outer wing panels to separate and cause instant destruction.

In any case there cold not possibly be any lazily gliding up as depicted in the video. It is a farce that could not happen in real life. There would be no upward travel. There would only be instantaneous destruction.

The lights that people saw rising up in the air was the missile that was fired from the U.S. Navy boat that launched it.

I believe that video was initially made by the CIA and should be used as a joke in aerodynamic classes.

But thanks for the post and the video.

My English is not perfect. Go back and read your early posts.


It's also very unlikely that two pilots in exactly the same type of plane, would kill themselves in exactly the same way in the course of two and a half years with a fabricated NSTB report for one reason and one reason only.

You think it (the report) is impossible.

And the Eastwinds incident was what? An attempted suicide? Or was it just made up? Is that the only way you can explain it?


Well behaved people don't make pethetic discrediting attempts picking out termonology and English mistakes.

Thanks for the post.

Capt Lear knows aerodynamics, he gave a very good explanation, better than I would if I had tried (been a long time since I was an Instructor)
Question -- is there a TWA 800 thread? Or, has it already been covered too much? IT still fascinates me...

(sometimes I'd just like to hike down into the Grand Canyon and forget about everything...)

(signed), TJ

How about Tailhook? Does that one ring a bell?



Story seems a particularly apt word...




A retired USN Reserve Commander. Well, that sure makes him a top-drawer source...anyway, on with the show...



Let me see if I've got this straight, the retired USNR Cmmdr, emailed Cashil to tell Cashil about something he (the USNR Cmmdr ret.) said in a conversation? Talk about turning your usual whistle-blower theory on its head. I'm sure it's normally that someone writes/e-mails/phones with something that was told to them, not by them...

Which doesn't even get to the fact that I'm not a US citizen, let alone a retired USN anything, and I know what the letters LAM mean when suffixed upon Tomahawk...



Thanks for a link to a table of contents, very helpful...



Or, possibly, for stealing evidence, which is a crime in most of the countries I know...



It would help if you explained why the charges were, like, "bogus", dude...



Again with the table of contents...



Why, were they involved?



Got an ISBN for that book? Might make it easier for a few of us to acquire...



I have been told Harold Holt was picked up by a Chinese submarine...



"Probably"? Oh, man. As opposed to a direct order with the threat of prosecution under whatever the US equivalent of the Official Secrets Act is, not to mention a simple court martial for the disobeying of a direct order...Unless I'm very much mistaken, the Judge Advocate General's Corps do not have to make transcripts public.

Besides all of which, your "probable" solution to keeping something silent is to spread the source of any possible rumour across the globe? When sailors arrive at new assignments, they always talk about where they've been before. You don know the origin of the term "scuttlebut"?

The USN is a large beauracracy, but it ain't that large, and beauracrats tend to notice things like an entire crew being transferred, or having their promotions capped, or leaving the navy. Then you've got beauracrats wondering what the hell is going on...



Because that's going to stifle the story.

"Hey, Chief Jones is dead, shot himself."
"Really, oh, man, that sucks *internal monologue* and only last night he was telling me about the TWA shoot-down, wow, still, couldn't be related."

That's quite an imagination you have there, John.

I have been told by actual sailors that when a boat fires a missile the boat is locked down, the crew is not standing around on the deck to observe the launch. The only ones who *know* that a missile has been fired are on the bridge, in CIC and in the weapons bay. Everybody else heard it from someone how was told it by someone who was actually there.

As for keeping sailors quiet...that's a laugh. Nobody talks like servicemen with a secret. Besides the fact that I have had soldiers, including one who was in-theatre, but not a witness, tell me that a posthumous medal recipient was fragged by his own troops, there are other servicemen and women who believe the "honour" of their service is not upheld by keeping a murder, or murders, as the case may be, secret, but, in fact, quite the reverse, by exposing them.

I am not a pilot, I know nothing about flying planes and I certainly don't feel like reading through 12 pages of posts, and I don't like getting off topic so I will just respond ot the prison planet video.

If the terrorists were in control, they could of easily made the pilots do the flying. (maybe they tried to fly the plane but couldn't so forced the pilots to do it) maybe they never went to flight training school and it was just a cover up, but it doesn't matter.

I did hear somewhere that pilots are trained not to fly planes into buildings, that they aren't supposed to give into terrorist's demands. But unfortunately human beings are not perfect and quite often in moments of fear we give in to absured demands, or forget our training, only care about ourselves, or just do something incredibly stupid, as the pilots may of done.

Maybe the planes were fitted with remote control devices as a failsafe (which seems a little unlikely, why wouldn't they just do that and NOT use the terrorists)

Fact-767's and 757's were both with built in remote controlled systems and could be flown without a pilot. LOOK IT UP!
Fact-It takes many hours of training and knowledge of the instrument panels, emergency moves, and be able to fly by sight. This is almost impossible because you are traveling 100's of miles per hour. Just look how easy it is to wreck a car at 120MPH. Large planes are flown by instrument with direction from the control tower that also watches for other planesfrom above, below, and side. Normally when you get close to where you want to be you slow the engines to come down. Those planes that hit the towers and whatever hit the pentagon were full power That is like speeding up to make a turn. This would be possible by remote controll because the controller is not effected by G-force.
Fact-Pilots that watched the 2nd plane hit went to their simulator and tried to do the same as the terrorists/inside job, and they could not do it the first time.
Fact-NORAD did nothing. They caught and turned back dozens and dozens of planes in the past yet on that day it was 0.
Fact-Chaney took over the drills on that day. He had a memo sent to the generals from Rumsfield that told them (June 1st, 2001) that Chaney had the shootdown powers. This is the first time ever that the generals didn't have those powers.
Fact- The head of the Dept. of Transportation was in the bunker of the Whit House with Chaney. He told congress that an aid came in telling Chaney the plane was 50 miles out. This went on until it was 10 miles out. The aid asked Chaney if the order still stands. Chaney whipped his head around and said of course the order still stands, why did you hear anything different? He was speaking of the plane that hit the Pentagon because the only other plane was an hour from coming down. The order had to be STAND DOWN.
Fact- If the missile had hit head on it would have got the Rumsfield office and 100's or 1,000's injured or killed. The plane did a 180 and hit the only part being remodeled. This is also where important papers about the missing Trillions and the accountants. Pilots agree that at that speed a pilot would undergo such G-force he would have passed out.
Fact-In May of 2001 the Pilots were told they can no longer have a gun in the safebox of the cockpits.
Fact-Only 22% of all the supposed deaths on the planes have filed for wrongful deaths of family members.Hmmm
Fact-The Neocons already wrote a roadmap with a comment that their planes may take a long time unless they had an event like a new Pearl Harbor. Look at the PENAC doc. "Rebuilding America's Defences"
Fact-There are steps a government has taken to overthrow their people like Germany. Google 10 steps to Fascism. Look at how far they have gone in those ten steps. We are now through 9 and only 10 is left.
Fact-If you don't wake up and scream to all you know 911 will be remembered as the warmup.
Fact-The perfect plan of all this is to finally wipe out 85% of the planet. It is their bio's and books they have written. They arn't afraid because most people don't read books anymore. Lazy TV watchers. Damn, Why do you think it is called PROGRAMMING!?
Fact-Buildings don't fall into dust! If building do fall they don't fall into the path of most resistance as fast as freefalling.
Fact-Jet fuel in open air burns coolest unlike a gas burner where it has ozygen fed to get the hot blue flame.
Fact-Jet fuel cannot melt hi-grade steel or even get it weakened. Large steel beams work as a heatsink and spreads the heat over its suface where it cools.
So much more...
Look, if it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, has feathers and flys it must be a duck.

Wow, jondular, you sure know a lot of 'Facts'...care to cite your sources?

I'm sure many in the ATS community would love to do some 'Fact' checking...

Rofl.

Could you link me to information about that system? I have, but the article I was linked to was so poor and riddled with bugs I want to make sure I have the right one.


...?

Folks, 'JimmyCarterIsSmarter' knows what the heck he/she is talking about. I have a lot of my stuff in storage, so exact details aren't at my fingertips, but this ATS member from lovely downunder is spot on!

BTW, Melbourne is a beautiful city, can't wait to go back.

HowlrunnerIV, that's Linda Park, your avatar! She was Hoshi Sato on 'Enterprise'...

(sorry, not topical, just cool...)

TJ

Would it be possible for someone to tamper with the automatic pilot and enter a trajectory to the WTF? Perhaps there never were any terrorists after all, just manipulations.

Thanks for the question, TheOracle.

The ability to remote control a B767 or B757? No, not in my experience or opinion.

Besides having flown the real thing, I also fly model Radio Control airplanes. They are designed and built for hobby/amusement purposes.

But, there exist UAVs, specially designed and highly specialised for Military applications. They are specifically designed for their mission...a B757/B767 was not designed, as far as I know, to be remotely controlled in any way, shape or form. To retro-fit? Well, possible. Plausible? Without anyone knowing? And to pull it off perfectly, first time? Unlikely.

WAAY off topic...reply to post by weedwhacker

I know. I like it for two reasons: 1. She was Hoshi and 2. Linda Park is Wally West's wife (now that should put me squarely in the "geek" box), plus, let's face it, she's a beautiful woman.

Not to get too unreconstructed, Australian and male here, but Linda's been bumped down my list since Grace (no relation) Park started playing Boomer...
