On the contrary, weedwhacker, I imagine that some people here strongly agree with me and the probing questions that I ask.

This post, for example, is as silly as if I told you that a V-6 reciprocating car engine that breaks a connecting rod might 'throw' that rod through the side of the crankcase and you insisted on seeing the charts and diagrams to prove it!

It's hardly a silly question at all, weedwhacker. You made a claim that part of the engine should be found where it was (90 degrees) because it rotates at high rpm.

I challenged you to show why the part should have ended up there and you failed to deliver.

You did not consider that the part would have been angled at 40 degrees to the ground did you? Did you consider the speed of the alleged impact? No. Why wouldn't those engine parts have flown straight down into the dirt at alleged impact? You made a claim, without proving it.

As to charts, graphs and calculations? I'll leave that to you, since apparently it's so important to your understanding.

Draw me your diagrams of the alleged crash site and show me how the part of the engine should have ended up where you claimed it did. Use forces, use equations, use whatever you need to show it.

Gee these Wile E Coyote copycats are just so ridiculous aren't they?

Who would have imagined an aircraft diving into the ground and disappearing?

If an author had put it in a book; he would have been laughed out of town.

ahh yes, of course. Same can be said of the "truth" movement with their "professionals" who have to publish their findings in a pay-to-print magazine.

Who said anything about disappearing? Oh I'm sorry you must have overlooked the numerous photos of the 757 debris and the eyewitness accounts of those who were on their hands and knees day in day out combing for debris and human remains. I wonder what they would do if you brought up your nonsense to them?

You know, much of what you claim with your fantasies, if they were presented to a court of law, would be laughed straight out of court.

Alleged 9-11 Flight 93 OFFICIAL STORY



Do you see an aircraft here? This is where it was supposed to dive into the strip mine. This is where they claimed to find the black boxes 15 feet and 25 feet underground. Do you actually believe such nonsense? Magic? Do you also think cartoons and the Simpsons are reality? This is where they claimed to find an engine inches below the surface.









So where is the aircraft if it did not disappear underground? The Flight 93 memorial, reciting the official story, tells visitors that about 80% of Flight 93 was in the ground.

Google Video Link

So if 80% of the aircraft did not disappear underground, then where is it in the photos above? Don't you think you should get your story straight with your fellow pseudoskeptics and government loyalists? Are you abandoning the 9-11 Flight 93 OFFICIAL STORY and creating a new one? How come you guys are pushing Wile E Coyote science? And if the aircraft did disappear into the ground, then how did the 48 some odd tons of dirt it displaced manage to fall right down on top of the hole?

tezzajw and I await your scholarly dissertation.
Thank you.

On the contrary, weedwhacker. I await your proof for your claims. You're trying to deflect all of your claims, by trying to place a burden of proof upon SPreston.

weedwhacker, you know that this doesn't pass the Logic 101 curriculum. You need to support your claims, or admit that they are only subjective opinions and not fact.

This is allegedly the official position of the aircraft as it dived into the ground upside down at a 40 degree angle from the horizontal. It seems the tail of the aircraft along with both black boxes should have been in the pond too; or thereabouts. Doesn't it look like the tail section should break off and tumble down range when the tail hits the ground?



The flight recorders were allegedly and officially dug up from 15 feet deep and 25 feet deep and officially 80% of the aircraft was buried in the hole.

How could two small flight recorders essentially the same size and weight have such a huge difference in their alleged burial depth? They were side by side back in the tail which logically should break off; so why would the flight recorders be in the hole in the first place?

Logic and common sense and deductive reasoning and the history of our corrupt government tell me that those flight recorders were never at Shanksville and were photographed somewhere else.

Playing your silly game again, I see. I agree with weedwhacker and you're arguing with a combined over 70+ years of aviation experience with jet aircraft.

I'm not going to waste my time doing complicated calculations and I suspect weedwhacker won't either. Revel in your silly game of "I don't believe you without calculations" to prove it if that makes you feel good. It won't change facts.

Translation: I don't know how to do the complicated calculations and I suspect that weedwhacker doesn't know either. Please stop asking weedwhacker to prove what he claims and just believe him instead.

Why not or no engine part was ever recovered in the pond?

You cannot infer anything with certainty from the fact that no official photos are available. You are just grabbing at a particular explanation, i.e., the plane never crashed. This is unscientific.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

But you have to concede that it is not a fact that an engine part was recovered since we have no verifiable evidence?

Who's "we"? If you mean 9/11 truthers, then - yes. But there are public statements available from people who claimed to see the fans of the Flight 93 engine being lifted from the pond. Were they lying because they were involved in the 9/11 deception, too? I find that hard to believe.

Thanks for bringing this back up, micpsi. It once again underscores the crucial keystone in the Truther Arch of Reality - specifically that if they personally are not contacted by the FBI/CIA/NTSB/etc and provided exclusive access to every bit of information, every photo, every interview, every piece of analysis down to the most minute detail, then something did not happen. No photo? Didn't happen. No serial numbers? Didn't happen. No pictures of body parts strewn over a field or intestine hanging from a tree branch? Didn't happen. No access to the wreckage? Didn't happen. It is the absolute easiest way to approach something you lack the ability to understand - it did not happen.

It is a huge reason why they cling to these absurd speculative positions - it is the only defense they have left that the evil Gub'mint is lying and since *they* are not privy to *all* the information, the event didn't occur. You almost want to add a "So there" with an arms-crossed pout at the end of that.

So, to borrow that philosophy, I have never, ever met nor seen a "9/11 Truther" in person (and I have been to many large cities and capitals in the 9+ years since 9/11), so I therefore claim that they do not exist and they are all computer-generated entities spounting random-generated sound bites selected from a database of 9/11-related verbiage.

So there.

Thanks for supplying absolute proof that an engine fan was retrieved from that pond.

Oh wait...

So lets see - you don't think a piece of an engine landed in a retention basin downstream from the crash site because:

a) You haven't been shown any photos.
b) There were trees in the way.
c) Nobody has told you what the part number was on the piece.

So, now you don't believe there was an engine piece, so you don't believe there was an engine, so you don't believe there was a plane, so you don't believe there was a crash, so you don't believe there was a hijacking.

And you think this is an acceptable and rational standard for processing reality and information?
