Authorities say landing gear may have been planted: Lowered in on rope!!

With respect to Operation Northwoods & in the spirit of ATS perhaps, just perhaps, someone knows that with a little fact checking the serial number will not match any of the flights and we will learn the serial number was a regiatered military aircraft and they want us to know.
Hmmmmmmm? Maybe?

Who's to say the rope wasn't already there laying across the two buildings?
It's not uncommon to find all sorts of junk on building roofs.

As to the lack of visible wall scratches. It's been 12 years with polution, birds and weather. I doubt you would see the scratches unless you climb the wall foot by foot. Even then they will have been weathered in.

There were six total. Two nose gear, four mains. I don't know how many were found however, as a lot of the wreckage remained in the building.

Except that the military doesn't fly 767s yet. The first 767 to be operated by the US military is the KC-46, and it's several years from flying still. They haven't even completed the CDR yet.

Man, these idiots in power are getting really sloppy and stupid.. I am just loving watching this all backfire. They are going to expose themselves in their desperate attempts to cover things up and preach their official story BS. Of course it was planted, I'm so sure nobody noticed that piece of landing gear for 12 years!

The main portion of the landing gear, which would include serial numbers appear to have not been found in most cases going just by those pictures. The serial numbers are on a plate on the main portion of the strut on each landing gear.

I hadn't thought about it this way.
Perhaps that piece picked up the rope while traversing the insides of the WTC.

How would bringing re-newed attention to a supposed cover up actually help to keep things covered up?

Really? So when the authorities say there's no visible damage to either side of the walls, even though something that heavy would have gouged chunks out of it, you find excuses for this?

As for the theory regarding the rope, do us all a favour, please.

Maybe, but why attach a rope to it?

It could be that someone on the ground saw this thing stuck up there, threw a rope over it, and tried to break it free by pulling it from below. There is nothing that says, and no way to tell, when the rope was added to it.

Interesting to note the rusted nut. Like its been exposed to the elements for a while (decade?).

Or, could be it was found up on a roof and accidentally dropped when someone tried to lower it by rope to the alley floor. Very heavy piece of machinery. I've belayed scrap to the ground off buildings before. You loop the rope around some part of it so you can pull the rope back up when you are done. If one end slips while lowering the object... whoops.

serial number

The Boeing part number is the number for a clamp.

'65B84045-1 CLAMP'

That should be the part number. There's usually a serial number on a metal plate that attaches to the parts that require them.

This is the serial number plate on an F/A-18 Hornet.

Various WTC plane parts were supposedly found on 9/11, except for the important things that were designed to survive, the black box recorders.

Completely the opposite at the pentagon, all the parts of a plane you'd expect to find, were no where to be seen, but the black box survived, all be it with 'nothing of importance' on it.

Plane parts were a mystery on flight 93 too, nowhere to be seen.

Maybe if they keep looking in New York, those pesky black boxes might eventually turn up wedged in between a building or something?!

You never know, strange things happen, I mean if a hijacker passport can survive and be found, the heck, a couple of black boxes could still be out there... (large dose of sarcasm, obviously!)

Because landing gear are the most hardened thing on an aircraft.
The landing gear has to be able to take hundreds of tons of aircraft, people, cargo, baggage, fuel, etc... and hold them even if the aircraft is slammed down on a single wheel with too fast a descent. When we tow an aircraft we are similarly pushing all that weight with a heavy paymover pushing on a single landing gear. Gear are tough, and are gong to be very hard to destroy.

Do you consider the 'hardness' of landing gear, to the tougher than black box recorders?

reply to post by DeeKlassified


Both the landing gear and the black boxes tend to survive crashes. But the black boxes weren't designed to survive having two 110 story buildings crashing down on top of them, on top of the crash. Other black boxes have not survived crashes that they "should" have survived.

Thanks for the follow up. These things are huge. Maybe the "clamp" is on there somewhere...

Suspicious to say the least.
Maybe someone is planting evidence to renew the investigation?
Hopefully some new evidence will come to light this time.
We still have too many unanswered questions.
