This is the same nonsense as those testimonies where laymen heard "explosions", like they are able to discern of what an explosion is supposed to sound...implying that those people asked must be experts who already witnessed countless building explosions/destructions in the midst of NYC. More likely that 9/11 and what happened was a VERY unique event for any of those witnesses and NONE of them would be qualified to know whether what they heard was really "explosions".
Problem is that MANY of the 9/11 theorists use such ridiculous amateurish statements to bolster their claims.

In his new exposé of the National Security Agency entitled Body of Secrets, author James Bamford highlights a set of proposals on Cuba by the Joint Chiefs of Staff codenamed OPERATION NORTHWOODS. This document, titled “Justification for U.S. Military Intervention in Cuba” was provided by the JCS to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara on March 13, 1962, as the key component of Northwoods. Written in response to a request from the Chief of the Cuba Project, Col. Edward Lansdale, the Top Secret memorandum describes U.S. plans to covertly engineer various pretexts that would justify a U.S. invasion of Cuba. These proposals - part of a secret anti-Castro program known as Operation Mongoose - included staging the assassinations of Cubans living in the United States, developing a fake “Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington,” including “sink[ing] a boatload of Cuban refugees (real or simulated),” faking a Cuban airforce attack on a civilian jetliner, and concocting a “Remember the Maine” incident by blowing up a U.S. ship in Cuban waters and then blaming the incident on Cuban sabotage. Bamford himself writes that Operation Northwoods “may be the most corrupt plan ever created by the U.S. government.”

Operation NorthWoods is another joke.
The document never actually talked about any action which would actually kill any Americans it was all about targeting Cubans (have you even read it?) and they released it before 9/11. That's the bit I really dont get, truthers talk about Northwoods like it was the blue print for 9/11, if that was true they why ever make that public?
It was also written almost 40 years before 9/11, really, thats what truthers are using cold war era military plans that where shelved at the time as some kind of evidence in their 9/11 "truth!. It was even dismissed by McNamara years later as "stupid", I think he had a point in more ways than one.
sigh....
same crap different thread....edit on 11-1-2014 by OtherSideOfTheCoin because: (no reason given)
Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities.
The plans were developed as ways to trick the American public and the international Community into supporting a war to oust Cuba's then new leader, Communist Fidel Castro.
Dereliction of duty is a specific offense under United States Code Title 10,892. Article 92 and applies to all branches of the US military. A service member who is derelict has willfully refused to perform his duties (or follow a given order) or has incapacitated himself in such a way that he cannot perform his duties en.wikipedia.org...

It isn't up to the "Truthers" to explain away the deaths or missing peoples, the burden of proving the truth falls upon those perpetuating the official story.
Actually, it is up to the truther's to prove the official story is wrong.
They can dig up dinosaur bones, from like 10 million years ago; but a plane buried in rubble, impossible to find. lol 9-11 was a magic show. Tah-dah.

(By May 2002, when the cleanup officially ended, workers had moved more than 108,000 truckloads–1.8 million tons–of rubble to a Staten Island landfill.) But the site was still dangerous. Underground fires continued to burn for months. Every time a crane moved a large chunk of debris, the sudden rush of oxygen intensified the flames. Downtown Manhattan reeked of smoke and burning rubber, plastic and steel.

I'll pop some popcorn and see how folks address this issue.... I'm genuinely curious to see anything beyond pure guesswork or 'the gov is evil so they musta killed 'em all'.

the aircraft air supply could easily have been adulterated with gas and they would have quietly drifted away...no mess, no fuss and no chance of escape.
Then unloaded and transferred along with their luggage and personal possessions on to the substitute remote operated aircraft.

When did the have the opportunity to do that? The planes took off from their designated airports, then had to land at another airport, hurriedly unload 4 aircraft with 246 dead people and reload them onto 4 other planes, then unload and reload their luggage as well, then the planes had to take off again... without ATC noticing?
Just how long do you think it would take to remove 246 bodies from 4 planes and put them on another one....
Then they had to dispose of 4 airliners, and explain the loss of 4 others....
if truthers just stopped and thought about their conspiracy logically for a few minutes, they would realise how stupid it was!
