The Whitehouse Attempt
The 9/11 attacks were allegedly a series of 4 coordinated terrorist attacks on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. 2 planes targeted the WTC, another aimed at the Pentagon, while the final plane attacked the Whitehouse.
United Airlines Flight 93 was a domestic passenger flight, allegedly hijacked by 4 terrorists as part of the September 11 attacks. The official report states that it crashed into a field in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, during an attempt by the passengers and crew to regain control.
All 44 people aboard were killed, including the 4 hijackers, but no one at ground level was injured.
One of the main issues of Flight 93 boils down to one question; if you examined this field searching for proof that a Boeing 757 has crashed here, leaving most of the 100 tonne airliner buried beneath the surface, could you distinguish it?
This is the type of bewilderment that civilians of Shanksville experienced upon arriving at the crash site of Flight 93.
"Nothing, it was just little pieces. There was nothing, like a door or window, it was just little pieces of shrapnel everywhere." A statement from a Shanksville resident.
Television reporters were also at a loss when faced with the idea that an actual plane had crashed onsite.
"He's a photographer, he was back there a couple of minutes ago. Chris, I've seen the pictures, it looks like there's nothing there except for a hole in the ground." A statement from a television reporter onsite.
"My brother-in-law and a friend of mine were among the first ones to arrive. They were standing in Shanksville, on the corner of the street, their car was right there. They were the first ones to arrive, even before the firefighters arrived. Everybody was dumbfounded, they had been sent to an airplane crash site, and there's no airplane. No airplane." A statement from the mayor of Shanksville, Ernie Stuhl.
"It's in this hole," says FBI, "that most of the airplane lays buried beneath the ground. Much of the plane and its contents were found beneath the soft dirt."
"Evidence technicians found the flight data recorder approximately 12 feet below the surface, and the cockpit voice recorder about 25 feet deep."
Since the 2 blackboxes are located in the tail of the plane, it should be concluded that the cockpit, most of the fuselage, the passenger seats, bodies and their belongings somehow managed to become buried deep underground. The only individuals who could not question this type of explanation are the debunkers.
"We have this idea that when planes crash, they crack in half, there's this dramatic burning wreckage." Jim Meigs, Editor in Chief of Popular Mechanics states. "That's what happens when planes crash at very low speeds. This plane was flying straight down, it penetrated into soft ground with incredible blunt."
"This was a different kind of crash. The plane was almost vertical when it crashed at an extremely high speed. The plane nearly pressed itself into the ground, producing a small crater. Whatever is left ends up mostly in the ground." A statement from Massimo Polidoro, debunker & CICAP.
The plane did not crash vertically. According to the NTSB flight path, the 757 hit the ground at an angle of approximately 45 degrees. This fact removes much of the exceptionality the debunkers would like to attach to this event.
