    This is something to nitpick about. What difference would it have made if he decided to sit and read to kids or just leave immediately. It not like his actions would have made a difference.

    I applaud some of you for fighting the good fight but I don't see why even bother. I've skimmed through the latest pages of this thread and there still is so much misinformation, selective reading of facts and ignorance especially when it comes to construction. Others like myself who work in the field have long ago addressed these issues yet the same arguments still get trotted out. Further you have others who claim that the hijackings didn't take place even though we have the cell phone evidence from the people on the hijacked flights saying they were. We also have the evidence from Flight 93 of the passengers trying to take flight back. These weren't fictional individuals and included Jeremy Glick who was a former Judo champion and someone who friends of mine had trained and fought against.

    What we have instead is people who continue to claim that no evidence has been presented when mountains of evidence has been presented to them yet somehow they would rather believe YouTube videos.

    This is one of our biggest problems. The combination of ignorance with arrogance. Where healthy skepticism instead becomes fervent belief that validates a view because only a few people believe it.

    On the day of the tragedy, I found a shiny rock and put it in my pocket as a reminder of that fateful day.

    There has not been another similar attack since I started carrying that rock.

    The rock is obviously magical.

    I will sell it to the highest bidder.

    Do you have any youtube videos to back this claim?

    You are attacking his superiority illusion. The U.S. federal government is too powerful to just sit back and not startle the kids. I think South Park did an episode about this where George W was trying to convince the kids that the government was all powerful and all knowing.

    Why are there no videos of i-beams failing under minor load due to high temperatures. Oh, wait, what's that?

    I'll say what everyone should: I do not know what else is going on in your world, but you really need to reevaluate things and possibly talk to a professional. You are not mentally healthy.

    A truly excellent post, Judo. Kudos! Now if only some folks around here would actually pay attention.

    my coworker lost his brother on flight 93. he was one of the publicized "heroes" who fought the terrorists.

    I'm sure my friend has just been acting like he's been grieving this whole time, because you know, the plane never really crashed.

    Try to think beyond one step.

    Sure people died and it was very terrible. It's just not clear how they died.

    Flight 93 was shot down because the US air defenses did what they were supposed to do, despite other elements in the government trying to prevent the US air defense performing its proper function.

    Flame away. . . .

    OK, this is a "friend of a friend" thing, but. . . .

    I am home in the DC area for the holidays. My brother-in-law is a firefighter. He answered the call in NYC on 9/11. Now he is a DC-area firefighter and rather connected.

    So, I was telling him all my theories about 9/11, which he did not buy--building 7, etc etc. BUT, when I said "Flight 93 was shot down over Shanksville" he said "Yes, I know the guy who shot it down." Actually, brother-in-law's old friend, a fire truck driver at his station, lives next door to either the guy who shot it down or his brother. I asked him to repeat it two more times.

    In short, he believes the whole official 9/11 story, but he agreed immediately that Flight 93 was shot down by a U.S. fighter and said he will give me the name of the guy who did it.

    So, then why doesn't he go public along with the guy who shot it down (after all, he is willing to tell you his name, so it's not like it's a secret - right?)?

    That's exactly what he said. "The price of freedom."

    Another story: last night I went out to dinner with a guy who works at NPR. He said Jamie McIntyre also worked at NPR. He said Jamie McIntyre flat out denies that he ever said the words in this video. He said, "Somebody got to him."

    1. Give us your opinion on the video I posted above.

    2. Flight 93 may very well have been shot down which completely ruins conspiracy theories -- why wouldn't it have been allowed to hit its target?

    Yeah sure: "Hey everyone, I shot down a US passenger plane!" If I got his name, I would not publicize it either. It sure would not help him. Suppose it were true. No one here would believe it anyway. He doesn't even have proof, I imagine.

    1. I dutifully watched your video. I never expressed an opinion on jet fuel. But you're asking my opinion on the video. I don't see its relevance to 9/11. That's my opinion.

    2. I do not think the fighter pilot would have been in on any "conspiracy".
