nobody is sweeping aside what zaphod is saying. He is probably the most qualified person here to comment on aircraft. I'm sorry that doesn't mean someone can't have a difference of opinion. As for the interview, if you are that blind that you can't see that for what it really is then that is your problem. As for the impact area? Are you an air crash investigator? If not, it makes me or anyone else just as qualified to comment on the crash site as you. If you could point me to photos and videos of buckling and instability of building seven that would be great. The fact of the matter is, the official theory of the attacks and collapse is just that. A theory. If there was concrete evidence it was nothing more we wouldn't still be debating it nearly 14 years on. Your government is as criminal and evasive now as it was then, and they get away with it because of people holding the sort of attitude you do.

I can only imagine how frustrating this may be for you. You clearly have a very solid background on airplanes and such, yet you've got 20 different people with little to no knowledge of airplanes trying to argue points who are so steadfast in their beliefs that they are actually blinded by fact and reason. I completely agree with everything you've said, and find it baffling how people can buy into this absurd theory which has absolutely ZERO factual basis. It's like these people want so badly to believe 9/11 was a false flag, they will instantly buy into any theory that sounds complicated and contains complex lingo. Many of the valid points you've brought up have been swiftly side-stepped and ignored by these people, and I feel for you how annoying that must be.
The fact that they are pulling up a video of an interview in the moments after the building collapse, and attempting to discredit the validity of the interview by arbitrarily concluding that the interviewee is an actor is truly absurd. There is absolutely no factual basis for this. Additionally, questioning the picture of the Shanksville impact site because it doesn't show what they think it should look like. Ironically, they fail to understand that they have no expertise or proper background to assess what an impact site should look like. There are so many examples of plane crashes where wreckage is buried and completely unidentifiable as having ever been a plane. Lastly, if they actually did the proper research, they would discover that building 7 was actually suffering from immense structural instability throughout the day, which eventually lead to its collapse. They are somehow baffled how debris from Tower 1 could have caused this, despite videos that clearly show buckling and instability of the building.
One question I have, which I may have missed because I did not read through the entire absurd theory, is what happened to all of the passengers in this plane-swap fiasco?

In an exclusive interview, I just finished speaking with key Boston Marathon eyewitness and running participant Alastair Stevenson, who has confirmed to me that drills were taking place the morning of the Boston Marathon complete with bomb squads and rooftop snipers.

Police completed a terror training exercise which envisaged an attack on London's transport network just days before the 7/7 atrocity, an inquest heard today.
During the 'table top' drill, officers were asked to respond to imaginary bombings at Waterloo, Embankment and St James's Park Underground stations.
But there was absolutely no intelligence at the time to suggest such an attack was imminent, the hearing was told.

Zaphods aircraft knowledge is great...but his interest in many conspiracy sites is even more interesting to me...like I said to warthog....always be aware of whom you are speaking...the point of this thread I believe is not directly about the aircraft...but more about the operation simulations taking place before...during..and after said incidents.

Then there was sandyhook..where people were saying there was also a drill taking place...but the debunkers quickly got hold of it saying the document was faked.

Just coincidence I imagine

it is interesting that you compare this crash site to Lockerbie as 103 was destroyed in the air. The destroyed parts of the aircraft created a much larger scar in the ground that the one 93 supposedly created. So how do smaller, damaged parts of an aircraft create a much larger hole than an entire aircraft hitting the ground in one piece?

Cheers to the two OP's for an outstanding thread! It is so clear that we are not only have been decieived and lied to, but that they continue to try to manipulate our opinion with authorities posting on message boards like this, as "credible experts". I am a late bloomer on this one, having only tuned into the truth for a few months.
I, for one, am not going to stand for it anymore. It is now my life's mission to make my small group of contacts aware of the truth on 9/11. If we all make only 10 people aware of the truth, we can have a huge impact and blow up the official story for good.
A real investigation will result and the real 9/11 criminals can be brought to justice. We all need to work harder to get the truth out to the masses. We don't control the MSM, but we control ourselves and our actions. Who is with me?
so why weren't the aluminium sheets that made up the wings and fuselage left either on the surface or partially embedded in the ground? I don't believe they followed the more dense and solid parts of the aircraft into the holes made by them.

The comparison was for one reason, to show the relative small size of craters from impact by airplane debris. The crater is never going to be as 'big as a jet liner', only the most densest parts are heavy enough to "make a crater".
Same question was asked at the pentagon… why is the hole so small?
An airline appears big but is mostly air (called an airframe) that is hollow with heavier parts like engines and landing gear.
The heavy denser parts make holes in the ground, not some "aluminum sheet metal".
The Marriott hotel had both towers fall almost directly down upon it and the remaining structure never fell.
the towers never fell on wtc7 though and it wasn't right underneath them when they fell.

Apples and oranges. The towers were constructed differently, cement floors suspended inside a steel exo skeleton "tube".
By the way, the towers didn't "both fall directly down on the Marriot". The parts of the hotel that were impacted directly were destroyed by tower debris, not whole towers. By the time the cloud of debris reached the Marriot it was a churning mass of girders and pulverized cement.

Battalion Chief John Norman Special Operations Command - 22 years From there, we looked out at 7 World Trade Center again. You could see smoke, but no visible fire, and some damage to the south face. You couldn’t really see from where we were on the west face of the building, but at the edge of the south face you could see that it was very heavily damaged. www.firehouse.com...
Captain Chris Boyle Engine 94 - 18 years Boyle: ...on the north and east side of 7 it didn’t look like there was any damage at all, but then you looked on the south side of 7 there had to be a hole 20 stories tall in the building, with fire on several floors. Debris was falling down on the building and it didn’t look good. Firehouse: When you looked at the south side, how close were you to the base of that side? Boyle: I was standing right next to the building, probably right next to it. Firehouse: When you had fire on the 20 floors, was it in one window or many? Boyle: There was a huge gaping hole and it was scattered throughout there. It was a huge hole. I would say it was probably about a third of it, right in the middle of it. And so after Visconti came down and said nobody goes in 7, we said all right, we’ll head back to the command post. We lost touch with him. I never saw him again that day. www.firehouse.com...
..Captain Varriale told Chief Coloe and myself that 7 World Trade Center was badly damaged on the south side and definitely in danger of collapse. Chief Coloe said we were going to evacuate the collapse zone around 7 World Trade Center, which we did. graphics8.nytimes.com...
The biggest decision we had to make was to clear the area and create a collapse zone around the severely damaged [WTC Building 7]. A number of fire officers and companies assessed the damage to the building. The appraisals indicated that the building's integrity was in serious doubt. www.cooperativeresearch.org...
Deputy Chief Peter Hayden Division 1 - 33 years ...also we were pretty sure that 7 World Trade Center would collapse. Early on, we saw a bulge in the southwest corner between floors 10 and 13, and we had put a transit on that and we were pretty sure she was going to collapse. You actually could see there was a visible bulge, it ran up about three floors. It came down about 5 o’clock in the afternoon, but by about 2 o’clock in the afternoon we realized this thing was going to collapse. Firehouse: Was there heavy fire in there right away? Hayden: No, not right away, and that’s probably why it stood for so long because it took a while for that fire to develop. It was a heavy body of fire in there and then we didn’t make any attempt to fight it. That was just one of those wars we were just going to lose. We were concerned about the collapse of a 47-story building there. We were worried about additional collapse there of what was remaining standing of the towers and the Marriott, so we started pulling the people back after a couple of hours of surface removal and searches along the surface of the debris. We started to pull guys back because we were concerned for their safety. www.firehouse.com...
