Took me 2 mins to find through yahoo by searching for "flight 93 tail in service".
Perhaps investigating is just not your "thing".

GW’s brother Marvin on the board of Securicom for one thing. It just did not add up. Some people can’t imagine that our government would butcher us in broad daylight with wild abandon but I believe that they did exactly that.
Even Noam Chomsky when asked if he believed in MIHOP answered “They would have to be insane” and this from one of America’s leading dissidents who often refers to American foreign policy in terms of mass murder and genocide. If MIHOP is that difficult for even Noam Chomsky wrap his massive intellect around you can bet it is not easy for the average person.
I find it is more effective to just mention a few things like the PUT orders and Poppy Bush’s brunch with Osama’s brother on 9/11 and Marvin Bush and leave it at that and let the seed grow on its own.
It’s a bitter brew that takes a long time to ferment. Once I was “down the rabbit hole” everything made much more sense. Gulf of Tonkin, Pearl Harbor, the Lusitania, remember the Main all the way back to Crassis. Coupled with rigged elections we have a very big problem in this country.
LIHOP is pretty much the same as MIHOP to me. I see LIHOP as a way of getting people to be able to cross the rubicon and make the passage through the looking glass possible.

TABLOID n. 1. A term used to describe several of the national newspapers, specifically THE SUN, THE DAILY STAR, THE DAILY MIRROR, THE DAILY EXPRESS, THE MORNING STAR (the socialist paper) and THE DAILY MAIL. A TABLOID'S page is small (being approximately one-half the page size of a standard newspaper). They are characterised by outlandish, sensationalist headlines at the slightest whim of news. The TABLOIDS were especially active during the Falklands crisis (although real news is not a prerequisite for a TABLOID).
The TABLOIDS are very popular and competition is fierce among them for readers. THE SUN and the DAILY STAR sport a bare breasted BIRD to keep the readers attention (should the reader get bored with the shallow amount of information in the rest of the paper). The DAILY MAIL has been distancing itself (in respectability) from the other TABLOIDS and more closely approximates a newspaper. See also PAGE THREE and FLEETSTREET.
The Times:
Read by the people who run the country.
Daily Mirror:
Read by the people who think they run the country.
Guardian:
Read by the people who think they ought to run the country.
Morning Star:
Read by the people who think the country ought to be run by another country.
Daily Mail:
Read by the wives of the people who own the country.
Financial Times:
Read by the people who own the country.
Daily Express:
Read by the people who think that the country ought to be run as it used to be.
Daily Telegraph:
Read by the people who think it still is.
The Sun:
Their readers don't care who runs the country as long as she has big tits.

The rank and file members of Al Qaida don’t know, except at the top of course, that they serve the interests of Bush, the oil companies and Israel.
But before we get to all that we need to hear a fireman with a flag on his helmet tell us that he heard multiple explosions in the WTC.

You don't know anything what happed to that guy yet you swallow the story of him being incompetent. I guess it's just another coincidence that yet another whistleblower is fired from his job?
Plus, you keep repeatig evidence of how people that find holes in the official report are gagged. But your vision has become so narrow that you miss the actual cause of that person being fired.
I'm pretty sure you don't even know what an ASTM standard is, but you will look it up by the time you reply wont you ?
The ASTM E119 fire test method provides a comparative benchmark to measure the fire resistance of building assemblies. The fire test-chamber conditions specified by the ASTM E119 test are representative of a fully developed fire within most buildings. This fire condition does not and cannot replicate every fire situation. The hourly fire-resistive ratings based on an ASTM E119 test do not mean that a specific structure will remain intact for the indicated rating period.

Contrary to Kevin Ryan’s contention, just because the steel samples passed ASTM E119 does not mean that the truss assemblies were impervious to failure in a fire. Also, I believe that the endpoint for the ASTM E119 test on steel beams occurs when either all of the thermocouples on the sample reach an average of 1000 F or any individual thermocouples on the sample exceed 1200 F, not 2000 F as is his claim.

Dr. Gayle,
Having recently reviewed your team's report of 10/19/04, I felt the need to contact you directly.
As I'm sure you know, the company I work for certified the steel components used in the construction of the WTC buildings. In requesting information from both our CEO and Fire Protection business manager last year, I learned that they did not agree on the essential aspects of the story, except for one thing - that the samples we certified met all requirements. They suggested we all be patient and understand that UL was working with your team, and that tests would continue through this year. I'm aware of UL's attempts to help, including performing tests on models of the floor assemblies. But the results of these tests appear to indicate that the buildings should have easily withstood the thermal stress caused by pools of burning jet fuel.
There continues to be a number of "experts" making public claims about how the WTC buildings fell. One such person, Dr. Hyman Brown from the WTC construction crew, claims that the buildings collapsed due to fires at 2000F melting the steel (1). He states "What caused the building to collapse is the airplane fuel . . . burning at 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The steel in that five-floor area melts." Additionally, the newspaper that quotes him says "Just-released preliminary findings from a National Institute of Standards and Technology study of the World Trade Center collapse support Brown's theory."
We know that the steel components were certified to ASTM E119. The time temperature curves for this standard require the samples to be exposed to temperatures around 2000F for several hours. And as we all agree, the steel applied met those specifications. Additionally, I think we can all agree that even un-fireproofed steel will not melt until reaching red-hot temperatures of nearly 3000F (2). Why Dr. Brown would imply that 2000F would melt the high-grade steel used in those buildings makes no sense at all.
The results of your recently published metallurgical tests seem to clear things up (3), and support your team's August 2003 update as detailed by the Associated Press (4), in which you were ready to "rule out weak steel as a contributing factor in the collapse". The evaluation of paint deformation and spheroidization seem very straightforward, and you noted that the samples available were adequate for the investigation. Your comments suggest that the steel was probably exposed to temperatures of only about 500F (250C), which is what one might expect from a thermodynamic analysis of the situation.
However the summary of the new NIST report seems to ignore your findings, as it suggests that these low temperatures caused exposed bits of the building's steel core to "soften and buckle"(5). Additionally this summary states that the perimeter columns softened, yet your findings make clear that "most perimeter panels (157 of 160) saw no temperature above 250C". To soften steel for the purposes of forging, normally temperatures need to be above 1100C (6). However, this new summary report suggests that much lower temperatures were be able to not only soften the steel in a matter of minutes, but lead to rapid structural collapse.
This story just does not add up. If steel from those buildings did soften or melt, I'm sure we can all agree that this was certainly not due to jet fuel fires of any kind, let alone the briefly burning fires in those towers. That fact should be of great concern to all Americans. Alternatively, the contention that this steel did fail at temperatures around 250C suggests that the majority of deaths on 9/11 were due to a safety-related failure. That suggestion should be of great concern to my company.
There is no question that the events of 9/11 are the emotional driving force behind the War on Terror. And the issue of the WTC collapse is at the crux of the story of 9/11. My feeling is that your metallurgical tests are at the crux of the crux of the crux. Either you can make sense of what really happened to those buildings, and communicate this quickly, or we all face the same destruction and despair that come from global decisions based on disinformation and "chatter".
Thanks for your efforts to determine what happened on that day. You may know that there are a number of other current and former government employees that have risked a great deal to help us to know the truth. I've copied one of these people on this message as a sign of respect and support. I believe your work could also be a nucleus of fact around which the truth, and thereby global peace and justice, can grow again. Please do what you can to quickly eliminate the confusion regarding the ability of jet fuel fires to soften or melt structural steel.

what is wrong with that ? would the world be a better place if the tin-foil hat brigade ran everything ?
glimpse of that reality, young jenny goes to first day of school
jenny: "good morning miss smith, how are you today ?"

Your absolutely right, both you us and everyone else wants exactly the same thing. Too many people don't appear to be able to appreciate and enjoy the freedoms we enjoy. I don't know why that is, maybe they need to get out more - who knows!
So many people, including me, always complain about how hard done by we are yet when you look at the tips that are some parts of the world, we are so much better off.
All these new laws come in, but I havn't yet seen them affect me or anyone I know in our normal and fulfilling day to day lives. When I do then I might start to believe it.
I think more people should go out and enjoy the freedoms they have and also try and look at other parts of the world and even visit them so they can get a better perspective on things.
From what I've seen (including my own behaviour - especially in the past) the biggest restriction on a happy life is always being paranoid of and looking for conspiracies to the extreme. You soon become so paranoid you think you cannot do anything and as it takes over your life you stop noticing all the many, many things you can do.
Shroomery, you accuse others of being ignorant but why do you think your agenda is the right one? You too are merely going by what someone else's opinon is the same as the rest of us, yours has a different agenda that's all. That doesn't mean he or they are right any more so than you argue the government arn't.
Repeating parrot fashion theories with little or no understanding is not proof and if we are guilty of ignorance then it is no more so than you.
I suggest that if you are wrong in your ideas then you should be out there enjoying life while you can, rather than waste it away.
If you are right than I also suggest you get out there and enjoy life, while you still can.

I'm so sick of your dreamworld
While you just don't have the attentionspan or the braincapacity to listen to someone talk about the REAL problems
Some people have clearly pointed those important matters out in different threads instead of rambling about the details, some of the best points I've seen so far are in those posts. Yet none of you coincidence fairies even touched the subject.
Half the country is FIGHTING for your freedom right this very moment, and all you do is attack them for that same reason.
You make me sick.
