What are you, Mr. Lonely heart? I didn't say anything about lightpoles in my post, I was talking about the thread topic "Undamaged Hood". Why dont you disprove that, or why there isnt a single picture of any parts from a wing had it clipped a lightpole on its way into the Pentagon. How did the plane manuever so perfectly after having clipped a lightpole, and not once touching the ground?
Thank you.
For some reason the point of the thread keeps getting ignored.
Lloyd's account is physically impossible therefore this "evidence" for a 757 is extremely suspect.

But you see as I told Valhall; Lloyd is the only one that had direct contact with the poles and he puts a human face and pictures of physical damage to the pole story.
Contrary to popular belief there are almost no eyewitnesses that claim to have actually SEEN the poles get knocked down.
Same with the actual plane impact.
Yes a lot of people saw a plane......but very few claim they saw it impact.
Naturally if the poles and other mechanical damage was staged a couple of planted witnesses would be used as well.

There is no sign of explosives on any of the poles.
I suggest the original poles were taken down the night before and the pre-damaged poles were in nearby vehicles and planted just before or just after impact.

I find a few things just downright wierd about this whole account..
1) The person that helped pull the pole from his car had time to stop his car, rush to loyds car pull out the pole and then see the pentagon hit? Right.. some slooooww flying plane then eh?
2) A plane, going 500 mph flies so low it hits a light post on a highway, yet his 2 ton car is unmoved in anyway. The vacume from a plane going that fast that low should have rolled his car over, I have problems driving my car in a thunderstorm with strong winds let alone a 500 mph gust.
3) had a pole been struck by a plane going 500mph it would have been disinigrated (along with whateer part of the plane that struck the pole) if it did manage to survive, it would not be intact like the pictures suggest. Also, had the pole been hit and shot towards his car, I think the pole would have shot right through his car, it would have severly injured him and would have taken more then a little hole out of his windshield.
3) Whether or not you listen to Ike, which I do not believe a word he says, it is rather ironic that he was reading that book when the planes hit on 9/11. I think that to be more coincidence, an amusing one at that. His account for the day I think is far to shady to be usefull, I mean imagine you where right there when the pentagon got hit, you would account for every second, this guy seems to remember very little, doesnt even know what hit his own car, and could not account for the plane debris.

Why "stage" the pole knockdowns?
It seems so preposterous to even consider it.
As far as I can deduce, the reason some people insist the poles were knocked down manually was to clear a path for the jet (which was ostensibly piloted by an inexperienced terrorist). Is that your point?

No.
I don't believe there was an actual impact from a jet. The poles were planted as evidence.
The physical damage was simulated.
We interviewed many eyewitnesses, some published and some random that we found in the neighborhood businesses and residences.
There is no question that a plane flew by low and fast in the area.
But the eyewitness accounts AS WELL AS the FDR data do not match up with the physical damage.
The flight path is way off.
The plane flew over the pentagon and the damage was faked with explosives/incendiariers.

Incorrect. There aren't even "hundreds" of witnesses of the plane in general! Only a handful mention the poles at all and I have yet to find one that claims they actually witnessed them being hit. Most simply saw the cab and the downed poles and simply deduced they were hit.
Anything on the ground could have been easily staged with bombs etc. Only something with the wing span of a 757 could have knocked down the poles if they weren't staged in advance.
Yes that is from Russell Pickering's site who was on the trip with us. He wrote that before the trip. He was incorrect about the amount of witnesses to the poles. There are very few and they could have been plants or sensationalizing off what they deduced happened. I find it funny how you refuse to acknowledge the part of Lloyd's account that I am claiming is impossible. His undamaged hood. Even Russell agrees this would have been impossible.
"Father Stephen McGraw was driving to a graveside service at Arlington National Cemetery the morning of Sept. 11, when he mistakenly took the Pentagon exit onto Washington Boulevard, putting him in a position to witness American Airlines Flight 77 crash into the Pentagon. 'I was in the left hand lane with my windows closed. I did not hear anything at all until the plane was just right above our cars.' McGraw estimates that the plane passed about 20 feet over his car, as he waited in the left hand lane of the road, on the side closest to the Pentagon. 'The plane clipped the top of a light pole just before it got to us, injuring a taxi driver, whose taxi was just a few feet away from my car. I saw it crash into the building,' he said. 'My only memories really were that it looked like a plane coming in for a landing. I mean in the sense that it was controlled and sort of straight. That was my impression,' he said. 'There was an explosion and a loud noise and I felt the impact. I remember seeing a fireball come out of two windows (of the Pentagon). I saw an explosion of fire billowing through those two windows.'"
The amount of eye witnesses who stated they saw a plane running down light poles when crossing the the highways. at least 19

Oh yes there were.
urbanlegends.about.com...
Witnesses all around the city and as far away as the freeway saw it.
Anything on the ground could have been easily staged with bombs etc. Only something with the wing span of a 757 could have knocked down the poles if they weren't staged in advance.
Since there is no evidence of bombs around the pentagon, and it was broad daylight, Im going to say, this is even more physically impossible.

However, the facts stand. Acording to the people who made the light poles, they were not that heavy.
And there were other witnesses to the lightpoles.

I even recall a story where one of the flight instructors of the terrorists said they were not incompetent as commonly described by conspiracy theorists. He in fact said his students were capable to flying the jets in the way that occurred on 911.
Translation - 'Don't choose my flight school, to learn to fly in, because my students are so inept at graduation that they can't hit the broadside of a barn.'
What did you think he is going to say?
So you automatically discount his opinion (even before I have a chance to find a link to it). Sounds like you have a pre-conceived agenda to me.
No matter which links I provide, you wil simply come up with some reason why those opinions should be discarded????

And if you read other posts here, you will find there were dozens if not 100s of witnesses to the plane impacting the Pentagon.
The easiest way to simulate an attack on the Pentagon--is duh--to attack he Pentagon with a real jet airliner full of people using a real terrorist pilot.
All Bush (if Bush instigated the attack) had to do was make a phone call to the Bin Laden family (close friends and business partners) and ask them to arrange for it to happen. Simple as that! No witnesses! No tell-tale blood on any American's hands! No complicated planning and phone records to worry about!
Instead, you have Bush calling numerous people across the country arranging to have a jet airliner simulate an impact, then fly it somewhere out of ATC and USAF eyes, and have the passengers murdered and disposed of, and have someone else use explosives to topple the light poles so that it would appear the jet knocked them down, and have teams of loyal FBI agents confiscating radar tapes and threatening ATC and USAF personell to keep quiet about the reality that they saw the jet fly over the Pentagon instead of hitting it, and so on.
Had the WTC jets not been video taped, you all would be claiming no jets hit the WTC.
Actual forensic evidence proves a jet struck the Pentagon. Witnesses have testified to it. And common sense dictates that the your alternative scenarios are significantly more difficult to carry out than simply hijacking a jet and flying it into the Pentagon.
If (a big if) Bush instigated 911, he did it with a simple phone call to the Bin Laden family instead of risking all and having other Ameircans to the dirty deed in a way that only simulates an attack with a jetliner. Period! End of story!

Dude. That is NOT an engine. It is part of a destroyed trailer. This has been debunked.

Dozens that saw a plane.....yes.......but that saw the impact? Nope.

You are making stuff up. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Whatever dude. You are not only making stuff up but you are mischaracterizing my claims. This doesn't even deserve a response.

I have never met you. Why do you think it is ok to make stuff up about what I would think about a hypothetical situation?

There is plenty of evidence to the contrary and that is my point.
