Maybe because they were going by the names on the manifests? They had tickets, therefore they were listed on the manifests, and they could identify them by that.

Gents,
For the love of sanity, we are not looking at pictures of "melted cars", we are looking at pictures of bunt out cars some of which also show damage inflicted by falling debris.

But didn't they use fake IDs to get the tickets ?? So the names on the manifests would have been fake.
So where did they get the list ?

Maybe for the cars but not the bigger vehicles like the firetrucks.

Betty Ong and others NEVER used their names, which you would know if you bothered to read the earlier quotes. She told them that they were "FOUR MIDDLE EASTERN MEN THAT CAME FROM FIRST CLASS" however she WOULD have had the names that were on the manifest, because the crew has access to that list with seat numbers. So if she knew exactly what seats they came from she COULD have given their names.

Can you please clarify exactly what you are suggesting. You appear to be saying that fire trucks, (which happen to be attending a scene of immense fire and carnage), are too big to get burnt which is frankly absurd.

How do you know that they ARE real names? The came out with a LIST OF NAMES, I don't know if they're the real names of the hijackers, or if they're fake names or what. All I said was that it was REPORTED that a pilot with a similar/same name as a hijacker REPORTED that his uniform and passport were stolen. I don't think they ever knew if it was a hijacker on 9/11 that stole it or if it was someone else.

They had eyewitnesses from most of the flights saying they were middle eastern, so the chances were good that if it was a middle eastern male it was one of them. It's not like they were starting from "He was 5'6 with dark hair and a beard" and suddenly coming up with a name in a matter of hours. They HAD the names that were used already from the airlines.

It would have taken more then just some little fires to melt the tires and metal on the bigger trucks.

9-11 hijackers set off airport detectors
Nine of the Sept. 11 hijackers were flagged for extra screening and at least three set off metal detectors but were still able to board their planes with dangerous weapons because of a weak air-security system, a federal commission disclosed....(Knight-Ridder, 28 Jan 04)
5 hijackers flew despite red flags
By 7:35 a.m. on Sept. 11, 2001, all five hijackers on American Airlines Flight 77 had been tagged by a passenger pre-screening program as "a risk to aircraft safety," and four had set off magnetometer alarms at airport checkpoints, according to staff reports presented yesterday to the independent 9/11 panel.....(Newsday, 28 Jan 04)

Rubber tyres really do burn ever so well, (and so much better than the wheels they are fitted to), and no one has yet shown me a photograph of a melted fire truck.

So you expected us to stop anyone who set off a walkthrough metal detector from getting on the planes? (Yes us. I was a screener on that day.)

the car you showed still looks like the engine is there and the tires and it doesn't look melted at all

Yes the FBI said they knew who they were. Because they had the names used on the Manifest. If they were fake names, then it doesn't change that they still knew who hijacked the plane. I can say that my name is Bob Smith on the manifest, when it's really John Doe, and if I hijack the plane they still know that I did it if they know what seats I came from or have a description of me from on the plane.
