Captain Obvious in Quotation
Think of this - strike a match and quickly pass your finger through it. Did you get burned? No. Try the same thing with a piece of paper. Or grass.
The fuel blew AWAY from where the photog was standing at impact, towards the trees. Remember the 40 degree impact angle? It was angled towards the trees. That's why the grass and trees on that side were burnt in that direction. Simple for most to understand that.
The grass is not untouched. That's what you believe. I do not. Therefore, from my point of view, your q is invalid.
The wings shattered into small pieces upon impact. Only small scattered pieces remained. Or are you suggesting that one would find intact wings?
The fuel was atomized and formed the fireball, some spread into the trees, catching them on fire.
Lack of fire? Did I mention the trees? Do you see them in YOUR photos?
Prove alleged Flight 93 ever existed as touted by the "official" reports.
Flight 93: Evidence Summary: 10 Points
Transcript of Tom’s last calls to Deena
6:54 a.m. Fourth cell phone call to Tom to Deena
Deena: Tom?
Tom: Hi. Anything new?
Deena: No
Tom: Where are the kids?
Deena: They’re fine. They’re sitting at the table having breakfast. They’re asking to talk to you.
Tom: Tell them I’ll talk to them later
Deena: I called your parents. They know your plane has been hijacked.
Tom: Oh…you shouldn’t have worried them. How are they doing?
Deena: They’re O.K.. Mary and Martha are with them.
Tom: Good. (a long quiet pause) We’re waiting until we’re over a rural area. We’re going to take back the airplane.
Deena: No! Sit down, be still, be quiet, and don’t draw attention to yourself! (The exact words taught to me by Delta Airlines Flight Attendant Training).
Tom: Deena! If they’re going to crash this plane into the ground, we’re going to have do something!
Deena: What about the authorities?
Tom: We can’t wait for the authorities. I don’t know what they could do anyway.
It’s up to us. I think we can do it.
Deena: What do you want me to do?
Tom: Pray, Deena, just pray.
Deena: (after a long pause) I love you.
Tom: Don’t worry, we’re going to do something.
He hung up
'I Promised I Wouldn't Hang Up'
Lisa Jefferson, the phone supervisor who took Todd Beamer's call on Flight 93, believes God called her for a purpose.
Interview by Wendy Schuman
Operator can't forget haunting cries from Flight 93
By WES SMITH, The Orlando Sentinel
Lisa D. Jefferson cannot silence the haunting cries, "the hollering and the screaming" that were the anguished background to her 13-minute conversation with United Flight 93 passenger Todd Beamer before the hijacked plane crashed in rural Pennsylvania.
The Westmoreland County 911 dispatcher who took a cell phone call from a frantic passenger aboard hijacked United Airlines Flight 93 says he was just doing his job when he tried to calm the man and obtain more information about what was happening aboard the jetliner.
John Shaw: Received a call from Flight 93
Wednesday, September 11, 2002
John Shaw still has dreams about the phone call he answered while working as a 911 dispatcher in Westmoreland County last Sept. 11.
AFTER THE ATTACKS: THE PENNSYLVANIA CRASH; Searchers Find Plane Cockpit Voice Recorder
Hundreds of searchers who climbed the hemlocks and combed the woods for weeks were able to find about 1,500 mostly scorched samples of human tissue totaling less than 600 pounds, or about 8 percent of the total.

Since you are the one so gung ho on insisting phone calls were made, which your accounting presented adds to already mass confusion - calls made at 0 altitude which means ground level - why don't you prove how that was possible, if alleged Flight 93 was supposed to always be in the air between alleged take-off/crash landing?
Your side's evidence is ruining your own case. Until you can straight out your own problems, it is wisdom not to tell anyone else to prove anything to you. What you are telling me to do is prove your case for you, and I am not doing that.

7 falsely alleged hijackers were found alive overseas on 9/12/2001. Confirmed by the FBI and BBC. People cannot be dead and alive at the same time.
Anything else you need refuted from what you presented?
A five-year-old story from our archive has been the subject of some recent editorial discussion here. The story, written in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, was about confusion at the time surrounding the names and identities of some of the hijackers. This confusion was widely reported and was also acknowledged by the FBI.
The story has been cited ever since by some as evidence that the 9/11 attacks were part of a US government conspiracy.
We later reported on the list of hijackers, thereby superseding the earlier report. In the intervening years we have also reported in detail on the investigation into the attacks, the 9/11 commission and its report.
We’ve carried the full report, executive summary and main findings and, as part of the recent fifth anniversary coverage, a detailed guide to what’s known about what happened on the day. But conspiracy theories have persisted. The confusion over names and identities we reported back in 2001 may have arisen because these were common Arabic and Islamic names.
In an effort to make this clearer, we have made one small change to the original story. Under the FBI picture of Waleed al Shehri we have added the words "A man called Waleed Al Shehri..." to make it as clear as possible that there was confusion over the identity. The rest of the story remains as it was in the archive as a record of the situation at the time.
We recently asked the FBI for a statement, and this is, as things stand, the closest thing we have to a definitive view: The FBI is confident that it has positively identified the nineteen hijackers responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Also, the 9/11 investigation was thoroughly reviewed by the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States and the House and Senate Joint Inquiry. Neither of these reviews ever raised the issue of doubt about the identity of the nineteen hijackers.

Call 1. Jeremey Glick
Jeremy told his wife to take care of Emmy (Emerson), their 12-week-old daughter, and "have a good life."
He asked his wife not to hang up. He was going to leave the air phone off the hook while the group of passengers tried to implement their takeover. But she couldn't bear to listen and handed the phone to her father. Lyzbeth Glick's father heard rustling, a brief silence, then more rustling from the open line to the plane. Then screams followed by dead silence
Call 2 Todd Beamer
The phone line from Flight 93 was still open when a GTE operator heard Todd Beamer say: 'Are you guys ready? Let's roll'

Beamer was posthumously awarded with the Arthur Ashe Courage Award in 2002
Ok, there are the two calls in question. Your turn to explain the others.
I see, you know. I know that Flight 93 existed.
I know 401 existed.
How was that proved? By the same NTSB and FAA that proved Flight 93 crashed? Can you provide me with valid physical evidence, or parts with serial numbers from that aircraft? Remember, this is your standard so you must stick to it.
That was proved long ago, as was the illegal lifting of 401's crashed aircraft parts, while illegally placing them in another plane.
I read the link you gave me. No mention of illegal parts or the FAA being interested in them.
Did you bother reading about that flight? Any history at all?
Eyewitnesses reported Flight 93. Can you provide valid physical evidence that these alleged passengers are real people and that they were on the alleged Flight 401? No newspaper reports, government reports, or eyewitness reports. Only valid physical evidence will suffice. Remember, this is your standard so you must stick to it.
401 actually had live passengers rescued to confirm there really was a Flight 401 and they were on it.
Then why are you using it as a source? Remember, this is your standard so you must stick to it.
But wiki does not prove alleged Flight 93 even existed much less crashed around Shanksville, PA.
What is you relevant point? You did not say.
