1) The four hijackers purchased tickets under their own names and boarded the plane. One was randomly selected for and passed additional security screening. Ziad Jarrah was a licensed pilot and had recent training on professional large jet flight simulators. United flight 93 was scheduled to depart at 8:00 am, but left 42 minutes late due to airport traffic. Aboard were 33 passengers, 7 crew members, and 4 hijackers.
2) Several passengers and crew called from the plane, spoke with loved ones, described the hijackers' attack, and related their plan to try to retake the plane so that it would not be used as a suicide weapon against a populated area. All but two of these calls were made using the planes' Airfones.
3) The cockpit voice recorder recorded the hijackers' attack and apparent murder of the pilots and a flight attendant. Air traffic controllers heard a radio transmission by a man with an Arabic accent, warning of a bomb on board. Passengers reported that one of the hijackers had what appeared to be a bomb strapped to him.
4) After learning about the other attacks, passengers and cabin crew attempted to retake the cockpit but were apparently unable to gain entry. The sound of their attempts was recorded on the CVR. The CVR also recorded the hijackers' decision to end the flight, followed by repeated shouts of "Allahu Akbar!" ("God is greatest.") until the plane crashed. Families of victims heard the CVR recording.
5) Flight 93 was tracked by radar until it went down.
6) Many people in Pennsylvania saw the Boeing 757, traveling at low altitude and high speed, roll to the right and plummet upside-down, nose first, towards the ground. Many people witnessed the subsequent enormous explosion and fireball. Val McClatchey photographed the mushroom cloud.
7) Hundreds of first responders (mostly volunteer firefighters) and crime scene investigators were quickly on the scene. They saw human remains, aircraft wreckage, personal effects, jet fuel, etc.
The cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder were recovered and had usable data, all of which is consistent with the other evidence.
8) The remains of every victim was positively identified. Somerset County Coroner Wallace Miller personally collected many remains and made 12 identifications through fingerprints and dental records. Personal effects of most passengers and crew were recovered and returned to their families.
9) Hijacker identification documents and personal effects were recovered, along with the remains of four people identified as the hijackers through the process of elimination.
10) Nearly all of the aircraft was recovered by professional investigators and by civilians. The debris was returned to United Airlines after being examined for evidence of explosives use.

Research is required, but most of the hijackers (13?) have been found alive and well. There is a BBC News article on their website about it in 2005 (?) I think. That puts the existence of the hijackers into doubt (especially when CCTV footage is shown of them alleding passing through airport security to board the hijacked flights, and the FBI even claimed to have ID them through the use of DNA afterwards). I'll need a link for that.
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.
These calls are currently in question and can't be cited as "evidence".
See a recent, previous discussion on the use of aircraft radios and the frequencies in use/recorded that day. These transmissions are likely bogus (please refer to the other thread for more information) and are insubmissable as evidence based on the findings.
This is the first time in history that the crew and passengers have attempted an aircraft take-back.
Maybe, but we know this can be tampered with/fabricated (see the supporting points above for why this is likely).
The mushroom cloud is a hoax. It has been debunked here at ATS, using basic high-school trigonometry. The fact the FBI support the photo means they're in on it. The math doesn't lie (but photos and people do).
The coroner wasn't a coroner long - he admitted as much himself. Let's remind ourselves what a coroner deals in: dead bodies. Hmm...
Proof?
So the hijackers weren't absolutely identified. They were identified by tertiary means, and were not *positively* identified. Curious, when they used the teeth etc.. of the passengers. No-one is untraceable, unless they don't exist.
No it wasn't. One documentary I saw very recently said the aircraft was stored in Iron Mountain. FYI that is a secure facility under a mountain somewhere in the USA. It is used to store everything of value, including government documents as it is considered safe from even nuclear attack.

Evidence-gathering was halted Saturday afternoon and the pieces of United Airlines Flight 93 that had been recovered were turned over Sunday to the airline, with the exception of the flight data recorder and the voice recorder, which are being held and analyzed by the FBI, according to FBI agent Bill Crowley.

Your article was very old and somewhat retracted by the BBC. It has been posted here several times here.

QUESTIONED?? by WHO? Any evidence as to them being fake? Why do you think they are being questioned? Because they don't fit your theory?
See a recent, previous discussion on the use of aircraft radios and the frequencies in use/recorded that day. These transmissions are likely bogus (please refer to the other thread for more information) and are insubmissable as evidence based on the findings.
"likely bogus" ...yeah that term will fit right in with your new investigation.
This is the first time in history that the crew and passengers have attempted an aircraft take-back.
So that means it didn't happen? The victims families and the 911 operator all spoke of this.
Maybe, but we know this can be tampered with/fabricated (see the supporting points above for why this is likely).
The family members heard the recordings. YOU need to provide evidence that they have been tampered with. Saying "can be" is not evidence.

No it hasn't. The FBI is in on it too? ok

Um what? Do you think he worked all alone?

If you have nothing to match them with... then yes they are untraceable.

Saudi Arabia acknowledged for the first time that 15 of the Sept. 11 suicide hijackers were Saudi citizens...
Previously, Saudi Arabia had said the citizenship of 15 of the 19 hijackers was in doubt despite U.S. insistence they were Saudis. But Interior Minister Prince Nayef told The Associated Press that Saudi leaders were shocked to learn 15 of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.
"The names that we got confirmed that," Nayef said in an interview. "Their families have been notified."
Yes they're in question because the flight itself is in doubt. The technology exists to do this, and was demonstrated at Fort Meade I think.
Please look for the other thread - it should only be within the first couple of pages here at ATS. If you have any questions, ask in that thread.
It's unlikely. I won't comment further (CT site or not, it's still a public forum).
Well, let's haer the CVR then. Any crash is a disaster, but the tapes are available. In the case of 9/11, they're not. Curious again.
No it hasn't. The FBI is in on it too? ok
On site he did, yes. He was the first on the scene. Thanks for the link. I'll read it later.
The Pennsylvania Team
The response was augmented by personnel from several other DMORT regions, in addition to two new DMORT specialty teams. Local responders and members of the state funeral director association also provided assistance. The team arrived on September 13 at the Somerset County National Guard armory, where the morgue had been organized. After meeting with the local and federal authorities, the team went to work on setting up the morgue operation. The local jurisdiction did a superb job of providing basic equipment for the facility.
This response marked several firsts, all of note because of their importance for future responses. These included the deployment of the DNA team, the establishment of protocols documenting the operation of each morgue section, responding under a memorandum of understanding with the FBI, the response of the FAC team and the collection of family blood reference samples, the inclusion of a formal triage station as the first morgue station, and the first use of the Kenyon International Services mobile morgue.
...so DNA wasn't collected then?

They are not looking for any of the 19 hijackers. They are all dead.
The flight is only in question by a few hard core conspiracy theorists. You have to explain to me how even IF this technology exists, how these voice morphing machines carried on conversations with the family members. Really, just try to think about it.
Not sure where you are going with this. Show any sort of proof that this didn't happen. (the attempted storming of the cockpit)
No it really isn't curious. Only to a few CT'ers. Again I am not interested in hearing the screams of people during the last moments of their lives. I respect the memory of them and respect the families that every day have to live with the tragedy.
Actually ...if you can point me to your work, I would love to see it.
then why haven't you taken your evidence to the authoritites? The Media? Why post it here?
I don't believe there were any DNA samples available for the 4 hijackers for flight 93. Some was found for other hijackers.
From what I am reading, the airline has possession of the aircraft. I did hear something about the parts being stored in a mountain.... I would like the info on that if you got it. Again, how does this implicate the government?
Originally posted by mirageofdeceit
Aren't they looking for who they were? I didn't think their IDs were known in all cases (refer to the poor ID checks the first time). I thought the hijackers also appeared on the FBI website as wanted?
T
Uhhh.... you talk, it converts your voice, you have an imposter as the result.
Produce the CVR and prove it did. Remember what I said about the Pentagon and the 80-odd videos? Well....
I do too, but an inescapable fact is we went to WAR over this. Has a crime been perpetrated by our own governments? (Ironic statement: Maybe that's how you get on watch lists I guess). Did I mention the Patriot Act applies to this post? I'm outside the US, and this classes as international communications.
I can't get the search function to work properly here for some reason, but search on my screen name, vals name, smoke plume etc.. - you should find it.
Yah... go to the people who back the story you're claiming to be false. That's a fast way to be labeled a nut or worse.
I'm interested to know why not. There were bodies, right?
Well at least that's something you've verified separately. It was in a documentary on the mountain itself I think, but I'm not sure.
No, they are not looking. They are all considered dead. They are not on the FBI's website.
My question is... how does an impostor carry on a conversation with a family member that he does not know?
Are you going to next tell me the government got the backgrounds of all the passengers and learned about them to make these calls?
I don't think you get it. The government does not have to release the voices of people dying.
First of all we did not go to war over this. Bush DID use 911 as a catapult. The main reason was WMD's which was a lie. Bush used fear tactics on the public and most of us bought it.
None of my rights have been taken away.
You said it not me!!
There were body fragments. Teeth, bones, tissue. But you need to match them to something.
The families of the victims released different items that contained their loved ones DNA. (hair brushes, toothbrush, etc.)
if and when I find information on this, I will post it. Either way, it does not implicate the government .

No, actually. If the calls are fabricated, as is the crash, then the people will be fabrications. No research necessary.
According to the official report, they never made it to the flight deck, so it wouldn't.
You missed a war-zone - Afghanistan. "The Forgotten War" seems a suitable title for that one.
You know that isn't what I meant.
Fair comment.
Now we've run through all that - where is Flight 93?
Just an observation: you basically suggest that some of the things I say are in "bad taste", yet they've so far released 3 films about 9/11. Isn't that in bad taste?
This is the "pissing" on the families. You are stating the the passengers families are in on it too? Paid off? Sick.

Since he cannot post evidence to support his claims he has to resort to other tatics and try to change the subject.

I have already proven through several good sites that the F-4 with engines is mostly made of steel.
WHY MUST YOU BE SO IMMATURE AND LIE?
