How many people have actually been interviewed on camera as saying they knew the guy directly? You will find it is a very small number (if any?) outside of his immediate family. Anyone can set up a charity - that doesn't prove a thing.
Lots of people turn up for funerals of other people. Not everyone is going to know who a particular person was - it happens.
He is also only one person out of all those on the flight. Set up one big personality and the others disappear into the background. It's rather convenient when you think about it.
One thing all this is failing to do is prove the existence of Flight 93.
We have:
* an FDR that could be made up (see Pentagon FDR for details). See also the FDR relating to the Paris crash of the Airbus A320 in the late 80s IIRC (the Paris Airshow) - the FDR disappeared for 10 days, and when it finally got into the correct hands, it had already been opened and the last 8 seconds of the tape were missing (they were tapes back then, not SSMDs). FDR tampering happens.
* Phone calls that haven't been substantiated
* Possibly fabricated personas to make Flight 93 seem real
* Next to no physical evidence (where is the pile of 120,000 lbs of metal)?
* A very dodgy looking hole in the ground that looks very similiar to a scar near by
* A fake photo of the smoke plume allegedly emanating from the Flight 93 crash site immediately afterwards (proven a hoax)
* Vals own witness testimony is contradicting and full of holes
* Reports of bits of Flight 93 having been found over a mile away, when the aircraft allegedly buried itself completely under ground
* A strange fire in the woods (?!?!) when the aircraft and all its fuel went under ground complete with both engines and the APU (allegedly )
Need I go on?
THIS MAKES NO SENSE.
Where is the APU, BTW (in both the case of Flight 93 and the Pentagon)? The APU FYI is a small gas turbine, that provides back-up electrical and pneumatic generation (hydraulics are fed from electrically driven pumps when on APU power, and pneumatics are for engine starts and supplying cabin air-conditioning/pressurization).
A lot is made of at least one engine from Flight 93, but nothing of the APU, itself quite a large, solid device.
Here's an APU from a 757:
The Paris crash is irrelevant to the discussion.
Key words:
"Could be "
Yes they have. If you think the families are lying. YOU back it up with proof.
No it isn't possible. In ten minutes I showed you just how real Mark Bingham was.
Thousands of pounds of scraps were found including seat cushions AND personal belongings of those on board. Seat belts from the plane. And the FDR and CVR that you say were possibly tampered with. I would say thats quite a bit of physical evidence.
I tell you what, I will ask you what I asked Ivan. Show me ONE professional that has been involved in airplane crashes that states the impact crater is inappropriate for the type of crash that happened. (Ivan has failed so far)
Can you show me a professional analysis of the photograph? Sorry if I can't go on the words of someone posting on a CT website.
If you would like, start another thread with her holes listed. I would like to read them.
The aircraft did not bury itself "completely" underground.
Strange fire? The plane exploded.
Several witnesses stated a fire balls. Fire balls can cause combustibles to catch on fire.
All you have is opinion with nothing to back it up. You are speculating on pretty much each of your points.
Only to a few that are confused.
Maybe it's in that mountain? I have not heard anything about it actually.
There is no evidence to back it up.
you ignore the fact that the phone calls were real.
you ignore the fact that the people were real.
you state there is a possibility that the FDR was tampered with, yet there would be no way to back this up.
you ignore the witnesses that saw a plane going down
you ignore the witnesses that saw a fire ball.
you ignore the CVR as evidence
you also ignore the DNA evidence that was recovered at the scene that places all the passengers and crew in the area around the impact zone.
This is called HARD evidence. You chose to ignore it. I also chose not to go post to post if you are to ignore such crucial evidence.
However, we positively identified seismic signals associated with United
Airlines Flight 93 that crashed near Shanksville, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. The time of the plane crash was 10:06:05+/-5 (EDT).
Analysis of Seismic Records for United Airlines Flight 93 Crash near Shanksville, Pa.
Figure 5 shows seismic record section of vertical-component records from four stations around the United Airlines Flight 93 crash site near Shanksville, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. The location of the site is taken from the web site for the Flight 93 Memorial, URL:
www.shanksvillememorial.com...
The four closest stations range in distance from 92 to 218 km (Table 1).
Two minutes of vertical-component seismic records starting from estimated origin time of 14:06:05 (10:06:05 EDT) are plotted.
The seismic signals are relatively weak compared with the background noise level. For instance, at stations MCWV and SDMD, the signal (portion of signals just after Sg) to noise (portion of records just before Pg arrivals) ratios are about 1:1, whereas, at station SSPA the ratio is about 2.5:1 and at MVL it is about 2:1 (Figure 5).
Although, seismic signals across the network are not as strong and clear as the WTC case (see Kim et al., 2001), three component records at station SSPA (delta=107.6 km) shown in Figure 6 are quite clear.
The three-component records at SSPA are dominated by strong Lg arrivals, whereas the Pg waves are difficult to discern and have amplitudes comparable to the noise level. This is typical for seismic waves generated by airplane impacts and crashes. The seismic signals marked as Sg in Figure 5 propagated from the Shanksville crash site to the stations with approximately
3.5 km/s.
Hence, we infer that the Flight 93 crashed around 14:06:05+/-5 UTC) (10:06:05 EDT).
The uncertainty is only due to seismic velocity at the uppermost crust near the surface in which the Lg waves propagated.
These waveform data indicate that we could not identify seismic signals associated with the plane impact into the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.
I would like to see some American individual or organization, file a FOIA request for the seismic records of the not publicized 10 minutes before and after the Flight 93 seismograms, from all relevant seismic stations.
The location of the site is taken from the web site for the Flight 93 Memorial
We analyzed seismic records from five stations in the northeastern United States, ranging from 63 to 350 km from the Pentagon. Despite detailed analysis of the data, we could not find a clear seismic signal.
In case of the WTC attack, the impacts of the two planes could be determined with an accuracy of about +/-2 seconds. Although the impact times are inferred from oscillatory surface wave arrivals, the nearest station, PAL (Palisades, NY), was only about 34 km away from the WTC.
The towers collapsed but the Pentagon was a ground level attack with minor collapsing compaired to the towers. Being not too far from the airport the equipment may be tuned different. Lots of ground beating at the airport.

you also ignore the DNA evidence that was recovered at the scene that places all the passengers and crew in the area around the impact zone.

Then the Shanksville crash should not have registered either, afterall, you guys claim the plane burried deep in the ground leaving little evidence of a plane because the ground was so soft...
So how could the soft ground at shanksville be soft enough to completely burry a plane while at the same time hard enough to transfer the impact energy to the seismic equipment. But...The Pentagon ground is hard enough to hold up an entire building but not hard enough to transfer seismic energy?

Good question.
I would guess that since the plane crashed into the ground, that 100% of the crash energy was transferred into the ground. Which is why we see the crater. Agree?
No. Thats really silly. The official story claims the plane was at a 45-60 degree angle. At that trajectory and speed, anyone who has played billiards(pool) knows this logic of angle, speed and deflection.
Flight 93 should of ploughed its way for atleast one hundred meters displacing atleast 2 times as much dirt as the volume of the plane , deflecting debris, fire, gas, etc hundreds of meters in the direction of the plane. Grass would of been burnt etc and none of this was present on September 11th, 2001 in Shanksville, Penn.
The crater is similar to a bomb or missile.
