impressme....besides adding an animated dancing 'chicken little'....you have yet to impress US!
I am truly sorry that you, and others, can infer from flimsy evidence that four Transport Category jets are not missing....not to mention all of the
humans onboard....
Oh....I forget....it was all 'staged'.
Pieces of AAL77 at the Pentagon...oops, I mean....pieces that LOOKED as if they came from an American Airlines B757....mangled pieces, randomly
fractured from the fuselage, or other components....scattered about the scene, and no one saw this 'deception' in progress...despite dozens of
eyewitnesses to the actual fly-over, and many who saw the impact.
( I personally know someone who saw the jet fly past his apartment balcony, on Columbia Pike...)
There is the infamous photo....of the 'hole'.....it is rarely noted that the photo is taken from within one of the rings....maybe as far in as the
center Courtyard. BUT, this photo is proudly bandied as 'proof' that it could not have been an airplane!!
I drove by the Pentagon day after day, on I-395....and SAW the damage to the outside of the building. Of course, I never was allowed in to see the
infamous 'proof' photo of the small hole....I saw the collapsed outer wall, of the E-Ring. It's in many, many, many other photos....but seems
it's ignored in favor of the other one....why?
Once again, we must address the issue of the CVR and DFDR.
I still claim it to be disengenuous to cling to this 'serial number' nonsense.
Just as the claims of the bits left from the crash sites....S/Ns are NOT stamped on every freakin' piece of metal that is installed on a jet
airframe!
Wheelsets are changed frequently....the wheels aren't S/N'd....sure, the LG struts may have numbers, IF they're readable....but, really....come on,
metalurgical testing could determine what sort of conditions they'd undergone.
AND, this notion of the 'engines'.....it is a constant battle between the knowing, and the know nots...
The 'know-nots' see the nacelle, and the N1 fan, and think the engine is as big as the cowling!!!!!
The most resiliant components, the ones made of titanium and thus most heat and damage resistant, are the smallest part of the turbine section!
IF they survive these incredible forces and temperatures....they will still be fractured, and likely, to a layman, will appear to be faked.
It is truly a shame....that ignorance blossoms.....
