2) a light pole then hits his car
3) as he stops and gets out to pull the light pole out from his car, he heard a loud boom from the pentagon.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out what happened, and where that explosion came from

On your first day back, your credibility appears to also be in tatters, RipCurl.
your first day back has been terrible, striking out on two counts.
On your first day back
Why did you bother to return to ATS and post so many false statements and make so many errors on your first day back?

Which boom and explosion did Lloyde hear? State it.
You specifically stated that I twisted Lagasse's words, RipCurl. If you can't manage to keep up, then here's your quote:

I understand that it has been a very bad first day back for you on ATS. That's why it's important that you understand how you made your false claim about me.
On your first fay back, your credibility appears to also be in tatters, RipCurl.
Members in this thread have claimed that a light pole hit the taxi and they have failed to prove it. If you wish to join that list, then go right ahead.

As per usual, your failure to do so will be your admission that your first day back has been terrible, striking out on two counts.
It's kind of like educating a child, in many ways. If you believe that the light pole hit the taxi, then the burden of proof is upon you to support that claim.
On your first day back, I don't expect you to know much about logic and the nature of proof. It might take you a little longer to learn that you have to support your claims.

Very typical attempt to denigrate other members by the ones with serious self-image issues
We are supposed to discuss the information and arguments
Someone with half a brain would figure out
1) a member has been reading and chose to contribute seeing the level of bilge rising to dangerous levels
2) a member have more than one account

Im going by his statements and his description of what happened. However, I also take into account the NUMEROUS other witnesses accounts and able to deduce that it was the plane he saw (and others saw) that cuased the explosion he heard.

Originally posted by RipCurl
sorry, but its your claim that no light pole hit the taxi despite testimony from the taxi owner and SEVERAL news reports from that day, that stated a light pole hit a taxi cab.
Originally posted by RipCurl
Care to back up your claims, since YOU claim the pole didn't hit the cab;
Originally posted by RipCurl
Its your job now to Prove what did and also make sure its corroborated. Since lloyd and news reports stated a light pole hit lloyds' cab, I have to go with that evidence (NBC4 From WDC did a report on it)
Originally posted by RipCurl
You made the extraordinary claim that no light pole hit the cab. Its therefore your job to provide proof.
Originally posted by tezzajw
Right, I got it now. The plane impacting the Pentagon caused the explosion. Ok, cool.
So, on your first day back to ATS, let's step you through some logic, shall we?
Lloyde has a light pole hit his taxi. He skids the car to a stop from 40mph. He gets out the car, greets a total stranger who stopped to help. Then, while they were removing the light pole from the taxi, they turned to see the explosion of the plane hitting the Pentagon, which knocked Lloyde over.
Question: Travelling at nearly 800 feet per second, how long does it take to hit the Pentagon from the first light pole strike? Around 2 seconds?
Question: Can Lloyde do all of the above within 2 seconds? Give it a serious think, RipCurl. Gather your credibility and logic together, then let me know what your answer is.
Casual readers, note the desperate back-pedalling attempts that RipCurl is trying to use to retract his false claim about me!!!
Hilarious!
You should be very sorry, RipCurl. You've butchered Logic 101. You don't even know why you're wrong. You can't see that the burden of proof is upon you to support your claim.
Obviously you have failed to read the past 50 pages of this thread before returning on your first day back. I don't know what happened at the Pentagon. I've stated to some members that I would dearly love to believe them that a light pole hit the taxi... however, they can't convince me when they can't prove it.
Casual readers should note that RipCurl, on his first day back to ATS, is relying on the unreliable, discredited witness, Lloyde and media reports, to try and prove that the light pole hit the taxi.
RipCurl. Save yourself further embarrassment and read the past 50 pages to see what you're doing wrong now.
I understand that it's been a terrible first day for you to return to ATS. You've been so unsure about the false claims you have made against some mebers. You've destroyed logic with your misunderstandings. Maybe you will learn from today's mistakes so you don't repeat them tomorrow and every other day after that.

Not much after the plane hit there was an explosion greater than the initial impact.

Guessing the silent stranger spoke no English (common in Washington) or maybe even had legal or immigration issues. Ergo minimal communication.

I twice asked RipCurl to clarify which explosion made Lloyde look and he stated that it was the plane Lloyde saw that caused the explosion.
Originally posted by RipCurl
As if that has anything to do with the lies you have been stating in all that time.
Originally posted by RipCurl
NO. they heard the explosion then turned to see the aftermath.
I dont take Everything he says as what really happened (time and perception gets severely distorted in a chaotic situation
Originally posted by RipCurl
Now, its on your part to prove that a pole didn't hit the taxi cab and to provide proof of what did.
Originally posted by RipCurl
Yes, you think lloyd englund is discredited. However, he is on record from 9/11/2001 when his memory WAS the most freshest on the events, of what happened.

This is from someone who has about as much credibility as Citizen Investment Trauma has with the already marginal world on Truth Serum drinkers.
Anyone with full awareness realizes Lloyde England, well into his 70s, is going to be confused and uncertain of details of a two minute event recounting it half a decade later. And Lloyde is not exactly 100% runningg on all cylinders any more. CIT Board Members even concede that.
attributed to misremembering.
But Truther fundamentalism which demands dismissal of 99% of the solid evidence - hunts madly for anything you can cling to. A reporting error, inconsistent testimony, lack of a photo, a typo.
So Lloyde is now an unreliable witness, not to mention disinformation agent, co-conspirator, accessory to murder, and who knows what else.

I rarely need help from anyone, when asking people to prove that a light pole hit the taxi.
Originally posted by RipCurl
proven already. not our fault that you hand wave away evidence and statement that WERE Taken by LLOYD on the day it happened.
Originally posted by RipCurl
why is so hard for you to provide proof that the pole didn't hit the cab and offer up what did.
You're new to this game, that much is clear.

I had not previously considered posting this as I never thought it was worthy of a thread of its' own. I also don't have hard evidence only hearsay from a friend. A well connected and trusted friend but just that.
A number of the posts in this thread as well as other related threads question why and how career military personnel could be convinced to carry out various scenarios. Also how can credible civilian witnesses be silenced? I believe it's simply the weight of opinion against such scenarios an example of either mass brainwashing or mass wishful thinking. Whatever you call it, the majority of people don't want to believe their government and military carry out acts against the people and the country. Those that are wrapped up in such acts are likely convinced it's for the greater good of the people and the country. A "Borne" type of attitude if you will. Even if these people have second thoughts they are in too deep by that time. Yes, I can imagine hundreds and thousands involved. We hear of those spilling the beans later right here on ATS. Spilling the beans and either being made to look nuts, disgruntled or simply taken out.
The story I want to relate is this. My friend, a now former NYC policeman. He was often assigned to protect visiting dignitaries including presidents. After the 911 disaster he was assigned to guard the site. The information he became privy to while working that detail forced him later to leave the force. To cut to the chase, he found out that there were security tapes stored off site of the towers. Cameras and tapes were functioning during the rescue attempts as responders flowed into the buildings and the various offices and floors. What a number of these tapes revealed was that some of the responders were looting evacuated offices and stores in the towers prior to them collapsing. As you can imagine some of these responders also survived. Some were decorated and celebrated for their "valor". Some posthumously.
This story, if true, is rather insignificant in the big scheme of that day. The point was that if this information were released to the public, all trust in the police, firemen and EMS personnel for the entire city would be lost. And so those who had learned of or saw the taped evidence were and are hesitant to divulge what they know. They fear the panic of a public that does not trust those assigned to protect them and they fear personal reprisals from the PTB.
My friend resigned from the force as he could not sleep or function normally dealing with this knowledge. Those in the know were convinced, brow-beaten, threatened if you will, to never divulge this little secret. Families, careers and reputations were on the line. Not quite a military secret but I think a good parallel. If true, I think this is a small example of how such a controversial scenario could be hushed up.
I for one could imagine people (responders) tempted by what they thought were easy pickings. No, they were not carrying computers out of offices. We're talking grabbing a purse left behind in the rush to evacuate, things of that nature. They never suspected the buildings would collapse on them, they never suspected they were being taped. Seemingly small crimes in themselves but the loss of confidence in those in uniform was deemed catastrophic for a city in turmoil as NYC was at the time by the PTB.
