In truth, It isn't the case that I doubt him, per se. I just doubt the credibility of this claim, becuase...
a) he admits it didn't come from him, but from some other unnamed person, and for all we know, it really came from some third guy who in turn told that unnamed person. THAT had to have come from somewhere, too.
b) We don't even know what exactly Bellone told Ventura or whether Bellone even told that to Ventura, as Ventura is not exactly above embellishing things himself. That supposed commando raid on Hanger 17 was nothing but theatrics. You know that, right?
c) There isn't even a microbe of proof to back the claim up, nor is there any place you can even look for proof. You do know that all airplanes are in constant contact with ground controllers as they're waiting to take off, right?

Can assume the boxes were destroyed....

Not to mention the fact that I posted evidence of a "black box" that was never recovered despite crashing over land (and in very similar circumstances to the WTC crashes, only less extreme) several pages ago.
Based on this thread I can only conclude that "truthers" have little to no interest in the truth.

Please cite an historical example of a land based aircraft crash where the black boxes were NEVER FOUND.
We have continually asked that but you refuse to offer an example. I suspect there is no example of this and you misinterpreted your own source...or you were lying. I will give you the benefit of the doubt of course.

All right, I don't care if the moderators yank this post, it still needs to be said- this type of attitude is just plain horribly godawful IGNORANT.

For something that hard core serious, we need to look at BOTH sides of the issue to see which side has the better credibility. That's the whole reason why we have a trial by jury- to listen to both sides of the story,

It's always falsehoods that have to run and hide from the truth. Twist this into whatever way you want to look at it, Orion, but at the end of the day, I'm not running from the material you post. You're running from the material I post.

I am talking about the black boxes claim, I assume you are talking about the hearsay at the end? Because that was hearsay. But it still could be correct. The Flight 77 data recorder happened to also record that its cockpit door was never opened during flight.
