The basic fallacy in what you are trying to argue is to compare regular air crashes with 9/11.
There were no plane crashes on 9-11.
None of the pilots on 9/11 was trying to avoid a crash, quite the opposite.
There was no plane crash hence, there were no hijackers.
Even UA 93 was deliberately flown into the ground because the passengers were about to overwhelm the hi-jackers.
Scrubbed what from their memories? there isn't even fake footage of a crash for flight 93.
This is a high speed crash; you must have seen it. Every truther in the western hemisphere must have seen it and then scrubbed it from their memory. :-
not comparable to the pentagon at all. Something that disintegrates into fine dust cannot penetrate multiple walls like the bombs did at the pentagon.

This is very comparable to the Pentagon; high speed into solid object. But you expect to see wings ?!

Not really.
Many movies of the disaster type, have aircraft crashing into buildings and pretty much anywhere and everywhere.
Plenty of CGI to compare against.

...so WHY is it then, that when the pentagon aircraft took out half a dozen STEEL street light poles bending some of them 90 degrees, with it's very soft, very light and fragile ALUMINIUM wings and fuselage, why didn't the wings or whatever came into contact with these poles, get immediately ripped off at the point of contact, or in this case don't high school physics apply?

And the fact that the hole in the pentagon was a perfect fit for a cruise missile (as evidenced by images of confirmed C. Missile hits), and rather small for a commercial jetliner, with huge wings and tail section!
I'd accept the OS regarding the Pentagon, if all commercial jets didn't have wings or tails, but just a missile shaped fuselage!
The façade of the impact point was later PULLED down as it was obviously dangerous to responders and so on, but prior to the wall being brought down, only a very small hole of approx 16 foot diameter was apparent. NO horizontal damage where the wings and engines would have hit, NO damage where the vertical and horizontal tail section would have hit, only a small round hole..
The OS maintains that the wings were coming in at an angle oblique to the ground, and that they were ripped off when ground contact occurred..perfectly reasonable, until you look at picures of the ground and see there are no gouges or groves from the contact, and no wings or tail section come to that matter.
Whenever anyone who asks where are the aircraft, we get treated to a high school physics lesson. We are told, unequivocally, that an aircraft, made of light materials, mainly Aluminium smashing into solid steel at hundreds of MPH, will pretty much disintegrate the main parts of an aircraft...OK...i accept that...so WHY is it then, that when the pentagon aircraft took out half a dozen STEEL street light poles bending some of them 90 degrees, with it's very soft, very light and fragile ALUMINIUM wings and fuselage, why didn't the wings or whatever came into contact with these poles, get immediately ripped off at the point of contact, or in this case don't high school physics apply?
I don't think there should be 'truthers', i think there should be 'bloody common sense-er's'!

perhaps it would be a fallacy if he WERE saying what happened on 9-11 WERE plane crashes. There WERE no plane crashes on 9-11.
Time for you to clear the cobwebs out of your fuzzy little head like more than 95% of the people on this forum have.
only 5 % of the people on this forum agree with you.

Get a clue.
I'm not going to argue facts with a delusional person on a forum without moderators on constant standby to point out how wrong you are.
So if you would like to challenge these facts, accept my challenge to a member debate.
If not, stay delusional.
bye bye.

Yes it does. And at 500 + mph whose gonna get a really good look.

Ok, Well, unfortunately nobody has managed to meet my original request, I still don't see any other 'vanishing plane' air disasters.
I decided to do a little research myself, just to see what does happen when a major crash occurs.
I chose two examples, both high profile, both 747's ( a little larger than the planes in question).
The first was the El Al flight 1862 which lost control due to engine failure after takeoff. The crew circled round to try and regain the airport, but the loss of two engines made the plane uncontrollable in the prevailing conditions. The plane impacted a residential high rise at a near vertical angle.
The impact was enveloped in a giant fireball (the plane was carrying flammable and toxic cargo, as well as depleted uranium)
And the crash destroyed a major chunk of building
Somehow it didn't manage to push the nosecone out the rear of the building, at least I can't find anything to suggest it did.
It seems like it was broken up within the body of the crash.
Perhaps this High rise full of 'unregistered and unemployed' was tougher than the Pentagon?
Despite this there was still a lot of wreckage recovered, including some quite sizable pieces
as well as the FDA and the CVR
Details of the flight can be found here
flightsafety.org...
Similar to the Pentagon attack? kinda, but certainly a lot more damage, widerspread, and more wreckage to show. In fact, with full tanks, and reportedly carrying propanol, is amazing that anything was left of her at all.
But it was.
Lockerbie
Another 747, Pan Am flight 103. Blown to pieces at 31000 feet, and spread over a wide area, but leaving substantial chunks of aircraft.
And yet despite this it still managed to leave a noticable hole in the ground.
and there was plenty of debris - this is just one of the collection sites
so there you go, the plane came down IN PIECES and still made a crater that size.
I appreciate these are not exactly the same as the incidents in question, but at present they are the best examples I can find, and they don't convince me.
So once again, please, show me some other disappearing planes!
