Sworn evidence entered into the legal record. Supporting evidence given, under oath, in a legal hearing. To the extent that such evidence is public record, the details can be published. I do not believe this photo should have been published.
The plane wasn't turned to dust. It was ripped to shred's, the burnable part was burned, and the building collapsed onto the top of it. What makes you think it was turned to dust.
Newton's physics mostly. You have to define "pulverized". Do you mean that everything was reduced to a fine powder (because it wasn't). Or was it just torn to shreds, then the burnable bits burned, then the building collapsed on top of what was left?
You also might want to recheck derek's actual claim. He said they are picture of passenger bodies AS WELL AS PICTURES OF SEATS.
The published photo, linked in an earlier post, the one that I am complaining about being disrespectful to both the victim and his family, looks to for all the world like he is sitting in the burned out frame of a business class seat. I can't prove it, but that is what it looks like. Can you prove it isn't?
There are newspaper reports (USA Today) of passengers still strapped in their seats. They reported that:
“When [Army Sergeant Mark] Williams discovered the scorched bodies of several airline passengers, they were still strapped in their seats.”
Look, I wasn't there. I didn't see it. I don't have photo's of it. Did Williams or anyone else take photos of that specific find? Maybe not, or maybe the photos haven't been published for some straightforward reason. Never the less, there is no reason to expect the destruction was absolute.
What would 'still strapped into their seats look like anyway? Wouldn't the straps have perished in the fire along with the fabric from the seats? So we would be talking about a metal frame with a body in it with a buckle on its lap. Of course the building collapse would disturb that 'perfect' scenario a bit as would the fire fighting efforts.
Some of the photo's of the bodies are pretty damn horrific. Does it really matter if they are in their seats? 64 of 65 passengers were positively identified from DNA results. The passengers died there.
There don't seem to be conclusive photos of seats available on the web using a google search. The linked photo is inconclusive. To me it looks like a possible Business Class seat, but I could be wrong. That certainly does not equate to non-existent, and that means is not a lie, it is just an unsubstantiated claim.
If part A was about the plane turning to dust, it didn't so part 'A' is not a lie.
If part B was about photos of seats, then that is unsubstantiated by the evidence in front of us.
So the chances of (A + B = TRUE) is at minimum 50%.

This, as you know because I have posted it before, is a picture of a part body, terribly burnt, recovered from the Pentagon. :-
www.vaed.uscourts.gov...
Please tell me how you know it is not a picture of a passenger from AA 77.
If you say it is because you don't believe AA 77 crashed at the Pentagon then you are simply taking a position without properly considering all the evidence. Not a way to the truth of anything.

but based on the evidence at hand, we do not know with 100% certainty that an aircraft hit the Pentagon,
The real question is, where are the SEATS.
So the presence of seats would be the definitive proof that an airliner hit the Pentagon... in my estimation.
An equaling convincing find would be major engine parts from a Rolls Royce 757 engine... not just a single part that is clearly not from an RB211 (see my detailed analysis above).

This is about honesty and the TRUTH of the situation.
If claims are made that there are pictures of bodies strapped into seats..
No, there are not photos of seats. There are none. The claim was that there are.
I absolutely resent being called a liar! I said that the engines weighed between 46,000 pounds and 50,100 pounds. This is mostly accurate as follows:
1) 747-400 using the Rolls Royce RB211 @ 9874 x 4 = 39,496 lbs.
2) 747-8 using the Rolls Royce Trent 1000 @ 12709 x 4 = 50,836 lbs.
I was not talking about the weight of a single engine, I was talking about the combined weight! So, Dereks, DO NOT call me a liar again!
I don't generally label myself into a group, but, because my purpose here is to analyze pictures and show that it is IMPOSSIBLE for such a large plane to fit into a tiny hole
Actually not it is not circular at all. You do not understand.
1. There was no passenger jet.
2. A picture of a body is claimed to be from a jet that was completely destroyed in a collision - this is hard to believe especially since there was no proof of thejet.
3. The picture does not claim to be of a passenger body.
4. There is no reason to believe it is the body of a passenger.
5. Why do I need to explain this to you?
Sworn testimony, in court, is evidence however. And that evidence asserts (as I understand) that they identified all but one of the bodies from the plane and all but 4 of the bodies from the Pentagon staff.
They claimed to do that through the DNA collected, not bodies found. Do you honestly think they had family members come down and identify bodies from that incident?
Talk about missing logic.
Whether the OS is true or not, there is NO REASON to assume any of those photos of complete human bodies are from the airplane.

so you can discredit the Truthers,
Help us out here a little
I have, but you refuse to look at them as you know it destroys your silly conspiracy.
A link to a possible passenger body has been given, as to the rest we have eyewitness accounts from a first responder etc, and according to you that is all that is needed, no physical evidence is actually needed.

We have eyewitness accounts from a first responder etc, which says the opposite to your OS fairytale.
No plane hit the pentagon and you have not shown any proof yet.
As other witnesses related, debris lying outside the C-ring punchout hole in A-E Drive included a chunk of nose fuselage or nose cone, a landing gear, and an aircraft tire tread.The following photo (by Fort Belvoir photographers) shows two pieces of fuselage debris (note the green primer) lying in front of the hole. Note a ring of 8 small holes on the larger piece. A similar ring of 8 holes may be found on a 757 nose (with an attaching piece), just below the cockpit windows -- but it is far from clear whether the configuration is a match. This larger piece of debris may be the fragment of "nose cone" referred to by Lt. Kevin Shaeffer and Victor Correa.
