second, the black box of flight 77 was released by the government. Has been decoded by pilots who wants to know the real facts, and the pilots claim the flight of the airplane is impossible...but that video i don't find atm.....they had done a whole simulation.
So far, nothing the conspiracy theorists have put forward has contradicted even one microbe of the mountains of proof that it genuinely was flight 77.

As an example, does this mountain of proof include:
1) irrefutable video/photographic evidence of Flight 77 striking the Pentagon?
2) an entry hole to the Pentagon consistent with a large commercial airliner?
3) video/photographic evidence of all passenger remains, personal belongings, aircraft parts, etc.?
4) video/photographic evidence of the passengers and hijackers boarding Flight 77 at the airport?
5) a thorough and unbiased investigation by authorities?
Instead, the Government provides the malleable unwashed masses with a nice little photo of an engine part propped up neatly against some unrecognizable debris. Why is that engine part on display after such a devastating explosion?
The government would have us believe the wings cut threw the poles like a hot knife threw butter. Even my 2 year year old could comprehend that.
also, you never wondered why mister Cheney didn't want to give the command to intercept that flight, while it was reported several times?? While it was clear for others what (partly?) was going on?
The fact of the matter is, if it can be proven that it legitimately was flight 77 that hit the Pentagon, then all these side games of arguing over passenger remains, whether the cockpit door was opened or closed, the taxi cab damage, eyewitness credibility, whether novice polits can fly planes in circles, and all that, are entirely moot.
If that's true, than debunk my post and tell us all what's wrong with the evidence I put forward.

nice shiny gfx, nothing else. And much debris, isn't it? Not much shown about the hole impact either. And those amateur pilots were very lucky to fly so fast and so low, don't you think, to hit the building on the 'right' spot?
also, you never wondered why mister Cheney didn't want to give the command to intercept that flight, while it was reported several times?? While it was clear for others what (partly?) was going on?
for such an important building, isn't it weird there is only 1 camera with footage of that area?
My thoughts, OK. Well first of all, the flight path of the airplane in that fun little cartoon goes against the witness testimonies who agreed that the airplane passed overhead in a direction that's not consistent with the damage pattern of the light poles and the OS. The taxi-cab being struck was brought up in that video, and it's already been established that Lloyd was involved in 9/11 because he admits to it off camera, his wife is in the FBI, and when he got called out and shown evidence that goes against what he was saying, he couldn't even think of anything to say to defend himself.
Plus, it effectively debunks YOUR video. Your thoughts?

Try Googling 'straw through potato'. You will find several videos of paper straws being pushed completely through a potato. It's the simple physics errors that trip up many of the conspiracy believers.
In fact it was you conspiracy people who told me that back in 1993 FBI agents wanted to give the WTC bombers a fake bomb so that they could collar them in a sting, until some dingbat supervisor in the FBI decided to pull the plug because he didn't think their informant was telling the truth.
Rubbish. This whole "Cheney ordered a stand down" bit is coming entirely from those con artists running those conspiracy web sites., They're misquoting Norm Mineta who specifically said that Cheney did in fact authorize a shoot down order, and there's no way anyone can misrepresent "does the order still stand" into "stand down order" unless they're doing it deliberately.
Not really. Cameras are set up to monitor the high traffic areas like parking lots, entrances, and front gates like this footage was taken from. They don't have ten thousand cameras aimed at every garbage can and blade of grass
Not that it matters, as it's obvious from the nonstop excuses the conspiracy people are posting here that even if there was a crystal clear footage of the plane impact, they'd only be looking for reasons why they shouldn't believe it. This whole "there's no footage" is nothing but a conspiracy mongor red herring to distract everyone from all the other evidence they can't deal with

Then the poor quality security cam footage which conveniently obscures the plane with that pole thing is used to back up the theory of a Boeing 757, however there is not a frame in that video where a significant portion of the Boeing is visible for identification, so that video could be used as proof of a missile as much as a Boeing aircraft. But it's cool that the video kept rolling, I'm only used to seeing those five frames or whatever was shown on the MSM over and over again, so that was pretty interesting.
Even if the damage to those things was caused by the engines while the plane luckily passed a few inches above the wire spools, that flight path is inconsistent with the credible witness testimonies account of where the plane flew.
Next in your video the photographic evidence of debris is shown, and this is where it gets sketchy. Why is it that some of the debris has caution tape around it, while other debris is being picked up by some dudes? Why were government officials removing evidence from a terrorist attack crime scene?
I could speculate that the taped off wreckage was thrown out some distance outside from the area they cordoned off (where they didn't need to put tape around it), but frankly this is too silly for either of us to be arguing over. Accept the fact there were cases where they needed to tape off some pieces of wreckage and cases where they didn't.
There is only one way for us to be absolutely 100% sure that a Boeing 757 struck the Pentagon, and that is if the government that you are siding with quits witholding valuable evidence from the public, and shows us all of the 80 videos of the aircraft striking the Pentagon. However it's clear that after 10 years they have no intention of doing that, and the fact that they will not release video evidence that will put the conspiracy theories over the Pentagon to rest is a strong indication that there is something to hide on that video evidence. Would you agree?
As you have never shown that any additional usable video even exists, all you have shown is that you're making up accusations to justify the previous accusations you're making up, which is circular logic in that you're just repeating the original statemnt in different terms in an attempt to explain itself. As you have shown that you...
a) accused a taxi driver of being in collusion to mass murder and treason because "his wife works for the FBI"
b) made up claims that additional impact footage exists, and then make up claims why they're withholding said make believe impact footage
c) Intentionally ignored all the eyewitness accounts specifically saying they saw a passenger jet hit the Pentagon, even when they're specifically saying on camera that they saw a passenger jet hit the Pentagon.
d) dropped innuendo on how "suspicious" it is that a gov't agency would want to collect aircraft wreckage from a crash site.
...would YOU agree that even if they did release any more impact video, that you'd just grasp at any reason you could find, however absurd, to dismiss said video as being staged/faked just like you're doing everything else?

Sure, but I had more than that one reason that you chose to single out.
I'm going to have to wait until later to watch this, but claiming Lloyd England was a participant in some massive coverup entirely because "his wife works for the FBI" is absurdity in the extreme.
So I don't think he was a participant "entirely because" his wife works in the FBI, but for those three reasons that are bolded in that quote. In fact his wife being in the FBI is probably the weakest of those there pieces of evidence, however you chose to select just that one detail even though there were clearly three reasons why I concluded that Lloyd was a participant in the planning and executing of the cover-up.
The taxi-cab being struck was brought up in that video, and it's already been established that Lloyd was involved in 9/11 because he admits to it off camera, his wife is in the FBI, and when he got called out and shown evidence that goes against what he was saying, he couldn't even think of anything to say to defend himself.
Not exactly, I just want a video that actually shows a Boeing 757 to be released to the public. I'm not saying I need an HD video so clear that you can zoom in and see the Turban on the pilots head, I just want to be able to make out a Boeing 757 in the video. I wouldn't say it's part of a "disinformation stunt", but it's just a video that doesn't back up the official story since the aircraft in question cannot be made out.
Bait and switch. I'm not using this as proof that flight 77 hit the Pentagon. YOU are using this as proof there's a coverup. According to you, the Pentagon necessarily has to have crystal clear video of the impact somehow and then you use that bit of make believe to manufacture more make believe that this blurry version was released an some sort of disinformation stunt.
I don't know that at all and neither do you, we can't tap into the minds of those who would be involved in an "orchestrated disinformation stunt".
Frankly, if there was some orchestrated disinformation stunt the govt' would have manufactured crystal clear images of the impact, not this crummy image with some blurry something way off in the distance. You know that and so do I.
Really? Remember this image? [atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/1c3a02436df1.jpg[/atsimg] Slap some paint on that bad-boy to make it look like a commericial airliner, and you're set: [atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/ce9d206555a5.jpg[/atsimg] So tell me Dave, does the outline from that Pentagon footage match the appearance of a Boeing 757? [atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/2fbcf7079c6a.jpg[/atsimg]
FYI the one thing the video definitely does show is that the craft had a very large tail rudder, as shown by the "there one moment, and gone the next" sillouette as pointed out in the animation. No small craft and certainly no cruise missile would have such a large tail rudder like this.
Right but the exact description is not conclusive, one dude said he thought it looked like a private jet, and a painted tomahawk missile could easily pass as an airplane if you only have a 2 second glimpse of it.
Exsqueeze me? Every witness you're quoting specifically said that it was a plane they saw hit the Pentagon so that destroys your conspiracy claims right there,
Well if you would have actually watched the video of the witness interviews, there are clear points of refrence that a 10 year old could use to identify where the aircraft was. For example, the police officers were filling up their car with gas, and the aircraft passed overhead on the side of the gas station opposite of where it should have been to satisfy the light pole damage and the official story.
and these inconsistancies of how far they thought they were from the plane are unrealistic; noone can be expected to reliably judge the distance they were standing from a large object of unknown size with GPS accuracy in the three seconds they saw it. Even then, by your own video their testimony was consistant among each other within a dozen yards or so to the left or right of what the animation showed.
Why would I do that? At any crime scene isn't the top priority not to tamper with evidence? The FBI of all organizations should have known this best.
I could speculate that the taped off wreckage was thrown out some distance outside from the area they cordoned off (where they didn't need to put tape around it), but frankly this is too silly for either of us to be arguing over. Accept the fact there were cases where they needed to tape off some pieces of wreckage and cases where they didn't.
Sorry, I should have posted some evidence to back that up, here ya go: [atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/bad891b9ce70.jpg[/atsimg] Our FBI guy Maguire claims that there was only one out the 85 videotapes that shows an airplane, and that's the one that was released....So I guess we should just take the FBIs word that that's the only good video, because it's not the job of the public to determine that and conclude whether or not the FBI is hiding something, that's the FBIs job.
As you have never shown that any additional usable video even exists, all you have shown is that you're making up accusations to justify the previous accusations you're making up, which is circular logic in that you're just repeating the original statemnt in different terms in an attempt to explain itself.
Come on Dave, don't resort to strawmans, you're better than that, aren't you? I gave more than just that reason, but you chose to unfairly address only that piece of evidence.
As you have shown that you...
a) accused a taxi driver of being in collusion to mass murder and treason because "his wife works for the FBI"
Maguire said that 85 videos could be helpful, so I think all of those videos should be released to the public. If 83 of them show a backyard barbeque or something like that and don't even catch a glimpse of the airplane, that's fine, but just saying "Oh yeah, these are the only 2 good ones out of 85, so there would be no reason for you to confirm that for yourself. I'll just go ahead and hold on to the rest of the videos, because that will save you the trouble of watching them and determining that for yourself" is pretty sketchy IMO.
b) made up claims that additional impact footage exists, and then make up claims why they're withholding said make believe impact footage
They're not all consistent in their observations of the appearance of the aircraft, so I'm not going to call it case closed just because of that.
c) Intentionally ignored all the eyewitness accounts specifically saying they saw a passenger jet hit the Pentagon, even when they're specifically saying on camera that they saw a passenger jet hit the Pentagon.
Well when the possiblity arises that our own government could have been involved in the planning and execution of the 9/11 attacks, tampering with evidence at the very crime scene that they could be involved in is suspicious to me. The same would go for the police: Imagine a hypothetical scenario in which after a murder occurs, some evidence arises suggesting that police officers may have been involved in the murder. Now what if at the crime scene, the police officers were cleaning up the evidence and packing it away, I would find that equally as suspicious.
d) dropped innuendo on how "suspicious" it is that a gov't agency would want to collect aircraft wreckage from a crash site.
No I disagree, because if the description of what the majority of eye witnesses claim say they saw matched up with a clear video of a Boeing 757 impacting the light poles and crashing into the Pentagon, I think there wouldn't really be much to dispute there. If a video shows what they are saying, then there wouldn't be much reason to doubt them. However going off of eye-witness testimonies and a blurry video that doesn't show what the witnesses claim they saw isn't going to cut it for me.
...would YOU agree that even if they did release any more impact video, that you'd just grasp at any reason you could find, however absurd, to dismiss said video as being staged/faked just like you're doing everything else?

maybe straw can be pushed threw potato i dont know but if a wing clipped a light pole it would throw it off course with out a doubt in my mind you believe what you wish
