Why was this testimony left out of the 9/11 report?
Questioning the Mineta timeline
Mineta provides a considerable amount of information in his accounts, and this, along with other recollections of the day, gives us several reasons to believe his timeline is inaccurate.
Packed timetable
One immediate issue with Mineta's story is the implausible number of activities he squeezes in to a very short time. The second impact at the WTC occurred at around 9:02:59, for instance, and Mineta told the 9/11 Commission that he reached the White House at 9:20: around 17 minutes later.

You are not interested in the truth. Your post here proves that you have made up your mind. Putting your fingers in your ears do not make facts disappear. The best way to learn is to enter without bias. You have started research and think this? Sad, really.

I just can't wrap my mind around the whole flight 93 thing at all. It just has never added up for me.
Simple Math:
Here are 10 Facts regarding flight 93:
1) The four hijackers purchased tickets under their own names and boarded the plane. One was randomly selected for and passed additional security screening. Ziad Jarrah was a licensed pilot and had recent training on professional large jet flight simulators. United flight 93 was scheduled to depart at 8:00 am, but left 42 minutes late due to airport traffic. Aboard were 33 passengers, 7 crew members, and 4 hijackers.
2) Several passengers and crew called from the plane, spoke with loved ones, described the hijackers' attack, and related their plan to try to retake the plane so that it would not be used as a suicide weapon against a populated area. All but two of these calls were made using the plane's seatback Airfones.
3) The cockpit voice recorder recorded the hijackers' attack and apparent murder of the pilots and a flight attendant. Air traffic controllers heard a radio transmission by a man with an Arabic accent, warning of a bomb on board. Passengers reported that one of the hijackers had what appeared to be a bomb strapped to him.
4) After learning about the other attacks, passengers and cabin crew attempted to retake the cockpit but were apparently unable to gain entry. The sound of their attempts was recorded on the CVR. The CVR also recorded the hijackers' decision to end the flight, followed by repeated shouts of "Allahu Akbar!" ("God is greatest.") until the plane crashed. Families of victims heard the CVR recording.
5) Flight 93 was tracked by radar until it went down.
6) Many people in Pennsylvania saw the Boeing 757, traveling at low altitude and high speed, roll to the right and plummet upside-down, nose first, towards the ground. Many people witnessed the subsequent enormous explosion and fireball. Val McClatchey photographed the mushroom cloud.
7) Hundreds of first responders (mostly volunteer firefighters) and crime scene investigators were quickly on the scene. They saw human remains, aircraft wreckage, personal effects, jet fuel, etc.
The cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder were recovered and had usable data, all of which is consistent with the other evidence.
8) The remains of every victim was positively identified. Somerset County Coroner Wallace Miller personally collected many remains and made 12 identifications through fingerprints and dental records. Personal effects of most passengers and crew were recovered and returned to their families.
9) Hijacker identification documents and personal effects were recovered, along with the remains of four people identified as the hijackers through the process of elimination.
10) Aircraft remains were recovered by professional investigators and by civilians. The debris was returned to United Airlines after being examined for evidence of explosives use.
What has not added up though? ( Forgive me, I don't usually get into the 9/11 forums.) People attempted to highjack a plane, and they ended up crashing into the ground killing everyone on board because they were unable to keep control of the plane long enough to make it to the white house. I don't know. makes sense to me. But again, I don't get into the 9/11 forums so I am not all that up on the 9/11 conspiracies.

Gimme_some_truth, no offense, but if you "don't usually get into the 9/11 forums" and you "aren't all that up on the 9/11 conspiracies," why are you coming in here uninformed and asking questions like, "What has not added up?"
There are volumes of threads on this topic that have all the information you need, so it is a bit irritating to see a member pop in and make implications about a thread while, at the same time, expecting to be educated about the talking points of the event.
Why did you choose this 9/11 to comment in?

Cool story bro. I saw that movie also. You really took alot of time and effort to clearly spell out this conspiracy story. I bet you cannot prove even one fact in that story. AS A MATTER OF FACT, I BET YOU CANNOT PROVE HOW THE 2 NON PLANC CALLS WERE MADE FROM A CELL PHONE AT 500 MPH AT 35,000 FEET....
SPEW YOUR SHILL LIES TO SOMEONE ELSE.
Originally posted by gimme_some_truthYeah, I was wondering why the owner of the video did not release it to anyone.... I don't know. Maybe they did not want to be hounded 24/7 by the media wanting to interview them all the time

Six Sigma - People who have made up their minds regardless of the facts are never going to change their beliefs. I applaud your efforts to infuse a few facts into this thread of opinions, but I'm afraid that they will continue with their resorting to name calling rather than intelligent conversation. This is the reason why I normally stay out of the 9-11 nonsense threads and am once again reminded of that. I came into this thread to see a video and got the usual hysteria. My bad.

Six Sigma was called both a troll and a shill. You may not see that as name calling but I do. When people do not have a logical argument against a fact, they resort to name calling. Especially in the 9/11 and UFO forums. That is why I mostly stay out of them, but here I am again. I feel the need to facepalm myself.
Edited to add: Gimme Some Truth, my post wasn't directed toward you at all. While you certainly have every right to ask questions about 9/11 in this thread, I would suggest you take some time to go over the considerable amount of opinions posted in the 9/11 forums if you truly are interested in the many theories regarding that tragic event. The forums have been quite heated from the get go and people on all sides have often resorted to insults and name calling rather than intelligent debate - so I tend to feel it is a waste of time for me personally to go into those forums.
And now I feel that I have somewhat hijacked this thread enough and will now move on to other threads.edit on 6-9-2011 by tallcool1 because: To address G.S.T.

ANYWAY! To get back to the topic of this video....I noticed after watching it again, no time or date stamps. Again with my theory that it was made at another time...
Can anyone find a longer version of this vid, or even a similar one from another witness, doesn't seem like a lot of smoke, just a big poof and then a bit of a trail. Other plane crash vids have thick black smoke that trails on and on for a good amount of time.
