I seem to recall that they did release information about what was on the black boxes, including audio. They did not find anything other than was expected, terrorists took over that plane and flew it into the Pentagon.
Originally posted by Damned It's been mentioned (tons of times now) that they did find the black boxes. However, no information on the contents has ever been released. Actually, I can't say I believe they found the boxes, since there's absolutely no way I can confirm it.
I take it you have not read, nor accpeted the findings of the 9/11 Commisions report? Might want to check it out.
Originally posted by Damned Where did you hear that? And do you have reason to believe it's true? Did you see pictures and/or hear audio? Or, is it again, just the word of the gov?
Events that would damage the recorders sufficiently to make them unreadable are extremely rare. The recorders are designed to survive the kinds of impacts that happened at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The storage medium of each recorder is located in a protective capsule, which must be able to withstand an impact of 3,400 Gs (3,400 times the force of gravity). Additionally, each must also survive flames at 2,000 F for up to 30 minutes, and submersion in 20,000 feet of saltwater for 30 days. Typically, to increase their chances of survival, the recorders are located in the tail section of the aircraft, which usually sustains the least impact in a crash. As a matter of fact, ABC news reported on 9-13-2001 that �Although investigators look for an entire black box, sometimes the only parts of the device that survive are the recorder�s crash-survivable memory units (CSMU). The CSMU is almost indestructible. [A former NTSB source told us that only a direct hit from a nuclear blast can destroy it] �It�s extremely rare that we don�t get the recorders back. I can�t recall another domestic case in which we did not recover the recorders,� said Ted Lopatkiewicz, spokesman for the NTSB. And FBI spokesman Joseph Valiquette said �We don�t know what was said in the cockpits, by the crew members or by the hijackers.� (Associated Press, 2-24-2002) FBI Director Robert Mueller said Flight 77�s FDR provided altitude, speed, headings, and other information, but the cockpit voice recorder �contained nothing useful,� and he originally declined to say what was gleaned from both recorders on Flight 93 -- before Deena Burnett started her campaign described above. On September 15, 2001, Mueller told the Arizona Star that �the agency had gotten no information from the voice data recorder from Flight 77.� Mueller said the [voice] recorder from the plane that rammed into the Pentagon was so badly damaged by fire that it would not yield any information. But the flight data recorder [from Flight 77] was recovered in usable condition as was the flight data recorder from the Pennsylvania crash. (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 9-21-2001) However, in a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) report on September 14, 2001, Dick Bridges, spokesman for Arlington County, Virginia authorities, told the Associated Press �the voice recorder was damaged on the outside and the flight data recorder was charred in fires that broke out following the crash.� This report directly contradicts statements made by FBI Director Robert Mueller; but no one has questioned the inconsistency.

76. In accordance with FAA regulations, United 93's cockpit voice recorder recorded the last 31 minutes of sounds from the cockpit via microphones in the pilots' headsets, as well as in the overhead panel of the flight deck. This is the only recorder from the four hijacked airplanes to survive the impact and ensuing fire. The CVRs and FDRs from American 11 and United 175 were not found, and the CVR from American Flight 77 was badly burned and not recoverable. See FBI report,"CVR from UA Flight #93," Dec. 4, 2003; see also FAA regulations, 14 C.F.R. �� 25.1457, 91.609, 91.1045, 121.359; Flight 93 CVR data. A transcript of the CVR recording was prepared by the NTSB and the FBI.
As far as I know only some family members of the victims could listen to the tape; if that�s wrong I would be interested in an audio-link. The 911 report only quotes some of the content of the Voice recorder. The pilots association refuses to release the tapes: FBI Plays UAL Flight 93 CVR Tapes Over ALPA Objections See also here: www.alpa.org... Are there pilots here? If yes: do you agree with ALPA?

Yeah, Look what happen to France!!!!!!!!
Originally posted by Cade I agree. Perhaps the real danger is getting caught in the discussion, trying to convince those who love the government more than they love their country and the public, instead of doing what needs to be done about it, whatever that might be. The nationalists will never accept the evidence of misconduct, the patriots are always prepared to defend their country against their government, if nessesary. Well it's nessesary now! More so than ever before in known history. I keep comparing to germany, but so far not many has had much to say about that comparison. The nationalists just don't have the heart to look at this evidence, they are not bad people, they just worship the institutions rather than the people who constitute them. If they really looked at the people, they would quickly realize that no institution is any more legit than the people who run them. I feel that we are waisting our time, getting the blind to see, it's their choice and peace to them. We on the other hand carry the grave responcibility that comes with this knowledge. Ofcause some of the responsibilities are to spread the word so to speak, but I don't think it's about convincing those who refuse to open their eyes. In my country we have a saying: "you can't put anything in a closed hand"...and you can't show anything to closed eyes. We need to move on, there are enought of free thinkers out there who can see something is wrong and who might love their government, but who loves their country and the population even more. We must show the evidence to them, as many as possible. Many are already in action. Perhaps we need to stop waisting our time in forums like this and doing something. (I live in denmark, and we are facing the same problems here now because of 911. Our constitutions is also being subverted, the EU wants to monitor every citizens phonecalls, emails etc. etc.) 911citizenswatch.org... Someone once said: "A society of sheep, in time will breed a government of wolves" Sincerly Cade ps. the real discussion we should be having is not if it "there's a dragon in my garage" but what we are going to do about stopping the campaign saying there is!
What about slamming into a building at close to 500 mph?

(September 15, 2001) source
IAs of 3 p.m. today, a total of 83 sets of remains had been pulled from the Pentagon wreckage, 77 of which had already been taken to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, said Army Major James Cassella. Six had been recovered previously and would also be taken there, he said.
What about my source? A close friend who was on scene as part of recovery operations and told me - face to face - about the bodies and body parts he pulled from the wreckage? That un-government-controlled enough?
Originally posted by Damned Yeah, but your source is the gov't controlled American media. Their story was just another official story, given to them by the "officials."
*laughing* *deep breath* *laughs some more* So. In other words, nothing anyone says will matter one iota to you, will it? It's all poop unless it adheres to your ideas of what happened? Oh, that's RICH.
Originally posted by Damned It's hear say. There's plenty of that going around. What makes yours anymore special?
