None of those appear to be canvas. Actually, I'll bet they don't use canvas anymore, since it's very heavy, and there are lighter, equally durable materials made today.
Originally posted by Skibum Doesn't look like a crate or a box. Looks like whats underneath is made of a canvas material. My guess would be that it is quite possibly one of these, being brought in. www.photolibrary.fema.gov... www.photolibrary.fema.gov... www.photolibrary.fema.gov... www.photolibrary.fema.gov... This one is similar www.photolibrary.fema.gov...
Feel free to insert any suitable material you wish. My point was that the material of the "mystery crate" appears to be made of the same stuff the tents are. It even has what appears to be a pre made rain fly on it ,not just a blue tarp wrapped around it.

And you talked to these firefighters, right? I have no doubt that there were a number of firefighters that didn’t see evidence of a plane, since looking for a pieces of a plane is not part of their job. They were busy elsewhere. Not all the firefighters were inside that part of the building, certainly not with parts of the structure collapsing. There have been other firefighters that were there and have definitely reported seeing parts of a plane. Are you saying that they are lying? What a nice convenient excuse for you.
Originally posted by andy1972 Fire fighters wouldnt lie you say...well what of the firefighters that didnt see any evidnce of the plane inside the pentagon.
and what of it? It burned up. Most of it went up in the fireball from the impact, the rest burned up in the fire.
And what of the 23500 litres of fuel.
Because the plane did not hit the lawn. It hit the building.
..why are there no marks on the lawn outside.
Because those “standard reflective suits” are only standard for the firefighters stationed at the airport. All the rest of the firefighters wear standard nomex suits, just like in the photos.
.and if they are so certain that its a plane why is it that the fire fighter dont wear the standard reflective suits
You must be delusional. What is all that white stuff on the ground in the above photos?
or put a carpet of foam on the ground for the fuel.
Because that is what fire fighters do, They get in close to the fire and fight it. .why is it that witnesses smell cordite... Ahhh, the infamous cordite smell. I have a lot of issues with that. Forst of all, with the exception of some surplus ammunition for battleship caliber navy guns, there aren’t too many people still using cordite out there. www.thedonovan.com... I have serious doubts that even in the Pentagon, many people would be that familiar with what real cordite smells like. It hasn’t been used in ammunition for a number of years. It certainly isn’t used in missiles as either a propellant or as the warhead. Given this, I suspect that what these people smelled was simply burning “stuff” i.e. a building, an airplane, jet fuel, people plastics, cement dust, etc. If you are going to insist that the “smell of cordite” proves that a missile hit the pentagon, then you are going to have to provide documentation to prove that the detonation of a missile warhead will produce the same smell as “cordite,” and that it is physically impossible for any other combination of burning material present in the building to smell like that. You can’t so the cordite thing is a dead end. It proves nothing except that the people that claim it does don’t know what they are talking about.
.why are they so close.
Maybe they don’t show anything? What if they released this data and in fact the cameras were not pointed the right way to see anything, would this satisfy you?
why is it that none of the camera evidence from the service station or the freeway or the hotel infront of the pentagon has been made public...
doesnt this smell to you like the famousABRAHAM ZAPRUDER FILM of the assaination of Kennedy...your evidence is well researched but your faith in your own government is VERY VERY VERY MISPLACED...How can you trust any government that would kill its own commander in chief..you forget that the cia control the half of the media and the Rothschild family the other [BLAH, BLAH, BLAH (long rant that has nothing to do with the subject of this thread)]
And explain why plenty of people also talk about the smell of jet fuel (www.google.com...)

Oh yeah i read it, and i still believe that some people like Howard and nospam are victims of a very powerful misinformation. You do not realize how subtle and sly misinformation can be. [edit on 21/3/2005 by Musclor]

Actually it was more like 76 minutes from ATC realising there was a problem, so that's probably not the best example to prove your point (www.ntsb.gov...). [edit on 21-3-2005 by ashmok]
Originally posted by MrDog What I find strange is that 15 mins after Payne Stewarts plane went off course there were jets on the scene...
Take a closer look. At 0933:38 EDT (6 minutes and 20 seconds after N47BA acknowledged the previous clearance), the controller instructed N47BA to change radio frequencies and contact another Jacksonville ARTCC controller...The controller called the flight five more times over the next 4 1/2 minutes but received no response. About 0952 CDT,a USAF F-16 test pilot from the 40th Flight Test Squadron at Eglin Air Force Base (AFB), Florida, was vectored to within 8 nm of N47BA. About 0954 CDT, at a range of 2,000 feet from the accident airplane and an altitude of about 46,400 feet,9 the test pilot made two radio calls to N47BA but did not receive a response. www.ntsb.gov... Still don't see it? Check footnote 7. "About 1010 EDT, the accident airplane crossed from the EDT zone to the CDT zone in the vicinity of Eufaula, Alabama". It's a change of timezone. They realised contact was lost around 9:38 EDT, passed into the CDT timezone at 10:10 EDT, a plane got to within 2,000 feet at 9:54 CDT (but 10:54 EDT). 9:38 - 10:54 = 76 minutes.
Originally posted by MrDog I don't think 76 minutes is shortly after. The link you sent said the jets tried to contact at 0952 and contact was lost at 0933, so sorry not 15 minutes but 19 minutes.
Not at all, CDT = EDT + 1 hour, plus they added the footnote to explain when this happened. The 76 minute figure is correct. Unfortunately someone missed that in a report for ABC, I think, & said it was only 16/20 minutes before a fighter arrived, & now that claim is repeated everything. As you say, this is about Washington, but the Stewart case does show that the "ten minute response time" people sometimes claim isn't exactly realistic. And it's not the only one. In 2002, for instance, a Cessna entered restricted airspace around the White House. Even with increased post-911 security, fighters didn't take off from Andrews until 18 minutes later, and the plane wasn't intercepted until "a few minutes" after that (archives.cnn.com...). The system just isn't that great.
