Its just too convenient for other crashes way more severe to have the the info intact. It's still fishy to me.

DATELINE: Singapore
The crew of the Korean Air (KAL) Boeing MD-11 freighter which crashed near Shanghai on 15 April complained to each other of control problems soon after take-off, according to an initial decoding of the aircraft's cockpit voice recorder (CVR)...
The CAAC, which is being assisted in its investigation by the NTSB and the Korean Civil Aviation Bureau, says the aircraft's flight data recorder was destroyed by the impact, "and only fragments of the tape have been recovered".

HEADLINE: One year later, crash of rescue helicopter still a mystery
DATELINE: HARLINGEN, Texas
Three emergency team members died June 5, 1998, when their a Eurocopter A350BA crashed six miles southeast of Cuevitas at about 5:40 a.m. on the way to a major accident.
The victims were Carlos De La Fuente Sr., a 34-year-old flight nurse; paramedic Brenda Leinweber, 46, of South Padre Island; and pilot Anthony Martinez, 46, of McAllen.
The helicopter was not found until the next day at 9:45 a.m., thirty hours later. Searchers were hampered by thick brush because very little of the helicopter remained. Even the flight data recorder had been destroyed.

HALIFAX (CP) -- Investigators searching for the cause of the crash last week of a Boeing 747 cargo jet won't get to hear from the two people who may have known exactly what happened.
After days of searching swampy, scorched terrain outside Halifax, officials recovered the aircraft's cockpit voice recorder from a kilometre-long trail of mangled debris.
"But that's the good news," Bill Fowler, lead investigator for the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, said during a news conference Tuesday.
"The not-so-good news is the recorder was damaged such that there is no retrievable information."
The so-called black box, which records the cockpit conversations of the pilot and co-pilot, was destroyed by fire after the MK Airlines Ltd. jumbo jet crashed on takeoff last Thursday at Halifax International Airport.
Fowler said the recorder was found Monday and shipped to the board's lab in Ottawa.
It was quickly determined that no recording survived the fire that resulted when the jet, carrying a full load of fuel, hit the ground and broke up.
"It certainly would have helped, but we were operating under the assumption we wouldn't have it," said Fowler, referring to the severity of the impact.
A second black box -- the plane's flight data recorder -- was recovered Sunday. That instrument, which monitors aircraft function and performance, was also damaged, but investigators are hopeful it will offer fresh clues.

That proves nothing to me. If it doesn't have concrete data then I could've thrown it in there after the incident to your knowledge. Its just too convenient for other crashes way more severe to have the the info intact. It's still fishy to me. How hard is it to prove me wrong? Just release concrete footage of a plane hitting the pentagon, I mean its only one of the most guarded places on earth. Shouldn't be too difficult for you to produce should it?
Well it proves you were wrong in asserting that no black boxes were found at the Pentagon . I also linked you to an analysis of the final data from the flight data recorder so I don't understand your "if it doesn't have concrete data" remark.
What I'm saying is you could have easily had that flight data pre-recorded and added later, it doesn't proved to me that a plane hit the pentagon. For all I know you are working with the FBI and that's your go to answer. I'm not saying that your wrong and its false info, but to me it proves nothing. If it was a plane a footage should be available. You can't deny the security for the pentagon is high as it gets with multiple cameras and angles.
My point is in this case it would be much easier for you or the government to simply release damning footage that would make me say wow it was a plane afterall, but since they or you cannot produce such footage then I will still think it's bogus. Just ask a pilot with 30 years of experience if he could pull this off let alone a guy that just got his license.
You can believe what you want its your right and I respect that, but in my eyes no plane hit this building. At least not the one they claim it to be.

This is standard practise, talk no plane, get moved to HOAX, keep talking, get banned.
I can give you examples of no plane threads that have mods lying just to discredit the OP. This is on record.
Wanna see?
Maybe the mods got confused and though the no plane theory was in relation to the twin towers? I don't think this thread belongs in the hoax bin.

And just about every picture that showed "pods" on them has been debunked as part of the aircraft. The wingbox looks like a pod from certain angles, because it extends down somewhat from the center fuselage section.

It doesn't matter what a witness said on tv, the broadcasted footage of planes hitting the WTC are all fake, period, and that can only mean one thing.

is totally disrespectful to the dead and inconsiderate and hurtful to the dead.

I have been studying 9-11 FOR TEN YEARS and get offended with your BS!
You're seriously saying that the untold thousands of New Yorkers who watched those planes hit those towers were government plants? All those pictures and videos taken from streets and buildings were fake?
