And you know this how?

On September 11, 2001 when the passengers of Flight 77 were murdered. All the news agencies got it right. If you have evidence to the contrary you can sue them for telling lies.
It has been 8 years did you miss the news on September 11th 2001?
No one has evidence to the contrary yet. Good luck
And you know this how?

No the agrument is that the evidence (CMH statements) has been online for years now and requires actual study and research, not internet forum sound-bites or youtube videos. CIT for example has cherry-picked them to death in the case of the ANC witnesses and ignored the rest that do not fit their 'promotion'.
The FDR and other parts of the plane were cataloged and identified by the FBI with the assistance of other law enforcement agencies, but those documents are being witheld at the moment due to pending cases (KSM coming to NYC for example). So to say they were not identified is simply a false statement. The FDR was identified and is in the custody of the FBI as evidence. Talk to KSM's lawyer's because they would be very happy to hear that the FBI did not do the proper identification of it.
No, I'm not going to a thread and get involved in fruitless 'no evidence' to support it thread. I am on ATS to discuss the FDR decode. I am only correcting the disinformation you presented in regards to the source's identification. When I get a new ISP (I had to dump Bell South DSL), they will be back up at AAL77.COM along with the volumes of other supporting radar and atc records that validate the identification of the plane independent of the FBI. But then again, most serious researchers have (and still are) already done their homework.
Now I'll be happy to entertain any questions/comments you may have in regards to the decode, but please dont pretend that I am the one leading you 'off topic'. Quite the contrary, you made the assertion that the FDR had not been identified. It has been. If you think it has not, then you need to alert KSM's lawyers because they would really like to be able to prove that. Until that happens, it is just your belief and not assertable fact.

Where is the evidence to prove it is not Flight 77? What is stopping someone from exposing the Flight 77 hoax? facts and evidence; lol.
The only proof offered the plane parts are not Flight 77 is talk and zero substance.

Of course if they were identified as belonging to AA77, the CT's would have just claimed it was just another cover up, or the government changed the numbers, or they lied etc etc.
Why do you even think there was a need to match the numbers? Is it common practice at all air crashes?

Following a certain number of flying hours or, in the case of landing gears, a certain number of takeoff-and-landing cycles, these critical parts are required to be changed, overhauled or inspected by specialist mechanics. When these parts are installed, their serial numbers are married to the aircraft registration numbers in the aircraft records and the plans and scheduling section will notify maintenance specialists when the parts must be replaced. If the parts are not replaced within specified time or cycle limits, the airplane will normally be grounded until the maintenance action is completed. Most of these time-change parts, whether hydraulic flight surface actuators , pumps, landing gears, engines or engine components, are virtually indestructible. It would be impossible for an ordinary fire resulting from an airplane crash to destroy or obliterate all of those critical time-change parts or their serial numbers. I repeat, impossible
In all my years of direct and indirect participation, I never witnessed nor even heard of an aircraft loss, where the wreckage was accessible, that prevented investigators from finding enough hard evidence to positively identify the make, model, and specific registration number of the aircraft -- and in most cases the precise cause of the accident. This is because every military and civilian passenger-carrying aircraft have many parts that are identified for safety of flight. That is, if any of the parts were to fail at any time during a flight, the failure would likely result in the catastrophic loss of aircraft and passengers. Consequently, these parts are individually controlled by a distinctive serial number and tracked by a records section of the maintenance operation and by another section called plans and scheduling.
Arlington Topography, Obstacles Make American 77 Final Leg Impossible

Update - 12/12/08
It appears some are still confused regarding the corrections of the below article and still do not understand that the video presented which contain the proper formula's as determined by Aeronautical Engineers is a "correction" to our article below. This update is to inform those who are still confused that the presentation of "9/11: Attack On The Pentagon" and the "G Forces" clip below offered for free, is the correction to our admitted math errors from our original article. For most this is not in question. For those who make excuse for the govt story, apparently they are still confused and still quote the 11.2 G's of the original article wondering when we are going to "correct" our mistakes, yet anyone who actually views the video presentation will readily realize such errors have been corrected.
Those who do make excuse for the govt story (and many who admittedly pay too much for their training, read: "milking the student") feel we should delete our errors in the original article below. We disagree. We show our errors and work through them. To date, this is the only article on this site which we have made mistakes and have since corrected the errors as shown in the video presentation directly below this update. Thank you for your understanding and we apologize for any confusion.

Impossible to Prove a Falsehood True
by George Nelson
Colonel, USAF (ret.)
The precautionary principle is based on the fact that its impossible to prove a false claim to be true. Failure to prove a false premise true does not automatically make it false but caution is called for, especially in the case of a world-changing event like the alleged terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 . After five long years, our government has provided the public with no physical evidence to support its claim that the attacks were the work of Muslim terrorists, or even that the identity of the aircraft that struck their targets on September 11 was the same as those specified in the 9/11 Commission's report. As explained below, it would be a simple matter to confirm the identity of each of the four aircraft, and until such physical proof of identity is forthcoming, no conclusions can be scientifically drawn to support the official story as being accurate. This is a precaution against rushing to judgment. At this point, it could just as easily be assumed that the 911 hijackings were part of a black operation carried out with full cooperation of elements within our own government.
In July, 1965 I had just been commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the U. S. Air Force after taking a solemn oath that I would protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that I would bear true faith and allegiance to the same. I took that oath very seriously, and it was my constant companion throughout a thirty-year military career in the field of aircraft maintenance.
As an additional duty, aircraft maintenance officers are occasionally tasked as members of aircraft accident investigation boards and my personal experience was no exception. In 1989 I graduated from the Aircraft Mishap Investigation Course at the Institute of Safety and Systems Management at the University of Southern California . In addition to my direct participation as an aircraft accident investigator, I reviewed countless aircraft accident investigation reports for thoroughness and comprehensive conclusions for the Inspector General, HQ Pacific Air Forces during the height of the Vietnam conflict.
In all my years of direct and indirect participation, I never witnessed nor even learned of an aircraft loss, where the wreckage was accessible, that prevented investigators from finding enough hard evidence to positively identify the make, model, and specific registration number of the aircraft --- and in most cases, even determining the precise cause of the accident. This is because every military and civilian passenger-carrying aircraft have many parts that are identified for safety of flight. That is, if any of the parts were to fail at any time during a flight, the failure would likely result in the catastrophic loss of aircraft and passengers. Consequently, these parts are individually controlled by a distinctive serial number and tracked by a records section of the maintenance operation and by another section called plans and scheduling.
Following a certain number of flying hours or, in the case of landing gears, a certain number of takeoff-and-landing cycles, these critical parts are required to be replaced, overhauled or inspected by specialist mechanics. The plans and scheduling section will notify maintenance specialists with a work order when the parts must be replaced. When the parts are installed, the completed work order will have serial numbers of the parts married to the aircraft registration number and it will be returned to the records section for updating in the aircraft records. If the parts are not replaced within specified time or cycle limits the airplane will normally be grounded until the maintenance action is completed. Most of these time-change parts, whether hydraulic flight surface actuators, pumps, landing gears, engines or engine components, are virtually indestructible. It would be impossible for an ordinary fire resulting from an airplane crash to destroy or obliterate all of those critical time-change parts or their serial numbers. I repeat, impossible.
Considering the catastrophic incidents of September 11 2001 , certain troubling but irrefutable conclusions must be drawn from the known facts, and I get no personal pleasure or satisfaction from reporting my assessment of these facts.
United Airlines Flight 93
This flight was reported by the federal government to be a Boeing 757 aircraft, registration number N591UA, carrying 45 persons, including four Arab hijackers who had taken control of the aircraft, crashing the plane in a Pennsylvania farm field.
Aerial photos of the alleged crash site were made available to the general public. They show a shallow, smoking hole in the ground, but private investigators were not allowed to come anywhere near the alleged crash site. If an aircraft crash caused the hole in the ground, there would have literally hundreds of serially controlled time-change parts within the hole that would have proven beyond any shadow of doubt the precise tail-number or identity of the aircraft. However, the government has not produced any physical evidence that would prove beyond doubt, the specific identity of the aircraft that allegedly crashed at that site. On the contrary, it was reported that the aircraft, registry number N591UA, was still in operation for several weeks after September 11, 2001 .
American Airlines Flight 11
This flight was reported by the government to be a Boeing 767-200, registration number N334AA, carrying 92 people, including foreign nationals who had hijacked the plane. This plane was reported to have crashed into the north tower of the WTC complex of buildings.
Again, the government would have no trouble proving its case if only a few of the hundreds of serially controlled parts had been collected to positively identify the aircraft. A Boeing 767 landing gear or just one engine would have been easy to find and identify.
United Airlines Flight 175
This flight was reported to be a Boeing 767-200, registration number N612UA, carrying 65 people, including the crew and five hijackers. It reportedly flew into the south tower of the WTC.
Once more, the government has yet to produce even one serially controlled part from the crash site that would have dispelled any questions as to the identity of the specific airplane.
American Airlines Flight 77
This was reported to be a Boeing 757, registration number N644AA, carrying 64 people, including the flight crew and five hijackers. This aircraft, with a 125-foot wingspan, was reported to have crashed into the Pentagon, leaving an entry hole no more than 16 feet wide.
Following a cool-down of the resulting fire, this crash site would have been very easy to collect enough time-change equipment within 15 minutes to positively identify the aircraft registry. There was apparently some aerospace type of equipment found at the site but no attempt was made to produce serial numbers or to identify the specific parts found. Some of the equipment removed from the building was actually hidden from public view.
Conclusion
The government alleges that four wide-body airliners crashed on the morning of September 11 2001 , resulting in the deaths of more than 3,000 human beings, yet not one piece of hard aircraft evidence has been produced in an attempt to positively identify any of the four aircraft. On the contrary, it seems only that all potential evidence was deliberately kept hidden from public view. The hard evidence would have included hundreds of critical time-change aircraft items, plus security videotapes that were confiscated by the FBI immediately following each tragic episode.
With all the evidence readily available at the Pentagon crash site, any unbiased, rational investigator could only conclude that a Boeing 757 did not fly into the Pentagon as alleged. Similarly, with all the evidence available at the Shanksville, Pennsylvania crash site, it was most doubtful that a passenger airliner caused the obvious hole in the ground and certainly not the Boeing 757 as alleged. Regarding the planes that allegedly flew into the two WTC towers, it appears that heavy aircraft were involved in each case, but no evidence has been produced that would support the government's version of what actually caused the total destruction of the buildings, let alone proving the identity of the aircraft. That is the central problem with the government's 911 story.
As painful and heartbreaking as was the loss of innocent lives and the lingering health problems of thousands more, a most troublesome and nightmarish probability remains that so many Americans appear to have been involved in the most heinous conspiracy in our country's history.
Footnote: It has now been more than five years since the tragic events of 9/11/01 , and still the general public has seen no physical evidence that should have been collected at each of the four crash sites, (a routine requirement during mandatory investigations of each and every major aircraft crash.) The National Transportation Safety Board has announced on its website that responsibility for the investigations and reports have been assigned to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, but the FBI has refused to publicly release any copies of their mandatory investigations. The FBI response to a request for copies of their reports under the Freedom of Information Act was a refusal. The agency claimed that their investigation reports were "in a file", and that the FBI was exempt from FOIA release, "due to the sensibilities of surviving families of the crash victims".
When you parse your way through all the BS about the FDR, the answer is NO. The parts were never identified as belonging to AA77 but I am sure this is off topic.
And you know this how?

Here's a little homework assignment for Lily, or anyone who trusts PFT as aviation authorities:
Find me one report stating that a crashed aircraft was ID'ed using part numbers and serial numbers. I don't need to see the parts or know the serial numbers, and I don't need a chain of custody report(all the things that you truthers constantly demand).

You would not be demanding I produce this list unless you were bluffing or just knew it was something I can not access. That really does not matter at this point. What you are asking me to do is decide who's word is worth more about how AA77 should have been handled - some person on the internet who claims to work on airplanes orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr a retired Air force Colonel?
Sorry to break your heart sweet but we already have us a pilot on here that cannot actually express any more knowledge than an avid MSFSX user. We have someone in Iraq fighting for our freedom who also finds time to sleep for at least some time and then post here for 16 hours a day.

Thats the point, Lily. You shouldn't need to accept anyones word over anothers. You can look for the evidence and then you can decide who is right.

You are absolutely right. So far, I have seen no proof whatsoever that AA77 crashed into the Pentagon. NONE. If you have some, I would love to see it. I do not mean speculative crap or "go google it" answers. It has been 8 years. Just lay the proof out. I have done my looking and it sure looks to me like something very different happened there that day.
