28. Missing common sense
Edited on Wed Aug-20-03 02:22 PM by boloboffin
As he and Rescue Engine 335 responded toward the Pentagon, there was confusion from the control tower in an alert of a "missing 757."

The confusion was from the control tower. They were missing a 757 that had dived off their radar. They were examining likely possibities of where said aircraft had gone.

But it was quickly confirmed the crash was at the Pentagon...

Missing 757 found. :thumbsup: Alert DulceDecorum.

Dulce sez: I guess that the nose gear was right next to the point of impact.

Why do you guess that, Dulce? That afternoon, Captain Defina and airport Battalion Chief Walter Hood, as well as other jurisdictions' battalion chiefs, led crews inside with attack lines to fight fires on every floor of the "D" and "E" rings. Defina doesn't say where he saw the pieces of the nose gear. They could have been anywhere in the D or E rings where he was fighting the fire.

Nose gear = plane found at Pentagon. :thumbsup: Alert DulceDecorum.

Intended crash is the opposite of "accidental" crash. "Intentional" would have been a better word, but that convicts the Office of the Chief of Army Public Affairs of a little sloppy word choice. The plane was intended to crash into the Pentagon, and that's what they wanted to convey.

Intended crash = plane found at Pentagon. :thumbsup: Alert DulceDecorum.

Dulce, you simply must let go of this "vaporized - liquid" meme you keep brandishing about. People groping for metaphors or computer models approximating certain aspects of the plane crash are not the ironclad proofs you seek.

A little more focus on recent John Dean articles would be a more helpful memetic source in our fight against BushCo. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
