Face it, folks: Flight 77 did NOT hit the Pentagon
Here's another proof that the NTSB data for Flight 77 are complete BS.

The official story (9/11 CommReport) has it that Flight 77 vanished for some five minutes in a radar hole at 8:57, but was not detected by controllers when he was visible again because they were "not told to look for primary targets". Here's footnote 144, Chapter 1:

144. John Thomas interview (May 4, 2004); Charles Thomas interview (May 4, 2004). We have reviewed all FAA documents, transcripts, and tape recordings related to American 77 and have found no evidence that FAA headquarters issued a directive to surrounding centers to search for primary radar targets. Review of the same materials also indicates that no one within FAA located American 77 until the aircraft was identified by Dulles controllers at 9:32. For much of that time, American 77 was traveling through Washington Center's airspace. The Washington Center's controllers were looking for the flight, but they were not told to look for primary radar returns.

The NTSB flight path study has Flight 77 flying between 25000 ft and 35000 ft when it was in Washington Center airspace, i.e. if it was there then it was clearly visible on radar.

So do we have a case of massive incompetence of the controllers of Washington Center here, not able to spot a primary target for 25 minutes?

The answer is: No! No case of incompetent controllers, rather a case of a corrupt commission obstructing the evidence and faked data released by a corrupt government agency.

Just listen to this gentleman here. He's the operations manager of Washington Center, and at 9:33:50, he provided NEADS with this clear information here:

Let me tell you this story here: Indianapolis Center was working this guy - American 77 - at flight level 350, they lost radar with him, they lost contact with him, they lost everything, they don't have any idea where he is or what happened. So what we've done at the surrounding centers here is tell them all to look out for limited codes or primary targets or whatever the case may be and that was the last time - that was about 15 minutes ago since I talked to the Indianapolis Center operations manager.

Source: NORAD tapes, channel 4; scroll forward to 1:08:20 (about 9:33:50) )

http://www.aal77.com/norad/norad.php

So Washington Center and Indianapolis Center did everything they could to spot primary targets and unknown objects on their screens - as we can expect from professional controllers -, but they couldn't find one. And the 9/11 Commission is convicted of another big lie.

And the so-called evidence that Flight 77 was flying back to Washington is nihilated.

Flight 77 didn't hit the Pentagon. Objections, anyone?

10. Gentlemen, your "instant debunking" attempts don't impress me

So can please someone explain to me why the controllers of Washington and Indianapolis Center did not spot radar target Flight 77 for 25 minutes despite they were looking for it desperately? And why did the 9/11 Commission lie about this fact? I'm not interested in replies that ignore these questions. Thanks.

Bolo, at least from you I would have expected something better than just playing the "victim families" card. I'm disappointed.

11. With a FDR, a CVR, the remains of the plane pulled from the site, and the positive ID
of the passengers, Flight 77 denial is among the chief absurdities of life.

They didn't find it because they didn't find it. Searching primary radar for targets w/o a transponder isn't something ATCs do everyday, especially when the plane wasn't where they expected it to be. Your objection is ludicrous in the face of the above evidence.

12. I hope air traffic controllers will not take offend from your insinuations

Where exactly do you think the controllers did Flight 77 "expect to be"? Obviously several centers were involved in the search. The fact that Washington Center was involved, too, shows that they indeed reckoned on the possibility that Flight 77 turned around and moved through their airspace. But they didn't see anything. For 25 minutes.

Edited on Fri Jan-18-08 02:59 PM by SDuderstadt
if your hypothesis is true, then account for the fact that all but one of the AA77's passenger's remains were positively identified at the scene. That blows your hypothesis out of the water.

As far as your question concerning radar, I'd love to answer it, but only if you understand the complexities involved that day and can break free of the CT tunnel vision. I had similar questions to yours and even leaned in the direction of "something doesn't add up" until I started looking for the answers to my questions and, when presented with them, went, "Oh. OH, now THAT is a perfectly reasonable explanation", consistent with both science and reason and perfectly consistent with the "official story", although I am hardly claiming that there are not unanswered questions. In order to understand these answers, one must start with the big picture of how these entities (in this case, the FAA works, what their limitations and obstacles are and the absolute chaos and confusion that reigned that day). You also have to remain open to the idea that whatever sources you're relying upon are either mistaken or wrong, or simply only have parts of the puzzle.

The first piece is a discussion by Andrew Burfield with someone who essentially raised the same question you have. I'm not claiming him as the ultimate authority in the matter, just providing the overall framework to untangle this.

"AA77 was a Boeing 757, not a Boeing 767. Your account also isn't entirely true. AA77's transponder was turned off at 0856EDT, and it crashed into the Pentagon at 0937EDT. That's 41 minutes. Looks good so far for you right?

Not quite. AA77's transponder was turned off in a part of the USA with no primary radar coverage. Yes, that right, there's gaps in the primary radar coverage. With simultaneous loss of communications and transponder, the ARTCC controller rightly assumed the aircraft had crashed.

Indianapolis Centre then followed correct procedure and notified surrounding ARTCCs so airspace along AA77's flightpath could be sterilised. Meanwhile, of course, AA77 had turned around and was heading east, not west. When it entered an area with primary coverage at 0905EDT, no one noticed because they were looking west.

At 0908EDT Indianapolis Centre activated the USAF's Search and Rescue units at Langley AFB, to commence a search for AA77's wreckage.

By 0920EDT, Indianapolis Centre staff had learned that there were multiple suspected hijackings in progress. At this moment they began to suspect AA77 may have not crashed, but been hijacked.

At 0921EDT the FAA began searching for AA77 on radar, and Dulles TRACON were notified of suspected hijackings. They were directed to check all unknown radar contacts.

At 0932EDT Dulles TRACON located AA77 (although they didn't know it was AA77).

At 0934EDT NORAD hear about the unknown contact being tracked by Dulles TRACON, and direct fighters to intercept it.

At 0936EDT an ANG C-130 departs Reagan, and Tower controllers direct the aircraft to follow the radar track located by Dulles TRACON.

At 0937EDT the ANG C-130 reports that the aircraft has hit the Pentagon.

Thus by my calculation AA77 was hijacked for 41 minutes, which comprised of:
24 minutes during which the aircraft was believed to have crashed
12 minutes during which the aircraft was missing and suspected of being hijacked
5 minutes during which the aircraft was a suspect hijack but being tracked on radar"


Here's what the NTSB had to say about AA77:

http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB196/doc02.pdf

I'm still looking for the ATC transcript regarding AA77 and will post when I find it.

22. Chaos and confusion?

The manager's statement is clear and simple. His account doesn't imply chaos and confusion, and the hijackings did not occur in his airspace. He told his controllers to look out for anything odd spotted on radar. Do you really believe the controllers missed a primary radar target crossing their airspace at cruising altitude despite being explicitly instructed to look for primary targets? I hope not.

The charm of the NORAD tapes is their authenticity which trumps all of the dubious CVR/FDR/NTSB data which have been released years after the attacks.

even turning into dust would require significantly less energy than changing phase from solid to gas.

28. Numerous eyewitness accounts, Nebula
Do you honestly think such gruesome site photos would be put out to the public just because you demand it? I already gave you one eyewitness account. Here are more:


"Blast expert Allyn E. Kilsheimer was the first structural engineer to arrive at the Pentagon after the crash and helped coordinate the emergency response. "It was absolutely a plane, and I'll tell you why," says Kilsheimer, CEO of KCE Structural Engineers PC, Washington, D.C. "I saw the marks of the plane wing on the face of the building. I picked up parts of the plane with the airline markings on them. I held in my hand the tail section of the plane, and I found the black box." Kilsheimer's eyewitness account is backed up by photos of plane wreckage inside and outside the building. Kilsheimer adds: "I held parts of uniforms from crew members in my hands, including body parts. Okay?"



Here's the phone number for KCE:(202)833-8622. Why don't you call Allyn up? I'm certain he'd love to chat with you.

Edited on Sat Jan-19-08 12:47 AM by SDuderstadt
you must not have read everything McIntyre said (I suspect you were duped by a clipped quote from one of the "truth") websites. Man, talk about irony. Here's more of what he said on-air:

"PHILLIPS: And so once you were able to do that, did you make your way over to that area, or were they cordoning it off so you couldn't get through?

MCINTYRE: No, I did. You were able to get pretty close for a while. Eventually, they cleared out the scene.

As I said, I had a camera with me. I took pictures of some of the wreckage, some of the parts of the fuselage, a part of the cockpit, until they told us we had to move back away from the scene.

I saw thousands of shards of metal, of pieces of the plane all over the driveway. I didn't pick up any of them or touch any of them, but I saw them everywhere. And again, took some pictures of them."

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0605/16/lol.04.html


So, he says he not only saw recognizable parts of the plane, he took pictures of them. Looks like you just got blown out of the water again. If I were you, I'd think about staying out of the water until you learn how to swim. Or, at least not drown so fast.

George Orwell was right, he just had the date off by a decade and a half, is all.

If the September 11 truth-deniers can believe that the thin aluminum hull of a passenger aircraft can take out solid structural steel like a knife; that Jet Fuel A (diesel fuel) can melt steel so hot that it is still melted for days and weeks later; the way that this entire "9/11 Magic Show" spins it, then they probably are ready and able to believe anything........but the truth that is.

100. Look up the definition of hearsay.
An interview of a 1st party direct witness to an event is NOT hearsay. An interview with a 2nd party source recounting what they claim a 1st party source told them would be hearsay. Duh.

54. Where where where?
Out of the hundreds if not thousands of photos of the crash site, inside and out, how come no can come up with one of an airplane seat or luggage?

Since Flight 77 was approximately only one-quarter full of passengers at the time of take off, there would be 4 times as many seats as there were passengers. The number of empty seats found at the scene should far outnumber the passenger corpses by 4 to 1. Thus, the crash site should have been littered with plane seats (and luggage) everywhere, and yet they were nowhere to be found!

what the fuck the crash would look like? These are exhibits from a criminal trial. Why would they introduce pictures of luggage?

No matter what evidence is produced and how overwhelming it is or how credible or numerous the witnesses are, you've already closed your mind. Instead of looking for evidence and following it to logical conclusion, you deliberately ignore and deny evidence and reason backwards from a conclusion you want. Pathetic. I am seriously not interested in furthering this conversation. I've had it.

When Williams discovered the scorched bodies of several airline passengers, they were still strapped into their seats. The stench of charred flesh overwhelmed him.

"It was the worst thing you can imagine," said Williams, whose squad from Fort Belvoir, Va., entered the building, less than four hours after the terrorist attack. "I wanted to cry from the minute I walked in. But I have soldiers under me and I had to put my feelings aside."

64. So I'm faced with the choice of
believing you; that states no one saw the seats, having not been at the pentagon yourself. Or of believing someone that was at the pentagon as part of the recovery effort that states he saw bodies in seats?

Does it not strike you as infantile to cling onto your notion that there were no seats because you have not seen them?

Members of Congress have been shuttled to the site to inspect the damage. Rep. Judy Biggert (R-Ill.) made the trip on Thursday. She saw remnants of the airplane.

"There was a seat from a plane, there was part of the tail and then there was a part of green metal, I could not tell what it was, a part of the outside of the plane," she said. "It smelled like it was still burning." Chicago Sun-Times September 16, 2001 Sunday


The body of a flight attendant, her hands bound, was recovered, the New York Times reported yesterday. A worker told the newspaper that he had found the remains of people strapped to what appeared to be airplane seats. The Boston Globe September 16, 2001, Sunday ,THIRD EDITION


One rescuer found the body of a flight attendant, her hands bound. Another worker told the paper he had found the remains of people strapped to what seemed to be airplane seats. The Post and Courier (Charleston, SC) September 16, 2001 Sunday, SUNDAY EDITION

What are not happy until someone provides pictures of bodies strapped to airplane seats? You're a fricken ghoul.

67. Got links?
1) Do you have a link for those quotes?

2) Where did I request to see photos of bodies strapped to chairs?

If you had been paying attention, you would know that the plane seats
outnumbered the passengers 4 to 1, since Flight 77 was only 1/4 full.
So there should have been empty plane seats strewn everywhere
at the crash site, and yet not a single one can be seen in any photo.

The OCT has no problem releasing photos of dead bodies of unknown origin, but
when asked about all those 200+ missing airplane seats (which were far more numerous)
they refuse to respond.

They were exhibits at the Moussaoui trial. Just because you didn't lookm for something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. In fact, that's the problem with almost all of the "truther" claims. They have failed to do basic primary research and just believe what some goofy website tells them.

I'm still waiting for your "evidence" that the plane flew OVER the Pentagon and landed in the lagoon!!!!

You remember - the 20' deep lagoon that would hide a 44' tall tail?

What happened to THAT red herring? Or perhaps you have changed your mind and the aircraft NOW ended up landing in the north parking and hid behind a kiosk there.
