Courtesy of the US Government
Edited on Wed May-17-06 12:14 AM by simonm
Our US government has the most advanced military in the world and they can't even get a decent photo/video of a 757 crashing into its headquarters. I don't care if there was or wasn't a plane. We look like f**kin morons if we can't do better than this.













Bottom line; our government failed us on and after 9/11.

1. Considering how inept the government is, it's amazing that any
video exists at all. That plane was moving at 500 mph or something, hard to capture with a cheap video surveillance camera.

2. Exactly
I don't understand why this simple concept is so hard to understand. There is a big difference between surveillance cameras and what ABC uses to air Monday Night Football.

People are expecting super slo-mo high-res? It's absurd.

4. So, are you telling us that Flight 77 managed to crash into the....
...Pentagon without being picked up on ANY of the frames of the security video? You're telling us that Flight 77 managed to traverse the area in front of the Pentagon, strike the Pentagon, and expolde without being seen at all?

Wow. Do they have stealth airliners now?

I'm sorry, the plane was moving fast, but it wasn't moving THAT fast.

5. it's about 660 ft/sec, so it's a not that hard to believe that you

wouldn't make out very much. It moved the length of a football field in 1/2 sec. I don't know what the resolution of that camera & recorder was, but it seems it would be a demanding event to try and capture.

"The Air Force spokesman confirmed that after alerts and requests for intercepts of the aircraft were received from FAA/ATC, orders from the HIGHEST LEVEL of the federal government demanded that the Air Force stand down and NOT follow through with established scramble/ intercept procedures until further notice."

10. Unattributed
An unattributed "summary" from a wiki-type site. Yeah, that's real convincing. Where is the actual sourceable quote from the Air Force spokesman? Call me crazy, but I like to summarize for myself.

11. do your research
"There is, moreover, ear-witness testimony for this suspicion. An upper management official at LAX, who needs to remain anonymous, has told me that he overheard members of LAX Security--including officers from the FBI and LAPD---interacting on their walkie-talkies shortly after the attacks. In some cases, he could hear both sides of the conversation. At first, the LAX officials were told that the airplanes that attacked World Trade Center and the Pentagon had not been intercepted because the FAA had not notified NORAD about the hijackings. But later, he reports, they were told that NORAD had been notified but did not respond because it had been "ordered to stand down." When LAX security officials asked who had issued that order, they were told that it had come "from the highest level of the White House.""

12. Hahaha, thanks for the laugh.
All you've got are anonymous, unattributed, unsourceable "quotes".

13. 3 sources, dismiss them all if you like.
Would you like me to read the articles for you and gather the names & phone numbers of everyone involved? How about a hot cup of coffee? :eyes:

3. But...no one could have predicted this would happen!
(And if you believe that I've got some prime property in NOLA I'd like to sell you...)
