I mean, take a look at cars - they too use fuel and a burning/blown up car doesn't just go *poof*. Granted, this is a much larger car moving a lot faster, but still. 2) I would think the lawn, as pointed out in those photographs, would be in a lot worse shape if the plane did indeed shatter into tiny burning fragments - that's a lot of fuel to burn. Just my thoughts. No need to bash *cough* GagHalfrunt *cough* ignorance *cough*.

EDIT: and what about the other engine?

In general, I'm not an conspiracy paranoid type but I certainly don't believe half the stuff I see in the news, at least not to their fullest extent.

1) You obviously don't know much about metal, fire, fuel and airplanes. You probably shouldn't base opinions on ignorance.

2) The plane didn't explode on the lawn.

Douse a car with fuel and watch it burn. A 100,000 pound airplane will typically carry 45,000 pounds of fuel. I would say the airplane that crashed probably at most had used 7,000 pounds from the point of takeoff. (thats roughly 6 pounds per gallon). I was using a 727 by comparison and a 767 or 757 for that matter is larger than a 727. Secondly run that car into a wall at 500 mph and see how small it gets.

I love how that video has the section saying planes leave wreckage. Then proceeds to show two or three crashes with large wreckage.
Then proceeds to say crashes leave marks, and shows a crash with marks yets has very minimal wreckage.

a lot of that information is old news, but it raises some very interesting new ones, to me at least. I never saw photos of the hole in the Penatgon walls, and I agree that they are incredibly small. But I wasn't there, and I don't have the full info, so I can't make an opinion one way or the other. Plus, I generally don't buy into the paranoia conspiracy-theory stuff.

That hole was several levels in and was punched by an engine, not the fuselage. Read the freaking snopes link.

yep, I did that after I posted. When I replied, that post was not there.

A little ot off this film (eh why not we're in ot), do you believe we're really told what happens the majority of the time? Let's not forget the pointless war in Iraq right now, for starters.

Just because you choose to believe it is pointless does not make it so.

How many people does it take?
