Neighbors said they heard a loud noise that sounded like a car crash at about 9:15 a.m. and soon saw flames coming from house.


It is a 40 to 45 minute drive to Georgetown from Stacks house, the plane hit the building at 9:55 am

so to be accurate here the house was set on fire perhaps while he was in route to the Georgetown airport and not while the plane was in the air. I suppose that he used a timing device of some kind, however the Austin Police deny this at this time. Who knows

Also possible that he started the fire earlier and the crash sound was something in the house exploding, leading neighbors to finally notice a larger fire

So, what was username before you were banned before?

That could be true, the explosion that was heard might have been after a smaller fire.

The main thing that struck me about this was that at 12:45 pm on the same day his website info was already out, now that was quite fast. Not impossible but it did strike me a unusually fast.

CNN: 1:47 p.m.: A message on a Web site registered to Stack appears to be a suicide note: “If you’re reading this, you’re no doubt asking yourself, ‘Why did this have to happen?’
That would be 1:47 pm eastern time

Oh and by the way I have never posted here before yesterday

So it is your take that anyone that you disagree with should be banned, now that is not very nice is it.

I just find it a tad hard to believe that someone would join a computer/tech focused forum for the sole purpose of posting some crazy conspiracy theory in an ongoing off-topic thread.

It's far more likely you've either been banned in the past, or post under a different username still.

nope, never been here before

I will say that this forum is quite well known for being very closed minded about anything different than what the mainstream media spews out. I heard about it from several sources, and what I was in disbelief until I posted here. I was lurking for a while but when a story was posted that I had direct knowledge of I decided to chime in.

It is a sad day when many people only believe what they are told to believe and have lost the ability to think for themselves.

With that said, I still say that this entire episode does seem at the very least quite strange. Perhaps the inconsistencies can and will be explained is such a way that make perfect sense to me at some point in the future, but I reserve the right to question what I am being told as some others are as well so far.

It looks like he set off a bomb remotely while on the way to the airport

First off, this is the first time I came back into my thread since my attempt at a humorous post about the pilot wearing a tin foil hat apparently sent you off the wall.

In reading your replies, I find nothing conclusive, nor even enough hard evidence, to indicate any kind of conspiracy.
I am a person who constantly criticizes the use of "blogs" as legitimate sources for posts.
I am also a person who DOES believe in some governmental conspiracies.

If you want to prove your point, or convince people on your belief there is a conspiracy around this plane crash, I would suggest using news sources instead of blogs, and using news sources with some credibility.

As to your figuring out it was a conspiracy literally within hours using blog sources, well, I believe you've earned the criticisms here.

Remember. Internet forums are no place for the timid or overly sensitive.

I first posted on this thread because I saw the Firecrew and Hazmat team cross over I183 From a Restaurant I was in, first hand, I consider my first had experience better than most "blogs"

I would never try to convince anyone on this forum of anything, I can see that around here, if it is not on TV it is not real probably applies to 99.9% of the posts I have read on this forum over the past few days.

As to your figuring out it was a conspiracy literally within hours using blog sources, well, I believe you've earned the criticisms here.

I never stated I figured out it was a conspiracy, much less with in hours, I said it does not meet the smell test, that some things really do not add up.

Remember. Internet forums are no place for the timid or overly sensitive.

Ok Techs, not to take this thread away from the OP too much, which government conspiracies to you think are plausible? Gulf of Tonkin being staged, CIA installing the Sha of Iran, well those you can read about on the CIAs own website. Just wondering

Doubt it, it is possible you use the Tee Vee to understand your very complex understanding of the world.

With no reply I understand that your statement could be false.

If not, move along, nothing to see here, Hey the food channel has a great program on.. right now, do not miss it.

Then there is Anthony Bordaine, (travel ch) (sp) sorry, his stuff is great.

Spending 2 years in Ukraine and in England his is a very good show.
