They're just shady about how the plane went down in Pittsburgh on CNN

BUT

I heard that they realized the plane was hijacked and F16s had no choice to shoot it down because it was heading for nuclear facility in Pittsburgh..

So we had to kill our own lives of 50 passengers to prevent the distaster that could've been more distastrous

is this confirmed? isn't this true? please provide me some official links..

These brave men and women are the ones that are sacrificing themselves for their country, not the cowardly terrorists.

all tv stations seem to be sticking with "it was headed to camp davis". and NO ONE has confirmed or even mentioned recently that it was shot down

yeah, well it makes sense, the gov probably doesn't want to take the heat off the terrorists by saying that the USAF had to do the unthinkable to our own people. It's interesting if they have this much control over the media, the media won't even mention the possibility

The Media still wants to give the american people what they want to hear.. It's not that americans shot down a plane full of americans... If it is the case than I Would support the decision to do so...

I seriously doubt it was shot down. There were eye witnesses on the ground of the crash. I think they would have mentioned seeing Military fighters in the area if they were there.

My theory is that the crew and/or passengers attempted to take the plane back. Apparently the terroists were only armed with knives.

But that is my theory.

The plane was ditched by the pilot. 2 F-16s where in route to take the plane down but it crashed before they got there. The plane had turned toward WDC and was told that if its coarse did not change it would be shot down.... AGAIN, this is from a VERY viable source IT WAS NOT SHOT DOWN!!!!

Its been denied. I've seen several people interviewed that said it just crashed and seemed fine when it did it. No need to spread more rumors.

Just read this message board!! Holy crap, I've read where a reporter saw this plane get shot down and was stopped from saying it by a co-worker (he just happened to be sitting out in a field at the time I guess ) I've read where there "must have been" people who either planted bombs in the buildings or ran into the buildings and blew them up in the confusion (yea...yea right) *rolls eyes*

Jeez people...
