<< He actually saw the faces of the people in the windows of the plane.
lol lol lol.... ten times lol...

Can anybody here actually believe that one can see ppl' faces from that distance?

Um, you're not too bright, are you? Not only are you being disrespectful towards the people who died, but you're not using what little common sense you were born with. The whole POINT is that the plane was flying LOW TO THE GROUND. You can damn well see people's faces in an airplane if they're 50-100 feet off the ground. Don't be an a$$.

The plane flew right over Washington Blvd, a fairly major route from the maze of parkways around Arlington National Cemetery to 395. It would have been low, and it would have been flying pretty much on top of vehicle traffic. It's entirely possible.

And for anybody who is actually dumb enough to buy into this crap, I also know people who watched the plane hit, and people who heard and felt the plane hit. I was fortunate enough to not see it, but I did see the smoke from a few miles away about 5-10 minutes after it happened. It happened.

Aluminum burns away completely, hence the Navy considers any shipboard fire a serious matter. Warship builders once toyed with aluminum superstructures but an accident (I can't remember what exact date it happened) made it apparent that its not wise to do this. I think it was a Type 21 destroyer (English design) that had a fire in its own kitchen that reversed this trend.

<< What would anyone possibly have to gain from lying about this? >>



Exactly what I was thinking.
