All I know is that the story posted above by the pilots does not match what is said in the 9/11 Commission report about that day, and the supposedly call that I saw on television last week sounds fake. I haven't seen the others, nor have I heard the black box recording, but I have no doubt it backs up whatever story the government is telling.
As for why they would make it up, do you have any idea how outraged people would have been at a passenger plane being shot down on Cheney's authority? It would have killed the whole "let's hold hands and sing Kumbaya" vibe. On Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 9:31 PM, PT <[email protected]> wrote: > > The 5 or so interviews I saw were all believable enough.
