Pilot who shot down Flight 93 identified.
They are trying to verify this one. Intersting article.

http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/june2004/062804pilotidentified.htm



Comment: Col. Don de Grand-pre first broke the story of the Happy Hooligans and the shootdown of Flight 93 during his interview on The Alex Jones Show back in February.

Alex Jones called the Colonel this morning and he confirmed that the man he spoke to who told him that he had shot down Flight 93 was Rick Gibney. The Colonel spoke to him face to face. Mr. Grand-pre was not willing to give out the name of the pilot during his interview back in February, and he did not release the name to LetsRoll911.

1. That article is so laughable its not even funny
nuff said, if 93 was shot down it wouldnt have impacted.It would have been blown to smithereens. Anyhoo, the plane rocked back and forth lost one of its engines, (it was found 8 miles from the crash site), pitched over and crashed. simple as that. Besides if i may add an editorial. IM all for the truth, but cant we have some heroes from that day?

3. We need a fighter jock to say yea or nay about whether
it would be 'blown to smithereens.'

Remember the DHL cargo plane in Iraq that got hit with a shoulder launched SAM? It set the engine on fire, but the plane landed intact.

Now would a sidewinder missle, or a sparrow missle, or an AMRAAM blow a big airline jet 'to smithereens?'

I don't know. Losing an engine eight miles from the crash site sounds more like something that would occur from a missle impact than from simply rocking back and forth. Didn't some test pilot once get in hot water by doing an aileron roll during a Boeing demo test flight?

Somebody, who knows, fill us in.

10. Depends on where it was hit
A heat seeking missile would have targeted one of the engines, and it looks like that's exactly what happened. One engine was located a mile away from the impact crater. Lighter debris had been found eight miles away and upwind.

The debris pattern has simply not been compatible with a plane going out of control and crashing in one piece.

I didn't want to believe it had been shot down, either, with the shoot down covered up. However, the debris pattern convinced me. It's obvious why it was covered up. Heroic passengers struggling for control of the aircraft and crashing it in the middle of nowhere is better copy than having the military shoot down a plane full of people.

2. Sorry, but this story has no credibility.
Alex Jones is a kook and a wingnut of the nuttiest kind. His picture is in the dictionary next to nutjob. He was one of those who was screaming about the U.N. black helicopters during the Clinton years. Tin foil hats were invented with this joker in mind.
