What happened to Flight 93? A summary of the evidence

[philb]

NORAD inteceptor jets can travel up to 1800 mph, 30 miles per minute.
Even at 20 miles per minute, D.C. is 5 minutes away from Langley AFB where jets were scrambled to D.C. from at 9:25 AM.
Jets from Andrews AFB in D.C. were ordered to be ready to scramble at 9:03 and were ordered scrambled at 9:40, just after the Pentagon was hit.

At 9:50 jets from both Andrews and Langley were over D.C.

Its a matter of record that Cheney confirmed his order to shoot down Flight 93 at 9:56 and was told there was an interceptor in the area.

That there was an interceptor in the area was confirmed by an FAA ATC and the Media on 9/11.

But also, clearly, any of the jets over D.C. could have easily reached Pennsyslvania before UA 93 crashed at 10:06.

At the crash site, there was debris over an 8 mile area including across a lake and across mountains. And very little sign of a normal crash at the crash site.

Several witnesses saw a military type jet in the area and some heard missiles and explosion, before the crash. Some of these had military background.

There was also a military C130 (electronic warfare plane) in the area and a private jet owned by a military contractor.

The flight recording seemed consistent with the plane being holed.

At least one military interceptor pilot said on 9/11 that the plane was shot down. Retired pilot and arms negotiator, Col Donn de Grand-Pre said the plane was shot down and he knows the pilot who did it. Several other
military related people say they are aware the plane was shot down.

Some family members who heard the black box recording think the passengers had regained control of the plane. Someone requested a new flight plan just before the plane crashed.

So what do people think happened to Flight 93?
And why haven't the many unanswered questions been answered?

1. The Book "True Lies" Adds Some Info I Didn't Know

1. There was no fire and no fuel contaminating the crash site. How
come the blazing inferno from all that jet fuel didn't set southern
PA on fire? Suggests the fuel tanks were breached in the air.

2. A guy named Fleegle reported that the lights in his building
flickered so he went outside and witnessed the crash. Fleegle claims
a retired Air Force officer told him the electromagnetic disruptions
were from elecronic countermeasures to "zap" the flight's radar. The
book reports that another source disputes this. The flickering
suggests use of an unconventional electronic pulse weapon, such as has
been hypothesized to explain the Paul Wellstone plane crash.

3. Another witness was reported by acquaintances to have been saying
he saw the plane shot down, but after a day-long interview with the
FBI he reportedly changed his story. The "True Lies" guys interviewed
him and found him blandly corroborating the official story, but
acting kind of strangely.


I'd add-- the C-130 is really strange because it passed within
spitting distance of flight 77 too, and then turns up at flight 93.
When NORAD's 1500 mph F-16's supposedly can't find any of these
planes a lumbering C-130 finds two of them.

3. Some C130s are equipped for electronic warfare- including jamming

electronic equipment that can take out a planes electronic equipment or take over the equipment if properly rigged. Which isn't that hard on 757s which come equipped for automatic flight.

4. electronic equipment can take over 757s rigged for automatic flight

I'm not sure I believe it, but look--

We've got Hani Hanjour's impossible 270 degree diving turn--and the
C-130 is in the area. And then we've got flight 93 reportedly flying
upside down and flown into the ground--and the C-130 is in the area.

2. Do we KNOW the C-130 was set up for electronic warfare?

(C-130s fly around there all of the time, they're nothing unusual)
