Originally posted by diamondD Why do you keep ignoring my statement about knowing someone who was there and how they wouldn't lie to protect someone who almost killed them?
Because you can't dispute it with spin?
There's a number of possibilities there....
First, there's the nature of what the building is. Unless your contact's name is Rummy, and I'm assuming it isn't, then he's taking orders from somebody. Or several somebodies. And he could be under orders not to say anything that variates from the "official story".
Second, is that possibility that the man actually believed it was a plane when it hit. A cruise missile moving at a high rate of speed, wouldn't look that different from an airplane at a high rate of speed, and admittedly, you wouldn't be expecting either one to be coming directly into the ground floor of the Pentagon. Nor would you be expecting a cruise missile at all, given the fact that there was no war in progress at the time.
Third is that the guy is in on the plan and is deliberately lying. You know the man and I don't, so you can discard that possibility if it doesn't fit what you know about him.

I'd guess the second scenario myself.
I choose to discard all 3 of your scenarios and take the word of someone who was there. Did you look at GS's link?
Originally posted by BigBadBrian Wreckage from the site GS posted. I've been there numerous times. They do a decent job of debunking whackos like FORD.
No, they refuse to believe anything that contradicts them and, at the same time, grasp onto anything, regardless of how stupid it might be, to bolster their arguments.
Piss poor forgeries faxed from a Texas Kinkos in the middle of the night are gospel truth.
However...
56 dead people and their families, pieces of aircraft-grade aluminum, vestages of a file hot enough to melt industrial steel and two identical occurences happening in front of thousands of witnesses and, later, millions of TV viewers are to be ignored, discredited or explained away somehow.
