I'm no authority on most of the coverups. But that lame bird theory in AA587 got my attention. The coverup I studied best was another air flight: The Brown Crash. [More on that later. Time for work. FRegards....]

accept that a bunch of frickin' IDIOTS ran around spewing an UNVERIFIED RUMOR...and when the UNVERIFIED RUMOR went on to be a big blob of NOTHING, suddenly whackjobs come out of the woodwork claiming there's something dark and sinister afoot.

All rumors are unverified. That's why they are called rumors in the first place. When a rumor is verified, it is no longer a rumor, but rather, a truth.

BTW, maybe TWA Flight 800 was taken down by a flock of birds rather than a quirky fuel line as the government has told us. Repeat after me: "I believe everything the government tells me, I believe everything the government tells me..."

Colts Neck, NJ is roughly 25 miles straight line distance from JFK Airport. How high is an airliner 25 miles downrange from the departure point? My guess is it's getting higher than a shoulder-fired SAM could get to it.

then they probably didn't find any evidence of any kind of missile

Ah, but did they find evidence of birds?  =)

I'm not surprised to see which side you're on.

I understand what you are saying, but haven't taken any "sides" on the argument.  I have no more info than what was posted here, and at other places, and am not quite ready to say for sure what the real story is.  I guess some of us have become slightly "conspiratory" in our reactions to things but when you look at the lies thrust upon us by our gov't and MSM you can see why we are.

At this point we don't know the real truth (and neither do you).  I'm just keeping an open mind until more information materializes ... if it ever does.

I remember that the 'flock of birds' theory flopped in a plane crash right after 9-11, so I understand your suspicion.

Right.  That's why I have such a hard time fathoming this story.  Could be true I guess.  Reminds me of that bit from the movie " Airplane!" which goes:

Controller (on the phone): I know but this guy has no flying experience at all.  He's a menace to himself and everything else in the air ... yes  ...  birds too.

Well, at least that one didn't come from "A government aviation official who asked me not to reveal her name . . ."

True.  The scary part is that President Bush kept a straight face while declaring it a "religion of peace".

You are welcome. I wish I had the time to research those things like others, but some things should not be kept secret. If it really was birds then the government should release the transcripts and tapes .....

Fascinating. A flock of birds approximately 1 foot wide, 5 feet long, who's tailfeathers are all on fire.

If there was no video of planes hitting the twin towers, just imagine the stories the Feds would have come up with...

"Due to the substandard construction at WTC 1 and 2, the buildings spontaneously caught fire and tumbled down. The few misguided people who claim to have seen an airliner crashing into the second tower were actually viewing an addled seagull." -- Department of Transportation, September 12, 2001.

The terrorists are now training suicide pigeons! The Pigeons are taught to flock and head for the engines of US Passenger planes! The Pigeons are promised they will receive unlimited bread crumbs and statues upon which to perch in heaven in return for their sacrifice.

Remember, you heard it hear first!
