Flight 93 'was shot down' claims book
The Daily Mail ^ | August 19, 2006 | ROWLAND MORGAN

Evidence suggests a sinister twist

The flames set nearby woods on fire as the impact sprayed body parts and other debris into the trees and up into the sky, to float to earth as far as eight miles away.

This, then, is the legend of United Airways Flight 93, one that has been vigorously promoted in a stream of books and films, most recently in the £9.6 million Hollywood movie United 93. It is the story of how 33 innocent passengers and seven crew gave their lives to save countless others as their plane flew kamikaze-style towards the White House or the Capitol in Washington.

To a nation still reeling from the attacks on New York’s World Trade Centre and the Pentagon that same September morning, these were men and women every bit as heroic as those who had fought at the Alamo.

Yet my own exhaustive investigations have led me to conclude that the story of Flight 93 is far from being the straightforward account of supreme courage that the authorities would have us believe.

Instead, the real story is mired in cynical manipulation and warmongering propaganda. I am convinced there is evidence to suggest a wholly sinister twist to the tale that already holds pride of place in American folklore. For I believe that Flight 93 may well have been deliberately shot down as a means of stopping it from reaching its ultimate target — even at the expense of the 40 blameless people on board. It is a suspicion that was held even by the FBI, but was swept aside as a shaken America clung on to the official version of selfless sacrifice and raw patriotism.

Based on pure anti-American hatred.

some of the reader comments:

I've always thought it was, you don't get wreckage 8 miles away unless it was hit while in the sky

I've always believed Flight 93 was shot down. The real question is, "What did Bush know, and when did he know it?"

- William, Austin, Texas

More nonsense from the lunatic left. This author spends more time talking about American reactions than providing evidence to advance his argument. He doesn't even name his socalled experts. I suggest he spend some time in front of the telly watching Air Crash Investigation and Seconds from Disaster. Aircraft engines and control surfaces will shear off as a result of steep fast dives.

Not yet. People need to realize that this is always a possibility if their plane is hijacked though. If they can't take the bad guys out, and the plane is being used as a bomb, the terrorists may force our military to act..... I was noticing the other day that a passenger was a little concerned about the behavior of the carpet wetter but when he saw the fighter planes outside his window he was scared. He knew....

I almost wish it had been. It would show that our government was in a lot more control that day that it was. We were attacked and chaos ensued. No one knew what to do.

People who believe these kinds of conspiracy are incapable of understanding that "no one is in control" of life at all times. That life is messy, unpredictable, ugly, mean and random.

To be successful, you accept that, show gratitude for the things that go well and make the best of it. You don't sit around looking for monsters.

I don't think it was shot down at all. But I believe that if it hadn't crashed it damn sure would've been, and SHOULD have been.

The souls on that flight had their fate sealed before they knew it. No one was leaving that plane alive. They took their best shot, it didn't help them much, but it saved others. The same result would come from a shoot-down, I can live with either.

There is nothing quite so modern as the need to publicly indulge one's petty prejudices. To do so in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary is a triumph of emotionalism, and a denigration of reason. To do so as a means of making money is merely detestable.

His 'evidence' (from the article). The last one explains why idiots like him wearing tin foil hats would come to this conclusion...

Why did the engines go missing?

Twelve eyewitnesses state seeing another jet nearby.

The military’s role in 9/11 is a mystery

The FBI was in charge of the investigation

Mrs Beamer only learned of her husband’s final call four days later

‘Let’s roll!’ became the war on terror’s recruitment slogan.

I believe in the Patriotic Heroes of Flight 93. I can never find a way to convince those of you who don't believe in the "Let's Roll", mentality of Americans that Americans are able and will not only react but will come out with a status beyond those who would choose to kill. The Heroes of Flight 93 understood the choices. What does one do when one was / or is faced with Flight 93 choices?
