I fully admit that your theory and all the alternate theories posted on this thread by all the other aerospace engineering PhD's make at least as much sense as flying the vertical stabilizer off transcontinental jet at 240 knots over Jamaica Bay or the 50 gallons of Jet A in a 13,000 gallon tank that spontaneously exploded off Long Island.
a four engine plane can fly a long time on three engines, any fighter pilot worth his salt would put a load of 20mm through the cockpit windows and put it down right then and there!!!
And from post #40:
In point of fact, we actually failed to shoot it down before it crashed and the defense dept. got criticized for that as well.
Those are some radically different excuses. You Kool-Aide drinkers ought to at least get your stories straight!
This plane was crashed due to passenger interference with the original plan.
There is no evidence but pure speculation to suggest otherwise, and what difference does it make anyway.
Those who start with the assumption that every official story is laced with lies and propaganda need to be taking more meds.
If you don't fix that, you will hurt yourselves. You will join the ranks of the silliest conspiracy nuts on the planet, a trophy now in the possession of the Russians.
They think they know the real truth when in reality, their conspiratorial nature is being used by the government to control their behavior.
While I do not buy the official line about the center fuel tank garbage, I do not believe there is any reason to think that this particular incident happened any differently.
don't get me wrong... i have NO PROBLEM if we did take it down/were in the process of taking it down, it was be the right thing to do!!! i just don't believe it happened at the exact same time as the "Let's Roll" guys were doing their thing. Occam's(sp) Razor and all that.
