In defense of Mr. Mertz, I heard that someone today had an interview with two eyewitnesses to our military shooting down the plane. I personally would rather believe that heroism on the plane is the reason it went down where it did.This type of story is floated every time a plane goes down. There isn’t any reliable evidence for it, but there is reliable evidence in favor of passenger/crew action. CNN is not the only outlet reporting this. You don’t even need to leave this thread to see that.
With all of the the articles and events coming out so fast and furious, we really can't be sure of anything at this point. I'm not flaming, just showing that it is possible he could be right. Propaganda is an accepted tactic in a war, right?Sure, but my problem here is not whether he is right or wrong. Its that what he pulled out of the article to justify his comment, in no way justifies his comment. The idea that people with cell phones, calling their families, may have already learned of the WTC attacks from other passengers, who also had cell phones? That seems phony? The next time you are on a business/commuter flight, wait until it lands and then look around as at least 1/3 of the people pull out cell phones and make calls (cabs, family, business associates, whatever). This passage seems like a ready excuse to post his thoughts, no more. I don't appreciate that.
