DEVELOPING ON DRUDGE: MYSTERY OBJECT CAUGHT ON TAPE MOMENTS AFTER SECOND TOWER HIT
http://www.drudgereport.com/ ^

Posted on 09/16/2001 4:45:57 PM PDT by SamAdams76

I normally hate these "nothing follows" type posts. But this headline (which will soon link to a story) intrigues me. For I too remember seeing a strange object hurtling towards the ground just after the second plane it. At the time, I didn't think anything of it. I thought it might be a defect in the film or something.

He will probably leave it that way until his radio show airs.

The second plane went through the tower....you could see it on the slo-mos..the nose went throught the tower before the explosion...It might have been the radar dome that covers the nose of the plane...

I saw it also. I just thought it was either part of the plane or something knocked out. What is the implied significance?

It was one of the engines. Somewhere on some news I had heard they found one in that direction about 30 or so blocks from the building?

My guess is that it was the cockpit of the plane. Didn't FoxNews report that they found a body of non-uniformed pilot (terrorist) and a stewardess in the cockpit on top of the Marriot (near the WTC)? I believe the cockpit may have detached from the fuselage (sp?) and came out the other side of the building. Just a theory.

One of the tires, with a portion of the landing gear, also flew free.

Drudge always seems to super-hype the web site before his Sunday night Radio show...

I think you could also see people falling among the debris if you look closely. They fell faster.

Well FoxNews is reporting that the passport of one of the hijackers was found near the WTC site. Maybe it was the cockpit that we saw on tape. If so, there might be some good evidence contained within.

I thought it was something flying out of the building.

I thought I saw the engine in the process of falling off so that does not surprise me. I'm sure the pilot pushed the stick forward for full thrust and maximum impact just prior to impact.

The second plane went through the tower....

You could see the flames shooting out behind it.

In my opinion, all the people in the stories that took a direct hit and above died, while 99.9% of those in the floors below escaped, because they had 90 minutes to do so before the collapse.

Just about all the people killed in the collapse itself would have been the selfless firemen who were going up while everyone else was going down.

The people who took the direct hit were turned to hamburger instantly. It's the people in the floors above them who faced the real horror - they had to decide whether to be burned alive or leap to their deaths.

Incomprehensible.

there was some kind of glowing onject heading upwards after the plane hit. a ball of light. I imagine it'll turn out to be something from the cargo hold that blew.

What is the point of Drudge's banner headline?

Well, a plane hit a building. I would think that there are quite a few "mystery" objects on the tape.

I don't think so. The photo I have seen just before impact shows the wings deflected way up as if it were pulling about 3 or 4 G's. That's a pull up, not a push over.

DEVELOPING ON DRUDGE: MYSTERY OBJECT CAUGHT ON TAPE MOMENTS AFTER SECOND TOWER HIT

I think the key words here.. are MOMENTS AFTER

Not seconds... but moments.
