NO SIGNS OF ENGINE FAILURE!

FOX News

[X-Servative]

At the NTSB press conference, they just stated that both engines appear to be intact and that there are no signs of engine failure, according to George Black, NTSB Boardmember.

Not, apparently, if you have the magic decoder ring to separate their lies from the "snippits of truth" they leaven their lies with. It's quite an art.

Planes dont fall apart in mid-air..

Here's one that did (a B-52) (link):

- 187 crashed 1/24/61 near Goldsboro, NC, fatigue failure of starboard wing after fuel leak at high altitude, wing failed when flaps selected during emergency approach to Seymour Johnson AFB, two nuclear weapons separated from the aircraft, one fell by parachute, and the other broke apart on impact

Fly Boeing OR Lockheed ...

Stuff's built to last!

Me-Too!!

[maestro]

Isn't this particular airplane MADE in France?? (Muslim labor?) (Pre-loaded exploding bolts etc.?)
How about 'something' added with/in the fuel tank while/before total fueling??
Remote electronic switches do 'interesting' things?!
IMHO,.....just my 2 cents.

I wish they'd use mph.

1 knot=1.15 mph

Some things can't be denied...like two intact engines?

Three things that are normally screwed on real tight: tail and two engines, ALL FALL OFF. No evidence of the supposed violent-enough (and it would still have to be the worst-ever) engine explosion. Whatever it was it is wierder than we thought. Is Logan or JFK that sloppy about security that a plane could be so comprehensively sabotaged?

The one thing that makes me hopeful is that the people looking at this are sharp enough to force the investigation to look at the facts. I hope someone is keeping a list of the propaganda-mongers who said "classic engine failure" etc.

It wasn't a terrorist attack. The Taliban have been defeated.

Re: gradient letters by classy:

When I have time I want to play with it. You can do it if you have a color chart. You have to have a color change html code for each letter (look at her code) and substitute your own color codes. Once you see that, you "sandwich" each letter of your reply in between color code html tags. Make sure you get them all nested and closed properly and you should be in business.

There are html color charts on the web and I have one somewhere myself but don't want to take the time to mess with it right now.

You can also work up some color code changes in a graphics program like psp or photoshop and then substitute them into classy's code.

post up top on this thread said they said there was no signs of bird ingestion into the engine....I agree with the rest of what you said though.....BIG problem....

[EggsAckley]

Give it a rest, pal.
You're embarrassing yourself.

[Jennifer in Florida]

In this case, though, it seems it was not turbulence they hit, but that they WERE hit by something that caused the plane to shudder and then completely lose its tail...cleanly. If this was an accident, the sun will not rise tomorrow.

Hmmmm... Well, if it is terrorism, why cover it up anyway? Why hide this? What's the point? Terrorism or accident, the fact is we still have 260 people dead.

[Beenliedto]

You know, sometimes I wonder... There's an ex-NTSB investigator on Fox News now who is saying the aircraft was traveling at 260 knots... if so, he was breaking the sppe limit.... which is 250 knots below 10,000 feet... whom shall we beleive??

[MagnumPi]

Newly registered lurker and my first post so go easy on me.... Am I the only one who wants to know exactly who serviced and had access on the ground crew to that plane/engine on 11-11 and was the flight that crashed the first time it had been in the air since the ground crew worked on it ? I know I am paranoid but I suspected sabatoge on the ground from the first time I heard yesterday it had been serviced day before.

[crystalk]

It is when you hear your tail come loose and fall off, after using Muhammad's discount repair service one too many times.

[history_matters]

Why hide it? The Bush government wants a quiet Ramadan.

[John H K]

Planes crash for other mechanical reasons besides engines, you know.

Anyway, my point is, the tinfoil community can't spend years continuously portraying the NTSB as the worthless world headquarters of constant lies and deceit and conpsiracy and then proudly trumpet something the NTSB says as proof of whatever theory or position they have..it's hypocritical and intellectually bankrupt.

[The Black Knight]

I cannot BELIEVE that you just quoted the Beastie Boys here. Hehehe.

Funny no appearance of the Free Republic "All you people with the terror theories are kooks!" patrol yet.

They're the same ones who tell you to get the tin foil out every time you make the REASONABLE assumption that terrorists are going to perform terrorist attacks. They were out in full force with their stupid chicken little graphics and denigrating comments about anthrax until postal workers started dying. Now that it appears that there will be no easy explanation for this crash they'll keep low until the next terrorist attack. At which time they'll once again take upon themselves to tell us all how stupid and hysterical we are while they make their silly and assinine jokes. It's like some of them are paid by the gov't to push the party line.
