Why Flight 93?

What are you basing that from, with regard to the engine part and location?
After showing the picture to my father (retired GE jet engines engineer, Riverworks, Lynn) ,the disks shown are compressor the spacing of the vanes gets smaller the deeper into the core you go.

DA:
I have a question for you. What was the position of the passenger tray tables? Up or down.:D
 
Saying an engine should rest in the same position it entered the hole is NOT a real world event.

How many engines have you seen hit the ground at 500mph and stayed in the exact same position as they did hitting the ground?

Things provide resistance which change the path and direction of the parts. Things like the GROUND, the rest of the plane, other debris, expanding gases. There are literally millions of variables.

But the thing is this is basic common sense, not asking questions.

So again, please show us all the plane crashes you have watched where the engines all ended up pointing in the exact direction they impacted. And this is far from impossible since it's going to be random.

No, see I am talking about this plane, not any others. And if you're so sure, rather than pawn off any search upon me, so why don't you prove that it has happened before? You're the one talking about logical it is that it would happen, almost as if it is a common occurrence.
Show me how common it is.
 
Has anyone seen the flight 93 animation on youtube? There is a link for it at 9/11myths.com. I believe it was put up by a member of this forum, but I'm not sure. It may help out on the debate.

This thread is ridiculously stupid. The Conspiracy Theorists are at it again. Let's see what the facts are thus far:

1. A claim that an engine part, which the claimant themselves acknowledges they cannot identity, is orientated upside down in the hole and therefore...? Well... I don't know what. The plane crashed backwards?

2. A claim that a large patch of forest was set alight by... someone... after fire personnel arrived at the scene. The claimant ignores glaring errors in their theory - such as images clearly showing extensive burn damage and errors in their own placement of a camera shot that allegedly shows the "undamaged" forest.

3. A claim that the smoke plume in the only known UA93 immediate post-impact photograph is the "wrong colour", and a claim that all other crash photographs are a different colour. When presented with demonstrations that smoke colour can vary in photographs, a demand is made that photographs must be produced of immediate post-impact high speed airline crashes. This ignores the point of the previous images, as well as the fact that many immediate post-impact images from the crash of UA175 have been provided.

4. A claim that the wings are "on the wrong side of the crater" a claim that shows an unfathomably weak understanding of aircraft aerodynamics and high speed collision dynamics.

5. A vague generic claim that UA93 was shot down, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Have I about covered it? Any reason for us to waste any more time here?

I guess the engine from a plane crash is not a real world event then?
Remind me where I tried to explain how the engine was buried upside down again. Oh yeah, I didn't!
What engine was buried upside down?


Which engine was it that ended up a half mile away? Was it part of the one that was in the crater, or the one that was not?
Thar he blows! No engine. You're imagining that such an event occurred. And why do you assume that only one part of one engine was in the crater? Please explain on what sturdy foundation you build that case.


All the above amounted to nothing. What rational reason has been given to explain the engine flipping over under ground? I have not seen one.
Still can't think of a rational reason that an engine part from flight 93 appears as it does in one photo? It may help you to consider where the rest of the engine is.


We are talking about one part of evidence here, not a chain of events. And, saying you are being logical is false.
Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania on 9/11/01: yes, no, or unsure? Please answer this simple question.
 
What engine was buried upside down?
lol...you yourself said it appeared to be upside down.


Thar he blows! No engine. You're imagining that such an event occurred. And why do you assume that only one part of one engine was in the crater? Please explain on what sturdy foundation you build that case.
The photo that showed the engine part in it? Quit trying to twist stuff. If the engine part was upside down, then that means it had to turn over somehow in the ground, correct?

Still can't think of a rational reason that an engine part from flight 93 appears as it does in one photo? It may help you to consider where the rest of the engine is.
You tell me, Gravy. Where is the rest of the engine? Show me a photo of more of that engine. Not the one that 'bounced' a half mile away.


Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania on 9/11/01: yes, no, or unsure? Please answer this simple question.
A car crashed into a truck on 75 north on 7/10/98, yes, no, or unsure?
Don't waste time with pointless irrelevant questions.

Show me how common it is.

We're ALL talking about this plane. Hello?

You're questioning basic physics. And you keep referring to other plane incidents in many of your posts. Yet when it comes to one where those other incidents would CLEARLY answer your very own questions, you REFUSE to do so.

Gosh it's so funny how when it comes to finding rational answers, you have no interest what so ever. But when it comes to findings irrational ones, you'll do as much work as it takes. If looking at other plane crashes helps you think there is something suspicious about this one, no problem, you'll go look. But if doing so means finding there isn't something suspicious, you think others should go do that work.

Yes, clearly you're just looking for answers. Why would anyone want to look at other plane crashes when trying to find the physics involved? Clearly you have no interest in that.

Show you how common it is? I tried to, but you just said you aren't interested. Not surprising.
 
I agre with Gum, this has to be the most absurd an stupid thread of all time. I think we're all getting stupider just reading it. It's like watching a bunch of monkeys trying to hump a door knob (not implying anyone here is a monkey).

I think I am done, there is really nothing to discuss, and I am at fault for troll feeding.

And your point for posting is? Can you ID it? I love how you think it's OK to ignore evidence.

You did not even see a break in the tree line and it's plain as day. But you're an expert and video analysis! Or not. Obviously not.

Yeah, into a building where other sources of smoke are burning. Which I stated could be a brightness/contrast issue with a camera regarding the flight 93 puff of smoke.
Have you shown ANY aircraft impacts with the ground that did not have black smoke as a result? No. So do it, or drop it. Only one person tried to show one of a plane hitting the ground. It was obviously edited. I wonder why it had to be edited? You provide nothing.

4. A claim that the wings are "on the wrong side of the crater" a claim that shows an unfathomably weak understanding of aircraft aerodynamics and high speed collision dynamics.
And you do? Please enlighten us all with your 'knowledge'.

5. A vague generic claim that UA93 was shot down, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Who said it was shot down? Not me. I said I thought about the possibility of a shoot down, but that does not mean I believe it was. Yes, examining other possibilities....that is what people that think will do. Did any of the witnesses say they thought it was shot down?
On the CVR, what is the "sound of loud air noise" that keeps popping up? It starts at 8,100 feet. What is it, Gumboot? It starts at 10:02:42 EDT.
Tell us, perhaps you can add CVR interpretation expert to your crash scene investigation and expert video analysis credentials.
Didn't someone call from the plane and say they heard an explosion, and then reported seeing smoke?
The point is, no matter what you choose to believe, you have to disregard things. How do you choose what to disregard?

Have I about covered it? Any reason for us to waste any more time here?
Us? Speak for yourself. Why you trying to direct 'the team' away?

I would call you an idiot, but then I would be reported again....

I am speaking of part of the engine, which I call..."part of the engine," not "the engine."


The photo that showed the engine part in it? Quit trying to twist stuff. If the engine part was upside down, then that means it had to turn over somehow in the ground, correct?
Incorrect. There are several other possibilities as to how the engine part came to be as it appears in the photo. I'll bet you can think of some if you try. In fact, you may only need to read...ah, I don't want to be too easy on you. You're not going to learn by me telling you. You'll need to apply your own cogitation to this eversocomplex problem.

You tell me, Gravy. Where is the rest of the engine?
Since you know so much about how that portion came to be where it is in the photo, surely you can tell me the history of the rest of the engine.

Show me a photo of more of that engine.
If I had a photo of another part of that engine, what would you learn from it?

Not the one that 'bounced' a half mile away.
You continue to repeat this falsehood. Why do you invent this nonsense? How does it benefit you? Does indulging in fantasy distract you from a reality that is difficult to face?

Don't waste time with pointless irrelevant questions.
Irrelevant? I asked you if you believe flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania. To me, questions about this subject don't get more relevant.

Devil's Advocate: do you believe flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania? Yes, no, or unsure? This is not a trick question.
 
I am speaking of part of the engine, which I call..."part of the engine," not "the engine."
Whatever, gravy. You know what I was talking about.

Let me start playing games too then.

And what is your conclusion, gravy? How did it get like that? Let me guess..."It does not matter because the plane crashed there."

Since you know so much about how that portion came to be where it is in the photo, surely you can tell me the history of the rest of the engine.
It was built and put on the plane. That is the history of the rest of the engine.

If I had a photo of another part of that engine, what would you learn from it?
That there was a picture of it.

You continue to repeat this falsehood. Why do you invent this nonsense? How does it benefit you? Does indulging in fantasy distract you from a reality that is difficult to face?
What reality? That an engine part is found somewhere else? Yes, that ruins everything. I cannot bare that another engine part was found. There was two you know? I knew they found one, but finding another just ruined me since it was the only time two were found right?
LOOK AT MY HANDS! They are shaking. Reality all ruined.

Irrelevant? I asked you if you believe flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania. To me, questions about this subject don't get more relevant.

And your point for posting is? Can you ID it? I love how you think it's OK to ignore evidence.


It's not evidence. You think it's evidence because you're looking for anomalies. Try think logically for one second. Let's assume you're right, and the engine is pointing upwards. So what? What is that proof of? That the crash site was fake? That the aircraft emerged out of the ground? Both of these suggestions are patently absurd.

You assume two things, when you claim this engine piece is evidence:

1) That the engine is pointed upside down
You lack the expertise to determine this, you lack the data to determine this, and you provide no evidence to support your contention, other than "I think".

2) That a crash as described by the official account would not result in 1)
Again, you lack the expertise to assert this, you lack the data to demonstrate this, and you provide no evidence to support your contention other than "I think."



You did not even see a break in the tree line and it's plain as day. But you're an expert and video analysis! Or not. Obviously not.


Wrong, you think it's a break in the treeline, because you don't understand what you're looking at. Trees are not uniform height, and neither is ground. What you think is a break in the treeline is nothing more than a drop in the ground, resulting in lower tree levels. You'll note that the so-called "break" does not extend to ground level. The ground falls away west of the crash site. This photographs reflects that fall-away.

You have still not addressed the fact that the terrain behind your so called break does not reflect the actual terrain behind the actual break, namely a short band of trees, followed by an open stretch of ground, followed by a pond, in which one of UA93's engines was found. The position from which the shot was taken (be it your position or mine) is much higher ground than the surrounding terrain. We should see the open ground and the pond. We do not.

You also have not addressed major problems with your positioning in terms of the camera's focal length, and in terms of the practical reality of a television news crew being allowed to wander all over a crime scene.





Yeah, into a building where other sources of smoke are burning.


Wrong. Nothing was on fire in WTC2 when UA175 hit. You have been shown images of the smoke from the initial fireball of UA175's impact. Some of those images depict smoke very much like the colour of the UA93 smoke plume.



Have you shown ANY aircraft impacts with the ground that did not have black smoke as a result? No. So do it, or drop it. Only one person tried to show one of a plane hitting the ground. It was obviously edited. I wonder why it had to be edited? You provide nothing.


Well you have demanded immediate post-impact smoke plumes from a jet fuel explosion of a high speed airliner crash into the ground. I would be surprised if any other image in existence fits the ridiculously narrowly defined conditions you have made. It's akin to Conspiracy Theorists who say "Find me a steel 110 storey skyscraper with the same structure as the WTC that has collapsed from fire". It's nonsense. The cause of the smoke plume is irrelevant. Smoke plumes have been shown to appear a wide range of colours from different vantage points and cameras. The SAME smoke plume. Thus, one cannot determine anything about the nature of a smoke plume from one image. This is incredibly straight forward. It does not require an example of a scenario that exactly reflects UA93's crash.




And you do? Please enlighten us all with your 'knowledge'.


I don't need to. I'm not the one making the claim. GregoryUrich is. It's up to him to provide the evidence. I do know enough to understand that the crater we see is certainly plausible given the crash trajectory. That is not to say that GregoryUrich's version isn't also plausible. But that's not what he's saying. He's saying only his version is plausible. That means the accepted version is wrong. That means he has to provide evidence. Simply asserting "it should be like this" is not good enough. It's not a case of explaining how it might have turned out differently. He has to explain why it cannot have happened the way the accepted account details.

He has failed to do that. Until he does that, his assertions are worthless.




Who said it was shot down? Not me. I said I thought about the possibility of a shoot down, but that does not mean I believe it was.


You have been presented with ample evidence here that demonstrates a shoot down is not a possibility. Yet you continue with your assertions, in the face of reality. That is not the sign of someone "examining other possibilities". That is the sign of someone who has made up their mind, and will not be swayed by the facts.




On the CVR, what is the "sound of loud air noise" that keeps popping up?


Since neither of us have heard the CVR (and neither of us ever will), and since the "sound of loud air noise" does not appear on the official NTSB CVR transcript, neither of us are in a position to comment on it. There are countless explanations for "sound of loud air noise". Many of them indeed do not even involve air at all.



Us? Speak for yourself. Why you trying to direct 'the team' away?


I was speaking for myself. My opinion holds no more weight than anyone else's and no one here will go "away" simply because I "directed" them too.

You've demonstrated a total disregard for the substantial evidence presented here. You argue from positions of ignorance and personal incredulity. When all else fails you insult people. I am of the opinion that those offering to assist in your "examining other explanations" are wasting their time, as you have no interest in anything except your own preconceived notions.

Did a car crashed into a truck on I-75 north on 7/10/98, yes, no, or unsure?
This is as relevant as your question, and it is not a trick.



What nonsensical garbage. We are not discussing a car and truck crash on I-75 north on 7/10/98. However we are discussing the crash of UA93 at Shanksville.

Whether you believe UA93 crashed at Shanksville or not is fundamentally relevant to the topic. Indeed some might argue it is the topic.

I'm inclined to add my voice to Gravy's. Devil's Advocate, GregoryUrich, do you believe UA93 crashed near Shanksville on Sept 11 2001? Yes or no? Questions do not get more straight forward than this.

-Gumboot
 
DA: You've come this far:

– You cannot think of any nonconspiratorial reasons why the engine portion appears as it does in the photo, despite being given such reasons in this thread.

– You continue to repeat the falsehood that a large engine part was found 1/2 mile from the crash site, despite being corrected.

– Having been given copious evidence about flight 93's crash, and links to much more evidence, you are unable to state an opinion as to whether flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania, and you deem the question – in a thread about flight 93 – "irrelevant."

Spectacular. Proud of yourself? Expected to make a more favorable impression on critical thinkers, did you?

Since I don't waste my time with trolling no-planers, goodbye.

OK gravy and gummy, let me give you an idea of why I wanted to know the direction of the plane on an overhead of the crash site photo and if that engine was upside down or not.

For crash analysis.
To get a visual picture of what it might have looked like. Then I can go over thoughts about how it could have impacted to cause the parts to come off into the woods. Then with the engine thing, that threw me off, and it was started from a picture in this thread.
Depending on how the plane hit the ground and at what direction, I could get a working visual theory.But now that I've seen the simulation, I do not need most of that anymore.

Is this not the second time you've said 'goodbye' to me?

again DA, the devils advocate, is tiring. you have the contact list of those who worked the site at Shanksville, please take your questions to them. (if you dont know who did, Gravy's website in his sig has the list)

seriously, your questions are nothing more than posturing on your part. and you are not "playing devils advocate". its apparent by your questions that you are not doing so.


guys let this thread die. he can contact those who worked on the area after the crash via Grayv's website. If he wants to play "devils advocate" let him play it with those who were there that day.
