"United 93" - 2006

Last edited Sat Dec 31, 2011, 07:52 AM - Edit history (1)

It's playing on the Cinemax channels. It's actually on something being called OMAX right this minute.

I'm going to check that it's on their On Demand after the movie is over.

ETA: OMAX turns out to mean Outer Max, and no, the movie wasn't on their On Demand list. But it will be running a couple of more times in the next few days.

The conspiracy planted a kerchief in order to frame 20, 19 of them dead, presumably innocent people.

But now we're being told that the presence of a kerchief is cause for doubting the story presumably based on the presence of a kerchief. In other words, the proof is a refutation of itself. That seems sort of tail-chasing.

Planting involves placing an object at the scene, then pretending to "find" it and then bagging it.

The red bandana is photographed in a sealed bag against a white background indoors somewhere. Looks like they just brought it in to stage it for the photo shoot.

Would PERFECTLY explain its pristine condition. No knicks, cuts, tears, rips, fraying, burns, soiling, or blood stains. All the things you would expect if it came from a plane that had nose-dive crashed going almost 600 mph into the ground, exploding and disintegration into "mostly small pieces."

(1) Why bother to plant or stage a red bandana at all?

Please link to the report that 4 skulls in red bandanas were recovered at Flight 93's crash site.
Take your time...

http://www.miamiherald.com/2002/09/08/2397001_p2/on-hallowed-ground.html
"But this is where they are. And this is where they will stay.

No bodies were recovered here, at least not as we normally think of bodies. In the cataclysmic violence of the crash, the people on Flight 93 literally disintegrated. Searchers found fragments of bones, small pieces of flesh, a hand. But no bodies.

In the grisly accounting of a jetliner crash, it comes down to pounds: The people on Flight 93 weighed a total of about 7,500 pounds. Miller supervised an intensive effort to gather their remains, some flung hundreds of yards. In the end, just 600 pounds of remains were collected; of these, 250 pounds could be identified by DNA testing and returned to the families of the passengers and crew."

Mon Jan 2, 2012, 03:21 PM
Jan 2012

Can you tell me, from a scientific and/or engineering perspective, what happens when a plane is driven into the ground from a high altitude?

Do you know for sure that the cockpit or cabin does not get ripped apart prior to impact, from the shearing forces of the air going down, throwing the bandana outward, prior to impact with the ground? After all, we have no proof is was on someone's head-it could be on the cabin floor, right?

If such a thing happened, would it not be quite logical the the bandana would float downward and land on the ground?

No skulls were found and that really has nothing to do with the bandana.

"Do you know for sure that the cockpit or cabin does not get ripped apart prior to impact, from the shearing forces of the air going down, throwing the bandana outward, prior to impact with the ground?"

A skeptic site seems to be sure:

The FDR data show that the plane was intact and its systems were operating normally before impact. The plane’s roll angle corresponds to eyewitness reports:

Cabin pressure - NORMAL.
Hydraulics - NORMAL.
Cargo fire - NORMAL.
Smoke - NORMAL.
Engines - RUNNING.
Fuel pressure - NORMAL.
Engine vibration - LO.

before it crashed. The only thing wrong was human-directed, the direction it was flying and the speed it was flying there.

But the evidence also shows that one hijacker was overcome in the back of the plane, a second outside the cockpit, and the last two hijackers were in the cockpit. The bandana could have come from the two outside the cockpit, lost in the struggle, or even left in carry-on luggage if either of the cockpit hijackers never put theirs on.

Small items survive airplane crashes all the time.

and saying "Small items survive airplane crashes all the time." is a very simplistic answer. It's not so much that this red bandana that supposedly was on the plane that supposedly crashed and it survived, the bandana made it out PERFECTLY INTACT from an alleged plane crash that supposedly decimated the entire large plane and all of its reported 44 passengers.

That's were the implausibility starts skyrocketing.

Small, light items like this bandanna survive plane crashes intact all the time. If you feel it implausible, then you haven't looked at what survives plane crashes. It's very light, especially when you compare it to its surface area, even folded like this. If chance has it blown out the explosion free of the fire, then it's going to survive if it lands in a place where no fire lands.

It certainly is not implausible enough to give a lie to any of the other evidence of who hijacked and who crashed Flight 93.

Namely: How do you know that the bandana that was recovered was worn at the moment of impact?

We know very little of the circumstances in which the bandana was found, so it's rather silly to begin making any blanket statements about it, let alone starting to guess how it entered the crash situation (as in, was it worn, was it lying in a carry-on bag, was it in a bag or suitcase in the hold?).

With all the evidence for the attack on the cockpit by the passengers, whether you think it was shot down by the military or not, you think you can call their last act "so-called heroics"?

It's a concise example of how the notion of an "official story" can impede inquiry into what happened, or even what could have happened. Creative speculation? FTN.

A couple of ways to take that statement, antitsa.

1. It didn't crash: the government shot it down.

2. It didn't crash: the site was faked and Flight 93 was flown someplace else where the passengers were disposed of.

Which one are you talking about? If you don't see your option there, please let us in on the details.

Here is one of spooked911's versions.


http://flight93hoax.blogspot.com/2008/02/whered-fuselage-go.html

Even if we assume the whole plane both blew up into tiny pieces or burrowed into the ground (as the official story holds), the fuselage would have had to have make some sort of crater in the ground where it hit. But there is nothing there where the fuselage should have hit.

This crater is bogus.


I guess They just forgot to dig a hole for the fuselage?

Part of another version by a different writer:


http://larrysownblog.wordpress.com/2011/02/28/flight-93-hoax/
...However, if the plane was in fact right-side up as it impacted, why a) is the government lying about it, and b) what made the “tail” scar on the northern edge of the crater???

I don’t know exactly what happened at this crash scene.

I strongly suspect the crater was made artificially, to make it LOOK as though an airplane crashed there, and then plane debris was strewn around the site. Perhaps a bomb or projectile of some sort was used to create the damage.

In any case, the important point is that: THE OFFICIAL FLIGHT 93 CRASH STORY IS A LIE, BEYOND ANY REASONABLE DOUBT.


Why did They go to such lengths to make an obviously fake crater? I guess this guy Larry isn't in the explaining business.

I don't agree at all with the heinous plots of The Birth of a Nation or Triumph of the Will, but that doesn't mean those two pictures don't have artistic merit.

Taken as a movie, United 93 is a very potent examination of how people compartmentalize information, how systems and people can be rendered useless without enough information, and how on gaining enough correct information, most people will act. This need of people to smear every single part of something they don't agree with is just pathetic.

Thu Jan 12, 2012, 08:29 PM
Jan 2012
From approximately 10:00 to 10:02 there were four distinct control column
inputs that caused the airplane to pitch nose-up (climb) and nose-down (dive)
aggressively. During this time the airplane climbed to about 10,000 feet while
turning to the right. The airplane then pitched nose-down and rolled to the right
in response to flight control inputs, and impacted the ground at about 490 knots
(563 mph) in a 40 degree nose-down, inverted attitude. The time of impact was
10:03:11.
