macky,
"NPR" and "official reports", (not to forget wikipedia)?
Are these the reliable sources you used to discover the 911, etc, historical misrepresentations?
Whether NPR is reliable or not, it was the first time I've used their information, but only in a minor way. That has been cross-checked by FBI site accounts etc.
Wikipedia is not always a reliable source, but it DOES have multiple citations at the bottom of the page on most subjects. Hundreds in some cases. That's an invitation for anyone to further explore the subject.
The bulk of my 9/11 research hinged on not so much asserting an alternative story of who the perpetrators may have been, but rather concentrating on disproving the US Govt Official Story using mostly US govt's own files, which I regarded as the most "official" for what really happened. You can't get much more official than that. In other words, apart from Wiki, no MSM.
The 9/11 Commission report (Chapter Seven) that dealt with the alleged pilots was also scanned and found to have serious anomalies in it, especially re the alleged "training" that Hani Hanjour (Fl77) was supposed to have completed.
As it has happened in the last 5-6 years, those files remained unchanged (except for the appearance of a "deceased" placard under the photo of Bin Laden from 2013? on) for 14 years, but almost simultaneously over at least three govt agencies (FBI, NTSB and BTS) were altered, or the link changed to send you to a more general FBI site, etc.
The only thing I used Wiki for in my 9/11 research was its general Official Story for one of the flights (77) and its statement that five sets of DNA were recovered from the site (Pentagon) and were believed to be the hijackers, and the pictures of the cropped gate cam images whose time/date stamps showed the following day.
I had a lot more in this post which I've spent two hours on, but I've somehow lost most of it. Any questions about aspects of FL77 especially, or the others I am happy to try and answer,
Continuing from last post. As I've mentioned, Wiki was used basically as the purveyor of the official story of (Flight 77) which was the main flight I investigated owing to the Official Story more easily debunked. Wiki also pointed to Jet Tech, a subsidiary of Pan Am closed down shortly after 9/11 as far as I know.
The company was a training establishment with at least one simulator that Hanjour trained in, a B737, quite a different aircraft from the B757 of F77, Hanjour allegedly flew into the Pentagon.
Among the FBI evidence presented at the Moussaoui trial, were the alleged phone call records of the four flights
www.vaed.uscourts.gov/notablecases/moussaoui/exhibits/prosecution/flights/P200055.html which when clicked on report 'cannot be found' now, another example of what I believe to be evidence-erasing as more people have fallen on the Official Story as largely bullshit, as far as the alleged perpetrators were concerned.
Among the alleged calls was Barbara Olson : One call, zero seconds, clearly refuting the emotional 9/11 Official Story that she had called her husband on the ground a few times, and spoke to him. Flight 93 calls included two that lasted over an hour after Fl93 had allegedly crashed.
I lost much of the screenshots when my last juke box quietly passed away suddenly, but still have some screenshots that I can send via email if interested. Just PM me with your address and I'm happy to send everything (which isn't much) I'm left with, with some explanations.
Also presented in court was the record of Hanjour re his SIM B737 training, which included a hand-written note at the beginning reminding the writer to call the FAA re Hanjour's presented licenses (including a commercial license for single engine prop) because of Hanjour's demonstrated inability to fly anything other than a kite).
This was further questioned in the summing up comments (also written in the file) by Hanjour's SIM flight instructor who stated that Hanjour's ability to control even basic flight was rudimentary at best, and that he needs to spend much more time in light aircraft before taking on jets. This is strange considering that a commercial pilot's license requires hundreds of hours flying time, and there is no flying log at any of Hanjour's flying schools that he completed anywhere near that much.
In addition, the Commission narrative stated in Chap 7 that Hanjour wanted to progress to multi-engine but had difficulty with English. This is a blatant fabrication because ANY training pilot right from the ground up is required to speak, understand and write English as one of the first requirements.
Carrying on in the chapter, it clearly states that Hanjour was denied a solo flight in a light aircraft just weeks before 9/11, because of the instructor's concern that Hanjour had trouble controlling a light aircraft in a previous flight with the instructor.
Yet we are asked to believe that Hanjour took over the controls of a B757 he had never even been on the flight deck of, jack up the seat that previously sat Charles Burlingame, an ex-navy fighter pilot, over six foot tall, boxer and weight trainer, whose brother said that he would never have given up his aircraft without a fight.
According to ATC, there was nothing unusual about Fl77 until it began to calmly turn off its course and proceed back towards Washington, from 300 miles out. No sudden signs of a struggle, no nothing. The transponder was turned off and on through the flight, which remained on Air Force radar for the entire flight (primary radar).
And this diminutive "pilot" whose credentials were questioned by more than one company and who couldn't control even a light aircraft, somehow flew towards Washington which was well over the horizon, ended up with the Pentagon slightly to the left from four miles out at 7000 feet altitude, and who on that clear blue-sky day would have been able to see the 29 acres of a virtual bullseye which only needed 10 degrees left rudder, and a plunge onto the roof-tops in order to do max damage to "his" target.
Nope, what did Hanjour allegedly do ? Perform a high-speed descending turn (according to NTSB flight study) that lost 5000 feet, without tearing the wings off the aircraft or driving it into the ground, then on completion of a 350 degree turn (he needed 10 degrees to the left) "advance" the throttles and roar in at 530 mph and hit the side of the Pentagon in the very place to do the least damage possible, a 100 foot high target hit smack on the bullseye without any overlap of tail-plane, while still hitting the building.
Even Dulles traffic controllers thought that the primary target on their screens was a military aircraft, the way it was being flown, the speed etc. Here's O'brien's interview. Note it's six weeks later, after O'brien would "know" it was Fl77.
abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=123822&page=1In fact, there is no evidence that Hanjour was even on the flight. Gate cam videos released by the authorities contradict each other showing "Hanjour" with a light shirt in one, a dark shirt on a much bulkier guy in the second, neither video showing any time/date stamps.
Hanjour was only a ring-in anyway, the Official Story of the list allegedly found in Atta's luggage cited four whose names were changed sometime later that day or the next. Two who were listed as brothers later were "found" not to be, one dying exactly one year earlier in an ATC mix up while landing which resulted in a collision with another aircraft, and the other "found" alive in Florida. Hanjour replaced a Mosad?, and along with one other completed the change-over of the list, the first time I've ever known a list to somehow change itself while either in someone's luggage, or in FBI hands.
That renders the passenger lists on at least Fl77 as fabricated, since one of the first things the NTSB asks from the airline involved when a plane crashes is a list of the passengers in order to contact the families and sort out insurance etc.
Flight 77 was a regular flight from Dulles to LA leaving at 0810 every morning during the business week. BTS recorded Fl77 as scheduled that day, as usual, but never departing, for 14 years. Now Fl77 is not even mentioned at all. A statistical agency requiring accuracy in its records has now changed them.
That's a rundown of some of the evidence I found during the years. There is more, especially on Flight 175 that allegedly flew into WTC 2, but that's it for now. No MSM as sources of evidence against the US Govt Official Story of 9/11, and Flight 77 in particular.
