I have never been a conspiracy theorist about 9/11. I watched the video Loose Change, and I have to admit I don't accept the "official" story whole-heartedly anymore. I think the "puts" on airline stock and the insurance policy on the WTC seem just a bit too coincidental...but there were other things in the video that disturbed me far more quickly. I have an honours degree in sociology, so I spent a good part of my life studying how people act in group situations. My first, wtf moment was Mark Bingham identifying himself by his full name....to his mother. Assuming that recording is real, I absolutely know for a fact ...that if you are calling your mother for the last time in such a frightening situation...when you call her, you don't waste time saying your last name...she knows you...also, you don't keep repeating "you believe me, don't you". Besides, without question, everyone I have heard call their mother ....says, Hi Mom, it's ME. Mom's know their children's voices better than any other sound in the world. Very weird. Next, Betty Ong.....she wasn't even breathing heavily in the recording.....her supervisor and colleagues had been stabbed....that meant she could easily be next in line. She comments that the plane is all of a sudden flying erratically. If that were the case...put yourself on a flight such as that. I was on a flight to Mexico at Christmas last year. We hit some very sudden and ongoing turbulence that threw the flight attendant up in the air and the cart went as well...almost hitting him. The passengers were VERY audible. I could hear nothing of that nature on the tape of her voice though the plane was supposedly being very erratic (turbulence?). She sounded incredibly composed....too much so...and the passengers were silent (after stabbings and a plane pitching). Interestingly, pilots recognized the call numbers of the "lost" flights after 9/11.....I don't know how aviation people work this sort of thing, but I do know they almost always retire flight numbers etc after a catastrophic loss. I also would like to add something about the Pentagon "crash".....it is very strange that the grass is so intact after an event such as was said to have occurred. I'm sure you have all been to the Airshow. The amazing maneuvers those very highly skilled pilots can perform is astounding. If, in fact, a jet flown at over 500 mph was banked (apparently defies scientific law that a jet could do that without stalling) and flew a few feet off the ground and smashed into the Pentagon in a direct clean hit, without touching the grass....quite frankly, seems absurd! Anyone who thinks it could, must be a helluva a great bowler. Remember, these are supposedly Middle Easterners who took lessons to fly...not take off or land....sorry, but to hit a "strike" like that, you'd have to pretty well have some damn good training in landing as well...because essentially, except for about what looks like a few feet above ground, it was a perfect "strike" (landing). Also, it does not explain why such a narrow gap was "opened up" at the Pentagon from a massive plane ...the wings would have made an impression of some sort on the building ...even if they crushed and disintegrated upon impact. Burn marks?? After all, the official account (which seems completely implausible based on aviation accident history) is that the plane "vapourized". Just my impressions and thoughts....yours?
