How photos support your own "reality"

Why do 9/11 deniers see an alternative story in pictures of the attacks? Because we all interpret images according to our biases.

    @ motherwell

    You really haven't read anything or thought about this before today did you motherwell?

    Here is what they had to say over at pilots for 911 truth about Hani Hanjour the "pilot" of Flight 77, you know the one that flew into the Pentagon.

    http://pilotsfor911truth.org/pentagon.html

    So, to sum up. Hani Hanjour, took a 757, with zero time in type, did the maneuver described above, a 400 knot 330 degree sprialing dive at 2500 fpm, only gaining 30 knots, then 30 knots more descending from 2200 feet at full power, with a very steady hand as to not overshoot or hit the lawn, inside ground effect, at 460 knots impact speed, but was refused to rent a 172 cause he couldn't land it at 65 knots? C'mon... sounds like a bad B movie... Please see right margin for more testimony regarding Hani and his training.

    My conclusion is, the maneuver looks possible, for guys like me and you. But for Hani? unlikely. He either got REALLY lucky, or someone/something else was flying that plane. Sure wish we had clear video of a 757 hitting the pentagon to silence all these "Conspiracy theorists" (the "no planes"idiots - Bill). They want us to believe the pentagon is only covered by a parking gate camera? C'mon...

    But then he was using that new "more powerful and explosive" aviation fuel wasn't he?

    "The speed, the maneuverability, the way that he turned, we all thought in the radar room, all of us experienced air traffic controllers, that that was a military plane," says O'Brien. "You don't fly a 757 in that manner. It's unsafe." - Danielle O'Brien,Air Traffic controller, Washington DC

    “I’m still to this day amazed that he could have flown into the Pentagon. He could not fly at all. He had trouble controlling and landing the single-engine Cessna 172." - a former employee of the flight school Hanjour attended.

    According to Gary Eitel, an experienced military pilot, this maneuver would be beyond the capabilities of 90 per cent of the best, most experienced military pilots in the world.

    Please motherwell, don't stop posting, you are cracking me up! You know, if you weren't so bloody minded and arrogant I would almost feel sorry for you.
