9/11 Aircraft Oddities

The 9/11 Coverup & More - Research Resources

9/11 In Plane Site - The Director’s Cut Groundbreaking documentary by Dave von Kleist of the Power Hour radio show addresses the evidence that 9/11 was an inside job. Mostly based on photographic and video evidence, but he’s asking the same questions we all need to be asking. The Video is 1:12 minutes long and is a must see for anyone and everyone wanting to know the answers of what really happened on 911. This is a great introductory tool for everything else you will see and read here on this website, and should be seen by every American who dares ask the hard questions about 911, and government engineering of this days events…

The Appendage or Pod on the Fuselage of Flight 175 One of the more controversial issues among 911 researchers, if for no other reason than it is so obvious and easy to see that something is terribly wrong with this aircraft. It was recorded and shown by all News Media sources, CNN, ABC, FOX, New York Times, Camera-Planet, Newsday Magazine and countless others. It doesn’t matter what it is. What matters is that it shouldn’t be there, and shows beyond reasonable doubt that this was not Flight 175, which took off from Boston International Airport on 911.

The Bright Orange Flash caused by a Rocket, Missile or Incendiary Device - Flight 175 This Flash shows up in all of the News Medias footage as well. CNN, ABC, Jennifer Spells CNN Footage, Camera- Planet and looks as though it were caused by some sort of rocket, missile or incendiary device which was released from this aircrafts fuselage just prior to impact. And in one angle of footage, there is actually a white projectile which is seen flying nose to nose just prior to impact, and which apparently makes this bright orange entry hole at the same time this airliners nose is plowing into this building.

The Controlled Disintegration of the World Trade Center on 911 That these Towers were brought down by explosives on 911 there can be no doubt. from their faster than or equal to fall in free fall speeds in a Vacuum, to many Fireman’s testimony that there were explosives, bombs going off everywhere, from the time the planes struck the Towers to the time they fell, in 9 & 10 seconds respectively. There is so much irrefutable evidence and proof that these Towers were brought down by explosives that it can no longer be doubted by anyone with reason and common sense.

The Case of the missing Plane at Shanksville The Mayor of Shanksville remarked how odd it was to get to the Scene in Shanksville, and find that there was no evidence of a plane. The photographs and video evidence show and back this claim up. There is no burnt out areas of the field where this plane allegedly crashed into the earth. And all of the wreckage which was retrieved could be fit into the back of a single pick up truck and a few plastic bags. (AP source) There is little doubt that there was no plane crash here, nor even a shoot down, as there is not enough wreckage to support either of these claims.

The Strange Case of the Missing Boeing at the Pentagon Some people such as Alex Jones and Paul Joseph Watson have said that none of this evidence should be used or pursued by 911 investigators, claiming that some day the government will produce a video showing a 757 hitting the Pentagon, thus casting aspersion onto all the other evidence. What they fail to realize, is that the government cannot produce any footage that would contradict what they have already given out. And they have indeed backed themselves into a corner on the Pentagon issue, and cannot change their story.

The Franklin Cover Up - The Worst Cover Up in All of American History This Story is one of the most scandalous stories ever to surface in America. It is a documented case of Satanism, Human Sacrifice, and Government run and government protected pedophilia rings, which are there to serve the sick and perverse needs of the ‘Elite’ who run this Nation, Congressman, Senators, Presidents, Judges, you name the office, and you can bet it is filled with pedophiles who use the “services” of such kidnapping and pedophile rings which are government run and protected. A rare insight into the criminality of the FBI.

Looking for the Logic - Appendage on Flight 175

2007-01-03T17:43:00.000-08:00

By Glen Stanish, of the LetsRoll Forums

My name is Glen Stanish. I am a Pilot and Co-Founder of this Pilots For Truth Forum, and Co-Founded this website along with Johndoex. I received my commercial in 87. I am rated on the B-737, DO-328, Ba3100, and qualified on the MD-80. I have been been flying for about 25 years, for the airlines since 91.

I was checking out some of the new areas of the forums and found a thread which was kind of upsetting to me. It is the one titled "BYE, BYE UAL175 "POD" THEORY!, Proof POD doesn't exist!!!" It wasn't the photos which disturbed me the most. It was how quickly so many people dismissed not just the pod, but all the issues dealing with Flight 175. And the logic of it all is what I am seeking. I thought I might be missing something, so I tried to get aboard the logic train of those who responded in the thread, and it got me thinking. I am fairly certain everyone here agrees that the World Trade Center was brought down by controlled demolition, or bombs if you prefer that term. Which brings me to my first stop on the logic train and a few questions as well. If they brought down the World Trade Center with bombs which had to have been pre-planted, then why the planes? Why even use planes? And for the life of me I cannot get into the minds of those replying in this thread, so I was forced to ask myself some more questions. Do these people think that that plane was Flight 175? And if so, do they believe that Hijackers were at the controls? You see this doesn't make sense to me at all. Do they believe the people were gassed and the planes taken over by remote control and flown into the WTC? Or do they perhaps believe there were "no planes" on 911? A carefully crafted media hoax?

I know better than to believe you guys here buy into the "no planes" routine. So I scratched that off my list. Which left more questions. Do they believe that this was Flight 175? Or perhaps a Military Drone? I guess it could be either, as the only thing I was able to perceive is a disdain for the 'pod.' So I followed a train of logic. I know they brought down the buildings by explosives, and it is apparent they did it from the Top down. And not coincidently, right about the area where the planes struck, is where the WTC started to crumble first. On each tower. Which brings us back to the first question. Why did they use the planes? I am confident most people here already assume that the planes had nothing to do with the demise of the World Trade Center. But I could be wrong on this. Maybe some here believe that the jet fuel fires created by the planes actually had something to do with the towers demise. But I doubt this as well.

Now after reading many posts here I can see most people do not believe that Hijackers hijacked any of the four planes on 911. I have yet to find a post which subscribe to the Hijacker theory as being a sound piece of evidence. But lets say for argument sake that there was Hijackers, and that they pulled off what we would consider the impossible, simultaneously hijacking 4 aircraft at roughly the same time. Do the people who have so much disdain for the pod believe that the hijackers piloted the aircraft into the World Trade Center? Maybe I missed it, but haven't found a single post to suggest that any here believe such a thing. But lets say that the Hijackers were at the controls. Could they have piloted the aircraft into the World Trade Center in the exact place where bombs had been placed to take down the towers? And if so, who planted the bombs? You see, the logic train here just doesn't work and something has to give. But following the previous train of logic, are we to expect that the 19 hijackers gave themselves up and killed themselves for what is basically an American government plot? And that though they had no piloting abilities, were able to not just simply hit the World Trade Center, but hit it in the exact place where the explosives would so soon take it down? As well as be willing to expend their lives for an American inside job? It sounds absurd when written down like this, does it not? So I then checked the forums to see if I could find anyone who believes that the Hijackers were working together with the U.S. Government in this plot, and I came up dry. For the most part all I saw is that most of you believe they were patsies in some manner or another.

I guess this leads us back to question #1. Why did they use the planes? We all know that the buildings started to fall from the top down. Was it because of the raging Jet Fuel fires? Or from Explosives? Or even a combination of the two? Again, I couldn't find anyone here on the forums, not even one single person who believes the Trade Centers came down because of raging jet fuel fires. Rather everyone here subscribes to the 'Explosives' theory, as do I. Which again brings us back to that pesky question. Why did they use planes? Apparently they used aircraft for a cover story and plausible deniability for why the Towers fell. Looking backwards we can see they had a 'cover story' all ready to go, and it is the 'Jet Fuel' theory. That the Jet Fuel caused such raging fires that it weakened the steel columns, and the Buildings could no longer bear their load, and hence the collapse. That of course combined with damage done to the buildings by the planes impacts themselves. And we all know this to be true in hindsight, as thats the explanation were we all given, even before "experts" could weigh in on the matter.

So we have an answer now on why they used the planes. They used them for a cover story and a plausible reason to give the public on why the towers fell. But this leaves us with the other questions still unanswered. Who piloted the planes? Was it the Hijackers? Or perhaps you believe the people were all gassed and the planes flown remotely. As a pilot and knowing how tricky these larger commercial aircraft are to handle and steer, I think we can safely rule out they were flown by the Hijackers. I also think it is safe to assume that these aircraft weren't piloted by the actual pilots themselves. Which leaves us with only two possibilities on these questions. That the people were gassed and the planes taken over remotely, thus basically a drone aircraft, or that a simple Military Drone was the actual plane which slammed into the world Trade Center. Thats all that left on the table at this point. It is either one or the other. And it cannot be both. Thus either way, in essence, we are stuck with, as the only possibility being these planes were drones. But what kind of Drones were they? Lets examine the two possibilities.

1. The People were gassed, along with the Pilots and Flight crew. And once dead, the planes were remotely flown into each tower. The problem with this scenario is that all of the people wouldn't fall unconscious at the same time. And a remote possibility that one of the passengers, having a medical condition might have their own air supply, and thus be able to use the airphones and alert authorities. An alert Stewardess might see whats happening and drop the air supply down, thus ruining the whole operation. Far too risky. And option #2 over rules this out as a possibility as well.

Now we must ask ourselves, if we are, by logic, down to a single scenario, this question:

Is there any evidence to suggest this was a Military Drone, or anything which might lead us to the conclusion that this was not Flight 175? Or that perhaps Flight 11 was a Military Drone? Well, lets examine the evidence and see.

Just before Flight 11 smashed into the North Tower, there is a bright explosive event. The important thing here is it happens BEFORE impact.

Picture 1A

This can only be one of 3 things.

1. Explosives going off in the WTC before impact
2. Explosives going off because the 'Hijackers' are pressing the button too soon
3. A missile or incendiary device being ejected from the Plane. (This is what Paul Joseph Watson believes it is)

Before I continue, I want to point out that this is prime evidence or proof of a 911 conspiracy. We could stop right here, if it is proof we are looking for. It does not matter which of the three you choose. They all spell conspiracy. But let's see if there is more evidence on Flight 175 which might suggest it is a Military Drone, as we have far more footage to examine than with Flight 11.

Picture 1B

What is that white plug that is flying nose to nose with this aircraft? And just what causes that flash? Take a look yourselves, the flash is at least 8-10 feet away from the plane, and is so bright it illuminates the entire side of the aircraft. Notice how the bright orange flash is not present until that white plug disappears. The best counter argument to date on what this is, is that it is a 'static discharge.' As a Pilot myself, all I can say is that it is not a 'Static Discharge'. Now read this quote I got from the front page of letsroll911.org. Phil called a lot of Congressmans offices, and spoke to many people. Here is a quote which says it all in a nice short sentence or so.

When I called Congressman Wellers office, I was put through to Sandra, who took my call. I got her to log onto 'LetsRoll911.org' and open the Cameraplanet footage; She didn't have any time to even read my website, nor did I tell her what was coming. And without any prompting nor guidance, she, all on her own, exclaimed; "My God, that looks like a Wire Guided Missile, that just can't be..."

As a Pilot, I am not sure what it is, as I cannot touch it or examine it apart from this video. But I am with Sandy, Wellers secretary on this one. It sure as hell looks like a missile to me and would be my first guess as well. Perhaps you don't like this evidence, even though it looks conclusive to me. Perhaps this is too explosive for you? OK, lets see if there is anything else wrong with this aircraft.

Picture 1C
Picture 1D

A 2nd piece of equipment has been added to this plane. Right next to the Port Wing. As a Pilot of Commercial Heavies, I can say this. This is supposed to be a scheduled part FAA 121 commercial heavy aircraft. And in no way would a piece of equipment such as this ever be added to a commercial airliner. Nor would it ever be missed in "walk around" or "preflight inspection." And it doesn't matter whether you believe it is a bomb, a container, a remote control pod, or whatever. Just the fact it is there proves beyond any doubt that this was not Flight 175. Still not convinced? Lets look at some more evidence then.

Picture 1E

Now people have tried to debunk this photo as well. It isn't surprising to me, as they try and debunk everything that shows 911 is a conspiracy, whether it is with Flight 175, Flight 11, or Bombs in the Towers. The best explanation I have heard regarding what this is, is that it is the VHF and UHF antenna which are attached at about those same areas. Now as a Pilot of Commercial Heavies, I can say right off the bat that that is a far "stretch." With the airplane banking as it is, the blade antenna would not even show up in this photo, and with the resolution, probably wouldn't show up even if the plane were level. And these are far too large to be Blade Antenna. They are about 10 feet long, and can be measured to be this long by comparing them to the size of the Engines, which are about 10 foot in diameter. If you will pardon my French, Blade Antenna my ass! I see the underside of all the planes I pilot, and have seen these Antenna many times. They are only about 12-14 inches, give or take. They are small and tiny. These are a minimum of 10 feet long and probably longer. And I agree these show that something is being sprayed out of the aircraft at a very high velocity. So much so that the wind sheer is hardly even allowing these to bend. And these aircraft do not drop fuel in this manner anyways. If a fuel drop is necessary, the fuel is released at the wings end, and it gurgles out, slowly. It is not even a remote possibility that a 767-200 can release fuel from these sections of the aircraft frame.

Mark Burnback, a FOX News Employee, was an eyewitness of the 2nd Plane at the 2nd Tower, and while still fresh in his mind, only moments after impact said he saw no passenger windows on this aircraft. Listen for yourself.

This was aired on the Fox Network Live only moments after the 2nd Impact:

Audio 1G

And to date, not a single picture has ever emerged showing this plane to have any passenger windows. Not a single one. Odd isn't it, the plane which we have so much footage of, not a single picture shows windows on this plane? Now take a look at this footage below, which shows what appears to be a white laser light painting the side of the world trade center. The best explanation I have heard for this says it is a piece of paper. I think this explanation is nonsense. But if your not convinced, then consider this must be the most resilient piece of paper to ever have been made, because right after the plane hits underneath it, it jumps onto the fireball, and then onto the face of a building a few miles away.

Now lets move along to the pod. And make some commentary here before delving into this area. People make the argument that we need to drop this, or that, and just settle on what we all can agree on. The Controlled Demolition of the Towers. And they say this for 'credibility' sake. Which leads me to some questions for all of you to thoughtfully consider. Do you really honestly believe that if you drop everything, all evidence of anything but the controlled demolition, that the FBI will magically appear out of nowhere and run with the obvious? Don't you think if we can figure out this was a controlled Demo deal, that the FBI more than likely beat us to the punch? Or are you of the mindset that if we just dropped the pod, then the FBI will jump on the controlled demolition bandwagon? That the FBI was in hot pursuit of the truth that explosives brought down the World Trade Center, but then this stupid pod came along and paralyzed them into inaction? Is this really what you think? This would not stop the FBI from prosecuting the case. Any more than they would drop the OJ Simpson case if someone said it was aliens who did it. They would drop what is irrelevant and go with what they knew was a crime.

I guess I cannot see the logic train for those who wish to so easily dismiss this key piece of evidence. I actually think it is proof and about as good as it gets. I do not think this is a theory. Even though all we have to work with is pictures, as the physical proof is long gone. But the pictures do show an obvious appendage on this Scheduled Part FAA 121 commercial airliner, as the pictures below will show. And just because some anonymous person, who is now banned, can do a trick and try to persuade people that this is all a creation of light and shadows with a model no larger than his hand, doesn't mean squat to me. We don't even know if that person added something either onto the plane or photoshopped it for this effect. We don't know his name. We don't know where the light was. And he failed to show what it looks like from the same angle from pictures below it. We do know he came here with an agenda. No pod. And it was a clever trick however he did it. But I am surprised how easily so many here were fooled by this. As I have shown all of you from the above pictures, even if there is no pod, it can still be proven that this was not Flight 175 with all the other anomalies on it. There are just too many of them to dismiss. It was not Flight 175.

But there was an appendage on this aircraft which does not belong there. Actually there are two. But I am now going to speak about the 'pod.' Not the appendage which clearly is on the Port Wing. But a few things they both have in common is this:

*1. They should not be there. They have been added onto this aircrafts bottom.
*2. They both Cast their own shadows
*3. They both have their own reflections, just like the engines
*4. It is impossible that these could have ever been missed by the ground crews, and the Pilot, who is required to do a "walk around" or "preflight inspection."
*5. They both show that this Plane never took off from Boston Logan International Airport
*6. They both prove beyond any reasonable doubt that this was a U.S. Military Drone, and not Flight 175
*7. They show up in nearly 98% of all the video footage and pictures.

Now I want to first of all address a common complaint which isn't even a fair shot at debunking any of this material. And that is that the pod would block the Gear Well Doors. Not so. First take a good look at the bottom of this 767-200.

Picture 1H

And notice how though not shown, that the landing gear folds up into the wing root of the aircraft, which is the flat underside of the planes fuselage centerline.
Now in the photograph below, the gear well doors do indeed appear to be blocked. But then, the port engine also appears to be about 8 feet too long and forward of its real positioning. This could be the result of either video artifacting, or a result of the jet fuel being sprayed from this planes fuselage. When you get gas in your car, and the fumes come up from the tank nozzle, everything is blurry and convoluted. That is more than likely what is occurring here. But it could be video artifacting as well.

Picture 1I

Now notice in this picture that we know did not come from a video camera, that the 'pod' is forward of the gear well doors.

Picture 1K

The reason the above picture is so grainy is that William Lewis took it from the actual New York Magazine with his camera. In this picture below, which I am sure is the same shot, only clearer, and from a 35MM, it can be seen clearly that the pod is forward of the gear well doors.

Picture 1L

So, with that out of the way and addressed, now take a look at the appendage on Flight 175.

Picture 1M

Clear as a bell! A very large appendage on the planes fuselage. It is not a Wing Faring either. Wing Fairing's are symmetrical and even and balanced. This is quite obviously asymmetrical, off centered, and only on 1/2 the Wing Root. Thus it is not a Wing Faring. It casts its own shadow and has its own reflection, just as the engines do. Shadows do not cast shadows, and reflections do not cast reflections. It is a 3D object. A Spanish University did an analysis which showed this to be a 3D object, which we don't need experts for as it is obvious by looking at it.

Also this quote from Amics21:
P.S. Spanish Intelligence?
Obviously the investigative report by La Vanguardia journalists has been having its effect. The people (one man and his fax machine?) at OilEmpire.us have been having a good old time slagging off sites such as this one and WebFairy, Physics911.org, Let'sRoll911.org, 911Review.org, etc., for passing off fuzzy adulterated pictures. We're now called "Pod people". Looks like we're down on this black list as purportedly being in cahoots with "Spanish intelligence services". Wrong country Mark, "Sali al-Ioli and Luigi bin Liner [formerly of MI6] working the Kasbah for You".

In any case, the investigative reports by La Vanguardia journalists were published in June and July of 2003, when Spain was part of the Coalition of the Bribed, I doubt that "Spanish intelligence services" would work against their own government.

It is in virtually all of the CNN footage, a bit fuzzy in about 3 out of 100 frames or so, but only in those 3 frames, and it was after all supposed to be concealed, so we shouldn't be surprised if there are some photos where it is hard to see. It is in the Evan Fairbanks footage. The other CNN footage as well. Now the only other argument I have heard is that "Wouldn't an extra piece of Equipment" like this throw off the planes balance? This is a ridiculous argument made by people who simply do not know the dynamics of flying. I have seen entire, fully intact engines, placed in their own pod alongside another working engine when an airline needs to replace an engine that went down, say, in the Fiji Islands. The pictures below say the whole story. Yes, it is easy to place extra equipment on the bottom of a plane. It can easily be offset by changing the thrust of each engine to account for imbalance.

Now a while back Ethan Stroschein asked about the pod. And JohnDoeX (co-founder of Pilots for 9/11 Truth) deferred it to me, and am sorry now that I didn't take the time earlier and address this important piece of 911 evidence. I have looked into this extensively. And it is there. There is an appendage on this aircrafts fuselage. No ifs, ands or buts about it. As Colonel George Nelson once said:
"Anyone who says otherwise, or says that there is no pod, or it is a wing fairing, is spreading disinformation, either intentionally or otherwise...."

There are two appendages on this aircrafts bottom. One on the fuselage, and one next to the Port Wing. It is spraying out something from it's fuselage and my best guess is that since these aircraft aren't water tankers, that it is Jet Fuel being atomized to mask everything wrong with this plane from the ground cameras. Call it a fuel blur between the plane and the ground. I can come to no better theory than that the plane is also firing a missile, rocket or incendiary device of some kind to act as a match for the fuel. And it sure looks like a laser painting the side of the building to me., as I pointed out earlier, it sure isn't paper.

It is easy to dismiss the pod, especially if you haven't looked into it. Nobody wants to be called 'pod people' after all. But they are going to make fun of us no matter what we finally end up believing and adhering to, so it might as well be the whole entire truth as best as we can see it and prove it. If you don't want to be made fun of, then 911 simply isn't for you. So if believing the visual photo's and videos show appendages on the bottom of Flight 175, and by so believing they want to call me a pod person, then so be it. I am good with that. Because it is undeniable that there are all sorts of issues with this plane, the pod being only one of several of them. And when I saw the pod getting treated as it was on this forum, I wanted to step in as the Co-Founder and try to enlighten some people to the obvious. Many of you might simply have been poisoned by Killtown and his incessant trashing of the Pod. And let me shed some light on what might be his motivation in doing so, and am surprised none of you have ever thought of this. All these issues are the death knell to Killtown and the Webfairies reign of Error. For crying out loud, can't you see that? If there is a pod, then there is obviously a plane! If it fires out a missile or rocket, then obviously there is a plane. If it has another piece of equipment on the Port wing, there is obviously a plane. Thats why they hate this so much and never miss an opportunity to trash this evidence. Because it, all by itself, completely and totally debunks their long reign of error. I would bet that that clever picture with the pod on the model plane was more than likely made by them. They will do anything to disprove this, not because they love truth, but because it shows that they have yet one more red herring. From Holograms to CGI. And these people haven't ever accepted proper rebuke for all of their holographic nonsense and disinformation they spread around the internet with so much hatred and contempt for any who disbelieved them. They then move from one totally discredited theory, to a more reasonable, but equally discredited theory, that these planes were CGI, which is nothing more than a bunch of carefully crafted cow cookies, to put it nicely. And anyone who spreads this nonsense is spreading disinformation, whether it be Jimmy Walters, or Morgan Reynolds. They reject the simple proofs, and exchange them with carefully crafted lies. I would call this obfuscation if not an all out assault on the simple truths.

I often wonder what their true motives are, as they are the loudest and most vociferous force on the net against this evidence. But won't go there for now.

To close, I offer you some more logic. Everyone who believes that the World Trade Center was brought down by Controlled Demolitions, actually is a proponent of these aircraft being Military Drones, whether or not they even realize it. Because none of us believe there were hijackers. We know they weren't piloted by the Pilots themselves who allegedly took off in these aircraft. And the WTC started it's collapse right where these planes hit. And none of us believe the bogus jet fuel melodrama hooey. So what does this leave us with guys? Thats right! Drones! They had to be Drones. Logic dictates they were Drones. The photographic and video evidence says "Drones.."

The Drones hit the towers where they were programmed to hit them. And then they provided a literal smokescreen to hide the initiation of the collapse as well as to give reason why they collapsed. I am sorry if this upset anyone here, but I just couldn't sit tight while yet another forum trashes absolutely great evidence and proof. And as a Co-Founder of this forum and website, felt an obligation to speak up on these issues and clear the air. I would prefer this evidence to not be relegated to Alternate Theories, as it truly isn't a theory with as much overwhelming proof that there is available through pictures and video. This is every bit as good as the controlled demolitions of the Towers, and to be honest, easier to prove. Although both are easy to prove.

Very Truly Yours,

La Vanguardia's Article on Flight 175 Oddities

2006-12-24T15:04:00.000-08:00

One and a half years after 9/11 many questions remain as to the circumstances surrounding the attacks on the Twin Towers. One of these unknowns is the nature of certain forms or marks which can be seen on the fuselage of the plane which crashed into the south tower of the World Trade Center. "La Vanguardia" asked Boeing about these marks, who claimed they were unable to respond for reasons of national security and referred it to the independent commission which has been conducting an inquiry since 31 March into what happened.

In the frozen images of various film shots of the final run of United Airlines flight 175, there are three strange shapes discernible, which the aeronautical experts consulted find difficult to explain. They consist of two long shapes located underneath the fuselage, one towards the bow and the other towards the stern of the plane. There is a third, seemingly pyramidal in shape, on the underbelly, almost in the center of the plane. Boeing's department of commercial aviation, with headquarters in Seattle, examined the photographs for ten days and, having announced an explanation for the phenomenon, declined to make a statement on what it saw. Finally a spokesman stated that Boeing was unable to offer an opinion "for security reasons" and because it had not officially participated in the investigation of the attacks.

Various aeronautical engineers at official Spanish centers have found no clear explanation for the reflections or shapes which can be observed on the hijacked plane. However, a contour-detection digital analysis of the stills, carried out at the Escola Universitària Politècnica de Mataró, concludes that the "objects discerned cannot be due to shadows caused by the angle of incidence of the sun upon the plane as they always appear as the same shape and size, although their luminosity varies." This result was reached having subjected the photographs to a digital image process "which would respond to changes in luminance" which can be seen with the naked eye and which, in principle, would make no sense, given that the fuselage of commercial airplanes is cylindrical and flat, according to the cited technical report.

The author, who has had extensive professional experience in digital image processing, artificial neuronal networks and biometry, says in the report that "the same treatment" was applied to each of the photographs "using three standard digital image processing algorithms", the technical data of which are detailed at length in the dossier. Having clarified that "the images studied are taken from different angles of observation", it establishes that the "objects detected present distinct luminosity as they are in relief" and adds that "this is the only possible explanation", finally pointing out that "the objects detected can be clearly distinguished from the landing gear."

The reconstruction of the events leading up to the horrific attack on the second tower show that preparations for the United Airlines flight UA-175 from Boston to Los Angeles were routine on the morning of 11 September 2001. The aircraft, a B-767-222, registration N612UA, left the United terminal at Logan International airport at 7:58 and was in the air by 8:15. There were 56 passengers on board, including five Al Qaeda terrorists armed with box-cutters. The captain was fifty-year-old, ex-Naval pilot, Victor Saracini.

The aircraft followed its usual route until 8:47, when, at the level of George Washington bridge, which joins the north side of Manhattan to New Jersey over the River Hudson, it changed course veering sharply left. The hijackers, having slit the throats of several stewardesses, had taken control of the cockpit. For twelve minutes the Boeing flew over the Hudson following its western shore, until it again made another tight left turn. Right before it was the south tower of the World Trade Center, into which it crashed at 9:03.

At the time live television cameras were broadcasting a fire in the north tower, caused by the impact of an American Airlines B-767 which had taken place at 8:48. Millions of viewers witnessed live the UA-115 (sic) fly into the south tower, between floors 78 and 84, causing a much greater explosion than the one caused minutes earlier by the American Airlines plane.

The official investigation by the Federal Aviation Authority determined that the Boeing crashed into the building at a velocity of 937 kilometers per hour. Another study by the Massachusetts Technology Institute, however, established a speed of 859 kilometers per hour at the moment of impact.

Neither of the two investigations mentioned there was any strange form attached to the aircraft. Their conclusions form part of the half million documents serving as a departure point for the ten members of the national commission looking into the causes of the attacks.

The commission began its investigations at the New York Port customs building. Its objective is to continue the investigation started by the Joint Senate-House of Representatives Intelligence Committee. Before handing over to the national commission, the committee identified several human and organizational errors which had hindered work by the intelligence services to prevent the attacks. The White House then tried to get ex-Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, to preside the commission. Having failed to achieve this, it then cut off financing and the commission has still not received the eleven million dollars budgeted for their work. The commission, which has the support of both the Democrat and Republican parties, is due to present its conclusions to Congress in May 2004. The families of the 2,798 people who died on 9/11, 1,095 of whom were in the south tower of the World Trade Center in New York, will have to wait until then for concrete answers as to how the biggest attack the United States has ever suffered was carried out.

Flight 175 Impact Frames Shows Pod

2006-10-16T19:29:00.000-07:00

If you look at the impact videos and look at Flight 175 as it begins to slice through the South Tower, you will notice three separate impact points from major pieces onboard the aircraft.

The best view is from the CNN footage, which also reveals the flash seen prior to impact. As we look at the impact frames we notice that the two engines punching through the facade of the Tower. But there is also another dust cloud made by a piece of equipment tucked between the fuselage and the right wing:

This is a perfect match with the pod seen in several photos and videos. You can see the pod, flash and the three impact points on this four angle comparison here.

This third impact point is also seen in the NIST diagram of the impact hole:

This is solid proof that extra equipment was attached.

Welcome to the 9/11 Aircraft Oddities Investigation

2006-09-25T17:49:00.000-07:00

Welcome to my new blog investigating the two planes that impacted the World Trade Center. We will look at the various photos and video of both impacts, looking at every aspect of the planes. The planes themselves have interesting characteristics that are not found on standard commercial airliners.

This research was pioneered by Leonard Spencer of Serendipity.li, who found a flash occurring prior to the impact of the North Tower. Shortly after, he published an article finding a flash also occurring prior to the South Tower impact and also finding extra equipment located on the underside of the plane. This research was later promoted and built upon by senior 9/11 researcher Phil Jayhan, webmaster of the site LetsRoll911.org, who has found even more equipment attached to the plane.

This evidence has been included in many top 9/11 truth productions including 9/11 In Plane Site and Loose Change. However, it has been met with criticism within the 9/11 Truth Movement. We will debunk these claims in future posts.
