Re: Besides, it's quite consistent with the official 911 timeline: the Pennsylvania "crash" as well the Pentagon "crash" allegedly occurred AFTER the WTC towers were hit by the other two hijacked airliners... That is, the orders to shoot down flight 77 and flight 93 were issued after no doubt was left as to the hijackers' real, mass-murderous aims.

Let's separate the two flights. What happened to each was unique.

Flight 93 in Pennsylvania broke up before hitting the ground. Debris was scattered for miles. So there is no question about it having been hit by an air-to-air missile. Eye witnesses saw a fighter in the vicinity. The whole Todd Beamer "Let's Roll" story is bunkum.

Flight 77 has been problematic. The only "proof" I've ever seen that a Boeing 767 impacted on the Pentagon was a quickly removed photo on a renegade website called rense.com. Hardly a bona fide source of forensic information. Other reports of the fuselage vaporizing are too silly to even countenance. So what did happen to Flight 77? I don't have a clue. You suspect it was shot down. But where would the remains be?

Re: Well, I disagree on that point I'm afraid....

If you conclude that Flights 77 and 93 were successfully intercepted, that still leaves the excessive "out of standard" length of time that Flights 11 and 175 were in the air after their transponders were turned off and their impacts on the WTC towers occured, without a NORAD interception. These response times by NORAD were both out of standards.

What is also not credible is the reports from the pilots themselves as to time to intercept which puts them at ridiculously leisurely paces of about .7 to .8 mach. Hardly the sort of response to a dire emergency you'd expect from jets capable of at least twice that rate of speed.
