On September 11, 2001 the United States became ground for numerous terrorist attacks, killing many innocent Americans. One of the attacks included the crashing of United Airlines Flight 93. The plan crashed at 10:03 A.M into a field in Shanksville Pennsylvania at 580 mph. It was Boeing 757 that held 37 passengers and 7 crew members that all were killed from the crash. The flights path was originally suppose to fly from Newark, New Jersey to San Francisco, California, until four Muslim Hijackers took control of the plane and were headed toward Washington D.C (Avery). The passengers were frightened for their lives and several were able to make phone calls to their families to say their last goodbyes before the crash. When the passengers were …show more content…
They don’t understand how is debris from the plane crash could have been able to travel that far from the impact with out being struck by something before it crashed. They give three examples of historic plane crashes such as, Turkish Airlines Flight 981, Air India 182, and Japan Flight 123. All three crashes left behind a good size of wreckage, numerous bodies and one, Japan Flight 123, even managed to have 4 survivors (Avery). So how does a Boeing 757 and all its’ passengers completely disappear they ask. Then they go on to show the reports that no jet fuel was left behind in water or soil from the department of environmental protection. They also questioned how that could have been possible when the plane crashed with 5,000 gallons or 37,500 pounds of jet fuel. Lastly the documentary states the fragile items that were left behind, such as a red bandana, the hijacker’s driver’s license, passports, and a Marriot hotel card from the flight attendant. They overall conclude that there was no way a 757 could have crashed on that day. They claim it had to have been a smaller plane shot down as a cover up and that the original plane landed somewhere safely. Another source from BBC news argues differently. They say there are clear pictures that show airplane wreckage and that the cockpit voice recorder showed that the passenger tried to regain control of the plane. They also
On September 11, 2001, members of the terrorist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airplanes. At 8:45 in the morning, an American Airlines plane crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center. Hundreds of people were killed instantly, and hundreds more were trapped in the burning building. It was thought to be only a freak accident. Less than twenty minutes later, a United Airlines plane crashed into the south tower. It was no longer an accident, but an attack. Later on that morning the third plane hit the Pentagon, and passengers overtook the last plane and crashed it into a field in Pennsylvania. The combined damage from all four planes resulted in the deaths of over 3,000 people, and injuries to another 10,000. Only six people who were
A thorough investigation has been conducted and results from it show that Flight 93 was staged. Pessimists consider that the plane settled safely while a counterfeit plane was shot down. Other theorists trust that the passengers were butchered and their bodies disposed of (The 11 Most Compelling 9/11 Conspiracy Theories). The infamous cell phone calls were fake. Scientists have also verified that there was absolutely no way cell phone reception could have been reachable at the altitude typical airplanes fly at (The 11 Most Compelling 9/11 Conspiracy Theories). Also, where was the blood, the bodies? At the site of where the plane crashed, there was no tangible evidence of anyone being present on that plane (Bumiller). If such a crash were to present itself, one would think there would be dead bodies and blood, conveniently there were absolutely no evidence to show for. However, the Pentagon attack may be the most puzzling event of the day. Theorists maintain that the holes in the Pentagon were much smaller than a commercial American Airlines plane (Newsone). They also question why the plane was not shot down prior to its impact. Another eyebrow raiser is why was the plane flown into the one section of the Pentagon that was vacated due to renovations? Scientists have also confirmed that an aluminum plane could not have permeated the steel structure of the Pentagon; it would have simply disintegrated upon impact. (The 11 Most Compelling 9/11 Conspiracy Theories). Our nation may never know the answers to these puzzling events, but it is definitely something that makes one second guess their perception of what is right and what it wrong. It was also physically proven that the Twin Towers could not have collapsed from gravity alone. The falling of the towers appeared similar to a controlled demolition and seemed aided by the
Those who believe the WTC was destroyed by controlled demolitions argue the debris that blew out of windows was the result of an explosive. But experts disagree by saying the debris was simply the contents of the offices inside being blown out with air as the floors collapsed on top of each other. Also, demolition professionals say explosives are placed on lower levels, whereas, the planes hit the buildings at very high floors. No signs of a bomb were found in the wreckage of the buildings (Debunking the 9/11 myths, n.d.). Those who believe the planes that hit the WTC were remote controlled say there is no way al Qaeda could have even come up with the plan to hijack and crash the planes, much less have acted it out within an hour. The manufacturer stated the planes that hit the buildings had only one system of control: from the flight deck. Many telephone calls were made from passengers on the planes saying they were being hijacked.
The odds that someone will die in a plane crash are 1 in 11 million (Bowman). Unluckily for the passengers of Trans World Airlines (TWA) Flight 800, they beat the odds. TWA Flight 800 mysteriously exploded just minutes after takeoff. The plane’s crash has peaked the interest of theorists for decades. The mystery behind TWA Flight 800 can be summed up in two theories: Mechanical failure, and a surface to air missile.
In Loose Change part 2, flight 93 that crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. At the crash site there is no evidence of flight 93 just a little crater that shows that the plane pould of had to hit the ground at a vertical dive. Before the crash there were three out of many eyewitnesses who were talked to. Susan Mcelwain, said she saw a white plane flew over her and her van, she said it was about 40 ft. above her and she didn’t here a noise. She said it looked like a military plane, as she watched it fly behind tree’s and heard an explosion she thought it crashed, until the FBI told her there was no other plane around there, only flight 93. Then later the FBI changed there story and said it was taking pictures of the crash site. Tom Spinelli and Lee Perba said they had also
Four planes were used in the terrorist attempt to tear the nation apart. Five hijackers apprehended American Airlines Flight 11 and used that commercial airplane to crash into the North Tower in New York’s World Trade Center at 8:46 a.m. At 9:03 a.m., five more hijackers overtook the pilots of United Airlines Flight 175 to fly into the South Tower. American Airlines Flight 77 was also seized by five terrorists and used to crash into the western side of the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. The Capitol or the White House was thought to be the fourth hijacked plane’s target. Because of the heroics of the passengers on United Airlines Flight 93, the plane was forced down in a rural field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:03 a.m. Flight 93’s voice recorder showed that the passengers and crew tried to regain control from the hijackers. The people aboard that flight were informed of the attacks that took
Another glaring omission that the government has never addressed is why fully intact passports of the alleged hijackers we found blocks away from the crash site (Loose Change). If everything including the bodies from the plane caught
It has been fifteen years since September 11th, 2001, and the United States of America has changed since then. The cause of the crash was by the hijackers Osama Bin Laden and eighteen others that took control of four flights. On the morning of Tuesday September 11th, 2001 three aircrafts were headed to Los Angles California. The first aircraft to takeoff from Boston Logan International Airport was American Airlines Flight 11, within an hour and forty minutes Flight 11 crashed into the north tower of The World Trade Center, eighteen minutes later the second aircraft was United Airlines Flight 175, also out of Boston Logan International Airport plowed into the south tower of The World Trade Center, the third aircraft American Airlines Flight
The government claims it was not alien aircraft or aliens and nothing of the sort was ever recovered. They have stated it was only a weather balloon. Alternatively, the evidence may exist but we, the public, are simply denied access to it by the big government on earth. But there are reasons why the government keep hiding and denying about the truth of their existence. The government is
On September 11th, 2001, the Unites States of America was attacked by suicidal al-Qaeda terrorists. Early that morning, nineteen al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial jets, which did have passengers on board. The terrorist purposely killed themselves and the
September 11, 2001 is a day that America will never forget. Most Americans were starting their day, drinking their favorite morning goodness, and getting ready for the day, when a plane flew into the World Trade Center on the television. Just after eight o’clock American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into World Trade Center’s North Tower, and all eyes tuned into New York City to see the catastrophic event. Twenty minutes later during the live news broadcast, United Airlines Flight 175 collided with the World Trade Center’s South Tower. The carnage did not stop there, shortly after nine-thirty American Airlines Flight 77 struck the western face of the Pentagon, and thirty minutes later, United Airlines Flight 93 came down in a field near Shanksville,
September 11, 2001, millions of New Yorkers and American citizens woke up and started their day, unprepared and unaware for the catastrophic attack that would be taking place in just a few short hours. At 8:46 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower. The impact killed all of the passengers and crew as well as hundreds inside the building. At 9:03 a.m., a second plane, Flight 175, crashed into the corner of the South Tower killing passenger, crew, and workers who worked on floors seventy-five to eighty-three. Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. killing approximately 185 individuals (History.com Staff). Because of the damaged to the support system, fires, and impact at extremely fast speed, the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m. (Lipton and Glanz). Having heard about the acts of terrorism that had just taken place in New York and Washington, D.C., a group of passengers drove their plane, Flight 93, into a Pennsylvania field killing everyone on board but possibly saving hundreds of other lives in the process. The North Tower collapsed at 10:28 a.m. 102 minutes after being struck (History.com Staff). On September 11, 2001, almost twelve hundred people were wounded or killed by “coordinated suicide attempts” by Al Qaeda terrorists. In result to the four airplanes being hijacked and used for premediated reasons, the United States government instituted new regulations for entering the country and airport security as well as expounded on systems already in place.
Many people, including the US Government say that a plane hit the Pentagon. According to these people, a terrorist hijacked the plane and flew it with amazing skill and crashed into a near vacant part of the Pentagon. But the evidence just doesn’t add up. The Pentagon was not hit by a plane. First off, the hole was much to small to be hit by a passenger plane. According to Craig McKee, a reporter that covered the pentagon story, “The Boeing 757 is 155 feet, 3 inches long. It has a wing span of 124 feet, 10 inches. And it is 44 feet, six inches high at the tail. The opening in the building was about 75 feet wide after the upper floors collapsed, and about 90 feet at ground level (less than 20 where the fuselage would have hit)”(McKee). Therefor, the Pentagon was not hit by a plane because the hole was much too small and the wreckage
Have you ever wondered what happened to Malaysian Flight 370, which took off on March 8th 2014 from Malaysia headed toward Beijing? The entire world was in shock when they heard that Flight 370 with its 239 passengers and crew vanished off the face of the earth. The airlines, media and even aviation experts were all perplexed about how such a sophisticated aircraft with tracking and radar systems could just disappear during a routine flight. Theories have emerged that the plane crashed into the ocean either by being set on auto pilot or by the actions of the aircrafts captain, or even that it was taken over by highly trained hijackers and flown to a foreign land.
The Flight 370 had 227 passengers, including 2 infants and 12 crew members. This plane crash has made families lose the ones they love without saying goodbye and left with no answers in why their love ones are gone. Families of the passengers and crew members are stuck wondering how and why this plane has crashed. They are stuck thinking how unfair it is for their love ones to disappear not by choice but by ending up dead or missing in this plane crash. As the world is looking for answers, some victims were revealed. Malaysia Airlines had engineers, stunt man, and an
