The = Cover Up of=20 the Flight 93 Crash

By Dr. Hans von = Ohain

.=20
We were all told (or led to believe) that the fourth hijacked plane = on=20 September 11th had most likely crashed in a field in Pennsylvania due to = the=20 actions of heroic passengers storming the cockpit. Considerable = evidence,=20 however, exists pointing to a possible shoot down of that plane.
. =
The=20 most important thing to consider is the timeline of the attacks. There = may have=20 been confusion after the first plane hit the first World Trade Center = tower=20 since many people thought this could have been an accident. The first = absolutely=20 clear indication that a terrorist attack was underway was when the = second plane=20 hit the second tower at 9:06am September 11th.
.
Passengers with = cell=20 phones and the "air phones" build into seatbacks had made numerous calls = to the=20 ground, which should have alerted authorities to the danger even earlier = than=20 the crash of the first or second plane. The planes had taken off as = early as=20 7:59 am, and the planes were hijacked perhaps only a few minutes after = take off.=20
.
Surprisingly, the terrorists were able to crash a third plane = into the=20 Pentagon at 9:43am, thirty-seven minutes after both World Trade Center = towers=20 had been hit. This should have been more than enough time to scramble = jets to=20 protect the D.C. area, or to give orders to an air defense battery (if = any were=20 deployed in the D.C. area) to prepare to shoot down a plane. Clearly, no = one had=20 bothered to come up with a plan to prevent such an attack. Perhaps, if = our=20 Federal Government spent less time spying on law-abiding Americans in = far right=20 political organizations and the militia movement, they might have been = prepared=20 for an attack such as the September 11th one.
.
There is = absolutely no=20 reason why anti-aircraft missiles could not be positioned around the = Pentagon=20 (and the entire Washington D.C. area) to shoot down hijacked planes. = When=20 Clinton was President, someone flew a light airplane into the White = House.=20 Apparently, nothing was done even after that attack to increase = security.
.=20
Arab terrorists had been caught in an attempt to crash a plane full = of fuel=20 into the Eiffel Tower several years ago. A report about a plot by = radical=20 Moslems to stage an attack with planes loaded with fuel targeting the = World=20 Trade Center was in the hands of the CIA in 1993, but was largely = ignored. As if=20 this isn't bad enough, a think tank was hired to predict what sort of = attack=20 terrorists might launch on the U.S. The think tank predicted a plane = full of=20 fuel being flown into the World Trade Center. This prediction also was = ignored,=20 and the authors were not allowed to publish the report for fear of = alarming the=20 public.
.
It seems likely that the third plane was able to crash = into=20 the Pentagon mainly because of a shocking lack of preparation. The = fourth plane,=20 however, was trailing the third plane by almost forty minutes, giving = our=20 military plenty of reaction time. The story of the fourth plane and what = exactly=20 happened to it has apparently been covered up.
.
A very = compelling=20 argument has been made that the fourth plane was shot down by U.S. = fighters and=20 that our government has covered this up. Wreckage, bodies, and an intact = engine=20 were found a significant distance from where the plane crashed into the = ground=20 suggesting that a missile severely damaged the plane causing this debris = to fall=20 away from the plane.
.
The last cell phone call at 9:58am from = Flight 93=20 claimed that an explosion occurred. All cell phone calls stopped after = that, and=20 Flight 93 crashed into the ground eight minutes later. Most likely, the = plane=20 was hit by a missile and decompressed, or all communications from the = plane may=20 have been jammed by military planes in the near vicinity of Flight 93. = An F16=20 was seen to be in the immediate vicinity of Flight 93 by air traffic=20 controllers, and a mysterious white "business jet" was also flying very = near=20 Flight 93 before it crashed.
.
The fact that Flight 93 crashed = into an=20 empty field only fifteen minutes away from Washington, D.C. suggests = that the=20 plane may have been deliberately shot down at that specific location to = avoid=20 additional casualties on the ground. The passengers were probably = rushing the=20 cockpit at the same time that Flight 93 was struck with a missile.
. =
Epilogue
.
Assuming the FBI and = CIA were=20 highly competent, they would have taken the danger of terrorist = hijackings=20 seriously and taken steps, which could have prevented a successful = terrorist=20 attack. In fact several steps could have been taken that would have = foiled the=20 attack:
.
1).The pilot and co-pilot could have been armed. This = should=20 have been done after the rash of hijackings in the 1970s, but our = Federal=20 government opposes letting ordinary Americans defend themselves in = public with=20 guns.
.
2).Anti-aircraft missiles and radar could have been = positioned=20 on top of our tallest skyscrapers. These buildings are worth billions of = dollars, and tens of thousands of people can occupy the largest high = rise=20 building. American taxpayers have paid for these missiles and the = soldiers=20 trained to use them, and they don't do us any good sitting in an armory. = At=20 least, some of these missiles and the soldiers, who operate them, could = be=20 deployed to defend our high rise buildings and national monuments.
. =
3).A secret emergency signal could be built into U.S. airliners so = that they=20 could notify authorities immediately if they have been hijacked. This = would=20 allow the greatest possible reaction time to foil a terrorist attack. =

Flight 93=20 Timeline
The following timeline is for United Airlines = flight 93,=20 scheduled to fly from Newark International Airport to San Francisco. The = flight=20 crashed in Pennsylvania.
This Pittsburgh Post Gazette has added a = great=20 timeline on 10/29/01 here. Read = it.
--8:42=20 a.m.: United Airlines flight 93 takes off from Newark International = Airport.=20 (40 minute delay from schedule 8:02)
--9:16 a.m.: FAA informs = NORAD=20 that United Airlines flight 93 may have been hijacked. (reported as = 9:20 am=20 in Pittsburgh Post Gazette. 2 Airliners have crashed - Fighters have = been=20 scrambled already... the Air Force has 55 minutes to get there before = Flight 93=20 goes down)
-- 9:30 a.m., six minutes after receiving their orders = from=20 the
defense sector, code-named Huntress, three F-16's were airborne,=20 according to the Norad timeline.
Then the pilots received the most = surreal=20 order of the awful
morning. "A person came on the radio," General = Haugen=20 said, "and identified themselves as being with the Secret Service and he = said,=20 `I want you to protect the White House at all costs.' "
--9:35 a.m.: = Flight=20 93 files a new flight plan, reverses course and heads towards Washington = D.C. -=20 presumably the White House.
Comment: This is widely reported - = "ABCNEWS has=20 learned that shortly before the plane changed directions, someone in the = cockpit=20 radioed in and asked the FAA for a new flight plan, with a final = destination of=20 Washington." This would have been a HUGE red flag - a problem aircraft = diverts=20 to the nearest field. I think the Pilot did this to signal Air Traffic = Control.=20
--9:40 a.m.: Transponder signal from United flight 93 ceases and = radar=20 contact is lost. (still got 1/2 hour to get there)
--9:58 a.m. = Todd=20 Beamer's last call ends and fight begins. All cell calls end near this = time.=20
"We got the call about 9:58 this morning from a male passenger = stating=20 that he was locked in the bathroom of United Flight 93 traveling = from Newark=20 to San Francisco, and they were being hijacked," said Glenn Cramer, a = 911=20 supervisor.
"We confirmed that with him several times and we asked = him to=20 repeat what he said. He was very distraught. He said he believed the = plane was=20 going down. He did hear some sort of an explosion and saw white smoke = coming=20 from the plane, but he didn't know where.
"And then we lost contact = with=20 him."
http://www.post-gazette.com/headlines/20010912crashnat= 2p2.asp=20
--10:02 a.m.: After a review of radar tapes, a radar = signal is=20 detected near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
-- 10:04 a.m. = Johnstown-Cambria=20 County Airport reports the plane is 15 miles south ad coming fast.=20
--10:06 a.m. Flight 93 Crashes near Shanksville, 124 miles = from=20 Washington D.C. 15 to 20 minutes away at 500mph. 7 to 10 minutes from = D.C. at=20 1000mph. Remember, F-16 top speed is 1800mph and we had 3 F-16's aloft = at=20 9:30am.
Comment: Do you still think there wasn't time to get a = Fighter=20 there? Hello?? Listen to what a former Pentagon Air Traffic Controller=20 says...
All those years ago when I was in the Pentagon, this wouldn't = have=20 happened. ATC Radar images were (and are) available in the = understructures of=20 the Pentagon, and any commercial flight within 300 miles of DC that made = an=20 abrupt course change toward Washington, turned off their transponder, = and=20 refused to communicate with ATC, would have been intercepted at = supersonic=20 speeds within a max of 9 minutes by a Fighter out of Andrews. =

The informed defense officials laid out a timeline of the events = surrounding=20 the series of terrorist attacks as follows: (Times are EDT and reflect = actual,=20 rather than scheduled departure times of flights.)
--7:59 a.m.: = American=20 Airlines flight 11 takes off from Boston's Logan International Airport.=20
--8:14 a.m.: United Airlines flight 175 takes off from Boston's = Logan=20 International Airport.
--8:20 a.m.: American Airlines flight 11 = stops=20 transmitting IFF beacon signal while over the Hudson River.
--8:20 = a.m.:=20 American Airlines flight 77 departs Dulles International Airport near=20 Washington.
--8:38 a.m.: Boston air traffic center notifies NORAD = that=20 American Airlines flight 11 has been hijacked.
--8:43 a.m.: FAA = notifies=20 NORAD that United Airlines flight 175 has been hijacked.
--8:44 = a.m.: Otis=20 Air National Guard Base in Mass. orders to fighters scrambled. =
--8:46 a.m.:=20 American Airlines flight 11 strikes the World Trade Center's north = tower.=20
--8:47 a.m.: NORAD informed of the plane striking the World Trade = Center.=20
--8:50 a.m.: United Airlines flight 175 deviates from its assigned = flight=20 path.
--8:52 a.m.: Two F-15 Eagles take off from Otis ANG Base in = effort to=20 intercept hijacked plane(s) after first plane has struck the World Trade = Center.=20
--9:02 a.m.: United Airlines flight 175 strikes the World Trade = Center's=20 south tower (F-15 fighter jets from Otis ANG Base are still 70 miles = away.)=20
--9:25 a.m.: FAA notifies NORAD that United flight 77 may have been=20 hijacked.
--9:27 a.m.: (approximate time) NORAD orders jets = scrambled from=20 Langley Air Force Base in Virginia to head to intercept United Airlines = flight=20 77.
--9:35 a.m.: Three F-16 Fighting Falcons take off from Langley = AFB=20 headed toward Washington area.
--9:37 a.m.: American Airlines flight = 77 is=20 lost from radar screens.
--9:38 a.m.: American Airlines flight 77 = strikes=20 the Pentagon.
--9:49 a.m.: F-16 fighter jets arrive over Washington, = D.C. to=20 perform Combat Air Patrol (CAP) over city. (The fighters broke the sound = barrier=20 and traveled supersonic at 720 knots to Washington, making the = approximately 130=20 miles in 14 minutes.)
Comment: Would we really fly circles over = D.C.? What=20 is the AWACS for? I thought it tracked the skies and directed fighters. = This was=20 an easy mission for them. And would we really only have 3 (count 'em = three)=20 F-16's in the air. And what the hell happened to the F-15's? Could there = have=20 been 2 fighters over D.C. and the 3rd sent to intercept Flight 93?
An = eyewitness of a friend of mine said he saw F-16's fly over the Pentagon = 10=20 seconds after the crash. This jives with the NY Timess article that has = 3 F-16's=20 launched at 9:30, 6 minutes after given the orders to scramble. That = still seems=20 way too late for me. You'd think they would have scrambled all available = fighters much sooner.
In fact, Cheney says they knew of the 3rd = Airliner=20 threat not long after Airliner 2 crashed (9:02am). They had given the OK = to fire=20 around 9:15 according to Cheney in the Meet the Press interview, but the = fighters weren't launched at that time?
Something to think about = - after=20 the incredible intelligence and military failure of Pearl Harbor heads = rolled...=20 but in these honorable times what happens? Bush says "Good Job"!
