Plume in Flight 93 photo is different

[Killtown]

you guys are a joke! You guys insisted that 93's crash made a HUGE monsterous hot fireball that in turn made a HUGE monsterous smoke plume that's seen in Val's photo, now you are all BACKTRACKING and saying, "well, well, not all plane crashes burn the grass."! Frickin pathetic!

Just concede that Val's plume WAS NOT caused from 93 crashing.

[Dr Richard]

No, it BLOWS TO BITS your guy's claim the crash made a monsterous hot fireball that made a monsterious plume that is seen in Val's photo.

Please guys, save yourself anymore embarrasment and just admit there is no way Val's plume could have been caused by 93 crashing!

wow.

Killtowns logic:

assertion 1. the crater is defined by the area of burnt grass
assertion 2. there is no burnt grass ouside the crater
assertion 3. a fireball from the plane crash would burn grass ouside the crater

conclusion: the crater was therefore not caused by the plane crash

well, I'm convinced.

shame we had to wait 2600+ posts for that gem of deductive reasoning

Killtown,

Can you answer these questions, please? Not a photo, a simple yes or no answer...or a conditional answer if you feel it is needed.

If you put your hand into something that was 450 degrees, would you get burned?

If you put a piece of paper inside/against something that was 450 degrees, would it catch fire?

If you touched a blade of dry grass with something at, say, 600 degrees, would it always catch fire?

Are you familiar with a "grenade trench" inside a military bunker?

Or are you afraid because you don't understand where I'm going with this, because you don't have even a basic understanding of the dynamics of heat and temperature?

No, Killtown, we argued that it could have made a huge, hot fireball. We also argued that it could have made a small, relatively cool fireball. IF you could answer the questions I've asked, we could actually move beyond your childish namecalling and you might learn a bit of something.

Funny, I showed you guys a B-52 crash and you said, "oh, that's nothing like the Flight 93 crash," but now you guys are starting to compare the same kinds of "UNRELATED" crashes!!!

LoL!!!


Maybe somebody would like to explain their Flight 93 crash theory again?!

Hi Killtown, this is Rudimentary Logic calling. Why do you shun me? Why won't you return my calls? I know I'm a bit of a downer at times--always pointing out that this doesn't make sense or that that is a non-sequitur, but still, baby, if you stick with me we can really go places.

You see, honey, let Ms. Logic just explain something to you: the difference between "some" and "all." I know, I know, they are both words for quantities, so why should any of us care about more subtle differences than that? I'm making it waaaaaayyyyyy too complicated for you, ain't I, sugar?

Let me do my best to keep it simple:

If you say "all swans are white" then I only need to find one black swan, and I've proven you wrong.

If you claim, however, that "some swans are black" then it doesn't matter how many photographs of white swans I provide for you, that doesn't prove you wrong. You're now the only one who needs to find a single photograph of a black swan, and you've proven your case.

Can you see where I'm going with this?

When you say "ALL plane crashes produce massive fireballs that leave lingering fires on the ground underneath them" you're not the one who only has to produce one photograph to prove your case. It's the people who disagree with you who only have to produce one photograph to disprove it.

Similarly, if the people you're arguing with are saying "someareoplanes can crash and produce a fireball that does not spread along the ground but moves rapidly upwards into the air" you can't disprove that by producing one photo of a plane that didn't. They can prove it (just like the swans, baby) by producing any photos of planes that crashed, burned, and did not scorch the earth around the crash site.

Any chance you followed any of that, KT? Or is Rudimentary Logic dead to you now?

[Dr Richard]

Just concede that Val's plume WAS NOT caused from 93 crashing.

Killtown, could a I just check your current position:

1. You have admitted that you previous assertions on smoke plume colour are wrong
2. You have admitted your previous assertions about the size of the plume based on Val's photo and google earth maps are wrong
3. Your entire case now rests on the fact that you have a picture of some unburnt grass taken at an unspecified point after the crash?

[Killtown]

wow.
conclusion: the crater was therefore not caused by the plane crash

Not necessarily, it just means that YOUR GUY'S fireball estimates have been DISPROVEN!

If a 757 crashed there, it burrowed underground along with MOST of the 5,500 gals of fuel thereby DISPROVING it could have caused the 6-7 FOOTBALL FIELD LENGTH smoke plume seen in Val's photo.

Just concede to that.

KT, I'd be happy to "concede to that" if you would mount an actual argument for your case. Show me your calculations about the size of the fireball. Show me a fireball of X minimum size is necessary to produce the cloud in the McClatchey photograph. Show me that it is impossible for a fireball of that size to form from an accident of this kind that does not burn the ground directly underneath it.

Please try to understand that a photograph of a B-52 crashing under completely different circumstances is about as useful to your argument as a photograph of a duck. Now: what evidence to you have for either of the two key elements in your argument above?

[Killtown]

When you say "ALL plane crashes produce massive fireballs that leave lingering fires on the ground underneath them"
To bad that's not what I'm saying.

I'm saying YOUR plane crash theory that YOU GUYS say caused a HUGE FIREBALL that was EXTREMELY HOT couldn't have done what you guys claimed it did!

Not even your MINIMUM estimates would be consistent with the crater area and then be able to produce Val's MONSTEROUS plume!

As to what it has to do with the crash, I'm getting there. The fact that you have to ask this shows me that the questions really need an answer and you really don't understand heat and temperature, or blast.

[Yoink]

Your MINIMUM fireball size would have burned a LARGE area of grass around the crater!!!

What is your proof of this claim? How have established that all fireballs always burn everything that is combustible directly beneath them?

I know that you think it's enoug to roll your eyes at this, KT, and to say "that's just obvious"--but think about this for a moment: weren't you just a teensy, weensy bit surprised to read that there was a lot of combustible material almost directly beneath the atom bomb at Hiroshima that wasn't burned? What would have seemed "obvious" to you about that? Wouldn't you have thought it "obvious" that the bomb would burn everything that was combustible close to ground zero? If you're wrong about that "obvious" thing, why aren't you wrong about this one?

Please note, I'm not saying that the Hiroshima case proves you wrong about the photo. Heck, for all I know the photo is proof that the McClatchey photograph is a fraud. The problem is that you're just pointing to the evidence and saying "see, it's obvious" without saying how you've arrived at your position. If all you've got is "my gut tells me its obvious" then all you've got is what you've always shown yourself to have throughout all these pages: nothing.

Looks like he's starting to implode, guys. Keep up the good work.

Now. Killtown. You're trying to achieve synchronicity between your use of photographs and ours, but the points we're making are different so your parallel is not apt.

Your attempt to use a photo of a B-52 crashing at a different angle, different speed, carrying 4-5x more fuel to illustrate a hypothetical blast where fuel spilled rather than atomized just didn't.....Fly.

My purpose is to simply show that Aircrash in close proximity to Grass or Snow doesn't always mean the Burnng of Grass or the Melting of Snow.

Your use of photos was to draw together a collection of diverse elements to illustrate a specific point and was flawed.

My use of photos is to point out a general fact that planes crash sometimes and the stuff around them doesn't always get cooked.

Now move on. What else have you got?

Answer Dr. Richard's question. Which of the three in his example do you feel most represents what happened in Shanksville?

[Killtown]

If you really believe that then you haven't been reading. Now. What have you got besides,

"The cloud just LOOKS too big," and "The grass LOOKS too green?"
Prove YOUR theory.

You are the one making the claim. You are claiming that no fireball with characteristics within the estimated parameters could have occurred without burning the grass. Prove it. Using a picture is not proof.

Well show me YOUR fireball then. It's up to YOU guys to prove YOUR claims.

You do.
And the preponderence of evidence in no way supports your conjecture.

[chran]

Your MINIMUM fireball size would have burned a LARGE area of grass around the crater!!! It would?

Please provide proof.

And no, don't show me that *********** B-52 again.

[Yoink]

:jaw-dropp Killtown, I wonder if you could give us a rough estimate of how many times we would need to repeat to you that WE. DO. NOT. HAVE. A. THEORY. before it might begin to sink in? 1000? 40,000? 1,000,000?

YOU have a theory. You think that the McClatchey photograph is fraudulent. Your evidence for this is, in toto: "It doesn't look right to me." (Did I miss anything out from your complex argument?)

Now, please provide some proof for your theory, or we will have to reject it. In rejecting your theory, we are not "voting for" any other theory, we are simply saying that your theory has been proven to be inadequate.

Hopeless, pitifully, shamefully inadequate.

[fsol]

I'm close to heading out, so I leave it to others to carry on the argument. I'm sure you know where I'm going with this (it's all cake, after all).

Google images could also find some good photos to illustrate the "grenade trench" idea, I'm sure.

I wonder if killtown thinks it possible to snuff out a candle flame with your bare fingers without getting burnt? Because candle flames have a peak temperature of about 1400C afterall and that is fairly warm...

[Buckwheatjones]

Prove YOUR theory.

Well. I provided photos for anyone with eyes to see. Makes little difference to me if you buy into it or not.

Anybody else on here can see that when planes crash, the ground around them doesn't always burn up. You can't figure that out, I guess that's just where you are in life. Sun rise in the west for you, too?

[Dog Town]

One thing I am sure of now! KC has never tried to build a fire!

[Yoink]

KT, please try to read the following:

"The fireball created in the epicenter of the explosion is warmed up to a high temperature. The increased pressure expands it and the buoyancy force pushes it upward. Fission products (e.g. 90Sr) being inside of the fireball are also lifted to high altitudes. The air under the fireball cools down and it becomes compressed under the atmospheric pressure around. Thus, the stem of the nuclear mushroom is created, and the air is sucked into its bottom. This air rises above the fireball, cools down and sinks forming the convective cells, which look like a cap of a mushroom."

It's from here (http://deposit.ddb.de/cgi-bin/dokserv?idn=967546427&dok_var=d1&dok_ext=pdf&filename=967546427.pdf) (a pdf file, I warn you). It is describing a nuclear explosion, to be sure, but it describes precisely the "cool air beneath hot, rising fireball" mechanism that I hypothesized before.

Unless you want us to continue to think you are a complete coward give me your reasons for dismissing the hypothesis that this is what happened in the case of Flight 93. (No, not that an atomic bomb went off--I don't want a stupid flippant answer: tell me why a similar effect could not have happened from aerosolized fuel ignited by the crash of Flight 93)? Or are you too scared to actually defend your "argument"?

[davefoc]

Is there a brief summary of this thread someplace in the 51 pages?

If not could somebody summarize killtown's theory and what the opposing view is?

From what I can tell somebody allegedly took a picture of smoke emanating from the flight 93 crash.

The center of the smoke column (derived by taking into account the white and red barns) isn't exactly on top of the hole caused by the flight 93 crash.

In addition there has been a claim that the look of the smoke is not right for an airplane crash.

So Killtown believes the photo was faked? For what purpose does Killtown believe the photo was faked?

No doubt I am confused, please feel free to mock me for that or my laziness in not going through the preceding 51 pages to develop a better understanding of this thread. And, as always, please feel free to mock me for any spelling or grammatical errors.

[Yoink]

Yes you guys do. Your THEORY is that Val's plume was caused by 93 crashing.

Sigh. That is not our "theory." That is our "null hypothesis." For the moment, that is the only thing that we have any evidence available to suggest. We do not hold that this has been "proven" to be the case, we hold simply that nothing we have so far seen is inconsistent with this being the case.

Certainly your obsessive posting of that photo of a slow-speed crash of a B-52 is not changing anybody's mind about anything. It just keeps proving over, and over, and over, and over again that you wouldn't be able to make the debate team at the Special Olympics.

Davefoc, if you haven't followed this from the beginning, believe me, it's not worth your while getting into it now. I'm honestly not sure why I'm still persisting. I think it's that weird frustration you have when you're dealing with a malfunctioning computer or something. You know it is supposed to do X when you push that button, but it just won't. You keep pushing the button anyway, stupidly assuming that eventually it will do what it is supposed to do.

Similarly, I keep thinking "even Killtown can't be that obtuse, even he must eventually realize that he has made not one single substantive argument in this entire thread"--but he just keeps on coming back with his blue-screen-of-death-ultra-stupidity: "I pwned you, you can't deal with my B-52 Kung-Fu! Now I'll show you my photoshopped version, Crane Style! Hi-ya!"

I guess it's the weird fascination that someone can be intelligent enough to write in (mostly) complete sentences, but so monumentally incapable of following even the most simple precepts of argumentative logic.

Why are you afraid to talk about the crash? Why are you afraid to answer some questions?

If you put your hand into something that was 450 degrees, would you get burned?

If you put a piece of paper inside/against something that was 450 degrees, would it catch fire?

If you touched a blade of dry grass with something at, say, 600 degrees, would it always catch fire?

Are you familiar with a "grenade trench" inside a military bunker?

Or are you afraid because you don't understand where I'm going with this, because you don't have even a basic understanding of the dynamics of heat and temperature?


C'mon, Deadburg, just four yes or no questions and we all know how much you like asking questions.

Killtown, your "looks like" standard for crash forensics is not, perhaps, quite as rigorous as we need. The moon "looks like" a balloon--that doesn't mean that the moon is a balloon.

The first photograph certainly shows a fast moving plane crash. Please notice where the bulk of the fireball is situated with reference to the impact point. Please also look at this photograph (http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/evidence/photos/docs/40secondsafter_plane.jpg). Now explain to me why, on your theory, the outer skin of the WTC shows no signs of blackening or smoke damage below the impact point. You know that there was an explosion there, you claim that all explosions must burn everything directly below them, so how is this not a counter-instance?

He's creating a strawman arguement. Your guys estimated fireball WOULD NOT BE CONSISTENT to the photo graphic evidence of the crash scene. PERIOD.

Or that the plane was intact when it hit the ground?

Or that the fuel spead onto the ground and then ignited?

Or that the fuel was not aerosolised first, thrown into the air and then ignited?

Or that the fireball did not behave as Yoink posted?

etc

etc


The problem is that Killtown still thinks we have a theory we have to prove, rather than proving anything himself.

His whole argument is one of personal incredulity with not one shred of real evidence.

I admit I was wrong when I thought he had some genuine maths that he thought proved his case.

From experience with the ID brigade, once you get to the "but I cannot see how it could have happened, so it didn't" level of non-debate, there is no way of changing someone's mind.

I suspect this is due to an inherent defect in the one advancing the argument from ignorance.

Give us some kind of argument to support this claim. You could say "macaroni WOULD NOT BE CONSISTENT with cheese" but it wouldn't make it so, would it? What gives you reason to think that the minimum estimated fireball is inconsistent with the unburnt grass observed at the crash scene? If I said that the unscorched side of the WTC building in the photo I linked to is INCONSISTENT with a fireball-explosion having occurred there shortly before, would you say that I was right and discount the photographic evidence that we have of that explosion? Or would you say "well, we need to know more about the nature of such explosions"? Why?

This is the fireball you prefer--the one you think is exactly the same as the B-52 one. Notice again--immedately after the fireball disperses--that there is substantial blackening on the building ABOVE the exit hole in the building, but no blackening below. Please give us your theory that explains this. Or tell us if you now hold these photos also to be photoshopped?

Point 1. You have not answered the question. Please do so.

Point 2. Why did you not laugh at the other questions?

[Dr Richard]

I'm going to take issue with the observation that half the fuel would be buried into the ground. I don't think this is right. The percentage of what went up as opposed to down is going to be far higher in favor of aerosolization.

Here's why:

http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.757.org.uk/systems/images/tanks.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.757.org.uk/systems/sys1.html&h=404&w=700&sz=38&tbnid=Nsg6lwGjBecLGM:&tbnh=81&tbnw=140&hl=en&start=1&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dfuel%2Btanks%2B757%26nojs%3D1%26svnum %3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8

I hope that ridculously long link works because it shows the fuel tank layout for the 757. As you can see most of the fuel is carried in the wings. The center tank's girth expands out past the wingroots almost to the engine nacelles. When the plane hit, I would think the first thing to go would be the wings and the gas. They're going to overstress and snap off right away rather than get buried into the ground. As for the centerline tank, it's going to going to rupture on either side of the roots when the wings go, and send the gas the same way as everything else. Up.

In particular, if you can stop laughing, what is your argument against this post? You never laughed or commented on it previously.

[Dr Richard]

Good points. I was thinking about that, which was the only thing that kept me from being firm on a 50% figure. So 70% would be a not-unrealistic average; a sphere centered 20m or so above the ground, at the point where the wings snap off and the tanks rupture. I'll go with that :)

Also never laughed at this.

Or objected to it.

Now, please answer the questions.

[gumboot]

Do we know from what direction the impact occurred?

According to the FDR the aircraft's heading was 180 degrees, so directly south. Which means it impacted from the north. Bear in mind it was in a 150 degree turn to starboard so it was probably more of a NW approach.

When he does, you can always talk about temperature gradients in aerosolised burning jet fuel clouds that are being blown away from the crash site area in question by winds of up to 25knots.

P.S. have a look at this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb5c2GMq1Ms). Once again it's a youtube link, and we all know that all cutting edge plane crash forensics are based on youtube videos. You'll see that it's a slow-speed plane crash (your favorite kind) that leads to a massive fireball. Please note towards the end of the clip that we see firefighters fighting the fire on the plane. Please notice that the grass goes all the way up to the plane--even to the rear end of the plane, which we had seen engulfed in flames very like your B-52 flames not long before. Hmmmmmm. How do the FBI and the CIA and Mossad etc. get to fake Russian air crashes, Killtown? Or is this video also Val McClatchey's work?

Yes, interesting to note that this tends to confirm the idea of a fireball that rose rapidly and did little burning at ground level (perhaps because of the underdraft theory I've suggested--perhaps for some other reason). The higher things (trees) are badly burned in the area where the fireball would have "blossomed" (so to speak), the ground in the corresponding area opposite that burned semi-circle of trees doesn't seem necessarily heavily burned (though it is hard to tell from this photo).

In any case, this photo dispels any remaining mystery as to the unburned grass stems in KT's photo--it's clear the fireball developed ahead of the crash site. One more nail in the coffin of KT's long-dead argument.

Ok...Put on your CT hat (it's the one made of tinfoil, over there in the corner)...go ahead now and put it on.

Tell me what in that link proves the story is a disinfo plant by the perps.

I think you are correct by saying this. The fireball actually happened just to the south of the impact crater. As has been said before the angle of the impact allowed the fuel to be scattered in the direction of the flight path, causing the woods and grass to catch fire beyond the crater.

This thread is hard to keep up with, but I think it's time that I get back to my point about where the dirt from the crater ended up.

Has everyone seen Sandia Labs' test of crashing an F-4 into a concrete wall at 480 mph?

Here's a hi-res photo (2.1 MB) (http://www.sandia.gov/images2005/f4_image3.jpg)
Here's a lower-res photo of the same thing. (http://911review.com/errors/pentagon/imgs/f4_3.jpg)

See that blast of very small debris coming out of the crash? Some of that is pulverized concrete, some of it is airplane pieces. Even though the motion of the plane was into the wall, there is still a large amount of debris blasted away from the wall, back in the direction that the plane came from. In fact, just about every ounce of the plane would have been blasted backwards, some at very high speed. And fuel onboard (there was no fuel in this test) would have been carried with the blast debris, back in the direction the plane came from.

Now the wall that it hit is harder than the ground was in Pennsylvania, but at 500 mph, the ground still didn't "give" very much. There would be a large amount of debris blasted up out of the ground, and most of the plane pieces, and much of the fuel, would be in that blast (not a blast due to fuel exploding, just due to the kinetic energy as in the F-4 test). The plane would be ripped to shreds and scattered in the surrounding area, as you can see from the debris around the crater, and the debris that covered the house and garage. The fuel that got entrained in this blast would have quickly mixed with the air, providing for a quick burn (not at all like the B-52 crash), and a burn that was up off the ground, in the surrounding air. The fact that it would have burned quickly, then rose, is consistent with the neaby grass that's not scorched.

And that's where the dirt from the crater went - it was blasted out by the impact, and is scattered, with the plane debris, in the surrounding area.

[Gravy]

All done then, Killtown?

Your conclusion, after 60 pages, is that you guess that flight 93's fireball should have looked like a slow-speed B-52 crash, and that you guess that flight 93's fireball should have burned the grass behind the direction of its 580 mph impact.

You've obviously been hard at work. Please show the calculations that support your guesses.

Remind us all again what your "experiment" consisted of? Oh, I don't mean again. Tell us for the first time.

Of course, none of that matters at all in terms of you accusing Val McClatchey of fraud. Because,

1) You already admitted that the plane crashed there. Remember goading us to observe the wing and tail impressions?

2) Since your only criterion for Val McClatchey's guilt was if the photo was digitally altered, and you have never done an analysis to determine that, you need to do the only decent thing and apologize to that 9/11 victim who you have deliberately harmed without cause.

Will you apologize to Val McClatchey immediately, and retract your statements about her on your websites?

Now that we're done. I request that you answer my questions about the eyewitness accounts of the crash, as you said you would, as well as the question about why feces on the graves of flight 93 victims is funny.

You're not going to be a coward about that, as you were when you promised answer my questions, then ran away with your tail beneath your legs when I asked them, are you?

You haven't done so yet, but you still have a chance to show a shred of decency and credibility.

If you are going to contend that this could not possibly happen, you'd better consult a physicist to make sure that that it could not before you make that claim. If the aluminum in an airplane hitting the ground comes apart and goes back up into the air as debris, don't you think the fuel is going to travel in the same direction in little bitty particles?

Nothing scattered around the crater. Only in and around the forest section.

And the plane was said to have, oh how did they put it?...

"The fuselage burrowed straight into the earth so forcefully that one of the "black boxes" was recovered at a depth of 25 feet under the ground."

"The plane pitched, then rolled, belly up. It hit nose-first, like a lawn dart. It disintegrated, digging more than 30 feet into the earth, which was spongy from the old mine work."

"The remainder of the plane burrowed deep into the ground, creating a long, narrow crater."

"The strip mine is composed of very soft black soil, and searchers said much of the wreckage was found buried 20 to 25 feet below the large crater."

Please answer these statements with "true" or "false."

1) Your only published criterion for Val McClatchey's guilt was if the photo had been manipulated to insert the plume.

2) You did not have access to the original image.

3) You do not possess a high-resolution copy of the photo.

4) You have no basis for determining if the photo was digitally altered.

5) The FBI said the photo is authentic.

6) After 60 pages of instructions, advice, examples, math, physics, and even expert opinion, your conclusion about the size of the plume is based on your opinion that it should have looked like the crash of entirely different planes under entirely different circumstances.

7) If you were accused of a serious crime that you did not commit, you would prefer that your standards of proof be used against you, rather than the current U.S. legal standards.

8) You believe that a person should be considered innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

9) It is wrong to needlessly cause pain to people.

KillTown has no analytical skills, no knowledge of physics, no mathematical (even arithmetical) skills and, worst of all, no idea of his own limitations. So he looks at a picture and thinks "that looks funny - it can't be right". That's it. That is the sum total of his analysis. And, as noted, the worst part is that he cannot see how utterly pathetic the whole thing is.

I hope he goes away soon.

Approx area of C-H-J: 1/2(b*h) => 1/2(96.67*122.68) = 5935.26 m^2
This is the approx burn area visible in the jpg. This area is all south and east of the crater. This is consistent with the impact direction of NW->SE

Crater area in picture and Google Earth has a diameter of ~23.5 m.
Approx area of crater = 2pi*r^2 => 2*pi*(1/2*23.5)^2 => 2*pi*11.75^2 = 2*pi*138.0625 = 867.47 m^2

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/ArkanWolfshade/Shanksville_Burn_area.jpg

Given a maximum estimated plume horizontal diameter of 606.33 m, the approx area the plume would cover = 2pi*r^2 => 2*pi*(1/2*303.16)^2 => 2*pi*151.58^2 => 2*pi*22976.4964 = 144365.58 m^2

Now. We have an aircraft coming from the NWN impacting at a 40 degree angle. The crater expands S-SE-E from the point of impact to do the angle of attack; damaging an area ~867.47 m^2 in size. Continuing outward on a S-SE-E direction is an area of burning covering an additional 5067.79 m^2 (burn area of 5935.26 m^2 - crater area of 867.47 m^2)

Now, KT, what you utterly fail to do on your diagram (well, besides show any work) is highlight what the burn area was, for a sense of scale. I've taken the liberty of doing so for you:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/ArkanWolfshade/shanks-plume-traj_Plus_burn_area.gif

To summarize:
1) a) The burn area is consistent with relation to the crater, the direction of impact, and the wind direction.
1) b) Given that the impact was at a 40 degree angle, it is reasonable to expect the burn area to be non-symmetric. This is consistent with the evidence.
1) c) Unless there was fuel on the surface of the grass, and thus igniting the grass via direct flame; the temperature of the fireball is insufficient to spontaneously ignite the grass.
1) d) Given 1c, we would expect grass to be burnt in the direction that the fuel from the ruptured tanks would travel, from NW to SE. This is consistent with the evidence.
1) e) Examples have been provided earlier in this thread showing that, even a jet fuel fire, burning on a stationary fuselage, will not necessarily damage vegetation in the immediate vicinity of the wreckage.
2) The debris field is consistent with relation to the creater, the direction of impact, and the wind direction.
3) The crater, burn area, and debris field are within the angle of view of the picture.

If you choose to address these points, do so using the same level of transparency and detail. If, instead you want to use pictures and your opinion on said pictures, then let me preemptively say stfu.

1 a) Wrong, the burnt forest section is at an inconsistent angle.

Saying "[w]rong" is not evidence. Provide evidence or retract this claim.


b) "40 deg" is reported. they can report anything, doctor graphs, etc.
the crater looks as if it was a "nearly 90 deg" dive than a 40 deg, or there would be "ripples" of dirt around the SE part of the crater where the plane moved the dirt underneath.

If you feel the 40 degree is erroneous then provide evidence showing such. Saying "looks as if" or "there would be" (without substantiating evidence) is not evidence supporting your claim. Provide evidence or retract this claim.


c) fuel SHOULD HAVE BEEN on the grass outside the crater unless it went underground

The ground in my area marked as burned shows this. For the other areas around the crater where the fuel would not have spilled, the fireball itself would have likely been insufficient to spontaneously ignite the grass.

(lower left corner is where the jet fuel should have scorched if the fuel spilled in the trajectory direction.)

It has already been determined from the FDR that the plane impacted from a NWN direction, which means the ejected material would travel SES. The picture you provide has no indication of orientation. This makes it quite difficult to assertain if it is consistent with our expectations. Additionally, the low-res quality of the image will cause data loss.

It means, based upon my revised image, that the smoke plume didn't have to drift off of the crater, only that it had to form asymmetrically to appear as it does in the picture. Given the wind direction that day, it is consistent with the picture.

THAT'S his analysis?

Large pieces should be left, regardless of speed of impact?

Okay then.

580 mph equates to 850 feet/second. This is comparable to the muzzle velocity of a pistol. Flight 93 hit the ground at a rate of speed higher than the muzzle velocity of a .45 caliber round.

It's not uncommon for a solid lead, copper jacketed .45 caliber round to fragment upon impact, even with softer ground. Now imagine if the bullet, instead of being solid, was a framework of aluminum covered with with a thin skin.

Still think there should be large pieces?

1 a) Wrong, the burnt forest section is at an inconsistent angle.
False. You neglect to consider the large scorched area and debris scatter in the field. You see broken and charred trees and assume that was the only area affected by the fireball. You are dead wrong, as I've already demonstrated.

b) "40 deg" is reported. they can report anything, doctor graphs, etc. the crater looks as if it was a "nearly 90 deg" dive than a 40 deg, or there would be "ripples" of dirt around the SE part of the crater where the plane moved the dirt underneath.
Your evidence that the FDR data was tampered with?

90 degrees? Then why is nearly all of the debris scattered in one direction?

There is a large mound of dirt in the direction of travel. There is no such mound in the opposite direction. Again, you are dead wrong.

The grass and dirt is charred over a wide area in the direction of travel. as I've already demonstrated. Stop lying.

Time to be a man and face the tough questions, Killtown. This will only take you a minute or two. No excuses. No shirking your responsibility to the victims you've deliberately harmed.


Please answer these statements with "true" or "false."

1) Your only published criterion for Val McClatchey's guilt was if the photo had been manipulated to insert the plume.

2) You did not have access to the original image.

3) You do not possess a high-resolution copy of the photo.

4) You have no basis for determining if the photo was digitally altered.

5) The FBI said the photo is authentic.

6) After 60 pages of instructions, advice, examples, math, physics, and even expert opinion, your conclusion about the size of the plume is based on your opinion that it should have looked like the crash of entirely different planes under entirely different circumstances.

7) If you were accused of a serious crime that you did not commit, you would prefer that your standards of proof be used against you, rather than the current U.S. legal standards.

8) You believe that a person should be considered innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Killtown got that from that whacko who thinks that burning a cup of kerosene in a rabbit cage for 10 minutes and then photographing his foot on top of it is scientific proof that the WTC towers could not possibly have been brought down by large airplanes crashing into them and the subsequent damage and fires.

I kid you not.

[Hellbound]

Besides, Killtown, you're missing a big part of what we were saying.

Show me one place where we claimed the fireball had to be "hot". We argued that it could have been, which is true, but not that it had to be. In any case, none of us are experts, and our estimates were guesses (as we repeatedly tried to tell you).

Also the fireball size we gave a range on, and you insist on using the high end of the range we produced. Most of us agreed it could well be on the low end of that.

IN any case, assuming the fuel was aerosolized into the air on impact (as we've contended would happen), read a bit from the wiki article on Thermobaric weapons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermobaric)
Fuel-air explosives disperse an aerosol cloud of fuel which is ignited by an embedded detonator to produce an explosion. The rapidly expanding wave front due to overpressure flattens all objects within close proximity of the epicenter of the aerosol fuel cloud, and produces debilitating damage well beyond the flattened area. The main destructive force of FAE is high pressure. More importantly, the duration of the overpressure gives it an edge over conventional explosives and makes fuel-air explosives useful against soft targets such as minefields, armored vehicles, aircraft parked in the open, and bunkers.

High pressure. Not heat.

Vapor cloud explosion modeling historically has been subject to large uncertainties resulting from inadequate understanding of deflagrative effects. According to current single-degree of freedom models, blast damage/injury can be represented by Pressure-Impulse (P-I) diagrams, which include the effects of overpressure, dynamic pressure, impulse, and pulse duration. The peak overpressure and duration are used to calculate the impulse from shock waves. Even some advanced explosion models ignore the effects of blast wave reflection off structures, which can produce misleading results over- or under-estimating the vulnerability of a structure. Sophisticated software used to produce three-dimensional models of the effects of vapor cloud explosions allows the evaluation of damage experienced by each structure within a facility as a result of a primary explosion and any accompanying secondary explosions produced by vapor clouds.

And this is what we've been trying to point out since you started your "experiment", which contained a total of 0 calculations, 0 formulas, 0 applied physics, and 0 knowledge. You just had us make some guesses (which we acknowledged as such) and made your own assumptions.

[LashL]

THIS is what we've been dealing with for two weeks? The guy who drew this thing is is the same guy we've been taking seriously for so long? I'm sorry. The only time I've ever seen imagery of an air crash, the pieces are scattered all around like busted china. I can't recall ever seeing them unscrew a fuselage out of the ground that looked like a giant accordion, except in CartoonWorld.

What sort of idiot could possibly think that a plane hitting the ground would not shed its wings immediately, but rather, that they would burrow themselves into the earth? They would have to be made of cast iron.

Gentlemen, I suggest we all step back and reconsider a few things. A boy who draws a cartoon like that as a serious effort to portray what happened at Shanksville, not just for the coloring book qualities of the sketch, but for the Looney Toon aspect of what happens to an airplane when it hits the ground, is a buffoon. Pure. Simple. We are going round and round the tree of reason, logic and science with a primate that has a bad theory in one hand, a banana in the other, and an armored skull three feet thick.

He came on here to persuade in his favor and has miserably, miserably failed. He has been shown over and over again that his theory is riddled with holes, and is either too impaired or too obstinant to admit when he is beaten.

Well, gentlemen. He has been beaten. The Tote Board shows he has been mopped up by a vote of 92%. No one here is buying his Load, but in his own mind he has "blown us away" with his inherently ridiculous cartoon and ideas. It doesn't matter if the rest of us are on here or not (recall the ignore list), because he is not listening to anybody but himself.

Trying to make killtown accept that his theory is bad is like trying to teach a duck to speak English. Neither is likely to happen. Ever. I am waiting for some figures to come in and when they do I'm going to post them and go.

That cartoon....I can't believe that freakin' cartoon.

If KT is going to just keep sticking his fingers in his ears and going "la la la la la la la I can't heaaaaar you" in the face of stunningly detailed work like Arkan_Wolfshade's there's simply no hope. He's going to continue with his shameful lies no matter what.

One question, though, for Killtown before I go: you've clearly faced some extremely carefully thought-out objections to your argument on this thread. You appear to think that you have vanquished them with your argument. Don't you think you should provide a prominent link to this thread on your website, then? You know--if you really believe that you have disproven our arguments, wouldn't you like people who visit your blog to see that even powerful skeptical minds like those at the JREF site are incapable (in your view) of knocking holes in your theory?

If you don't put up such a link, of course, it will be proof that you are A) aware in your heart of hearts that your theory got demolished over and over and over again and B) that you are a cowardly little weasel.

Bye bye, Killtown. Remember, one day you will hang your head in shame at your behaviour throughout this whole affair. For you sake, I hope that day comes sooner rather than later.

I've followed this thread since it started and I would just like you commend you all (except Killtown) on you knowledge, logic, and your patience. Frankly I'm sickened by Killtown's beliefs. I'm just so tired of all of these 9/11 conspiracy theories. I have several family members who believe them. They remind me of my son in first grade, doing math "my way". It took forever to make him understand that his way was the wrong way.

But that was all for naught once his brain snapped and he reverted to his LAPI mode.

ETA: I mean, Killtown. Skipped a part, there!

Lady, eh ? Welcome, then!

Sorry to be somewhat sarcastic, but am I right in guessing, that there is no evidence that the Killtown on this thread was replaced by a Government Agent to discredit the 'Truth' movement by proposing nonsense.

But then, Govenment Agents only operate on 'Truth' movement boards, don't they....

Thanks very much for the thoughtful post. I think one element I, (and maybe for some of the others) am here is to eradicate any doubt about this. It's not nearly so important to get killtown to face up to the truth as it is to appeal to other readers on here that he's wrong and the conspiracy theory re: Flt 93 is not particularly credible. In fact the more outrageous his claims get, the more he makes the point for us. It's good to know that some people reading on here, such as yourself, can pick up on this and easily separate the wheat from the chaff.

Thanks again.

Maybe I could draw a sketch showing smaller pieces spreading around in the direction of the plane's trajectory. Maybe that'll help him out.

ETA: And I also notice Killtown thinks planes are either made of cardboard or adamantium.

I'd assume cardboard. Otherwise they'd be too heavy to stay in the air. And no, boats aren't made of metal either.

Oh for eff's sake. FINE! Yes, I offed Killtown and replaced him.... Well okay, "off" is a bit harsh. I just abducted him, tied him up in the basement and haven't fed him in two and a half months. So... he's probably at least a little light-headed by now.

Damn, you guys are good. Forced me to Valerie Plame myself.

Kudos!

[Arkan_Wolfshade]

Thanks all for the kind words, but all I've been doing is building upon what others have already done the legwork on. I'm just greatful that we have the minds that we do here at JREF so I can learn something.

[TxLady]

Thank you for the nice welcome. Buck, I really appreciate what you're trying to do. I wish I could get some of my family to read this thread but at this point, I know they wouldn't even if I asked them to. They want to believe in these things for some reason. I research as much as I can so that if the subject comes up, I might get a few words in. But recently, I don't get to talk at all, they start shouting immediately. I see the same behavior by CT'ist on the internet.

TxLady, if you want shouting, next time you're in NYC, make a little pilgrimage to the WTC site some Saturday afternoon. And bring a video camera.

[Dog Town]

This has never been an experiment! Well, not on KC's part! It seems to me that it all boils down to KC's nonsense that he has directed towards Val. I won't lie. The first time I saw that pic, I thought it could have been fake, for severeal reasons! The diff is, I knew that I didn't know all the variables involved. KC has been shown upclose he knows even less. His belief is all he has, no facts. None of us will ever know if that pic is real for sure w/out being able to investigate the original,or a high res copy! But by doing real reseach and math you can atleast show that it is possible , if not likely. K Clown it is time to be a man! APOLOGISE TO VAL!!!!!!

You might want to bookmark some of the work ARkan did on the previous page, I think it was. Guys like him, Dr. Richard, Gumboot, Gravy, Yoink (and the list goes on and on) have really done a lot of the heavy lifting here.

Realitybites, I'm positive you're right about that. I'd actually love to do that sometime, I've never been to NYC. But I've seen the pictures of Gravy and Abby there and what they had to deal with.
Dog Town, I agree. I never saw this as a serious experiment. It's reminded me throughout of my now 18 yo son trying to convince me of something. He loves to debate, but the end result he wants is for me to agree with him. If I don't, something is wrong with my reasoning. He's never wrong. lol
Killtown, please apologise to Val!

[jhunter1163]

TxLady:

If you haven't looked at Gravy's "Loose Change Viewer's Guide", you should do so, and have any members of your family who aren't too far gone look at it too. It's a comprehensive, point-by-point destruction of every theory presented in the movie. It's long but well worth the read.

I think Gravy posted an image of me with them there that same day. I foolishly approved said image before viewing it.

Yes, I've read the Loose Change Viewer's Guide and watched all of the Screw Loose Change videos. I've bookmarked every site I've found so far from here and from Screw Loose Change.
Since the family members who believe these things are my mother and sister (along with her entire family) there isn't much I can do to get them to look at this. I've tried before and they don't want to hear it. I wouldn't count them as truly deep into the conspiracy theories, just misinformed and unwilling to find out what the truth really is. They aren't very internet savy and would rather listen to rumors.

I'm skeptical of your ability to count.

Why don't you post your estimate, and we can proceed with an experiment, k ?

[SezMe]

Earlier:
Yes, Killtown, I did say I expected more burning than that shown in your picture. But then Gravy and others cited EVIDENCE that such burning would not necessarily be the case. azaal (sp?) in particular, linked to a very telling picture showing portions of a downed plane sitting in undisturbed, green grass.

This EVIDENCE convinced me that my expectations were wrong. Or, let me put it more baldly: I was wrong. By the evidence. I learned. I changed my opinion.

Got the program, Killtown? Now, tell me something about the crash that you have learned from this discussion.

[KingMerv00]

Wow...a MILLION times huh?

(I'm guessing this was a clever joke. I'm just pointing it out.)

[Killtown]

No.

Higher altitude means thinner air. Thinner air means distant features (especially large ones) appear much closer.

-Andrew
"appear" much closer. I PROVED the distance of it and that the plume HAD to be about 670m/2200ft across.

[Dog Town]

Game On!

[CurtC]

I PROVED the distance of it and that the plume HAD to be about 670m/2200ft across.
I must have missed that proof, that or your definition of "proof" is wildly different from mine.

I measured it carefully on Google Earth, and it looks like, based on my guess of how far away the cloud likely is, that it would be right around 600 m wide. However, I noted that the width you measure depends on how far away you assume it to be. How far away you assume it to be is dependent on assumptions about the wind speed at that height, and especially the time between the crash and the photo.

We don't know the time at all, so the only thing I can say with confidence is that the cloud is very probably less than 650 m wide.

So what is your proof?

They aren't very internet savy and would rather listen to rumors.You might try this experiment:

Casually mention that there is a group of people who believe the Earth is flat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Earth_Society). If a relative of yours skoffs (let's hope!), ask them why. Then gently move them through the process of belief vs. evidence.

If you need to burst their 9/11 "inside job" bubble directly, there are ways to do that, too. But it's more effective for your student to do the work of discovering logic themselves that they might better retain the method.

Welcome to the forum.

[Killtown]

1) Provide evidence and/or logical reasoning or retract this claim.
2) I made it very clear with image I was dealing with
3) Saying "[w]rong" is not evidence. Provide evidence or retract this claim.
4) If you feel the 40 degree is erroneous then provide evidence showing such. Saying "looks as if" or "there would be" (without substantiating evidence) is not evidence supporting your claim. Provide evidence or retract this claim.
5) the fireball itself would have likely been insufficient to spontaneously ignite the grass.
6) You have intentionally chosen the lowest resolution picture available to support your claim. Allow me to report other pictures that show this one to be of sufficiently low resolution so as to cause loss of image quality:

7) The picture you provide has no indication of orientation. This makes it quite difficult to assertain if it is consistent with our expectations.
8) Please show where the other examples provided had to occur at a lower temperature.
9) Please provide corroborating evidence beyond a graphic to support this assertion.
10) It means, based upon my revised image, that the smoke plume didn't have to drift off of the crater, only that it had to form asymmetrically to appear as it does in the picture. Given the wind direction that day, it is consistent with the picture.

1) No, YOU made the claim first. YOU need to prove your claim.
2) Taking a photo out of context is lying.
3) I did with my Popular Mechanics map.
4) I did provide evidence and reasons why. I can't help it if that's not good enough for you (cause obviously NOTHING is good enough for skeptics.)
5) LoL!!!
6) Oh yeah, THOSE pics were much, much clearer. :rolleyes:
7) Look at the arrows.
8) :confused:
9) All of the crater and grass pics show no debris. Debris is only seen in forest pics.
10) It means your plume was NOT BIG ENOUGH to appear so big in Val's pic.

Holywood can make alot of things. But usually people get hired to do that, usually large crews of people, with permits from the city, and usually it takes more than a day to set up.

So how come when 9/11 unfolded and the images of the crash of flight 93 were broadcasted nobody said: "Didn't we do that? Pennsylvania? Hey, I think that's our work!"

How come nobody has spoken out? How come they built this crater without anyone noticing it in the neighbourhood?
