No Witnesses to Planes Hitting the WTC

After a year of experiencing the 9/11 fantasy movement in its various guises, I still retain my initial amazement at the lengths to which some people will go to create an alternate reality. Here is a determined, if deranged, attempt to show that nobody actually saw planes hit the Towers:

Please note that he seriously (?) contends that there were 117 people close enough to be witnesses. What could persuade such a person that there were thousands?

This guy can't be serious...?! There were 50,000 people in the buildings themselves. Not everyone who saw the plane can be interviewed on television for Christ's sake.

The odd thing, though, is that the Pentagon no-planers will also dismiss this guy as crazy, without seeing the irony.

How is a person raised up in such a way that all critical thinking and logic are just thrown out the door? Is it for attention purposes?

Sheesh....This one seems to be really out there. From this quote in his publication where he cites being enlightened by Dr. Wood, it's apparent that he's a "space beamer":

Quote:
For quite some time, I was convinced that the mechanism of the destruction of WTC 1 & 2 had to be similar to controlled demolition – it was the only thing that could account for the near free-fall time of “collapse”. However, I have since been enlightened through the results of Dr Wood’s study – the overall evidence does not support the idea that controlled demolition was the primary method of destruction of the towers. In examining the witness accounts, I found quite a few where the collapse was described as possibly like the sound of an approaching plane or rocket. For example, from the account of Faisel Abed (File No: 9110071):
Quote:
You just heard this thrushing, thrushing noise like a rocket. I thought the building was under attack again. You just start seeing this smoke coming down. We just took off. We went north. We actually -- sorry, we went west. We went towards the river. All right. Then we just went towards the river and went up north a little bit behind the building. That was after the first one went down.
He describes a continuous noise rather than lots of explosions going off. Let us not confuse this part of the account with those accounts of earlier explosions before the towers came down, rather than as they were coming down. The repeated sequence of timed explosions heard during a controlled demolition is very distinctive and none of the witness accounts I studied described hearing this sort of sound as the towers collapsed.
After reading that, I need a beer....no make that 6 or 7 beers....

Do any websites carry a decent list of witness accounts to the impacts on WTC.

HAd a troofer arguing that not a single person saw a plane hit the building.

At a couple of points in that essay I thought this guy was getting pretty close to the conclusion that the WTC never existed in the first place.

For debunkers, the lack of any sound of demolition charges going off is a pretty clear sign that the collapses happened naturally as the structure failed. For this guy, the lack of any sound of demolition charges going off is a pretty clear sign that laser guns from outer space did it.

Some Flight 11 witnesses here

Some Flight 175 witnesses here

They're mostly people who saw the planes, though I've also included one or two accounts from people who only heard something.

He's restricted himself to the accounts of the first responders, not all of whom were in a position to see the planes hit. He breezily dismisses the video evidence:

Quote:
Overall, I conclude the descriptions of planes given by the witnesses do not give one any more confidence than the video material, such as that presented in the September Clues series, that large planes hit the towers. With something as unique as 9/11, it was easy to “sell” people the plane stories in the midst of such a terrible tragedy.

What a muppet.

I've known the niece of an eyewitness since 1981/ 82... Known her since I was 3.

Her uncle (Paul Berriff) saw flight 175 crash into WTC2 with his own eyes. He was injured in the attack. He's also a film maker, though I doubt that truther's would be interested in his factual documentary about the firefighters, which does not promote conspiracy theories, but simply tells their story...

There were no witnesses, because all the witnesses who saw the plane are lying.

There is no evidence of a plane at all, because all that evidence was faked.

This would be simple to prove except all the real evidence has been covered-up, and why would there be a cover-up if there wasn't a conspiracy?

Dylan got particularly upset when Killtown relayed that sentiment during an on-air debate.

It was funny to hear one CTer telling another CTer that he's "got to back his statements up with fact". I got 2000% of my Recommended Daily Irony during that show.

I think that if you took those who believe there were no planes and those who believe the planes were remote-controlled and put them in the same room, both sides wouldn't come to any logical realization, except, maybe, each respective side would believe they are more right than the other.

I know people who saw at least one of the two planes hit the towers.

Some of the videotape of 175 hitting was that of normal people with videocameras.

Tens of thousands of people saw the plane in person. They are all in on it.

Which means they are all guilty, as charged, of witnessing an actual event.

Unfortunately, it is not misinformation. it is the belief of several of your respected members of the 911 denial movement.

Welcome to the forum.

Why must it be mis(dis?)information? Can't some people in the 'truth' movement be mentally unwell?

So does that mean you believe in remote controlled planes?

Or that the "hijackers" were US Black Ops on a suicide mission?

Or that rather than just shred evidence of knowing about the plot months before 9/11, perform a CD of WTC 7, where this evidence just so happened to be kept?

Which is it?

Let me guess what you will say: "I don't know, but I sure don't believe the OCT"

Welcome to the forums, apacherose.

Don't forget that, as mentioned above, there are many truthers (although their numbers seem to be dwindling) who don't think a plane hit the Pentagon or crashed in Pennsylvania. They are every bit as kooky as the WTC no-planers.

Please cut out the "misinformation" paranoia, and face the fact that some people are just stupid or cruel or delusional or all of the above.

Judy Wood, Uncle Fetzer, Morgan Reynolds and Killtown were all respected members of your movement at one time or another.

So what's the lesson here? Don't team up with lunatics and then act surprised when they say loony things.

Please cut out the "misinformation" paranoia, and face the fact that some people are just stupid or cruel or delusional or all of the above.

No, what you are has nothing to do with truth. You are a fantasist, and you inhabit a realm outside reason and logic. Please try to understand, however, that there are no "disinfo agents." It's just loons disagreeing with other loons.

A number of witnesses reported that they didn’t realize that the second impact was that of a plane – many of them “found out later”. This is in direct contradiction to those who reported to seeing plane parts, engine parts and landing gear.
I don't see the contadiction here - some see something, others don't.

If every Truther spouting kooky ideas is a Government disinfo agent,then about 90% of the Truth Movement are working For the Government.

And now you finally understand exactly how deep this conspiracy goes. By my count, it involves 6,626,284,768 people.

Anyone notice that the site has a response to this thread?

pomeroo After a year of experiencing the 9/11 fantasy movement in its various guises, I still retain my initial amazement at the lengths to which some people will go to create an alternate reality. Here is a determined, if deranged, attempt to show that nobody actually saw planes hit the Towers:

http://www.checktheevidence.co.uk/cm...=134&Itemid=60

Please note that he seriously (?) contends that there were 117 people close enough to be witnesses. What could persuade such a person that there were thousands?

Is this study above really "deranged"? The anonymous (as usual) person making this post takes the figure out of context and does not explain how the figure was determined. Nor does he discuss the quoted witness sample size of 291. A "deranged MS-Access Query"? Hmmm

Quad4_72 : How is a person raised up in such a way that all critical thinking and logic are just thrown out the door? Is it for attention purposes?

Never mind how I was raised (a little about which can be found if you poke round here) - what about the actual evidence? Critical thinking? Shouldn't it be based on criticising the evidence?

buka001 : Do any websites carry a decent list of witness accounts to the impacts on WTC.

HAd a troofer arguing that not a single person saw a plane hit the building.


This friendly critical thinker clearly didn't reach the table at the bottom, which contains a link to the report - which contains a table of witness account portions in the appendix - and a link to a zip file with all the accounts. If you want to find the truth, you actually have to work to dig it out, not just expect someone else to summarise it for you.

I hope that Mr James Randi is proud of the quality of friendly critical thinkers his forum attracts. For me, it's very educational - I hope that it is educational for others too!
