The final minutes

Various voices within the so-called 9/11 "Truth Movement" have espoused scenarios I consider foolish. But the final minutes of United Flight 93 are truly puzzling.

In 2002, relatives of the victims were allowed to listen to the cockpit recordings. According to the Phildelphia Daily News, they heard sounds of a struggle at 9:58 a.m. There was a final "rushing sound" at 10:03. Then silence. The plane hit the ground at 10:06.

In 2006, the same recording was played at the Moussaoui trial -- except now, the scenario was quite different.
Three minutes after 10 a.m., passengers seem to be breaking through the cockpit door, fighting with the hijackers in a futile effort to take back the throttle. "Go! Go!" they encourage one another. "Move! Move!" But the terrorists have flipped the plane upside down. They spin it downward.

"Shall we finish it off?" a hijacker asks in Arabic.

In its final plunge, the hijackers shout over and over in Arabic: "Allah is the greatest! Allah is the greatest!"

The tape ends.
We do not know, from this account, precisely when the tape ends. If it ends at the 10:03 mark, then what happened during the next three minutes? If the struggle and the chanting are heard between 10:03 and 10:06, then why was silence heard in 2002?

Mr. Cannon,

I've got to commend you on this post.

I believe that the main reason that more people don't begin to comprehend how much deceit has been practiced (by our own govt. personnel) is that their minds can simply not comprehend Americans betraying their fellow citizens so completely.

As always, I recommend everyone pick up a copy of Webster Trapley's "9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in the USA."

I believe one can multiply this kind of "hole in the story" by 1000 and one begins to approximate the many lies from the FBI, the 9/11 Commission, and others.

What about the widely reported claim that debris from United 93 was spread over several miles, indicating an in-air explosion, i.e., the plane was shot down, rather than brought down by the passengers.

Did these "facts" simply vanish from the public record, or were they never substantiated?
