The 4th Airliner Shot Down?
Somebody who claims to be from inside the Pentagon is saying an F16 shot down the airliner that crashed in Pennsylvania. Are there news reports of this? Also that a number of generals were killed in the Pentagon. Any news of this?

Witnesses said the plane healed over and nose dived into the ground. The military denies any shoot down.

It was a section undergoing refurbishing. Doubt there were many/any upity-ups. Least that's what all the news services I've seen are reporting. -- ____________________________________________________________________ natsugusa ya...tsuwamonodomo ga...yume no ato summer grass...those mighty warriors'...dream-tracks Matsuo Basho The Armadillo Group ,::////;::-.

There was a Pittsburgh TV station quoting eyewitnesses saying that the plane in Pennsylvania was shot down. (around noon PDT) The FAA has "firmly denied" this. -- -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software <mailto:marshall@idio.com> Hey! Who messed with my anti-paranoia shot?

There was also several eye witnesses that said the first tower was hit by a missile... Clearly these people don't have a clue of the size differential. I would be so bold to say that since the New York crash a few years ago that there will almost always be a witness that saw a 'missile'. -- ____________________________________________________________________ natsugusa ya...tsuwamonodomo ga...yume no ato summer grass...those mighty warriors'...dream-tracks Matsuo Basho The Armadillo Group ,::////;::-.

Thee is also a net.rumour (with Jerry Pournelle's name attached to it) that someone on the plane attacked the hijackers whilst someone else was phoning home & describing it. Or it could be that the pilot deliberately went for a relatively uninhabited area. No doubt there will be other rumours. Ken

There are a *lot* of generals in the Pentagon. Any attack that takes out hundreds of linear feet of the building is likely to kill some. As for the F16, could be disinformation. The Pittsburgh newspapers quote lots of eyewitnesses, but no mention of a missile: http://www.post-gazette.com/headlines/20010912somerscenenat4p3.asp Also, if you were a pilot held hostage and wanted to crash the plane somewhere, farmland that's a former coal mine would be a good bet. -Declan
