conulySomebody point out the flaws mihi and explain this clearly. Thanks.
Edit: The worst argument against a conspiracy theory:
Well, if it wasn't Flight 77, what happened to Flight 77?
Let's assume there's a conspiracy.
Now, are you telling me that this conspiracy couldn't create a flight 77 where none had been? Don't you remember that they originally thought as many as 8 planes had been hijacked? Don't you remember that the original death toll was much higher, as people tried to claim nonexistant family members as dead? It would be almost easy to go into the computers, add records for a nonexistant flight, and pay off people to cry about their poor dead family members. I mean, shit, this is a conspiracy, right? You think they couldn't do a little thing like that? Huh.
Now, I doubt there is a conspiracy. I don't think one of this scale could practically be carried out (too many people would have to keep quiet), and I don't think the Shrubboy is that smart. But if you believe in conspiracies, you have to disbelieve my two objections, in which case I should hope that the conspirators are smart enough to find a few more people who can keep quiet.

Date: 2004-10-21 10:36 am (UTC)That also struck me as odd. After we got evacuated I went down to the coffee shop with a few of my friends and listened to the news. For five hours. How I found out about the crash? My mom called one of my friend's phones after getting no answer at my apartment to ask me what section of pittsburgh the plane crashed in and if I was okay. I was like "Uhm, no plane crashed into pittsburgh...I'm drinking coffee across the street from the museum"
Apparently the media outside of here was saying a plane crashed into pittsburgh. Which makes some sense, because we were the nearest big city. But why the hell didn't we hear about it?
