9 11 Again and Again

At least once a week someone in any number of rooms in Paltalks Social Issues section starts a convo about 9 11. I've posted what I witnessed that day on the blog before. The reason I am posting about it again is because I got frustrated during a hot and heavy discussion. Then when I tried to take the mic, Palktalk crashed. So here we go again.

I have mentioned before that Pittsburgh is 92 miles from Shanksville and some strange stuff happened here concerning Flight 93.

1. No one has ever answered this question for me - Why was the control tower at Pittsburgh's International Airport Evacuated 15 minutes before Flight 93 flew over? Want Proof?

Local officials rethink recently made plans to deal with terrorism

(Excerpted from full article)

It is clear from 911 tapes that local officials had less than 15 minutes' warning that the hijacked United Airlines Flight 93 was in Pittsburgh airspace before the plane crashed at 10:06 a.m. in Somerset County, killing all 44 people aboard.

Full learned about the errant plane at 9:53 a.m. That's when he got a call alerting him that the control tower at Pittsburgh International Airport had been evacuated. Thirteen minutes earlier, he had talked to an airport official who had no indication of any threat.

Between those two conversations, the Pittsburgh tower had received a call from the Cleveland air traffic control tower, saying a plane was heading toward Pittsburgh and refusing to communicate with controllers. The FAA ordered the Pittsburgh control tower evacuated at 9:49

2. I also find it strange that you never hear this mentioned.

A new debris site has been found this morning (Thursday) about 6 miles north of the crater where United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Considering that the majority of the debris at the primary crash site is confined to a 100 yard radius, it was a surprise to investigators when they found the second area. Debris from that secondary scene is small, but has been confirmed to come from the same airplane. Basically, this means that something fell off of the airplane before it crashed.

So there you go! Two important facts that people never talk about and none of it mentioned in the 9 11 congressional report.
