From her introduction:<br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em><br>The biggest evidence of government complicity in the events of 9/11/01 is the stand down of air and missile defense systems. Only NORAD could have ordered that stand down. Researchers who are serious about interesting the public in an analysis of who was behind 9/11, should concentrate on putting before the public the obvious evidence, not unsubstantiated work. Our research has to be responsible and citations must be thoroughly checked and listed with observations and pictures. Otherwise the public will quickly tire of talking to us. </em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>Also, some thoughts from <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.pressaction.com/news/weblog/full_article/mickeyz12062004/">Sander Hicks</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>You had rush hour traffic on I-395 that saw the plane hit, you have 100 eyewitnesses compiled in the pamphlet published by Penny Schoner. Where the hell did this theory come from? Thierry Meyssan’s book “The Horrible Fraud” was the original source. Meyssan wrote his book from Paris, he didn’t travel over here. The book is highly imaginative, and in the middle of a trauma, people are searching for answers. A lot of people in the 9/11 truth movement glommed onto this one and I think it’s hurt our credibility over all. You have to wonder if that was by design. For instance, all the right-wing magazines (e.g. National Review) have had a field day.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> <br><br>And more detail <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.ratical.org/ratville/JFK/JohnJudge/PAandAAF77.html">here</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> from John Judge:<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>At the end of her shift on Saturday morning, September 22nd, she was approached along with other attendants to visit the crash site. One declined, but she and two others took a van driven by the Salvation Army to the area. They were forced to wait almost 45 minutes at a safety fence around the area before being admitted into the area of destruction. As they waited, members of a psychological support group talked to them about their feelings. She will never forget what she saw there.<br><br>The area was covered with rescue equipment, fire trucks, small carts, and ambulances. They were still hoping to find survivors. Small jeeps with wagons attached were being used to transport workers and others at the site. One flight attendant was driving one of these around the site. Once inside the fence, she was unable to clearly discern where the original wall had been. There was just a gaping hole. She got off the van and walked inside the crash site. The other attendants broke down crying once they were inside. But my friend went in further than the others and kept her emotions in check as she has been trained to do and usually does in emergency situations.<br><br>She saw parts of the fuselage of an American Airlines plane, a Boeing 757 plane. She identified the charred wreckage in several ways. She recognized the polished aluminum outer shell, an unpainted silver color that is unique to American Airline planes, and the red and blue trim that is used to decorate the fuselage. She saw parts of the inside of the plane, which she easily identified since she flew and worked in them for years. Upholstery, drapes and carpeting she could identify by both color and design. The soft carpeting and padding of the inner walls had a cloud design and color she recognized from American Airline planes, though it has since been replaced. The blue coloring of drapes and carpet were also specific to the 757 or 767 larger planes, and were not used on the smaller planes. Seating upholstery also matched the AA 757 planes, including the blue color, tan squares and hints of white. <br><br>...<br><br>There are many legitimate unanswered questions about the events of September 11, 2001, its sponsorship, and the official version of events. We benefit from serious research and the issues raised by victim's families seeking accountability. Not the least of these is the apparent lack of standard FAA/NORAD response to these emergency events. Rather than use our time proving and belaboring the obvious, or focusing on areas of total speculation that can only hurt our public credibility, I encourage serious researchers to focus on the historical context of the event, the alleged conspirators, the funding, and the government response or lack of it.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>And a <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.911review.com/errors/pentagon/index.html">resource</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> compiled by researcher Jim Hoffman. <p></p><i></i>
