where's Sully when you need him?

 

[medicnick83]

Sully?

 

[AjAx30]

yeah... very unfortunate.. See on CNN now that it was snowing, so the first thing that jumps to my mind is icing effects, but they also said that apparently some eyewitnesses said that an engine was on fire...

SAX flies the aircraft type that went down (Dash8-Q400)

Speculation never helps though so lets wait until the investigation is underway and see what they find..

Sully?

Sullenberger was the pilot who landed the plane in the Hudson river. His nickname is Sully.

I always get thoughtful, when 'coincidences' happen...

One of the passengers aboard the plane that crashed into a house 10 miles from Buffalo, New York, airport late on Thursday was a 9/11 widow who had questioned the official account of the attacks, sued the government and consistently lobbied for an Investigative Commission.

Beverly Eckert was flying to the city for a celebration of what would have been her husband Sean Rooney’s 58th birthday, reports the Press Association. Mr Rooney died on the 98th floor of the World Trade Center’s south tower.

She was among the 44 passengers and four crew on board the Continental Connection flight operated by Colgan Air when it crashed in the Buffalo suburb of Clarence Center.
Note that the person who wrote the statement below, died in this plane crash, en route to commemorating her husband's death on 911.

As a co-founder of the steering committee group “Voices For Sept. 11” Ms Eckert joined other activists in pushing for an Investigative Commission.

Only because of the consistent efforts of the relatives groups were the deaths of more than 2800 Americans ever formally investigated by a government who would have rather kept the truth about 9/11 buried.

In 2004 the Ms Eckert also successfully lobbied Congress to pass a sweeping reform of the U.S. intelligence system.

Last week, Ms Eckert was at the White House to talk with President Barack Obama about how the new administration could deal with terror suspects.

My Silence Cannot Be Bought
by Beverly Eckert

"I've chosen to go to court rather than accept a payoff from the 9/11 victims compensation fund. Instead, I want to know what went so wrong with our intelligence and security systems that a band of religious fanatics was able to turn four U.S passenger jets into an enemy force, attack our cities and kill 3,000 civilians with terrifying ease. I want to know why two 110-story skyscrapers collapsed in less than two hours and why escape and rescue options were so limited.

I am suing because unlike other investigative avenues, including congressional hearings and the 9/11 commission, my lawsuit requires all testimony be given under oath and fully uses powers to compel evidence.

The victims fund was not created in a spirit of compassion. Rather, it was a tacit acknowledgement by Congress that it tampered with our civil justice system in an unprecedented way. Lawmakers capped the liability of the airlines at the behest of lobbyists who descended on Washington while the Sept. 11 fires still smoldered.

And this liability cap protects not just the airlines, but also World Trade Center builders, safety engineers and other defendants.

The caps on liability have consequences for those who want to sue to shed light on the mistakes of 9/11. It means the playing field is tilted steeply in favor of those who need to be held accountable. With the financial consequences other than insurance proceeds removed, there is no incentive for those whose negligence contributed to the death toll to acknowledge their failings or implement reforms. They can afford to deny culpability and play a waiting game.

By suing, I've forfeited the "$1.8 million average award" for a death claim I could have collected under the fund. Nor do I have any illusions about winning money in my suit. What I do know is I owe it to my husband, whose death I believe could have been avoided, to see that all of those responsible are held accountable. If we don't get answers to what went wrong, there will be a next time. And instead of 3,000 dead, it will be 10,000. What will Congress do then?

So I say to Congress, big business and everyone who conspired to divert attention from government and private-sector failures: My husband's life was priceless, and I will not let his death be meaningless. My silence cannot be bought."

Beverly Eckert, whose husband died at the World Trade Center, is the founder of Voices of September 11th, a victims advocacy group.

Caught her on Sky and have to agree that I immediately started to wonder.... *shrugs....

LG you have got to be kidding ??

put on your tinfoil hat and it will make perfect sense.

Wait seven years after 9/11 and years after her trouble making. Then sabotage a commercial plane she'll be flying on and have it fly into a building in New York state. Simple

 

[I am Penguin]

Bush is gone, So let the conspiracies fly. See what he will do. Next "story" will be the Obama Devil trying to protect Bush country.

Because manufacturing ice on the plane's wings (or whatever the issue is) and killing a bunch of other people on the process in a globally publicised plane crash is easier and more effective than arranging a simple accident, like a car crash or a slip on ice or in the bathtub?

Ah but they could have planted the cockpit voice recorder where the "pilot" ( no doubt a MOSSAD agent) claims "ice on the wings" as the cause

Bwahahahah

These guys make me laugh, everything is a conspiracy.

The reason why I say MOSSAD is because they're far more skillful at voice impersonation than the CIA.

and to get the evil juice involved as well. No evil conspiracy can be credible without them

ROFLMAO

*grin* The whole flight was probably faked up, and all the passengers except her were just cardboard cut-outs. There were no pilots, it was remotely controlled, with a Mossad agent's voice on a tape being played to the triffic control.

 

[marine1]

Maybe she is not even dead and has been captured and sent to a secret base on the moon.

That would explain why they're claiming they're going to take 4 days to find the remains.

Firefighters ( CIA agents since no voice impersonation is needed) are going to strategically plant human remains in the wreck area to 'find'.

*goes to look for claims of suspicious looking people digging up graves recently in the NY area*

 

[marine1]

What I find totally amusing is that LG now lives in the US but yet he has something to say about everything they say or do. Every bloody thing is a conspiracy maybe just leave the country then?
