Crash Site:
FOX:
Any large pieces of debris at all?
Konicki:
Na,
there was nothing,
nothing that you could distinguish that a
plane had crashed there.
Suspicious Debris:
"It was practically intact,"
Richard's sister, Lori, said of the credentials, which were returned in
their wallet. "It
just looked like it wasn't damaged or hadn't gone through much of
anything at all, which is so bizarre and ironic."
Mysterious White Aircraft:
It was pure white, there wasn't any
markings on it, there was no rivets... It was so molded like it was all
one piece... It was cylinder, it came back and this spoiler was across
it.
I did not see
any wings... it had to be a missile or an unmanned plane.
Initial Reports:
"A Boeing 767 out of Boston made an emergency landing Tuesday at
Cleveland Hopkins International Airport...United
identified the plane as Flight 93. |
Notice a small crater, no visible plane
wreckage, and no fire or firefighter efforts going on. (source)
"'It’s
absolutely amazing to us that the plane came down where it did. It’s the only place within a
10-mile radius' where it could have crashed without claiming
additional lives." |
Coroner at the Scene:
"This is the most eerie thing," he says. "I
have not, to this day, seen a single drop of blood. Not a drop."
Unusual Crater:
"The smoking crater looked, he says, "like
someone took a scrap truck, dug a 10-foot ditch and dumped all this
trash into it."
The Dirt:
"The area in which the plane hit
had just
been backfilled."
Debris field:
"Crowley confirmed that there were two
other aircraft within 25 miles of the United flight that were heading
east when it crashed,
scattering
debris over 8 miles.
Past Exercise Nearby:
"The department,
just 2 1/2
months before the terrorist attacks, held a training drill simulating a
terrorist attack.
"When the terrorists struck the World Trade Center, Flight 93 was above
Westmoreland County and actually wound up in Shanksville." |
