| #3 Consider the source: WND (AKA WHiny Nutcase Daily). Take this statement for example: "puzzled the NTSB guys was just how many eyewitnesses actually saw a plane with a ruptured center fuel tank rocketing upwards with burning fuel spewing behind it –especially given that the center fuel tank was essentially empty." It did NOT puzzle the NTSB guys - "nearly empty" tank still contains several GALLONS of fuel. And vapor in "nearly empty" tanks on a hot day is highly explosive - ask the Navy, they have specific procedures that are set to deal with jsut this soprt of thing. Civilian Airliners do not. And on top of that - the July 17th date was just a COINCIDENCE. The fact that the "Baathist" party had some weigh ton this date is simply a coincidence - the Iraqi "celebration" days of Saddam's birthday were far larger. Also note that he doesn't name names excpet for other tin-foil-hat conspiracy types, who also rely on unnamed soruces and anonymous people - and questionable quotes as well as pure disinformation such as the above quote. Guys, read WND like you would the National Enquirer. |
