Hello Steve,

>SA>I can understand bits & pieces of paper & other lightweight things
>SA>being blown by the wind for quite a distance, but human remains
>SA>sounds a bit sus, unless they exited the plane before the main
>SA>crash.

>GP>This isn't so difficult -- consider that the planes that crashed
>GP>into the WTC were so badly damaged/incinerated that the Black Box
>GP>(Flight Data Recorder) was unrecoverable. . .

>GP>THEN note that they DID recover 3 *paper* passports belonging to
>GP>the terrorists, from the WTC vicinity!

SA>I will take your word that 3 passports were found, but it is certainly
SA>remarkable that the passport belonging to Satam al-Sagami was found
SA>on the street minutes after the plane he was on crashed into the North
SA>Tower, before it collapsed. This implies that the passport did not
SA>enter the building with the jet & the passport holder, but somehow
SA>left the plane as it crashed into the tower. Perhaps the terrorist
SA>flicked it out the window, like an apple core, just as the window
SA>shattered. Good job someone happened to notice the intact passport
SA>before the tower came crashing down.

That's right!  That is exactly what happened!  Here's your medal...

SA>If I had been nearby, I would have probably been heading away from
SA>the scene, without having the presence of mind to look for a passport
SA>in all the confusion & panic.

Chicken!  Always running away!  

>GP>If you can accept this rather bit of oddness, why not accept that
>GP>human remains can bounce up from a crash site in Pennsylvania and
>GP>splash down MILES away, and be identifiable as coming from THAT
>GP>plane, at THAT time?

SA>I've seen it in the movies, & apparently the US military & intelligence
SA>uses Hollywood directors to make their scenarios look "realistic".

Ronald Reagan made movies for the Army.  :)
