If it did, then conspiracy theorists should apologize, and vote for Bush II.

  1. Oh sure, it had transporters and photon torpedos as well.

    YAAFM.


  2. I don't get it...whats left to be suspicious of?  There was wreckage OF ALL four planes recovered and visible...there's no secret.

  3. We were sucker punched by 19 psychos armed with box cutters. Financed by psychos who would be grease stains by now if we were not spilling innocent blood and wasting treasure in a country that had nothing to do with the heinous atrocities committed on 9/11/01

    Conspiracy theorists generally need to get a life, However I have to say yours is one of the most stupid and inane questions I have ever heard. Not worthy of a direct answer out of respect to the innocents who were slaughtered on this tragic day.

  4. I have a problem here.  what aircraft has retractable wings?  I mean you're not talking about a backpack are you?  There are some that can change angle of attack, fold or have swept geometry, but I can't think of any that retract.

  5. No, the jet that hit the pentagon was a commercial airline jet. It did not have retractable wings.

  6. DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT AIRCRAFT CAME IN NICE AND LEVEL???

    HA! YOU EASILY FOOLED NARROW MINDED LITTLE MAN!

    You give the government too much credit as if a conspiracy this big could be planned and executed in full view of the world.

    lay off of the dvds dude!

  7. Cute.. how about this, usually it is up to the accuser to prove a theory... you are accusing our Government of doing this, sooooo... how about when you crash a plane into a similar type structure, and the wings do not disintergrate, cutting some looney tune cartoon type hole in the structure,  WE will then apologize to all the conspiracy nuts???

    When is your first flight?

    Yeah, that is what I thought....

  8. No it didnt. It was a Boeing 757.

  9. we live in one messed up country don't we. Makes it hard to chose a candidate when you can't trust anything about the government.

  10. The width of the collapse was due to the size of the building section, not the wingspan of the jet. The building's supports were chopped by the impact and caved in on itself. That explains the height of the damage.The strongest parts of the plane were the fuselage and wing roots which, incedentally, were wide enough to do this. The rest of the wings crumpled and fell apart before they could cause any serious structural damage. This is why the dmage does not seem as wide as it should. You might notice most of the smoldering is in the back of the building where the fuel went during the impact. Again, the most massive damage was on low floors where the plane actually hit. Computers and desks survived on higher floors next to the impact becuase they were only exposed by the collapse. Remember, most of these conspiracist debunkers are basing their arguments on what they THINK these impact sites and buildings SHOULD look like, but don't really know a whole lot about the facts. In the video, it says the math is so simple that a grade schooler can do it, but the truth is that if you wanted to use math, you'd need complex calculations for structural integrity of the plane and building, taking into account everything from heat to initial impact force at specific points. People have done this, but still aren't believed even though most were independent experts, not government officials.We're not talking about simple addition/subtraction here.

    A Boeing plane crashed into the Pentagon. It's a fact. Too many people saw the whole process unfold for it to have been faked. The wings did fold up, but were forced to by the impact as they and the rest of the plane were destroyed. Any plane has "retractable" wings when it's hitting a building at full speed.

  11. You need to do better things with your time rather than look up conspiracies due to boredom.

    Airliners' wings are created to flex up and down and not back and forth. Contrary to what you see in cartoons, when a plane hits a wall it does not create and outlined punch out of the plane. The cruising speed of an airliner is over 500mph. Why are you so sure that the wings weren't destroyed on impact? Because youtube told you? Is it really that hard to believe that a group of people hated the US so much that they planned this attack?

  12. No.  Look at how much of the stone facade collapsed.

    Bush II isn't a candidate in the election.

  13. Ha, ha...

    Funny...

    Good Luck...

  14. Passenger Jets don't have retractable wings!

  15. I just wonder why in the world people don't have better things to do than this.First of all the wings aren't structurally sound enough to stay together and make a hole the same size as the planes original size.Secondly there are literally thousands of different factors that are associated with fires and explosions.The height of the building.The shape of the building.The building materials used.I've seen houses burn almost to the ground and one room not even have smoke damage. Nothing on this clip makes me suspicious.
