A PATRIOTIC PILOTS VIEW OF 9-11



By Ghostwolfemoon

When an experienced and patriotic pilot such as Russ Wittenberg speaks, the world should listen carefully. "Knowing the flight characteristics of the "big birds" like the back of his hand, Wittenberg convincingly argued there was absolutely no possibility that Flight 77 could have "descended 7,000 feet in two minutes, all the while performing a steep 270 degree banked turn before crashing into the Pentagon's first floor wall without touching the lawn."

"Wittenberg claimed the high speed maneuver would have surely stalled the jetliner sending it into a nose dive, adding it was "totally impossible for an amateur who couldn't even fly a Cessna to maneuver the jetliner in such a highly professional manner, something Wittenberg said he couldn't do with 35 years of commercial jetliner experience.

"For a guy to just jump into the cockpit and fly like an ace is impossible. There is not one chance in a thousand," said Wittenberg, recalling that when he made the jump from Boeing 727s to the highly sophisticated computerized characteristics of the 737s through 767s it took him considerable time to feel comfortable flying.

"I had to be trained to use the new, computerized systems. I just couldn't jump in and fly one," he added.

"Regarding another terror attack on American soil coming on the heels of the London bombings, he said "it's not if but when," claiming the unconstitutional Patriot Act is waiting in the wings to silence those Americans who may not fall in line with the government's eventual takeover."

This man, probably at great personal risk if the truth were truly known about how out of control our government is has given one of the best stories about why not to believe anything about 9/11.

I admire such people.
