Let's review a few small "facts" about low level, high speed flight first ok?
When we hear "commercial liner flying low" what do we think of? HUGE, lumbering beasts that we are familiar with while being around large cities and near airports. BUT what is being overlooked here is that they appear "slow and lumbering" because they are moving at a relatively slow speed. Most jets have a stall speed around 120-175mph. That being that if they don't go any faster than that their wings wont generate enough lift and they will simply fall out of the sky. Takeoff and landing speeds of those same jets is usually in the 120-150mph range.
Therefore I submit too the thickheaded that NO ONE has ever seen a jumbo jet doing 500+mph, not at any altitude except 30K+ when we see them as tiny, silent specks leaving a vapor trail (which is ice from the condensation/water vapor from their exhaust). How many people have ever been near a large air force base way out in the middle of nowhere? I am talking like the BIG bases out west where many test flights and fighter training takes place? Perhaps you have been too an airshow that featured military/fighter jets that come in low and go up too speeds of 400mph? While they aren't exceeding the speed of sound at that point (it is over 600mph) they are traveling at a sufficient pace so that they seem to be well ahead of the full force of their sound. Many people look directly in the direction of such noise yet find the aircraft substantially ahead of where the noise is coming from.
NO aircraft are allowed (by FAA and US military regulations) to exceed high speeds at low altitudes, especially over populated areas/cities. Therefore again I say, NO ONE would know what a 757 doing 500+ mph while only 20' off the ground would sound or look like because they simply haven't seen such an occurance. Remember how fast the second jet that went into the Trade Center looked to be traveling? It was traveling at about 3 times the normal speed anyone would ever see it traveling at such extremely low altitudes. (I think it actually was doing 400+ as it slammed into the tower.) As for the extremely loud, high pitched noise... well duh the towelheads at the controls had the throttles WIDE ARSED OPEN! The jets were screaming because of the air going through them and the amount of fuel they were burning.
As for the cameras and footage, most security cameras are not "real time" in that they aren't on continuous loop. They appear too be video but are in actuality "multiple still shots" (which in essence is what ALL video is, regardless of frame speed) and not capable of showing with clarity and detail any object moving at such a high rate of speed.Most security video camsare essentially taking stills every 1-2seconds. That slight interval doesn't matter too us on the ground, moving at normal speed. BUT trying to film an object that is moving at over 700fps (that is over 1/8th mile per second) simply makes it impossible to see much.For that Pentagon fuel station camera to have clearly seen that plane at such a close range, it would've had to have been filming at a higher rate of speed which would then be unsuitable for regular security detail. Besides, the films are legally EVIDENCE and will forever remain the property of the courts. Likewise they are kept from public view out of consideration of those family members who lost loved ones on that fateful day, remember how the govt and phsycologists encouraged the stoppage of running the Trade Center footage over and over after 9/11?
As for flight 93, YES the legal precident DOES exist for the possibility of having to shoot downnon-military aircraftif it is headed for a populated or "off limits" area. Obviously Washington D.C. is a target rich area of National Security importance and defense mechanisms DID exist all around the city before 9/11. Such defense mechanisms weren't in place in NYC (as I doubt they are today, it's just not financially possible to do for ALL major U.S. cities). The aircraft was taken down by the passengers who stormed the cockpit and fought the high-jackers. THAT is whey they were heroes. Imagine what could've happened had that plane gone down anywhere but in a vacant field. (BTW the decision to shoot down non-military aircraft is dealt with more than you might believe. Remember the private jet from FLAthat pro golfer Payne Stewart was killed in? The plane suddenly lost pressure whichessentially instantly froze, suffocated and killed everyone aboard. Yet the plane flew on auto pilot for nearly 3 hours before running out of fuel and crashing in the Dakotas. The path the plane took carried it over several heavily populated areas, the largest being St. Louis, MO. Clearance WAS given to shoot the plane down over several cities if it dipped below a certain altitude. NOT a decision I personally would want to have to make, but one that would certainly need to be made to prevent further loss of life.)
Why do I get the idea that whoever made that video wears black makeup, a trenchcoat and rides a bicycle?

here is one for Kat, Mind, and Johnny.
