Day of Terror: Outside tiny Shanksville, a fourth deadly stroke
Wednesday, September 12, 2001
{MEK Note: This is an excerpt of a longer article. I have noted in red a number of items that further suggest a military jet flyover! There was a very fast & low flight path, plane does acrobatic roll-over stunts along with creating noise to get witness attention (an airline with a struggle in cockpit can do this?), this was a regular frequent military flight path near Shanksville, a crash site hidden from witness views, lack of significant plane parts & bodies, clothes and small debris scattered on ground & hanging in trees (exploding hole filled with appropriate junk). FBI state tasks are of sealing off “crash site” first day and then investigative search set for next day. There is no temporary morgue or any search for survivors or bodies taken. Most importantly the immediate task the first day is to seal off “crash” site from public which even extends to nearby airport. Then there is the mention of a five mile trail of debris on way to “crash site” and mention & denial of a possible shoot down of the plane. Was this a secondary cover in case no one was willing to believe the “crash site” story? CIA always has believable back-up stories in case first fails!]

It was there, just outside the tiny town of Shanksville, that a United Airlines jetliner crashed, killing all 45 people aboard in what appeared to be the fourth and final stroke of a choreographed wave of terrorism that was equated to the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.
United Airlines Flight 93, a Boeing 757-200 en route from New Jersey to San Francisco, fell from the sky near Shanksville at 10:06 a.m., about two hours after it took off, leaving a trail of debris five miles long
The participants discussed a possible shoot down of the aircraft, said Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) issued a statement denying that United Flight 93 had been shot down by U.S. military aircraft.
minutes before the plane went down Westmoreland County Emergency Operations Center intercepted a frantic cell phone call made to 911 by a passenger aboard the doomed flight. “We are being hijacked, we are being hijacked!” Agents seized the 911 dispatch tape from as part of their investigation.
Investigators who swarmed to the scene were sparing no effort to uncover the truth. The FBI is coordinating the investigation… One special evidence response team from Pittsburgh went to the crash three more teams are on their way to the site. Investigators will be around the clock collecting evidence and performing the gruesome task of body identification.
Flight 93 may have gotten as far west as Ohio before turning around. The Cleveland mayor’s office told The Associated Press that an airplane in distress had passed through Cleveland-area airspace “We were in communication with the FBI and the FAA about the jet as to where it was,” Murphy said. “They had the jet coming out of Cleveland and losing it when it came into Pittsburgh airspace, and there was no communication with it, and we were concerned.”
Dennis Fritz, the air traffic manager, got a call from controllers in Cleveland warning the Johnstown airport — which has no radar of its own — that a large aircraft was 20 miles south and had suddenly turned on a heading for Johnstown. “It was an aircraft doing some unusual maneuvers at a low level, which is unusual for an aircraft that size,” Fritz to believe that the plane was flying somewhere in the 2,800 foot high ridges in that part of the Allegheny front.
Eric Peterson, 28, heard a plane, looked up and saw one fly over unusually low. The plane continued on beyond a nearby hill, then dropped out of sight behind a tree line. As it did so, Peterson said it seemed to be turning end-over-end. Then Peterson said he saw a fireball, heard an explosion and saw a mushroom cloud of smoke rise into the sky.
Peterson rushed to the scene on an all-terrain vehicle and when he arrived he saw bits and pieces of an airliner spread over a large area of an abandoned strip-mine in Stonycreek Township. “There was a crater in the ground that was really burning,” Peterson said. Strewn about were pieces of clothing hanging from trees and parts of the Boeing 757, but nothing bigger than a couple of feet long, he said. Many of the items were burning. Peterson said he saw no bodies, but there also was no sign of life. Two curiosity seekers were arrested for trying to get through the perimeter, one of them aboard an all-terrain vehicle.
Jeff Killeen, an FBI spokesman from Pittsburgh, said the main thrust of the agency’s investigation will begin today… Yesterday, the priority of the FBI and state troopers was to protect the scene.
“The FBI will follow every lead to bring this case to a successful conclusion,” Investigators did not locate the plane’s flight data recorder or cockpit voice recorder. There were 20 FBI agents on hand yesterday, and another 30 were expected last night. The contingent of 100 state troopers was expected to swell to 150. They planned to spend last night spaced out along the crash perimeter within each other’s eyesight to ward off curiosity seekers and prevent anyone from tampering with evidence.
Also on hand were officials from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, the Federal Aviation Administration and United Airlines. A team from the National Transportation Safety Board was en route. Killeen said agents were looking for facilities in the area to use as repositories for evidence and human remains, noting that no morgue had been established.
Last night police and National Guard sealed off the airport to regular traffic, at one point shutting down state Route 219 a four-lane highway that is only 500 yards from airport property. It was later reopened, but access roads to the airport remained sealed.
