If you try to get too close to a crash site, does a wreck-guarding angel beat the crap out of you?

So if angels were at the Flight 93 site, how come no one saw them in NYC or DC as well?

She didn't see bodies.

There were no bodies to be seen.

She "can't ignore this".

Her superiors request guidance.

She's "re-educated" through drugs and/or brainwashing.

She thinks she saw "angels".

Her subconscious still knows she didn't see bodies.

But now she's too crazy to be taken seriously.

/I am the owl

Valkyries perhaps?

Worst. Angels. Ever.

BSABSVR: Why wouldn't the angels have guarded the farking plane from turning into rubble? What the hell were they protecting the crash site from, Jet Fuel stealing demons? Looters who need one flaming sock?

Everyone must die. You childishly expect people to live forever. Angels were there to guide souls not save lives.

Where's Kosh? "The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote."

scottydoesntknow: I only believe in one angel, and his name is Legion



/He died, so the geth could live

That was a sad scene.

The usual truthers are sitting this one out?

Ah, 9-11 -

Four jets simultaneously hijacked, three hit their targets because the NORAD just happens to be "standing down" that day because they were doing exercises... the only three modern steel-framed buildings EVER to fall due to fire fall neatly into their footprints that day... the BBC reports on live TV that Building Seven has fallen - BEFORE it falls - indeed it is standing in the background... we blame all this on 19 Saudi hijackers and respond by attacking Afghanistan and Iraq...


Angels? Sure, I can believe angels. Why not?

In fact, I say we make it a part of the Official 9-11 Lore. Adds a nice touch.

What say you all?

prekrasno: So if angels were at the Flight 93 site, how come no one saw them in NYC or DC as well?

Because most everyone in NYC and DC are a-holes

/lives in DC

The 20,000 leagues of angels must have farked that site, too.

Operation Northwoods - Wiki

"It is possible to create an incident which will demonstrate convincingly that a Cuban aircraft has attacked and shot down a chartered civil airliner en route from the United States to Jamaica, Guatemala, Panama or Venezuela. The destination would be chosen only to cause the flight plan route to cross Cuba. The passengers could be a group of college students off on a holiday or any grouping of persons with a common interest to support chartering a non-scheduled flight.

a. An aircraft at Eglin AFB would be painted and numbered as an exact duplicate for a civil registered aircraft belonging to a CIA proprietary organization in the Miami area. At a designated time the duplicate would be substituted for the actual civil aircraft and would be loaded with the selected passengers, all boarded under carefully prepared aliases. The actual registered aircraft would be converted to a drone.
b. Take off times of the drone aircraft and the actual aircraft will be scheduled to allow a rendezvous south of Florida. From the rendezvous point the passenger-carrying aircraft will descend to minimum altitude and go directly into an auxiliary field at Eglin AFB where arrangements will have been made to evacuate the passengers and return the aircraft to its original status. The drone aircraft meanwhile will continue to fly the filed flight plan. When over Cuba the drone will begin transmitting on the international distress frequency a "MAY DAY" message stating he is under attack by Cuban MIG aircraft. The transmission will be interrupted by destruction of the aircraft which will be triggered by radio signal. This will allow ICAO radio[18] stations in the Western Hemisphere to tell the US what has happened to the aircraft instead of the US trying to "sell" the incident."

So those angels apparently don't know what a farking cockpit is for... She apparently is too much of an idiot to think through any of the implications of what she's saying.

And this woman while working for the FBI may very well have held people's lives in her hands. And her old boss thinks she sane even after spewing out all that insane nonsense. This is our FBI, the nation's top law enforcement agency. Sleep tight.

Is he talking about Kate Jackson?

The truly scary thing is that there are people who will believe this nutter.

Amos Quito: What say you all?

I say I'll believe that fog results from angel bukkake before I'll believe that a massive worldwide conspiracy and cover-up has gone through without any evidence or verifiable whistleblowers for the sake of making some contractors a few billion dollars.

So that's two of us who believe in the angels.

Great!

Anyone else?

You're right. A random BBC reporter was in on the conspiracy, along with what would have to have been at least 100's of others who all kept quiet.

Sounds like The Angel Summoner and BMX Bandit were on the scene too late to help....

It's funny that you'd say those things together without a hint of irony... That he's childish for expecting people to live forever while implicitly accepting the existence of a childish fantasy like angels...... who according to that bronze-age superstitious nonsense would have been there to guide those people to eternal life.

I am saddened by the comments here. Is it too hard to conceive that there MIGHT be something out there that goes beyond our physical bodies? Is it too hard to think that maybe whatever is out there, in a moment of extreme tragedy, broke through temporarily into our world, to be perceived by a gifted person?

Why would angles - or whatever they may have been - have been expected to STOP a tragedy? Maybe they can't, because doing so would break free will, or because of some other covenant. But maybe they could be there, to help and comfort the dead, once the crash took place?

Someone above said Valkyries. That's exactly what I thought from the article. Sad no one else was thinking this way.

Thought angels had better things to do.

I knew there was a reason I have you favorited as "crass, but good ideas".

I dig your style.

There must have been a few souls that were real farks. Why didn't she see any demons. Personally, I think Pocket Ninja has the most plaussible spirtual answer.

I bet God said, "Alright, Angel, you've covered your ass now."

a) Guarding it from WHAT?

b) this is the kind of shiat my crazy aunt gobbles up with a spoon because she wants to believe it.

/facepalm

"Instead, Leonardi kept it to herself for the better part of two years...."

"McCabe, 59, now retired near Cocoa Beach, Fla."

Sane until Florida.

Guarding it from what?

FTA:

"It just looked like the ground had swallowed up the plane', Leonardi said."

Maybe because that's exactly what happened, genius.

Ambivalence: Surrounded by angels....and yet it STILL crashed. Angels are such dicks.

GAT_00: My uncle still claims that Flight 93 was shot down by the US military. It was pretty low when it flew over his house, with a couple of F-15s close behind. It crashed like 20 miles from him.

Acceptable... but I was looking for Gesundheit.

She was the first on the scene. PTSD can do funny stuff to a person's memory. No, I don't think she actually saw angels. I do think she genuinely thinks she saw angels.

advex101: Guarding it from what?

Nonbelievers.

bulldg4life: Magorn: I think the 9-11 commission confirmed that at least one f-16 was in position to Intercept, but that before Cheney had to give the shoot/don't shoot order, the plane crashed on its own. To me the real question is why was CHENEY the one making that call? That represents either a massive failure of our military/Air Force One's emergency communication system, or a completely untold story of either a silent coup by Cheney, a complete Check-out by W, or a stealth invocation of the 26th amendment

I seem to remember a NatGeo-documentary type program about Air Force 1 where Bush talks about how, on 9/11, they didn't have the proper communication in place for him to talk with everyone. Something about how they had to keep landing at bases and going to secure locations to talk with Washington, then jumping back in to the air.

I want to say that Air Force One ended up going through a semi-overhaul so that it could better communicate with the outside world while continually flying.

Perhaps the presidential lockdown went too far and it ended up being some sort of presidential shutout.

Bush calls Air Force One communications "antiquated" (YouTube)

There were interruptions in the phone connection between Cheney and Bush but the main reason for landing was that Air Force One could not directly send or receive video. Bush watched 9/11 television coverage from whatever over-the-air broadcast station the plane was near at the time. In order for Bush to make an appearance on television the plane had to land.

One of my mentors is a forensic anthropologist who led the team that collected the body parts from that field. If this lady, or anyone else thinks there weren't any bodies in the wreckage, I can get them contact information for about thirty people who spent weeks putting chunks of human flesh into biohazard bags.

slimfast: Where's Kosh? "The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote."

We've figured it out it's all clear to me now! Lillie Leonardi was the only human at the crash that day, the others were all Centauri.

austin_millbarge: a) Guarding it from WHAT?


They weren't guarding the crash site, but the souls of the victims.

And they did a fine job - not a single one escaped.

"I know she's a sane person so I'm not going to discount what she says she saw."

What she says she saw is a pretty good reason to think that she's NOT a sane person.


scottydoesntknow: I only believe in one angel, and his name is Legion

/He died, so the geth could live

Poor Legion :(
The Geth are a remarkable species, they're almost a macro-scale model of the workings of an organic brain. It's a shame their creators spent so long being engaged in a war based on fear and misunderstanding, instead of being proud of having given birth to the first benevolent and truly alive synthetic race. I think they're one of the most interesting, original, and thought-provoking entities every created for a Sci-Fi universe. Legion is amazing.
