Anyone seen this movie? Watched it last night and thought it was surprisingly good! It's quite an unusual style for a Hollywood movie - almost like a long 'Air Crash Investigation' reconstruction feel to it.

It never really appealed much when it came out as obviously you know what's going to happen, but it was still really tense and exciting. Defo recommend it!

The aircraft was probably shot down by air national guard on orders from Whitehouse

Just finished watching it - really good movie. Shot in real time over the events of the day.

According to the 9/11 report - military commanders didn't know U93 was hijacked until 4 minutes after it crashed - so it probably wasn't shot down!

Also interesting to read that many of the people in the film are the real life players, e.g. ATC staff, pilots and crew.

Oh dear - I do hope you are not one of the 9/11 conspiracy theorists.

The pictures of the crash site are certainly not consistent with a plane that was shot down although no doubt you also think that was either photoshopped or fake as well

What did the crashed aircraft look like?
Was it full of bullet holes with a sidewinder or sparrow sticking out of it, still smoking?
Or was it just a pile of black unrecognisable pulp in the middle of a crater, which then begs the question how do you prove wether it was shot down or was just flown into the ground.
Whatever the truth, they can and did say what they want, and then called on Hollywood to provide the easier to swallow version of events or propaganda.

Oh dear - you are a conspiracy theorist.

Without asking the bleeding obvious what is it you think they are hiding let's look at some simple facts.

If it was shot with small arms which somehow made it crash without blowing up, then yes, that would be hard to tell from the crash site - but this would be unique.

However if it was hit with a sidewinder or similar there would be multiple impacts - planes that blow up in the air (like Lockerbie) have multiple crash loci, sometimes spead over many, many miles depending on the altitude of the impact/explosion.

An intact airplane hitting the ground has primary locus with spread impacts all around generated from the initial impact.

But hey ho - keep hiding under the blanket and remember, just because you are paranoid it does not mean to say they are not out to get you.
