THE F-16s
UA93 was identified as a hijack at 9.16am. At 9.35am three F-16s were ordered to "protect the White House at all costs" when it turned towards the capital. At 10.06am it crashed at Shanksville, less than 10mins flying time from Washington
A twin-engine F-16 with a radical new tail design. Neat. No wonder the person couldn't find any pictures of them, I couldn't find one on the internet either. For that matter, I can't really think of any combat aircraft in our inventory that match the eyewitness description. So, in an emergency, someone scrambled an all-white, top secret, unmarked military jet armed with sidewinders, from a hidden base in Pennsylvania, to shoot down a civilian passenger jet. Wow. Oh wait, it was the single-engine F-16s that shot it down, because they were in hot pursuit (so claimed by "anonymous" the ACT), even though they weren't seen in the area by the eyewitnesses.
I don't claim to know what happened, but wow, here's a toast to you JB88. May your underwear have far less holes in it than your theories.
