Burlingame Recap
In case anyone forgets, the Burlingame family already has a history with the Loosers, they had mocked her and her brother before.
Blood: And these pilots, I mean, we interviewed Debra Burlingame, whose brother Chick was the one supposedly flying that plane that hit the Pentagon–
Avery: Oh, that’s right! I heard about that!
Blood: –And of course she is a TOTAL shill for the Republican Party, she also spoke at the [Republican National] Convention. And is it ABSURD that she went on and on about how her brother was ex-military, how she knows that her brother and the other pilots fought for their lives, against these deadly terrorists–
Avery: Yeaaah, yeah. Whatever.
Blood: (mocking an Arabic accent): It is my preevilege to keel you with thees box cutter!
Avery: Ha ha!
Debra Burlingame had some choice words for them:
"The only thing they (the filmmakers) seem to have gotten right about the Sept. 11 attacks is the date when they occurred," says Debra Burlingame, whose brother was the pilot of American Flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon.
"They aren't truth-tellers looking to save the world," she says. "They're con artists hoping to sucker conspiracy-theory paranoids or anti-government malcontents into shelling out their hard-earned dollars."

Thanks for reporting an old story.
Here's something more contemporary:
CNN: Bowman scared of answering no-plane questions (07/13)
Hey, go ahead and start your own site, you can report anything you want.
Bowman is a liar anyway, he has been part of the "truth" movement for years now, then when he finally gets on tv he proclaims he is an agnostic. What a wuss.
Not to mention his idiotic economic views. I posted on one of them on my other blog. He is clueless.
James,
I have roundly criticized Bowman as well. His call for Nationalized Health Care seems particularly reckless. The idea of running as a Dem is a clear clue that he is sacrificing any integrity he may claim to have.
I agree that Bowman is odious in many ways.
However, Hannity is still playing some vicious game of Repubs against Dems. Hannity has to be one of the most duped persons in the popular media, or perhaps he simply enjoys the money rewards to be had as a lying, misleading piece of garbage.
Yes, I've listened to Hannity on his radio show in addition to H&C to have a basis to make that claim.
BG, this story has to do with Wendy Burlingame's post on the LC board last night, so it is not an old story. It's just background for a new story.
As for Bowman, I've got a post coming up on his "agnosticism".
Oh, and I'm not pleased with Hannity's performance either--it betrays a lack of preparation.
At least there is now proof that the Burlingame family is aware of Loose Change, which makes Wendy's remarks in the LC forum even more probable.
Hey, why didn't Chick, or any other the other ex-military pilots, click the distress signals in their planes when the "Arab hijackers" took over?
And I guess it's just another coincidence in a looooong line of coincidences surrounding 9/11 that he just happened to work in the same Naval Ops area in the Pentagon that his hijacked plane supposedly crash into?
And I'm sure the ex-Navy Admiral/ex-AA 757 pilot on board was just a coincidence too.
(along with the black ops passengers.)
That was a hoax...are you really not going to correct that? You know it's fake.
Where's your evidence? Oh right, your kind doesn't need any.
How about, perhaps... the radio?
Yup, because everytime they hear a commotion they yell into the radio "WE'RE BEING HIJACKED".
re Nationalized Health Care - the public sector already pays so much of the cost of health care, directly or indirectly. Sooner or later, they've got to grapple with it seriously.
It'd rather not wait in line any longer at the ER thanks. This country wasn't founded to be a nanny state, Jefferson said it was created neither to help nor hinder anyone economically.
undense said...Can you provide evidence that the cockpits of those aircraft were fitted with such a signaling capability?
Yes, the secret code is "7500".
(Shhhh!)
Also, It's possible that the pilots couldn't send that hijacker emergency code because they were preoccupied with being murdered.
Don't bother, this guy is a few cans short of a six-pack.
Killtown, I'm gonna put this in caps so maybe you can understand:
THE HIJACK CODE IS FOR WHEN THE HIJACKERS KEEP THE PILOTS ALIVE AND USE THEM TO PILOT THE CRAFT.
Shawn said... THE HIJACK CODE IS FOR WHEN THE HIJACKERS KEEP THE PILOTS ALIVE AND USE THEM TO PILOT THE CRAFT.
Oh, so if the pilots know they are about to be killed or won't be flying the plane, then they won't bother entering the code.
K, thanks for clearing that up for me!
(LoL)
Oh, so if the pilots know they are about to be killed or won't be flying the plane, then they won't bother entering the code.
Someone bursts through the door and stabs you...yup losts of time to enter the distress signal. If you knew your terrorism history (which you don't), you'd know that hijackers tend to keep pilots alive and have them fly the plane. That's when the distress signal is given.
(LoL)
Keep laughing, dumbass.
Oh, so if the pilots know they are about to be killed or won't be flying the plane, then they won't bother entering the code.
Correct. On an unauthorized cockpit entry the first order of business is to control the aircraft and stay alive, if possible. Resetting the transponder is obviously secondary and is something which is to wait until the situation is assessed and as under control as possible under the circumstances.
Indeed, 7500 is only for situations where the pilot is flying the aircraft at the behest of a hijacker. If there was simply a guy on a killing spree and perhaps carrying a bomb but not issuing orders to the pilot the correct transponder code would be 7700 until given a new emergency code by ATC. I find it not surprising in the least that none of the pilots entered a 7500 squawk.
Hey, some of them do think there were no pilots.
Goddamn killtown's retarded. Even the article he links to states that:
The information has become very public, and the presumption even before the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, became that a hijacker might well know about the 7500 code and be able to prevent the pilot from entering the signal.
He can't even link to his "evidence" without contradicting the very statement he's trying to prove.
There is a lot of misunderstanding of what a hijacking code is: that's just four numbers on a transponder, which is on from the moment you're leaving from the airport. Air Traffic Control (ATC) gives you a 4 digit code, so they can track you on their radar screen. When a plane is hijacked you need to (manually) change the 4 digit code into 7500.
The hijackers, who were trained (you will find transponders in any airplane, including small ones, and you need to be able te operate them when flying), knew they had to switch off the transponder when they entered the cockpit, which is exactly what they did.
