[quote="Recycled Spooge":afe0f]Yeah, Miller is probably right. In order for the plane to fall and break like that it would have to fall nose first, and for that to happen no one should be even trying to stear it, and I'm pretty sure that if someone did take control of the plane, it would not crash nose first.[/quote:afe0f]

I never thought about it being shot down before but that raises an interesting point.
However, I think the fight from the "heros" resulted in not being able to take control of it and land it safely, but to struggle with the hi-jackers and nose dive the plane into the ground - but still preventing them from crashing into a building. - thats asuming it was crashed by heros.
but another thing that makes me now beleive it was shot down is noone on the plane would have known the hi-jackers intention of trying to crash into a building, unless they said "we are hi-jacking this plane and crashing into a building". But if noone knew the planes destiny, then the heros wouldnt have deliberatly crashed the plane. .......so being shot down seems all the more real.
Another thing, i read that a patrol of "unarmed" fighters on a training excercise were ordered to go to the pennsilvania hi-jacking, and it said that the pilots offered to kamikazi into the plane should it become a threat. Personally i beleive thats bullshit, and that even if the did plan that, they would eject after lining up the plane, so its not like the got a rush of japanese spirit to sacrifice their lives.
Like i mentioned - it said the planes were un armed. Maybe they WERE un armed when they returned to base, cos they had just shot down the plane.....
possible. hmmm??
