WASHINGTON – Ever since Sept. 11, 2001, there have been questions about Flight 93, the ill-fated plane that crashed in the rural fields of Pennsylvania.
The official story has been that passengers on the United Airlines flight rushed the hijackers in an effort to prevent them from crashing the plane into a strategic target – possibly the U.S. Capitol.
During his surprise Christmas Eve trip to Iraq, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld referred to the flight being shot down – long a suspicion because of the danger the flight posed to Washington landmarks and population centers.


A friend of mine was watching TV that day, all day, and also heard that the plane was shot down. He wondered why the TV newscaster talked about it being shot down that day, but ever after, it has only been talked about as having crashed.

further down in the article is this: Several eyewitnesses to the crash claim they saw a "military-type" plane flying around United Airlines Flight 93 when the hijacked passenger jet crashed – prompting the once-unthinkable question of whether the U.S. military shot down the plane.

Comments:
this does not surprise me too much. It's a much better story to say the people on the plane took over. No one wants to think their government would kill them to prevent a plane from going into the Whitehouse. Wasn't that the goal of 93? There's no doubt in my mind that our government would. On the other hand...with how often this administration lies and flat out misspeaks, I don't know what to believe without other evidence.
