And then watch the 5-minute video: THE FLIGHT 93 FRAUD
The next question is WHO WAS on the PASSENGER LIST of the flight in Pakistan!
"Pakistani airliner crash kills all 152 aboard; Rain a factor; toll includes 2 Americans" by Shaiq Hussain, Washington Post | July 29, 2010
The Airbus A321, operated by Airblue, a private aviation service, was arriving from Karachi and trying to land in Islamabad in a monsoon downpour. It crashed in the nearby Margalla Hills, about 9 miles from the airport.
Television footage of the fiery crash site showed fog and smoke rising from the mountains. Burning wreckage of the fuselage, wings, and engines was scattered across the forest floor, and twisted metal parts hung from trees.
Come to think of it, I didn't see any of that at the Pentagon, either!
The chairman of Islamabad’s Capital Development Authority, Imtiaz Inayat Ali, said all 146 passengers and six crew members were killed....
“It is not yet clear what is the actual cause of the plane crash,’’ Pervez George, a civil aviation authority spokesman, said in an interview, but he speculated that bad weather played a part. He said the control tower lost contact with the plane as it was about to land. “We got the news later that it had crashed in the Margalla Hills.’’
The wreckage scorched a wide stretch of the hills area, including a section behind Faisal Mosque, one of Islamabad’s most prominent landmarks.
They miss the target?
Islamabad Police Chief Bin Yamin said rescue teams from the police force, army, and other organizations rushed to the crash site, which was difficult to access because of thick woods in the area.
A huge explosion was heard after the crash, and fire spread fast in the woods, Yamin said. Smoke could be seen rising from the crash site. Rescue teams recovered most of the remains within several hours of the crash, he said.
I'm wondering where the remains were on 9/11, aren't you?
When rescue work was suspended overnight last night, 115 bodies had been recovered, federal Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira said. DNA tests would be needed to identify most of them, he said.
The government said today will be a day of mourning, and condolences poured in from the United States, Britain, and other nations.
Witnesses said the plane appeared to be unsteady in the air before the crash....
I'm sorry, readers, I'm just not liking the smell.
The Pakistan Airline Pilot Association said the plane may have strayed off course, possibly because of the poor weather. Several officials noted the plane crashed in an area that seemed distant from a usual flight path....
Almost as if it had been taken over by remote control, huh?
The last major plane crash in Pakistan was in July 2006 when a Fokker F-27 twin-engine aircraft operated by Pakistan International Airlines, the country’s national carrier, slammed into a wheat field on the outskirts of the central Pakistani city of Multan, killing all 45 people on board.

My prayers go out to all the Pakistanis who lost loved ones in this tragedy no matter how it occurred.
