Whenever I see pictures of a plane wreck now I wonder where the debris was in Shanksville, Pa. on September 11, 2001.
We were told so many lies that day.
BOGOTA — A
Colombian Air Force Colonel David Barrero said officials were investigating reports the plane had been hit by lightning before crashing at 1:49 a.m. on San Andres Island, a Colombian resort area of 78,000 people about 120 miles east of the Nicaraguan coast. He said other possible causes were also being studied....
Barrero said the cause of the accident was uncertain. “Lightning? A gust of wind? The investigation will say,’’ he said....
The plane hit short of the runway and slid forward on its belly as the fuselage fractured and bits of landing gear and at least one engine were ripped off....
The jet wound up on one end of the runway, crumpled and in pieces....

"Routine landing erupted in chaos; Survivors recall Colombian crash" by Vivian Sequera, Associated Press | August 18, 2010
BOGOTA — Survivors say everything seemed normal as a jetliner with 131 people on board prepared to land in a storm on a Caribbean resort island. Suddenly it plunged to earth, killing one person — a death toll so low that passengers called it a miracle.

After the jet ground to a stop, passengers scrambled from their seats or were helped to safety. Authorities said firefighters quickly doused flames that broke out on a wing.
The one fatality was Amar Fernandez de Barreto, 68, and doctors said she may have succumbed to a heart attack rather than physical injuries from the crash....
Investigators have been interviewing the crew and will examine the flight data and cockpit voice recorders to piece together the final moments.
Things that were never found (or were) on 9/11.
Both were recovered, but it will take three or four months to fully analyze them, said Colonel Donald Tascon, deputy director of Colombia’s civil aeronautics agency.
Plenty of time to come up with something that will limit the airline's liability.
Authorities are considering whether a violent wind shift in the thunderstorm could have played a role in the crash, as well as accounts of lightning as the plane was coming in for landing.
Based on how the fuselage ended up — in three large pieces on the runway — the plane probably cracked apart on impact, Tascon said....
And yet on 9/11 the planes in Shanksville and at the Pentagon disintegrated.
