From Phantom Flight 93:
We have to look at a statement made by Mayor Michael R. Wright, who said, " A Boeing 767 out of Boston made an emergency landing Tuesday at Cleveland's Hopkins International Airport due to concerns that it may have a bomb aboard." Authorities went on to say that United Airlines identified this plane as Flight 93. There's a problem, though, because first of all, Flight 93 didn't depart from Boston. It came out of Newark. They also said that it was a 767. Well, flight 93 was a 757. They also said that there were 200 people aboard this plane. But there were supposedly only 45 people aboard Flight 93. Hmmm...discrepancies....
Also, the Mayor supposedly evacuated quite a few of the major public buildings including City Hall, the Justice Center, the Convention Center, the Rock & Roll hall of Fame, and Browns stadium. But this morning I spoke to someone who lives in Cleveland and asked him if he was there on the morning of 9-11. I asked him if there was mass chaos and pandemonium. He said, "No, absolutely not." He told me they did evacuate one building downtown, but by the time this happened most of the places weren't even opened yet, or were about to open. He said it wasn't a mass pandemonium scene. So again, we have another discrepancy.
All of the information - where they took off from, what kind of plane it was, and how many people were aboard - was wrong. And then, of course, the Mayor retracted his statement. Now that's not strange, because whenever officials speak out of line they quickly retract and say oh no, no, no, no, that was wrong. Just look at the statements Donald Rumsfeld made.
But the Cleveland report did give information that had clear discrepancies in it.
So, should we simply ignore the discrepancies or not?
Which is why we tend to refer to this plane as Flight 93 or something purporting to BE Flight 93....
