Reply #8: Additionally the numbers are vastly inflated..... [View All]

ie: tens of thousands.....although there are millions in nyc,I doubt that more than a hundred or so saw the first strike....most working New Yorkers were not staring up at the 80th floor-they were walking to work....after the strike tens of thousands were watching-the tower that had been struck, again a small percentage of those who were looking up might have seen for several seconds at most the second plane approach.....Most "eyewitnesses" viewed the aftermath of strikes and never the strikes themselves-though for some,their minds have filled in the blanks and they are certain they DID witness it.....If you read the Shanksville reports there are over 100 "eyewitnesses" not one of whom saw the plane touch the ground.Same for the Pentagon,many heard a plane pass close overhead and saw a flash at the Pentagon and are certain of what they saw without seeing an ACTUAL strike.......In short thousands of witnesses who saw something and have been convinced by network repetition of what it was they saw.
