- The Black Box and the Indestructible
Passport
-
- All four Black Boxes were supposedly destroyed and
rendered unusable in spite of the fact that they are designed
specifically for plane crashes which result in insurmountable
conditions...yet one of the hijackers passports supposedly survives
fire and heat of over 1,000 degrees fahrenheit and is found in perfect
shape in the rubble around the WTC towers? What kind of idiots does
the FBI take us for?
-
- How indestructible are the so-called "Black
Boxes"?
-
- Each airplane is equipped with a Flight Data
Recorder and a Cockpit Voice Recorded. The term "Black Box" is used
for these pieces of equipment. The National Transportation Safety
Board (NTSB) web site gives valuable information regarding these
devices.
-
- Regarding the Cockpit Voice Recorder it
says:
-
- "The CVR records the flight crew's voices, as well
as other sounds inside the cockpit. The recorder's "cockpit area
microphone" is usually located on the overhead instrument panel
between the two pilots. Sounds of interest to an investigator could be
engine noise, stall warnings, landing gear extension and retraction,
and other clicks and pops. From these sounds, parameters such as
engine rpm, system failures, speed, and the time at which certain
events occur can often be determined. Communications with Air Traffic
Control, automated radio weather briefings, and conversation between
the pilots and ground or cabin crew are also recorded." [NTSB web
site]
-
- Regarding the Flight Data Recorder it
says:
-
- "The FDR onboard the aircraft records many different
operating conditions of the flight. By regulation, newly manufactured
aircraft must monitor at least twenty eight important parameters such
as time, altitude, airspeed, heading, and aircraft attitude. In
addition, some FDRs can record the status of more than 300 other
in-flight characteristics that can aid in the investigation. The items
monitored can be anything from flap position to auto-pilot mode or
even smoke alarms." [NTSB web
site]
-
- Thus as we see each plane is equipped with two
seperate "Black Box" devices which relay different yet complimentary
information. It goes on to say:
-
- "Both the Flight Data Recorder and the Cockpit Voice
Recorder have proven to be valuable tools in the accident
investigation process. They can provide information THAT MAY BE
DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN BY OTHER MEANS." [NTSB web
site]
-
- They are meant to be the hardy and sure way to get
information regarding the last minutes before the plane went down.
Here are the specifications of these devices including what they can
withstand:
-
- FLIGHT DATA RECORDER
-
- Time recorded: 25 hour continuous Number of
parameters: 5 - 300+ Impact tolerance: 3400Gs /6.5ms Fire resistance:
1100 degC/30 min Water pressure resistance: submerged 20,000 ft
Underwater locator beacon: 37.5 KHz Battery: 6yr shelf life 30 day
operation
-
- COCKPIT VOICE RECORDER
-
- Time recorded: 30 min continuous, 2 hours for solid
state digital units Number of channels: 4 Impact tolerance: 3400 Gs
/6.5ms Fire resistance: 1100 deg C /30 min Water pressure resistance:
submerged 20,000 ft Underwater locator beacon: 37.5 KHz Battery: 6yr
shelf life 30 day operation
-
- These specifications indicate equipment which can
survive just about any conditions and any crash. Indeed, Black Boxes
have been recovered from crashes in swamps, mountains, and
oceans.
-
- ABC News reports:
-
- "Although investigators look for an entire black
box, sometimes the only parts of the device that survive are the
recorder's crash-survivable memory units (CSMU). THE CSMU IS ALMOST
INDESTRUCTABLE. It is housed within a stainless-steel shell that
contains titanium or aluminum and a high-temperature insulation of dry
silica material."
-
- "It is designed to withstand HEAT OF UP TO 2,000
DEGREES FAHRENHEIT FOR ONE HOUR, salt water for at least 30 days,
immersion in a variety of liquids such as jet fuel and lubricants, AND
AN IMPACT OF 3,400 G's. By comparison, astronauts are typically
exposed to up to six Gs during a shuttle takeoff." [ABCNews]
-
- So the Black Box is designed to withstand an impact
of 3,400 G's. So what about the Pennsylvania crash site?
-
- "THE VOICE RECORDER WAS SAID TO BE HEAVILY DAMAGED,
and the manufacturer was being asked to help with further analysis.
The plane that crashed in Pennsylvania was reported to have hit the
ground in excess of 500 MILES PER HOUR." [ABCN
ews]
-
- The plane hit the ground at 500 mph. Taking the
weight of the plane, its speed of descent, the G's end up much, much
lower than 3,400.
-
- Since each plane has two seperate Black Boxes which
are designed to be indestructable in the event of a tragedy, that
makes a total of EIGHT BLACK BOXES. If we are to believe that all the
Black Boxes were damaged beyond use, then that is to say EIGHT BLACK
BOXES in total were destroyed, while a measley paper passport
survived.
-
- Then the final paragraph of the same article says:
"Investigators are less confident they will recover the black boxes
buried underneath the rubble of the World Trade Center." So there is
no hope of recovering the virtually indestructable Black Box from the
rubble, but a paper passport survives in such a perfect state that it
is "a significant piece of evidence"?
-
- CNN reports one of the hijackers passports was found
in the rubble of the World Trade Center vicinity:
-
- "The searchers found several clues, he said, but
would not elaborate. Last week, a passport belonging to one of the
hijackers was found in the vicinity of Vesey Street, near the World
Trade Center. 'It was a significant piece of evidence for us,' Mawn
said." [
CNN]
-
- Also CNN reports:
-
- "In New York, several blocks from the ruins of the
World Trade Center, a passport authorities said belonged to one of the
hijackers was discovered a few days ago, according to city Police
Commissioner Bernard Kerik." [CNN
]
-
- Aside from the idiocy of any suggestion that a
passport would survive a plane crash that is allegedly so severe it
destroys the virtually indestructable Black Box, we are also led to
believe that the passport "flew away", out of the hijackers pocket,
down a few blocks from the WTC grounds. Why a few blocks away? Could
it be because it was a place out of everyone's sight?
-
- It is also well known that paper was strewn all over
the scene of the plane crash. This was due to the sudden shattering of
the windows which would immediately eject all paper materials out of
the building before incineration. A passport in someone's pocket who
is sitting on a plane that explodes will suffer the same fate as the
person whose pocket it is in, and the plane they are sitting in:
absolute cremation.
-
- United Airlines flight 93 crashed into a field in
Pennsylvania. There was no explosion and no impact into a building and
no 100+ story towers crashed down on top of it. Yet, we are led to
believe that both of its Black Boxes were destroyed and/or damaged
beyond use as well.
-
- Other airline tragedies also reveal that in each and
every case the Black Box is recovered, albeit damaged, but with full
usability. Such crashes include EgyptAir flight 990, a 767, and TWA
flight 800, a 747. Both crashes resulted in tremendous compromise of
the planes physical integrity, but in spite of this the Cockpit Voice
Recorders were recovered.
-
- So we have established that the survival of a
passport of someone in an exploded plane is lunacy. However, for the
sake of argument lets say the passport survived. If the passport did
indeed survive then so did the Black Box. If the Black Box did indeed
survive as we have proven beyond a shred of doubt, then why the
complete and utter lie that it was damaged beyond use? What are they
hiding? This will be dealt with irrefutably in the next section of
this analysis into the corruption which has seeped into the U.S.
government, its foreign policy and its intelligence services.
-
- This analysis has just begun, yet any sound minded
person is already forced to question the validity of this entire
farce. I intend to dismantle this investigation piece by piece as time
allows. If the American people are so concerned with finding justice,
why aren't more exposing these inconsistencies, fabrications and
outright lies as I have? Do we Americans want JUSTICE SERVED or do we
want MORE BLOOD of innocent civilians? Thus far, in the United States
of America, due to the anger over the tragedy dubbed "PENTTBOM", there
have been at least three homicidal attacks against immigrants. Now an
overwhelming 80% of them are supporting an invasion into a remote
country that has absolutely nothing to do with this tragedy. Instead
of using their heads to get to the bottom of this and prosecute the
criminals behind this act, they are killing their neighbors, and
laying the heads of good American soldiers and innocent Afghan women
and children on the chopping block. I say "them" at this point and not
"us", because I distance myself from those who commit hate crimes in
the name of "America" whom I have just described. Someone is playing a
very sick game upon us all right under our noses, and it will cost us
our very lives if we do not STOP them.
-
- ABC News reports: "...And 69 percent say they'd
support military action even if it means a long war with substantial
U.S. military casualties."
-
- You want "substantial U.S. military casualties"?
What the hell is wrong with everyone? The Afghans have never lost a
war in 800 years. They not only drove the Russians out of their
country but it lead to the dissolution of the Soviet Empire. They have
brought empire after empire to their knees. In a CNN interview with
Jill Dougherty, Leo Korolkov who trained the Russian Special Forces
(equivalent of our Delta Force) said he saw Afghans shot to ribbons
and ripped to pieces still charging at them. In his words: "These
fighters can bring any country, even a superpower -- be it Russia, the
United States or Europe -- to the brink of catastrophe."
-
- Nearly 70 percent of Americans support sacrificing
more American lives to invade a country that couldn't be further
removed from any responsibility in this tragedy to find ONE MAN before
this circus of an investigation has even been completed. Have we
learned nothing from the plumes of terror that rose from the ashes of
the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a morose field in
Pennsylvania which shook our hearts and souls that fateful Tuesday? I
fear that we have not.

- Jeff,
-
- I have dealt with the manufacture of military hot
section parts for 25+ years. I know the alloys that are used. I know
their cost and their worth as scrap metal. I also know that the alloys
used in the manufacture of the Black Boxes are of this type material.
Very well, you say. But so what? ... there is more to it...
-
- I have seen these black boxes and also their
contents. They are incredibly simple - but incredibly ingenious.
Picture a pile of newspapers or magazines in the dump, in a fire, only
the outer edges are damaged-after years of sitting. They are made of P
A P E R. The black boxes are made of extremely strong and resilient
materials. More importantly, the material that holds the information
is not what the FBI would like you to know about.
-
- This material is made of the most indestructible
alloys known to man. They can take temperatures over 2000 Deg. F and
never know that they had been hot! They can survive salt water
immersion for a lot longer (years) than investigators would let them
lay there. (They are usually found within a few days.) But most
importantly, they are not simple tapes or cassettes made of plastic,
but they are thin strips of this "hot-section" type "super"
alloy.
-
- The same type as used in the afterburner sections of
the F-15's and F-16's--the parts that get white hot, over, and over,
and over and still keeps on working.
-
- But - and here is the beginning of what is truly
brilliant, they are marked with a stylus not so much different than
that of our old 33 1/3 vinyl albums, but in reverse. The information
is scribed into this alloy along with timing "nicks" for time/date
reference. Here comes the good part: Now, the marked strip is "rolled"
up into a continuous roll of high temperature alloy that by design
only allows the EDGES of the roll to be exposed to damage (THE DATA
ARE IN THE CENTER OF THE STRIP), while the mass of the continuous
strip shields the "whole" from damage. What we have is a nearly
indestructible roll of data material inside of a nearly indestructible
box that is not unlike the magazines or newspaper that survives years
of exposure and can still be read as P A P E R!!!!
-
- So, when the FBI tells us that the boxes were nearly
destroyed--you can think perhaps...BUT, during their near destruction
(or even total destruction), they did what they were designed to
do--to protect the metal roll that by design is nearly indestructible
by itself.
-
- ---NO DATA?--BALONEY!!!!!!!
-
- Please let the citizens of America know the
truth.
