Beverly Eckert, whose husband, Sean Rooney was killed in the attack on the World Trade Center, was one of the passengers aboard the plane that crashed into a house 10 miles from Buffalo, New York, airport late on Thursday. She was a 9/11 activist who had questioned the official account of the attacks, sued the government and consistently lobbied for an Investigative Commission. I have some questions about this plane crash. Does everyone have "short term memory loss" in this country? The initial reports said the crew communicated "no problems" before the crash. Then, later stories said the crew discussed ICE. So, which is it? In all the earlier reports, experts were stupefied as to why a brand new plane crashed and the communications were cut and the crew radioed in no problems. Now, it's the ICE story! How did an NTSB federal official suddenly come up with the story that the crew "discussed ice"? When the first reports said they didn't? The crew discussed ice with WHOM and WHEN and HOW?...oh! And I forgot to tell you! She just met with Obama last week about re-investigating 9/11! Is this a message to/from Obama not to pursue re-investigating 9/11?
We need to know why all the first reports said the crew radioed in no problems, and then a federal official steps in later and says the crew discussed ice! How did he know the crew discussed ice? Did he have a special radio that they called only him on?
These are legitimate questions that reporters are not asking!
So, the crew radioed in "no problems"...and they discussed ice on the wings...
So, the weather was good...and it wasn't...
MIRACULOUSLY, A LONE NTSB SPOKESAGENT ALREADY KNOWS THE DETAILS OF THE PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS IN THE COCKPIT IN THE MOMENTS PRIOR TO THE CRASH, DESPITE THEM NOT BEING TRANSMITTED VIA RADIO, AND DESPITE NOT HAVING YET HEAD THE RECORDINGS FROM THE BLACK BOX, WHICH HAD YET TO BE REVIEWED AT THE TIME OF HIS STATEMENT:
"The crew discussed significant ice buildup, ice on the windshield and leading edge of the wings," said Steve Chealander, an NTSB spokesman. "The crew briefed the weather to themselves in the cockpit and reported that visibility was three miles (4.8 kilometres) with snow and mist in the vicinity."
I want to be CLEAR: I am not debating whether ice can bring down a plane, I want to know why all the initial stories said the crew radioed in "no problems", then the story shifted to a federal official saying "the crew discussed ice", then it changed to "the crew discussed ice on the black box voice recorder - yet the black boxes hadn't been read yet when NTSB spokesman Steve Chealander made his statement that the crew discussed ice on the black box voice recorders!
Beverly Eckert: “I want to know what went so wrong with our intelligence and security systems that a band of religious fanatics was able to turn four U.S. passenger jets into an enemy force, attack our cities and kill 3,000 civilians with terrifying ease. I want to know why two 110-story skyscrapers collapsed in less than two hours and why escape and rescue options were so limited.”

9/11 Activist Who Sued Government Killed In Buffalo Plane Crash
UPDATE: Do planes catch fire before they hit the ground, when there's icing on them???
"I saw the plane a second or two before it hit the ground. You could see it was just starting to catch fire. You could see some flames glowing. Then it just collapsed, just went right down," said Tomasita, Trujillo's 12-year-old daughter.
"The Newark, N.J.-to-Buffalo flight didn't nose-dive into the house, as initially reported by some witnesses, Chealander said (the NTSB federal official who did not witness the crash)."
One witness, who gave his name only as Tony, told a local television station that the plane flew right over his car, "nose down." "Left wing was slightly down, pitched sideways, if you will," he said. "It was on a direct line down."
