Apologies for starting -another- 9/11 thread, but all the Pentagon ones seemed dead so I am.
I was watching Seconds from Disaster: Flight 77 last night and one of the things that I'd never heard before, and there were a number of them, was that they recovered the tip of the port wing from out of the ground near the building indicating that the tip of the wing and the port engine had in fact hit the ground milliseconds before the nose hit the building.
Has anyone heard anything about this previously?

Aren't there any conspiracies that don't involve Apollo or 9/11?

Pearl Habour, JFK, HARRP, UFO are ETV's....
But that wasn't what I was asking about, I wanted to know if anyone had any further information about them finding the tip of the wing since such a find would proof beyond normal* people's reasonable doubt that the plane was there and hit the building.
*I'll leave it to others to define this.

Not necessarily. Just a bad attitude; one wing dipped.

If these things keep up, the rest of us'll have a bad attitude, too.
In other news, my wonderful roommate got chatted up by a guy on the Greyhound today who gave her all sorts of silly 9/11 conspiracy stuff, which she lovingly passed on to me so I could have a giggle.

His name wasn't Dylan was it? Can anyone spot the wingtip in this short video? I see FBI agents, trucks and a moon buggy but I can't see anything that resembles any airplane crash I've ever seen film of.  www.youtube.com/watch?v=869bO4jI1po |

No, it's well recognised that it struck on an angle with the port wing angled down towards the ground. If the program was right, then it was low enough to strike the ground. I do know that there was damage to the concrete in that area, but hadn't heard of them locating part of the wing tip there. The plane wouldn't have done anything after that since it did it at approximately the same instant that the plane hit the side of the building.
Oh, and for those that claim that the parts were planted in the building and no-one was there, should try telling that to the workers whose offices got hit and the families of the colleuges they lost.

I hadn't heard of this before, either. But I do find it interesting, and I have some questions...
Did the movie disclose any other characteristics? Is it consistent with the tip being driven into the dirt while initially attached to the plane? Or could it have been driven into the ground from the force of the impact (with the Pentagon) after the tip had become detached?
Either way, I'm not sure that its discovery will dispel the conspiracy claims of planted evidence.

Unfortunately no, which is why I was wanting to find out more about it, since I had never heard it before. Seconds from Disaster is generally pretty good as far as research goes, so they must have gotten it from somewhere, I just don't know where.
