Aaaahhh, Mr Bryant....
No highly trained, 'on the job' military pilot, carrying high ranking intelligence officials, would 'get close' unless so stated in their mission parameters...or required by circumstance. Not everybody is a cowboy.
Mr Bryant, am I correct in my memories of you defending the pancake theory once upon a time, on these very boards? If so, are you government?

Sense of perspective
I think its your title I am reacting to but by some barmy coincidence I know the parents of the pilot of this particular story, I was a barman in their local for while. My father knew a few of the passangers...and thats about as much as he told me! Paul Burnham, who was piloting the Puma that crashed last year, was my house prefect at school...speaking as somebody who has witnessed the anguish - being blamed by your employer, publicly, after your death, has a devasting effect on the loved ones left behind.
If the pilots are innocent leave no stone unturned proving it, end of.
WTF? Because...well, WTF?

Utter joke...
...where is this going to stop? Somebody bought a CD and a few people sit in a room and listen to it. Where is the crime? Why does everybody need some money for anything to happen, in this case a few peeps chilling out? Will these numptys be charging kids they see sharing head phones on the bus...or those annoying chavs that play it out loud through their speaker phones? 'Sharing! Public place! WTF! That almost sounds like 'community' - Bill them, fun costs!'
Copright, image rights, liscensing - all words that mean 'greed', yet more and more invisible, contrived, nonsense BS...imagine if Homer had been this far up his own ass, issuing fines to anyone he heard retelling his tale, restricting culture for the sake of a few quid. Nonsense.

Come on Matt!
Quickly a reply to Mr. Bryant, I had read through the link you provide re. 9/11...I agree some of the stuff thats evolving from the 'troofers' is utter nonsense...but the pancake theory, come on, mate...I've seen pictures of people waving from the holes the planes made - that doesn't make it hot in my book, a hundred floors below certainly isn't going to be hot enough to destabilise steel yet both buildings came down in just over ten seconds, basically freefall...suggesting, by the accepted theory, that all the steel in the building had reached 1100 degrees (the temparature stated by that article to reduce steel strength to 50%) and therefore provide absolutley no friction at all (although I am sure even at 50% steel is still strong enough to combat gravity, especially that much steel). Even the laws of mass get in the way, or should I say out the way, of this.
Back on topic, and paraphrasing Bill Hicks, if they got these drones to deliver bananas to the starving billions, it would be money well spent...
