Yankees Pitcher Crash in NY High-Rise Tower Disproves a 9-11 Loose Change Conspiracy Theory
October 11th, 2006

In a horrible accident, Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle crashed his plane into a New York City high-rise today. From reading the reports on CNN it became apparent to me that one of the claims made by the biggest 9-11 conspiracy videos floating around the internet, “9/11 Loose Change” stipulating somethings are just not believable has today demonstrated itself to be possible.
I actually remark on this exact point when I first wrote, “Please don’t tell me I’m the one drinking the Kool-Aid” on Sunday, April 2nd, 2006.
And these are my favorite points the video makes… Oh man, this is just laughable if this is true. None of the black boxes were found, right! This is because there was so much damage and burnt rubble and just catastrophic debris from two of our nation’s largest buildings crashing down on the streets of NY. Well lucky for us, in the midst of all the violent wind that was caused due to the explosions and violent force of heat, one of the terrorist’s passports flew out of the plane and landed into the streets of NY. A FBI agent found the passport which lead them to confirm who one of the terrorist who died in the attack.
Well according to CNN “Yankees pitcher’s plane crashes into Manhattan high-rise” it was reported that “Emergency responders found his passport in the street below, the officials said”.
So to the folks who created 9/11 Loose Change, it appears it is possible a passport could fly out of a burning plane when it smacks into a high-rise!

While not a physicist, and definitely not qualified to debate the probability of whether a passport could have been found at WTC, I will say that it is definitely a stretch for you to make the comparison between a passport surviving this crash and a passport surviving the crash at WTC. The devastation was complete at WTC - this can hardly compare.
Kind of like dropping a water baloon off my desk and marveling at how it didn’t break. And then expecting the same result if you place a ton of dynamite in my office and blow up my house.

Absolute crap, note this guys death, 10/11/06. Write this down on a piece of paper and flip it over. There are no coincidences and how interesting is the claim that they found this guys passport. Why would an American flying local take a passport with him? There’s just no thinking in this country at all, only the tired old attack of ‘conspiracy’theorist.

I think I agree with Doc Reality. The whole thing is a way to discredit the 9/11 movie.
Doesn’t seem to be working.

Geeze, Talk about a stretch!!!! that post had NO weight to it. I know i am a little l;ate on a comment here, but that was about as tin foil as you can get trying to relate a local carrying a passport to a foreigner carrying a passport.
One is in a private plane and needs no passport, the other was on a commercial flight and a foreigner, So I can buy that, but not finding the passport out of a WTC crash. Just not plausable at all.
A Conspiracy theory is only a theory until you get enough evidence for it to become probable, and we have past probable long ago. It is now looking more like conspiracy fact than theory.
