Here's a link to a news story that appeared on Pittsburgh's WTAE-TV website on September 12, 2001.

Notice these interesting facts:
* 24 hours after Flight 93 crashed, CNN had already obtained a transcript from the cockpit voice recorder stating that a) there was a bomb on board, and b) the voice was in "broken english."
How did CNN get this sensitive transcript in less than 24 hours?
* Presidential Press Secretary Ari Fleischer stated that the White House and Air Force 1 were the "targets" of Flight 93. How could he have possibly known this? How could anybody have known this?
* Congressman John Murtha decided that the passengers were heroes. ""It sure wasn't going to go down in rural Pennsylvania," U.S. Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., said Wednesday. "The target was Washington, D.C. Somebody made a heroic effort to keep the plane from hitting a populated area. I would conclude there was a struggle and a heroic individual decided 'I'm going to die anyway. I might as well bring the plane down here.'"
How could John Murtha know this on Sept. 12, 2001? How could Murtha conclude that the target was Washington D.C.?
How many people do you think would have to be involved in a conspiracy to cover-up the shooting down of Flight 93?
I also think the evacuation of Pittsburgh's Air Traffic Control tower at 9:49 am on 9/11/01 is a red flag that something was drastically wrong. The FAA also ordered all flights grounded in the U.S. at 9:49 am.
Why would they evacuate the Pittsburgh ATC tower when flights were still in the air, and when they could track Flight 93 from this tower? The only reason to evacuate the control tower is if they didn't want anybody to see what was on radar, or hear the voice transmissions, imo.
The FAA can't seriously expect anybody to believe that they evacuated the control tower for the safety of the controllers. In fact, evacuating the control tower in Pittsburgh implies that there was somebody else tracking Flight 93.
