Extremely strange passenger cancellations on 9-11-01

[Joseph McBride]

American Airlines Flight 77 took off from Dulles
on the morning of 9/11 supposedly headed to LA. My research indicated
it probably went down in the woods outside of Ashland, Kentucky -- which
was approximately the last known location when the plane's transponder went out of contact
with flight control. The local sheriff's office was called to send out a small plane
to look for the crash site of a large airliner in the woods near Ashland. This was reported in the local paper. Then we didn't hear any more.

I'd love to hear more about your 9/11 research, Joseph.

Some years back I checked the map for where the plane went off the radar
and saw that the nearest town was Ashland, Kentucky. So I Googled for the
Ashland paper and, sure enough, found a story from the next edition of the paper
following the 9/11 incidents that the local sheriff's office had been asked on the morning of 9/11
to send a small plane up to look for a large passenger plane that supposedly had
crashed in the woods. I should have made a copy of that story, because
it has vanished from the web. There was no further report that I could find in the Ashland paper.
Some people in Ashland must know what happened there. This incident tends to be supported by
Richard Clarke's account and other accounts that a large passenger plane was believed
to be down in that area. It was not until mid-afternoon that the story
was officially discounted. There is no credible evidence the plane hit the Pentagon.
(There are also those strange reports, seemingly well-documented, about the plane possibly landing
in Cleveland and the passengers being removed from it there.)

I also did a fair amount of searching about the disposition of the
bodies of the alleged Flight 77 victims, especially Barbara Olson. I found
that those bodies supposedly were not released to the families until
that December, a long time to wait. Olson supposedly was buried in Wisconsin.
I checked the Dover Air Force Base website and found a press release from shortly
after 9/11 that listed the number of bodies it reported processed
from the Pentagon. That number, curiously enough, was the exact number of the
persons reported killed in the Pentagon but did not include the number of
the passengers aboard the plane, even though the press had reported those
bodies were also processed at Dover. That Dover AFB press release remained
online for some time. Unfortunately, I also did not make a copy of it, and
now it is gone.

Another strange fact is that in his eulogy for Barbara Olson at the Cathedral of St. Thomas
More Cathedral in Arlington, Va., on Sept. 15, 2001, Father Franklyn McAfee
said this:

"We believe that Barbara Olson is alive, not just in our hearts and in our memories, but actually alive, fully conscious and aware. Now. We know this because Christ is risen from the dead. And if it isn't true, if Barbara is really gone and gone forever, if you will never see her smile again, or hear her laughter, then this is all playacting. And I had better go and get another job. Because there is an empty tomb in Jerusalem, our hearts, though mourning, are full today. We will see Barbara again. Death cannot win against life. Christians are those who, in the midst of December, believe in Spring."

"[A]ctually alive, fully conscious and aware"? If not, "then this is all playacting"?
