Absolutely not. That plane will hit the building and bounce off although I have to admit I might be wrong about this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But isn't that a bit like arguing it wasn't the punch that killed the man, rather his head hitting the ground? Semantics surely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorlomin Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Now I am not saying this is a proven conspiracy theory, but 7 minutes of this raises very good questions about this very well known terrorist attack on one of the biggest military installations in history.

Honest_Man#1 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 That’s as clear a case of ‘moving the goalposts and using semantics to get out of it once the point has been proven to be incorrect’ as you’ll see from sjc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
