    When writing a report the time of guessing is over .. All the things you mentioned above are easy verifiable ... from the command center on 6th to 6th and king is 3km ... that is NOT nearby, and Barclay is even further away from 6th and king ... according to my search
    And? Could it not be that they simply didn't bother too much with that snippet, it being a non-story and assumed that them both being on 6th meant that they were near each other?
    Or that they considered 3km, or less between King and Barclay, to be "close"?

    No but it is thought (food) for discussion
    But there's no evidence to suggest that a second van existed when there are reasonable explanations for the discrepancy without inventing vast conspiracies or even a second van.

    As said above that could well be ... The report leaves plenty room for discussion ...But the Video BB posted does the same
    But the report clearly states that the van with a mural did not explode.
    The report very much does not support what's in the video or what BB is claiming.

    I dont know KM, but I'm not ruling anything out .... the whole panic excuse is pretty much non valid i think,
    Why is it not valid?
    I've already posted an example of the police mistaking something clearly innocuous for a bomb and taking it seriously enough to call out the bomb squad, shut down streets and make arrests. And this is without the extra stress and panic of actual terrorist attacks occurring.

    So people mistaking something for a mural during this time to confusion, panic and stress is impossible?

    .... I also find it strange that i can't find no pictures of a Van with such a painting driving around there that day ...
    And there's not pictures of it's wreckage or it's damage despite exploding in the middle of the street on a day when thousands of people had their cameras out and the police getting people out of thier homes while they deal with it.
    Yet there's not a single photo.
    Not a single report beyond the transmission that BB posted.
    Not one civilian witness.
    And no witnesses at all who said that the van exploded.

    It is strange, almost like no van actually exploded at all.

    Did they let the guys go after they searched the Van @ the command center loading up with explosives after and driving to 6th and king?? Who knows... again Timeline is important
    But again this is based on the totally unsupported and silly premise that there was two or more vans or they are actually referring to two separate incidents.
    But they're not. So a timeline is redundant.
    If you think it's important, it's your job to track it down.
    weisses wrote: »
    That's my whole problem .. i tend to believe both
    So in that case, you cannot say that the report supports what BB is claiming.
    You either have to: 1. Invent an entire van and separate bomb scare for which there is no evidence or 2. come to the conclusion that one of them is wrong.

    But since you "believe both", you then agree that a van exploded?
    And if this is the case, why did you give out to Diogenes for suggesting you believed a van exploded?

    Pedantry and a strawman.
    I said that running doesn't guarantee a charge of resisting arrest.
    It doesn't.
    Every example of a suspect running away from the police pre arrest is by definition resisting arrest.
    King Mob wrote: »
    And police officers, like all people are fallible.
    Therefore by that logic the witness testimony of "all people" is worthless due to their fallibility. Which is as nonsensical as it sounds.
    King Mob wrote: »
    the pair of suspects left the van and turned and moved away form the police officer, failing to notice or hear him, which he then misinterpreted as an attempt to flee.
    Absolutely ridiculous.
    King Mob wrote: »
    Or perhaps the cop's car was parked a good bit away and when they left the van and he had to run after them to get them to stop?
    Equally ridiculous.
    King Mob wrote: »
    But then this is all pretty irrelevant as them running does not prove their guilt.
    It's not irrelevant as it is "clearly" a strong indicator of wrongdoing.
    King Mob wrote: »
    But that's not a given I'm afraid. I would like to see pictures of the van before and after, other witnesses to the van, the arrests and the explosion... Basically more that one source.
    Well that's impossible due to the media blackout and investigations like the 9-11 Commission wilfully ignoring it. Where's Popular Mechanics when you need them?
    King Mob wrote: »
    So just to be sure, the only actual source you have that the van exploded was the record featured in the earlier video.
    You have nothing else to confirm that happened?
    Internal communications from the Police Officers in the line of duty and on the scene describing the van exploding is ample evidence which you also wilfully ignore.
    King Mob wrote: »
    Because there might have been a bigger story that a false alarm bomb scare on 9/11?
    Like building 7 falling while it was still standing? This is part of the 9.11 story and is an undeniably a newsworthy story. Don't let that stop you though.

    Every example of a suspect running away from the police pre arrest is by definition resisting arrest.
    And the cops still have to charge you with it and then you have to be convicted of it. And neither of those are guaranteed.
    Therefore by that logic the witness testimony of "all people" is worthless due to their fallibility. Which is as nonsensical as it sounds.
    Another strawman. However since all witness testimony is fallible, in the absence of supporting evidence their testimony cannot be reliable.

    It's possible that the police officer was wrong or misreported something.
    So there are explanations that explain the facts without relying on a massive conspiracy that you can't even provide a ration explanation for.
    Absolutely ridiculous.

    Equally ridiculous.
    Why are they ridiculous?
    Why is either impossible?
    It's not irrelevant as it is "clearly" a strong indicator of wrongdoing.
    Well assuming we do live in the dystopia world you apparently want us to and the running is a valid reason for being shot, how does running prove that they had explosives? It could just be indicative of them being "guilty" of something else?
    Well that's impossible due to the media blackout and investigations like the 9-11 Commission wilfully ignoring it. Where's Popular Mechanics when you need them?
    But it would also be impossible if the explosion never actually happened, wouldn't it?
    Internal communications from the Police Officers in the line of duty and on the scene describing the van exploding is ample evidence which you also wilfully ignore.
    But here's the thing BB, I'm not ignoring it. I was just making sure that it was worth my time addressing.

    But since you actually are still ignoring my original point, I'm still somewhat doubtful.

    So since your only evidence at all is the recording could you indicate which point of the video proves that the van exploded?
    Like building 7 falling while it was still standing? This is part of the 9.11 story and is an undeniably a newsworthy story. Don't let that stop you though.
    Why? You only think it's a newsworthy story because you want it to be a part of a conspiracy. (What conspiracy and how it fits you are incapable of explaining...)
    But unfortunately a false bomb scare on a random street was not news on the day.

    Because you don't seem to grasp the concept that the report is saying the exact opposite of what Brown Bomber is saying.
    The report does not support the idea that any van exploded. The report does not supply evidence for a conspiracy or cast doubt on the official story.
    If anything is a non-point it's you bringing up the report.
    weisses wrote: »

    And in the above example they had plenty of time to check out the devices, yet they still described them as "bomb like" and treated them as dangerous for hours.
    How can this be?
    Why can a similar but much less silly cock up not happen in New York on 9/11.

    Were I have said anyone is "just silly"?

    I don't think that the timeline is important as it would have little effect on my explanations.
    However if you think it is important, why not provide it and show how it excludes my explanations.
    But I think you either know that such a timeline wouldn't have an effect on my explanation, not could you actually put one together, hence why you are trying to deflect the point.

    No it doesn't ... I said that where the Van was pulled over .. NEARBY the command center is miles away from 6th and King so maybe there could be another Van, not saying it is true but leaving the possibility open, the fact that it is not in the report doesn't mean it didn't happen

    No I can't because neither source provides such information.
    You are the one positing that there was two vans, the onus on you is to show that they both existed.

    Neither the recording or the report indicate that there was any sort of suspicious van there.


    And again your off on your assuming mission ... i said there is a possibility of maybe 2 Vans because of the distance between the Two locations, i need a timeline to check the possibility of two Vans and you could need the timeline to dismiss it ...

    This is not an answer to my question or my point.

    You said that the authors of the report couldn't have mistakenly believed that the van was closer to the command centre than it was, ot that they believed that 3km was "close".
    So how do you know these explanations are impossible.

    The device at the centre of the Boston bomb square. These were taken as serious threats for hours despite having a cartoon character on them.
    So how is this possible if we are to believe what you are implying, that police can never mistake something for something else?

    What was I assuming exactly?
    I provided explanations for the dependency based on both locations. So my explanation is not dependant on a timeline

    Yours is, so the onus is on you to provide the timeline as it is the only thing you have to suggest there was two van.

    All the other evidence and common sense points to there only being one van and that van not exploding as per the report that you provided.
    weisses wrote: »

    Yea maybe or maybe there wasn't an explosion at all?
    So if there exists an explanation for the report that does not involve a massive conspiracy, why assume that this incident has anything to do with the massive conspiracy.
    weisses wrote: »

    You gave out to Diogenes for suggesting you might believe that there was an explosion despite what the report you posted said.
    You have spent the last few pages inventing imaginary vans so you can say there might have been an explosion.

    You know what really is actually unlikely? A second van for which there's no evidence for it's existence.

    No you are not making any sense there .. its not what you think is right its what's in the report .... you can argue this to hell and back but 3 km is not nearby in Manhattan and remember this is the command center closest to 6th and king not necessarily the one the Van got stopped

    A Van driving around in Manhattan with a Mural of a plane htting the WTC on 9/11 right after the attacks could make it part of a conspiracy yes

    About answering questions ..... How about you answering mine ..you know the one you claimed i was giving out to di0genes the one i asked for a proper answer 3 times .... still waiting

    Your always giving out to people not answering your questions but this is the third discussion we are having that you cannot backup your claims ... i see a pattern forming

    The van and the command centre were both on 6th. Someone unfamiliar with New York might have believed that this means that they were very close as I did before looking it up.

    Well first off you, the video and the report use a lot a different descriptions of the so called mural. So far it's been "A plane flying towards the twin towers" and "A plane flying towards New York" then there's also "the plane flying in.." and the "plane exploding over..."
    None of that seems very consistent and all points to the fact that this "mural" was pretty open to interruption.
    But then my example shows that the police finding this threatening does not prove anything, because the police also found images of a cartoon character made out of lite-brites "threatening."
    The police make mistakes like that.
    you can ignore that fact if you like.

    And the thousand other questions that claiming that the van are part of the conspiracy seems to beg.

    Again you plug your ears and pretend that my explanation doesn't make sense or is unlikely. But no one has actually been able to show any sane or rational alternative that shows the conspiracy.

    But you are "thinking in behalf of the makers of the report". You are saying they meant a a different truck. You are saying that they could not have possibly meant what I am suggesting that they could have meant.
    I've suggested a pair of plausible explanations. Your alternative is a a second van for which there is no evidence for and presupposes a vast conspiracy.
    You have not been able to suggest why my explanations are wrong or implausible you have just stated they are and refused to support your argument.

    Like perhaps the police misidentifying something innocuous as a serious threat?
    Like maybe a completely innocuous advertising thing with a picture of a cartoon character made out of a children's toy?

    So it happened then, why can't it happen on 9/11?

    And then what is the scenario you are suggesting that explains why there were these mural trucks in the first place?
    Can you provide the same thing you are asking me for, complete with evidence/proof?

    And since you believe the claims of the report, do you believe that the truck was "an innocent delivery truck"?

    Well I have done so several times.
    I am suggesting that the police mistook what was painted on the van as a "mural" of the attacks.

    I am using my example (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Boston_bomb_scare) to show that the police can and do mistake innocuous items (such as the items in my example) as something threatening.
    Hence my example is an example of what I am claiming could possibly and likely did happen.
    Hence it is relevant.

    I do not know if Weisses's example is relevant or not because I do not know what point he is attempting to make, that's why I asked him.
    Nearest I can guess is that he is trying to suggest that I am claiming that the police never get it right or that something that looks innocent could be dangerous.
    The first I am not claiming and is therefore not relevant, the second is irrelevant because I have not claimed otherwise and we are not discussing something the police regarded as "innocent".

    So again, why is my example not relevant and why is Weisses's?

    But the thing is, the police in my example were looking at the "devices" clearly and could still see that they had a cartoon character on them, yet they were still treated as dangerous and they declared them as such.

    So it's likely that the same thing happened in the 9/11 example.
    They either saw a van with something that could have been mistaken as the claimed mural, or heard second hand reports of the mural, and treating it as suspicious and dangerous.

    the cartoon character was not what made them think they were dangerous, the electronics and circuit boards visible were what resulted in them being classified as dangerous.

    similarly the reason the vans are suspicious, were not the murals alone, but the fact of who was driving them and what was happening that day.

    And at no point did I ever argue that the police were not justified in stopping and searching the van.

    But in both cases they clearly misidentified what they saw, showing that the police can misidentify what they say and take these things seriously on very flimsy basis.
    So the police reporting a "mural" does not necessarily mean it actually was a mural when there are much more plausible explanations.

    ok, you are saying that incorrect deduction is equivalent to incorrect reporting :confused::confused::confused:

    what about the buildings that the plane flew into? just because the police reported that planes flew into buildings, as you claim with your example, does not necessarily mean it actually happened, when there are much more plausible explanations.

    does that show you the fallacy in your example and the argument you are using to apply it in this context?

    It would, if it was a comparable example, but it is not.
    With the planes we have 100's of hours of video, 1000's of photos, multiple eyewitnesses confirming the exact same thing independently, the resulting damage and found wreckage and human remains positively identifying the exact planes that crashed.

    Now had the example you are now using been applicable to what I'm actually saying, we would have no photos or video, no wreckage, no damage and a bare handful of witnesses who all give different and contradictory statements.
    Now if a police officer claimed that he saw a plane hit, and all of that stuff applied, would you believe him? Or would you look for a more plausible answer?

    And it's the same here. There's no photo or video showing the mural (let alone any evidence that the van exploded) and everyone gave conflicting reports of the mural. And then the idea of a van having a mural does not make a lick of sense, no one has been able to offer even a stupid sounding conspiracy explanation for the van let alone a a sane rational one.

    So the most likely explanation from the verifiable evidence is that the van was an innocent deliver truck that had either a logo or an advertisement on it that was misconstrued by the police (or someone reporting it to the police) to be depicting an attack. The police then acted as they would when faced with something they determine is suspicious even though it really wasn't, exactly like in the Boston example I posted.
