I live in the UK and have never heard it even voiced that the "unsuccessful" kamikaze passenger jet was shot down by the US military.
i too live in the uk, and i DO remember it being reported in the news on tv, and in the papers though all i could find was this solitary article:
WHAT DID HAPPEN TO FLIGHT 93? - daily mirror report
worldnetdaily.com - report on the mirror article
further evidence (taken from the mirror article)
UA93: THE EVIDENCE
THE WITNESSES
At least SIX witnesses, including Susan Mcelwain saw a small military type plane flying around shortly BEFORE UA93 crashed. The FBI denies its existence
THE DEBRIS
The US Government insists the plane exploded on impact yet a one-ton section of the engine was found over a mile away and other light debris was found scattered over eight miles away
THE MOBILE CALL
Passenger Edward Felt made an emergency call from the plane. He spoke of an explosion and seeing some white smoke. The superviser who took the call has been gagged by the FBI
THE F-16s
UA93 was identified as a hijack at 9.16am. At 9.35am three F-16s were ordered to "protect the White House at all costs" when it turned towards the capital. At 10.06am it crashed at Shanksville, less than 10mins flying time from Washington
THE BLACK BOXS
Sources claim the last thing heard on the cockpit voice recorder is the sound of wind - suggesting the plane had been holed
THE SONIC BOOM
The FBI insists there was no military plane in the area but at 9.22am a sonic boom - caused by a supersonic jet - was picked up by an earthquake monitor in southern Pennsylvania, 60 miles away from Shanksville.
i personally dont have an opinion of what actually happened to flight 93, but there is a weight of evidence on the WWW - whether it is right or wrong is for you to decide.
