Secrets of the Fed - Wallace Miller is the coroner of Somerset County, Pennsylvania. He was among the first people to arrive at the alleged Flight 93 crash site on the morning of 9/11.

He later recounted to the Washington Post what he’d seen when he first got there:

“I stopped being coroner after about 20 minutes, because there were no bodies there. It became like a giant funeral service.” (Peter Perl, “Hallowed Ground,” Washington Post, 5/12/2002)

Since there were 44 people on board Flight 93, a crash site with “no bodies” makes no sense. Where were the victims? Something appears to have been seriously wrong. Yet Miller now seems to dispute his earlier claim.

In the recent BBC documentary 9/11: The Conspiracy Files, he explained:

“I said that I stopped being a coroner after about 20 minutes because it was perfectly clear what the cause and manner of death was gonna be.

"This is the most eerie thing. I have not, to this day, seen a single drop of blood. Not a drop."

It was a plane crash but yet it was a homicide because the terrorists hijacked the plane and killed the people, and the terrorists committed suicide.

So from that point, yes it was a misquote, because the point that I was trying to make was, after that it more or less became a large funeral service.

“The BBC documentary’s producer Guy Smith endorsed this claim, telling Loose Change creator Dylan Avery thatMiller meant his earlier statement only as 'a simile. … It looked as if that had happened. … But he didn’t mean that literally.'” (9/11: The Conspiracy Files, BBC 2, 2/18/2007)

Was the Washington Post mistaken? Did they “misquote” Wallace Miller? Other reports suggest differently.

In the 12 months following 9/11, Miller in fact described the surprising lack of human remains at the Flight 93 crash site, repeatedly and unequivocally: He told author David McCall:

“I got to the actual crash site and could not believe what I saw. … Usually you see much debris, wreckage, and much noise and commotion. This crash was different. There was no wreckage, no bodies, and no noise. … It appeared as though there were no passengers or crew on this plane.” (David McCall, From Tragedy to Triumph, 2002, pp. 86-87)
