There is no magic speed that makes planes suddenly fall apart. The aircraft accelerated during the descent. If they had continued at low altitude it would have begun decelerating pretty quickly.

It was a clear sunny day with unlimited visibility so no instrument flying required. All it took was to visually ID the target, line the plane up and keep the building in the cockpit window while maxing out the throttles, no miracles required. It's assumed that HH was in the pilot's seat because the hijack teams consisted of a trained pilot with a crew of muscle to get him into the cockpit, just a logical conclusion made in that regard.
Your point about the traffic camera is interesting though and I'd like to find out a bit more more about that (like was it recording that morning?)

There you go again, trying to make it seem like he flew 20 feet off the ground for miles, when the reality is that it was less than 10 seconds just prior to impact. Once again you try to make it into something it wasn't.

A descending spiral is not that hard of a maneuver. He was in more danger of leveling off too late than he was nose diving into the ground. And all he had to do to prevent that was level off early and descend the rest of the way in level flight.

There was ONE 747 in the area, and it wasn't Flight 77. It was an E-4B that left Andrews AFTER 77 hit.
Why is it so hard for you to understand it wasn't a 747?

James Fetzer, is a moron. As is Craig Ranke, Dylan Avery and the assorted other idiots they worked with to badger/edit witness accounts to make their idiotic videos that help them make a living off people who do not want to research.
