Windshield glass as stated before is safety glass - plastic layer holds
glass together . Can see that from pictures. Only very small fragments
of glass spall off during impact. Have seen it at numerous accident scenes
and drills. Cut fair number of windshields using electric saws, hand saws
and crash axe - the tough plastic and adhesives to bind it prevent from
fragmenting. Get very fine pieces. Only time will see injury you describe
is if victims face directly impacts windshield
That piece of glass missing from that teensey little hole in the windshield went somewhere.
IF that pole had hit that windshield as alleged, the small end would have passed Lloyde's head in the driver's seat at a speed of 40 mph
(58.6 feet per second) plus the speed that
YOUR aircraft allegedly hurled it. But you
9-11 perp defenders all believe that
YOUR
aircraft impact at 535 mph just gently laid the 337 pound light poles down, at the same time tearing the truss arms and light heads violently off the
main poles and tearing some of the poles in two. Aren't 9-11 physics laws just great?
Where light poles fell - red dots are original bases
Assuming for the moment that Lloyde was actually driving the taxi, and not sitting in it up on a flatbed truck, and assuming also that Lloyde was not
weaving from lane to lane like a drunk, the light pole would have flown at Lloyde
at an angle from its broken off base, when allegedly struck
by the outer portion of the right wing,
to the hole in the windshield.
757 wingspan 124 feet 10 inches
The closer Lloyde was to
YOUR aircraft, the greater the angle to the windshield would have been. There is no possible way that light pole hit
the passenger seat through that hole in the center of the windshield. If Lloyde was anywhere beneath
YOUR alleged aircraft or left wing when
allegedly struck, then
the small end of the pole and the glass fragments
would have struck Lloyde directly in the head and ruined his
seat.
However Lloyde and his seat seem to be just fine. But you guys with your sudden love for 21st Century 9-11 physics, think the 200+ pound 33 foot long
pole levitated there somehow in some magical fashion, floating there patiently waiting in Lloyde's lane for Lloyde and his windshield to arrive.
That will not work. Lloyde was supposed to be driving along at 40 mph (58.6 feet per second) when he claimed the long light pole smashed into his
windshield. Then after Lloyde gathered his senses, he hit the brakes, and skidded to a sideways stop after allegedly going 40 feet. So the principle
of levitation will no longer work, and we have the big problem with the trajectory of the pole and Lloyde's poor head.
YOUR aircraft had to
hurl the light pole towards the windshield at least 40 feet or more. Right at poor Lloyde's head.
Enough with this light pole fairy tale. I'm sick of it. You OCT fanatics believe whatever you want.
