I've yet to see any evidence that the alleged Flight AA77 hit the Pentagon, no serial part numbers, etc.
Thanks for reminding us all, again, that these witnesses saw the alleged plane fly NOC. A NOC flight path contradicts the official story and destroys it.

I asked you before - can YOU provide serial numbers for the Piper Cherokee, registration N312AG that crashed and killed 4 in the San Bernardino Mountain range, near Forest Falls, California, on Nov 9, 2008?
Ah contraire, again. The physical evidence of the impact means a north of Citgo flight path is impossible. Simple as that. The vaunted CIT witnesses are mistaken in their placement of the flight path, but are bang on regarding the impact.
THE NORTH APPROACH
TECHNICAL SUPPLEMENT TO:
9/11: THE NORTH FLIGHT PATH
AERODYNAMICALLY POSSIBLE – WITNESS COMPATIBLE

(rev 1.0)
This technical paper is a supplement to the video presentation "The North Flight Path: Aerodynamically Possible – Witness Compatible" and will serve to prove that a North Approach over the Naval Annex and north of the Citgo gas station is aerodynamically possible and consistent with witness statements. The analysis is based on USGS survey of the Arlington area using scale modeling of buildings, obstacles, elevation and overall witness statements who independently corroborate placement of an aircraft opposite the physical damage observed at the Pentagon on the 11th of September 2001.
More than one flight path will be evaluated to show best and worst case scenarios taking witness statements into consideration.
Considerations for Calculations;
- Aircraft type is unknown
- Stall Speed impossible to determine as outlined in the film.
- "Bank Angle" analysis based on level flight.
- "Pull Out" analysis based on Bank Angle and vertical acceleration required in the vertical plane to clear all obstacles and be consistent with witness statements.
- Speed: Flight Data Recorder (FDR) information not available for airborne vehicle witnessed on North Approach. Exact speed is impossible to determine based on witness statements. Several speeds are offered in this analysis including that of the Flight Data Recorder information plotted by the NTSB for this segment of flight in which many parameters conflict with a Pentagon "Impact". When using FDR information as plotted by the NTSB it would be technically inaccurate to focus on one parameter and ignore the rest for such a segment. Therefore, the reader must also understand FDR altitude as plotted by the NTSB for this segment has to be taken into consideration which shows too high to hit the Pentagon*. With that said, we will still demonstrate how even the highest and final FDR speed plotted by the NTSB at less than 1 second west of the pentagon wall, is still aerodynamically possible for the North Approach based on bank and G loading for conventional aircraft, as witnessed. All other speed data as plotted by the NTSB for this segment will lower aerodynamic requirements than those demonstrated in this paper utilizing final FDR speed.

Utter snake oil.
With a stated unknown aircraft, traveling at unknowable speeds, at an unknown altitude, on an assumed heading, the PDF proves... what exactly?
That if a plane... a Cessna even... were flying over the Navy Annex it could execute a maneuver that would allow it to fly over the Pentagon? Bravo. *golf clap*
Did any of the witnesses see the plane fly off into the distance?
Did any of the plethora of radar installations in the area track such an aircraft? Nope.
Did any other surrounding radar installations within 200 miles have a mystery plane appear on track that has never been resolved? Nope.
What were the set of exact, or even rough, measurements of the altitude of the plane as it passed over the heads of the witnesses and how was that determined? If this process was done for some witnesses, why not all? Would that not provide a vast amount of information to further estimate a complete flight path including all 3 dimensions? I assert that this information doesn't exist and cannot be determined from the witness statements, and thereby is completely arbitrary (ie: from the land of make-believe).
You know what's truly fantastic about that PDF? Note the distance at which the plane was to pass over the Pentagon.... Nearly 100 feet! No one saw this? Are you kidding?
An explosion cannot occur some 100ft below the bottom of the aircraft and have it obscure that aircraft unless the resultant fireball not only obscured the face of the Pentagon but also up to a height of 120ft or more... and do so at the speed of light.
Too bad that's totally inconsistent with the video frames released from the security camera video, physical damage and burn patterns, the Doubletree video, as well as eye witness testimony.
You may very well be correct.

It proves exactly what all you GL's said wasn't possible...in more ways
than one.

Gee, if it was that easy, why didn't all of those uneducated GL's pick up
on the fact that a north approach IS possible?
Originally posted by turbofan
Did any of those 13 witnesses on video see a south approach? Nope.
How many video witnesses do you have for a south approach? Zero?

You mean the proven altered RADES data?

See above. Hey about that poor excuse for an animation that the
NTSB has issued. I haven't seen any corrections, or explanations for
the anomalies found. Have you? Nope.
Originally posted by turbofan
We asked for that data for several days from the cry babies that said
NoC was impossible. We never received that data...probably because
they now know that a North approach is entirely possible thanks to
REAL pilots who actually fly REAL planes.
Why don't you ask your friends, or provide the data for us? Please
look back in this thread for the many requests for information to
rule out any excuses from the GL's.

Again, where are your SoC witnesses on video? Names please?

Speed of light? Why so fast?
Are you a bomb/explosives expert? Where is your scientific data to
back up this claim? Why can't the fireball rise at let's say...half the
speed of light to be effective?
Please see this thread. Using original copies of the photos leaked by the AP in 2002, I conducted a rigorous and completely documented and replicable image analysis of the frames that do indeed indicate an aircraft. If you'd like to argue those images that thread and others are better suited than this one.

Too "badder" the security video doesn't show an aircraft or support the
FDR.
Thanks for playing. YOu should research more before posting.

No, sir. I do not believe you understood what I was saying in that statement. Allow me to clarify.
It means that CIT's interrogation of the witnesses was misleading and incomplete; to the point of annoyance if you have a trained eye.
It means that P4T used "facts" to derive suspect flight paths are wholly uncorroborated. They demonstrated a profound misunderstanding of the maths involved when they correctly utilized calculations on incorrectly aggregated make-believe data. There is a distinct and important difference between knowing how to apply an equation and understanding what it means.
It means that the various involved government agencies refuse all requests at clarification of inconsistent information.
There is not one single party that has presented a scenario that stands up to scrutiny.
That, sir, is my point.

You may very well be correct.
Rejection of the P4T/CIT version of events does not mean an embracing of the NIST report or the 9/11 Commission report.
An alternative explanation that has more holes than the original explanation is less than meaningless... its distracting, it's a waste of resources, and it could potentially ruin valuable witness testimony with shoddy and amateur interrogation techniques.
The road down which P4T/CIT have giddily taken their research (it's a far cry from something I'd qualify as an "investigation") is based upon well constructed nothingness.
Someday P4T/CIT apologists will come to realize this.
