I had a closer look at the last, Italian NTSB simulation.
I took that one, since it gave me the impression that it was as near to the official NTSB released data interpretation as possible.
At the end of the video you can read that the data were taken from the Moussasoui law suit proceedings.
So we may assume that these are the officially endorsed data sets from the flight 93 black box and radar returns data, given to the NTSB.
Let's look at the first lines on the screen at the beginning of that video.
It gives the overall height of the terrain towards the crash site at the beginning of this NTSB simulation as an average of 700 meters / 0.3048 = 2296
feet above sea level, let's round it off to 2300 feet.
Of course this is an approximation, so I decided to find the time of impact in the video, and read the altimeter.
The height above sea level at impact was 2182 feet (665 m), which is 0 feet (0 m) above the local ground level.
Time of impact was 10:03:07 and then all readings stayed the same for a few repeated clicks of my mouse on the forward animation/pause arrow, thus we
may assume the readings of all the meters indicate the values at impact.
Because then the animation stopped and only text on a black background was shown after that in the video.
Knots Versus Miles per Hour:
www.grc.nasa.gov...
Knots is how the speed of aircraft and boats is measured.
Both miles per hour and knots is a speed which is the number of units of distance that is covered for a certain amount of time.
1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hour = 6076 feet per hour
1 mph =1 mile per hour = 5280 feet per hour
Thus,
1 knot = 1 x (6076ft / 3600s in 1hr) = 1.687 feet per second
1 mph = 1 x (5280ft / 3600s in 1hr) = 1.466 feet per second
Readings on-screen at impact:
CAM: sound of loud air noise stops.
EDT = 10:03:07 (parts of seconds not available; 5:53 of 6:53 on video time-bar)
Air-Speed = 488 (knots)
Height above sea level = 2182 feet (665 m)
Plane is clearly still flying upside-down. Which synchronizes well with some of the eyewitness statements I linked to in my last post above.
We determined the distance from Viola's house to the crash site to be 1.72 miles.
Some speed and height values on the meter in the last 12 seconds before impact.
Speed is in knots, height is in feet above sea level, so we must subtract the average height of the terrain in the last 15 seconds, which is minimum
665 meters or minimum 2182 feet.
We start with the values read on-screen at 12 seconds before impact, I added the ft/ground values by subtracting 2182 feet from the ft/sea on-screen
values :
10:02:55.....394 knots.....6210 ft/sea = 4028 ft/gr = 1227 m/ground
10:02:56.....396 knots.....6066 ft/sea = 3766 ft/gr = 1148 m/ground
10:02:57.....399 knots.....5950 ft/sea
10:02:58.....423 knots.....5760 ft/sea
10:02:59.....426 knots.....5556 ft/sea
10:03:00.....413 knots.....5341 ft/sea = 3159 ft/gr = 963 m/ground,
NTSB shows plane flipped upside-down for the first time at nearly 1 km high, 5 sec later than Viola has seen that plane flying very low over her house
between 10:02:55 and :56.
10:03:01.....419 knots.....5123 ft/sea
10:03:02.....424 knots.....4818 ft/sea
10:03:03.....432 knots.....4430 ft/sea
10:03:04.....438 knots.....4019 ft/sea
10:03:05.....446 knots.....3642 ft/sea
10:03:06.....458 knots.....3148 ft/sea
10:03:07.....488 knots.....2182 ft/sea = 0 ft/gr = 0 m/ground, it hit the ground.
So lets take an average air speed in the last 3 seconds of 460 knots, since only the last 2 seconds indicate a sharp nose dive into the ground.
Military conversion calculators :
www.militaryfactory.com...
Knots to miles/hr :
www.militaryfactory.com...
Thus, 460 knots = 529.359 miles per hour.
460 knots = 460 x (6076ft / 3600s in 1hr) = 460 x 1.687 ft/s =
776 feet/second (x 0.3048 ft/m = 236.5 meters/second)
Important question:
How many seconds go by, when 1.72 miles are covered with an average speed of 460 knots?
And if we count these seconds back in the NTSB video, from the 10:03:07 time of impact, what altitude does the meter at that point in time from the
simulation indicate?
Because that will be the altitude according to the flight 93 black box data delivered to the Moussasoui trial by the NTSB, which should indicate the
height of the plane seen by Viola from her back door, looking up, if we believe the NTSB data sets.
(1.72 miles x 5280 ft/mile =) 9082 feet in X seconds at an average speed of 460 knots which is a speed of 776 ft/s from Viola's house to the flight
93 crash site.
X = 9082 ft / 776 ft/s =
11.70 seconds.
For the metric inclined :
1.72 mile = 2.768 km (x 1.609)
2.768 km is 2768 m,
460 knots is 236.5 m/s,
2768 m divided by 236.5 m/s is still
11.70 seconds.
That's probably much longer than most of you thought.
At 12 seconds before impact, the NTSB placed the plane at circa 4028 feet above the ground.
For the metric scale users, that's 1227 meter above ground, that's 1-1/4 kilometer high, above where Viola was standing.
But Viola says the plane she saw was already UPSIDE-DOWN flying, and NEARLY SKIMMED her backyard Oak tree top, its leafs moving from the wake of the
plane.
That's no more than 100 feet or 30 meter high, she said.
So, who's mistaken here, the NTSB or Viola?
Domenick, or any other person, please go out and interview her sister too, her neighborhood villagers at that time too, find as much corroborating
evidence as you can, that the plane Viola saw on 9/11 was really flying as low as she reported at her house, and ALREADY upside-down, while the NTSB
data show us the first moment of flying upside-down
five seconds later than the moment the plane passed Viola's house.
If you can collect many more eyewitnesses around the Lambertsville junction, then we have to seriously doubt the NTSB data, and thus the black box
data they were given, and thus we may suppose very foul play by some part of the government or the military, when presenting this data after 9/11.
And could you contact Susan McElwain again, and ask her one important question:
Did she remember the time when she saw that little white drone passing low in front of her van, and why did she say that only later in the week did
she remember an explosion sound or cloud.
I have the impression that she is not really sure if that drone passed her before, or after the factual crash of flight 93.
She said in the second interview, where she wears the blue vest instead of the red one she wore in the first interview (by you and crew), that she
countered the FBI man asking her questions in the evening of 9/11 at her house, after she reported the existence of that drone at the 93 scene, and he
explained the drone away by telling her it was sent to take pictures afterwards :
"Why then, would that drone take pictures, BEFORE the actual crash?"
So she must have had a strong notion already on the day of 9/11, that the drone passed her before the plane crashed. HOW did she know of that, and be
so sure of it in that evening's FBI interrogation?
She tells us she heard the crash reporting on her car radio, but I may expect that the radio reporting started at least a few minutes later than 93
crash time.
That means that the explanation is quite simple, she heard the media report the crash, LATER, than she saw the drone.
If however she saw the drone AFTER the radio already talked about a plane crash at Shanksville, then the drone could have been launched by that C-130
cruising around the scene, the same C-130 cruising around the Pentagon scene half an hour earlier.
What a fabulous coincidence, by the way, USAF personnel being witness to two 9/11 events.
By the way, who says it's impossible that that same plane wasn't at the New York events? Flight plans are easily falsified by all authorities
involved, as we slowly start to see, when we compare CIT's thirteen, North of Citgo gas station, flight 77 flight-path witness reports; to the thus
clearly fabricated NTSB, RADES and other official data sets, where the planes are reported according to the released data sets as being in very
different positions.
And to repeat it again, in that case it would have been impossible that the 5 downed light poles were hit by flight 77.
