I'll say this (now I've had a chance to consider some of the points raised over the last however long) - I don't think they're setting out to deliberately mis-lead, lie, etc.. but I think the way they've presented their "facts" needs clarifying A LOT. As has already been raised - if it is as it first appears - it is frankly very serious stuff. However, if it is not as it first appears, then appropriate notices about what it is they're actually showing needs to be made, so it isn't open to interpretation, and so they're not open to allegations of misrepresentation (it works both ways). If their case is solid - they have nothing to lose, right?
I look forward to hearing what you and Nick have to say on your FOIA requests and conversations with the NTSB. Should be interesting to say the least.

I have never “attacked” the Pilots for the government’s data being flawed. The only “attack” I have made is in wondering aloud if maybe this was NOT an NTSB animation but rather a forgery, since it was so odd and not well documented.
But why are you attacking P4T because the government’s data is corrupt? Shouldn’t you be taking the issue up with the government instead?

Because they dont think the information came from the NTSB. Although we have provided the chain of custody, the envelope, the cover letters, the FOIA Contact name of Melba D. Moye, the NTSB Phone number of 202-314-6000, Geo Wash University who has the same information, JREF with the same information, 911Myths with the same information, but they still think we are lying about the data being from the NTSB.. (ooops.. im sorry.. that we havent "provided enough proof") rolleyes...
We have stated time and time again on radio interviews (which are available for download for those who are thorough researchers), TV interviews, many forums including this one.. that the NTSB data is not proof of anything real. We have stated time and time again that the data provided by the NTSB doesnt not support the govt story.. period.
Our primary concerns are altitude, vertical speed, system indications, airspeed, bank angles et al as noted in the questions to the US Govt found on our pentagon page, which do not support the govt story. Why do some many so called 'debunkers' (who also seem to claim they are truth seekers) focus on a flight path we already know shows 070 degrees?
We have not once said the NTSB data is "Faked". We have not once stated the NTSB data is "real". We said it is data provided by the NTSB claimed to be from AA77 and does not match the govt story... period. We now know through 'spcengineer' that some parameters show signs of being "ALTERED". This does not mean the data as a whole is fake or real.
The only way to know 100% what happened at the pentagon is to be riding in the jumpseat on that Sept morning.
I dont think ANY of us will find out what exactly happened at the pentagon. But the fact remains we have a great starting spot to open up a can-o-worms since the govt provided us with data that does not support their story.
I can careless if you think the data came from the NTSB or not.. we know it did. We are recording the FBI and NTSB based on it.
Misread. NO ATTACK FOR QUESTIONING! read that sentence carefully... Twisted logic
Some self-proclaimed "truther's" seem to want to attack us for questioning the govt regarding this data because they do not have enough proof from P4T that the data is authentic.
I wasn't unable, I just didn't. So I'm doing it now and i look lazy and I'll look like a real idiot when I come up with what you guys did. So relax.
How absurd is that? Nor were they able to do their own leg work to get their own data to verify ours prior to their accusations.
For those concerned who the real truth seekers are.. ask yourself..
There you will have your answer of who is really seeking the truth.

Again, some silly people have thought you were trying to show a mag heading of 90 in your video. But while that is what's shown, and you mention it being far to the left in your video, it's really just an insignificant glitch you barely even noticed, tho it's striking to some non-expert eyes, and almost gives a false impression, and did coincdentally prep people for the CIT witnesses.

Hey CL,
Just curious. Could you explain the above quote.
-As based off the video clip you yourself posted to start this thread - the compass's animated readout never swings through 90*?
Are you asserting that a coach-class citizen "sees" 90mag on the NTSB video?
Or do you mean that if they were to ignore the animated compass readout entirely and only focus on the 3D animated plane approach - that its trajectory North of the CITGO gives them an impression which is off course from the offical story?

Therefore IMO the resolution of this contradiction is their burden. Not ours, I hope you could agree?

Thumbs up to CL and Nick for ignoring Rob's childish name calling and "not so subtle" indirect threats of legal action. Seems to me that he doth protest too much. Why does he try so hard, with insults and threats, to silence anyone who dares question his story while he and his gang freely question the govts story regarding what happend at the Pentagon and to AA77?
I'm sure that now Rob, or one of his cohorts will add me to their "official" list of ATS posters who are teenagers, or poor researchers, or confused, misinofrmed, time wasting, and inexperienced in such complicated matters.

CL,
Thanx.
When I am presented with physical evidence such as downed light poles on the 70 magnetic heading, it represents to me the official government story. Rightly or wrongly, I place the ownership of this scenario on them.

And I do appreciate the contribution you have made in bringing this point to light.

The animation shows on the dial face of the instrument a magnetic heading of 70 degrees. This matches the official story. However, what one sees on the screen is the plane approaching the Pentagon at what would translate to a magnetic heading of about 90 degrees.
Here is where the story gets muddled, and where you need to be precise in your description. The source of what is known as the "NTSB animation" has only been claimed to be the NTSB by Pilot's for 9/11 Truth. As far as I can tell, not another independent researcher has ever claimed that they've received the same video animation from the NTSB, let alone authenticated such a claim.
And it just so happens that coincidentally, P49T's brother organization, CIT, produced a movie with eye-witnesses describing a flight path that just so happens to match the NTSB data, which, by the way, P49T says has been doctored anyway.
In any event, there has never been ANY independently verified corroboration that the NTSB sent out an animation that contradicts the official story.
...the burden is first on the people who claim the data came from the NTSB to authenticate that the data was actually sent by the NTSB. This has never been done. For some reason, Rob Balsamo seems to think if he insults people enough and threatens to file lawsuits, it's somehow going to prove that their animation came from the NTSB.
Maybe it did, or maybe it didn't. Until the "NTSB" data is verified, then it's not really accurate or fair to make conclusions that the government sent out data that contradicted the official story. The burden is P49T's to authenticate their claims of where the data originated.
If the source have the contradictorary animation can be proven to have originated with the government, then the burden will fall on the government to explain why their own NTSB data doesn't match the official story.

Will the flight data computer reset the altimeters at 18,000 feet when the autopilot is engaged?
I have been investgoogling(I stole that) and checking the pilots for truth web site to see if I could come up with any answers. As you have pointed out, I do not know how to read the CSV file.
The autopilot may not have even been engaged at 18,000 feet.
I would appreciate any answer or even if you wanted to, point me in the right direction for information that might help me out.

Don't forget "Slob" at the other board. True we haven't seen a scan of the letter yet, but it says a DVD with the animation, it's been posted and it matches. NTSB, FOOIA, non-P49T. Until that's shown otherwise I'm taking it as it is.
In any event, there has never been ANY independently verified corroboration that the NTSB sent out an animation that contradicts the official story.
Again, not true unless you debunked SLOB's story too.
They say they have. The evidence is there. If you want to keep arguing it's falsified or misleading, let's look at specifics some more. Suggestion...
