Actually it's a very small percentage of people who believe in CTs about 911. I, personally, don't know a single one. But Conspiracy Theorists are very loud on the web, like some other groups - UFO hunters, etc.

First, let me suggest you fix your quote tags as your reply may confuse the readers who arent familair with forum tags."
"Next, if i can be so bold...
I could not care less if your questions are answered here among the few. Our hits have never been higher and those who are asking such questions sans further research already have their opinion established. Its a moot point and a waste of time to address them here and now. But i assure you, those asking, will continue to look like a fool to those who have actually seen our work... now, or when its streaming on our front page as is PBB2."
"So, continue to think what you will from behind your screen. We'll continue to put our name, faces and professional reputations on our work as we close the walls in on people like you and "SlightlyAbovePar". Meanwhile, the masses are getting answers from real professionals and experts with verifyable credentials..."
"I know this doesnt help you much.. but.. i really dont care..."
"PS, i'll add this caveat (as i have offered this to other "pseudo-skeptics). If SlightlyAbovePar emails us his address, we will send him a free DVD. On one condition, that he copies our DVD and ships it to anyone who asks on his dime... deal? Would you order one if it were free pccat?"
First of all they can't pinpoint us to an inch with the cell phones - it's technically impossible. And air traffic system only as accurate as it needs to be to provide safety under NORMAL conditions when both pilots and controllers are cooperating. And there was nothing normal about 911. At that time system already exclusively relied on the transponder returns. And if you turn your transponder off, you are off the system. Military radars do monitor coastal airspace, but mainly long range and their data also don't need to be accurate to an inch. They, BTW, were used during the investigation of 747 TWA flight 800 crash off Long Island, NY in 1996 or so. And you'll see they sweep the area only once every few seconds. That's why it was difficult to determine exact flight path after the explosion. There was a conspiracy theory abut that crash too, but it didn't live long.
Originally posted by GriffI would like to stay out of this thread as I really know little about aviation, but "they" can pin point us down to an inch just with our cell phones. Do you really believe radar, NORAD, FAA etc. are really that off? Would we be willing to step into a plane if so?

ok, I appreciate your honesty..
but your theory
... is going to involve further research into the established evidence..
but the conclusion I came to after viewing the AVAILABLE evidence is that a large plane hit the building..

Yes, it's quite enough. I suspected it was INS, as GPS couldn't be used as a primary method of navigation at that time. I also added question about altitude data. Can anyone know how altimeter data are obtained? If this is barometric? If so, did terrorists call ATC for settings? I guess we can exclude radar altitude data or radio altimeter, if the airplane had one.

I hope I've given you a thorough enough answer. If not, ask for clarification or additional information and I'll try to help.
And, of course, I can understand that flight path didn't have any significance, as it was absolutely clear to everyone from the beginning that it was AA flight that slammed into Pentagon.
[edit on 19-9-2008 by syeager9]
At least 130 witnesses reported to news services seeing large passenger jet approaching or crashing into Pentagon. Most positively identified it as American Airlines jet. Several, 8 of them being pilots, identified it as 757. And only 2 reported it as a small commuter plane or just a small plane. There are no reports of ANYTHING else.
Originally posted by johndoexBut the govt story requires American Airlines Flight 77 hitting the building. So far, the govt story, evidence they have provided through the FOIA, and independent witnesses filmed on location fails to prove such a case.

I recall when it was proven with serious calculations that Bumble Bees could not fly. It was proven to be impossible. Yet, despite this proof, they continued to go about their business flying around the yard.
Originally posted by Reheat
It's all based upon an impact time of unknown precision with all indications that it is not accurate.
I guess it's because it took so long for bumble bees to learn laws of aerodynamics to fly in accordance to them.
Originally posted by GriffActually it was proven in the year 2000 that bumble bees can actually fly mathematically/aerodynamically. Just a reminder to all. That's only 8 years ago.
This whole thread is based on NTSB/gov data. The basic idea is to prove that government lied to us. My opinion is that gov. gave us whatever they had at that time, because accuracy was irrelevant in this case. And making any theories based on them is at least irresponsible without knowing how accurate they are.
Originally posted by GriffJust a question, but if all indications point to available data not being accurate, why oh why are you defending it? Do you not think we deserve the truth?

Question is: Irrelevant to whom? Certainly not me. And my tax dollars went into finding the truth. Sadly the defenders admit the "truth" the government has given us is false, yet they still defend it?

Again we agree.
Again, as it was pointed out before, NTSB didn't do a complete investigation as it was clear from the beginning it wasn't an accident caused by any mechanical fault or flaw in air traffic control system (excluding domestic airplane hijacking cases). So they just gave us the information they had. Probably as required by law. Opponents of CTs just asking how reliable this information is to calculate the exact flight path and G forces. Unfortunately they didn't tell us if it's accurate to +/- 2 thousands of kangaroo paces or better.
