1.) Their literal take on my words ("I had just come up from the underpass") paints a not entirely accurate portrayal of my position. I was definitely a bit closer to the Pentagon then their characterization. Perhaps closer to the Dubil-Narayanan-Benedetto cluster.
Joel: I was on the road that runs that runs to the Pentagon, listening to the WTC coverage, before I heard this huge roar coming from the West. I looked up and saw and American Airlines passenger jet plane directly in front of me.
Los Angeles, CA: I haven't been to D.C. in a while, but I seem to remember that the highways around the Pentagon are very close to the building. Were you guys on the side where the plane came in? If so, how did the plane avoid crushing cars on the street? What kind of clearance are we talking about?
Vin Narayanan and Joel Sucherman: Vin: I was on the side where the plane came in. The highway is about 50 yards from the Pentagon. The overhanging exit sign that the jet hit on the way down was 15-20 feet above the ground. The jet came in low and fast, it's tail clipped the overhanging exit sign on the way in, before hitting the Pentagon wall. In a sick way, I can say that whatever skill the pilot had saved my life, because if he had miscalculated by even a few feet, he would have crashed into the middle of a busy rush hour and potentially have caused more damage.

Faulty logic does not refute scientifically validated evidence.

You take things out of context and ignore other elements of their testimony you don't like and call that "scientific"?
(oh, and let's not also forget that there have been times in history, particularly during traumatic times, when there has been misconceptions from multiple witnesses... even masses ~ meaning more than 13 witnesses)
Originally posted by Craig Ranke CIT Witness accounts are subjective and have A LOT of room for error due to perspective and many other factors.
please see 1.
It is what all of the witnesses unanimously report proving there was a deliberate deception initiated to convince people the plane hit the building.
please see 1.
There is no way that 13 people all hallucinated the plane on the north side of the station.
this conclusive evidence is based on witness accounts.. please see 1.
This doesn't diminish the conclusive evidence we provide proving the north side approach one bit.
please see 1.
Their unanimous placement of the plane proves they were deliberately deceived into believing the plane hit.
.. there is no north side evidence, only witness accounts. please see 1.
But this mistake is completely irrelevant to the north side evidence
Sgt Lagasse would even bet his life on it.
Yes there are more witnesses but most were not in a position to see the Pentagon at all!

This has not been done.
various "mumbo jumbo" snipped
Sorry pinch but your boss has been proven a fraud and your war mongering based on a lie.

Originally posted by Craig Ranke CITOh yeah?
"Misconceptions" from "masses" who all corroborate each other?
Prove it.
Originally posted by Craig Ranke CITI asked YOU to back up YOUR claim.
Now you are trying to set up a completely irrelevant straw man argument.
No I will not play.
Originally posted by Craig Ranke CITYour analogy is irrelevant because
1....There is nothing impossible about a plane flying on the north side of the station as this thread demonstrates.
2...The witnesses we present are completely INDEPENDENT and were not gathered together to wait and watch for a religious "miracle".
Are you suggesting the people who believed in the miracle all lied or all simultaneously hallucinated the same thing?
Is that is your explanation for the north side witnesses?
God I hate irrelevant analogies.
"Misconceptions" from "masses" who all corroborate each other? Prove it.

Again, physical evidence trumps eye witness accounts in my book, particularly when all the witness accounts were given to the same person interviewing the witnesses. Not as independent as you would want us to believe
