Ah so here we go,
Thanks for that post
At 00:58 in your video you state -
" All of the Witnesses"
With out stating which ones... Very missleading,
You finally admint that only a "few dozen" statments were released.
But that you chose to concentrate on the ones that saw the plane.
Again that is missleading as you did not talk to the people on the highway, the cab dirver that had the lightpole go through his cab. Where are they?
The we have Sgt Lagasse who at 02:50 says - "Best guess estimate that's about where the fuselage was"
Then a few seconds later he says laughing with the interviewer, after a disolve - " You can't say 100%, because... there's no way it was anywhere other than where I said it was"
Then the interviewer asks him to reverse the statement.
Why the disolve? why not show the whole interview? or was there something else said behind it? why the sudden change of attitude?
I mean first he says Best Guess Estimate now it is 100%?
That is a big change to account for.
So now we have one witness that show obvious suggestive reacall (that is where someone reinforces their recall with suggestions)
He went from a guess to 100% certain.
Enter CIT (independent confirmation).
Of the few dozen transcripts released, only a small handful even claim they witnessed the plane as most were simply part of the recovery efforts or involved with the event in some other way.
We focused on the alleged plane witnesses and paid special attention to those who may have had a vantage point allowing them to distinguish if the plane was north or south of the former CITGO gas station. Of course the interviews were conducted on a human interest rather than investigative level so finding specific details regarding the flight path proved difficult. We were however able to ascertain certain clues in this regard and many pointed to the notion that some witnesses did indeed further corroborate the unanimous north side claim from the witnesses at the gas station.
We quickly determined that the most important of these CMH accounts were from individuals who were at Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) located directly north of the gas station right where the witnesses we already spoke with all placed the plane.

remember acording to the video and your own posts the eye-witnesses verify the flight path because they match.
Some of the starting points varry by as much as a 1/4 mile.
So what happend to your witnesses all verifying each other?
They do not have heading, direction or even flight path the same.
So would you agree that due to distance, viewing angle , memory recal, line of sight, and other mitigating factors you cannot prove the flight path you claim?
Does that mean you know the exact distances involved? Or that the witnesses do?
Your plot is estimations of the path the plane took based on unconfirmed visual sightings from people that may or may not have visual impairment.

So in your own statement you spoke with witnesses that already placed the plane where you claim it was.
You also state quite plainly in the sections I underlined that you only had a few dozen and that only a handfull of them saw a plane

Why did you not interview the first responders? They would be able to prove or disprove the debirs.

It is on topic to discuss that evidence and to show that it is not accurate or indeed evidence at all.
SPreston claimed a smoke trail, where are his witnesses?
This is very factual and deserves much attention. You did a good job on presenting your case. While watching, I put myself in a court room and listened as if this were a court case and your argument was very compelling.

No witnesss claimed to see a smoketrail so there would be no reason to "fake" one in the video.
Now be a good boy and stop trolling.

You said "So why have some professional organisations shown animated videos of the alleged crash with smoke trailing from the wing/engine?
Obviously there are 'fake' smoke trails in some videos that need to be explained."
Maybe the professional organizations show the smoke trails in the animations because that was what was seen in the video. If no witnesses saw it, why would it have to be faked in a post facto video, anyway.
