I was inside....it flew over the top of me....I then immediately ran to the outside. I had no side view. If I would have seen a side view I could have told the people it was an American Airlines jet. Because I would have seen the stripes. Didn't see the stripes I saw the silver belly.

No matter how much you plug your ears and refuse to listen to what Morin says with his own mouth it does not make his words go away.
This is why you are refusing to answer my questions because they expose your denial.
Morin was very specific that he was BETWEEN the wings.

Craig...did Morin state the following?
"Approximately 10 steps out from between Wings 4 and 5, I was making a gentle right turn towards the security check-in building just above Wing 4 when I became aware of something unusual.”

Yep.
Which is why first-hand confirmation of witness accounts is so important.
In person Morin clarified that he was actually in between the wings when the plane flew directly "over the top" of him and that he THEN "immediately ran to the outside". He also elaborated that this is the reason why he misidentified the craft as a 737 and why he was unable to report to the authorities that it was supposed to be an AA jet. Because he didn't see the stripes.
Do you agree that this is what Morin confirmed?

I agree that's what he said...but this is not a "confirmation" this is a "contradiction" of his earlier statements.
Did you show an overhead map of the area and have him plot his location, along with the flight path of the plane he reported?

Wrong. It is a contradiction of your interpretation of his earlier statements.
Originally posted by Craig Ranke CITThe fact that he was MUCH more detailed in the recent account and follow up questions were asked to clarify these specific details, and the fact that he went so far as to cite his location in between the wings as the reason he misidentified the craft, as well as specifically the reason why he was NOT able to tell the authorities it was supposed to be an AA jet, makes it very clear that this was indeed confirmation of his true location and POV on 9/11.

Since he confirmed his limited POV from in between the wings and he confirmed the plane flew directly over him nothing else mattered as this proves the plane did not hit regardless of his belief in heading that he could not accurately judge from between the wings.
Originally posted by Craig Ranke CITHe did verbally confirm his belief in a "parallel" heading but since that had been proven false by the ANC witnesses who actually saw the approach and were therefore in an INFINITELY better place to judge heading, further documenting Morin's proven false deduction of heading was not important.

ANYWHERE directly ONA is irreconcilable with all official data, reports, and the physical damage.

Corroboration is a scientific process used to validate eyewitness claims.
Yes.
That is a fact.
Morin's stated POV gave him no view of the approach so therefore he is not a witness to the flight path AT ALL.
EVEN IF he was correct about heading and placement of the plane this is STILL fatal to the official story and proves the plane did not hit the Pentagon.
But using the scientific method of corroboration we were able to determine that he was correct regarding his general placement of the plane ONA yet incorrect regarding the much more difficult to tell detail of heading.
Witnesses are quite fallible. They often embellish and deduce details which is why first-hand confirmation is so important and why we only rely on them for GENERAL details that can be corroborated such as ONA and NoC.
There is room for error in all of their accounts but not enough room for error to place the plane south of Columbia Pike or the citgo.
Lagasse and Morin make this perfectly clear.
Originally posted by Craig Ranke CITOf course since none of the ANC witnesses nor Morin could see the alleged impact point this is the obvious reason why their actual witness account of the plane flying right by them holds more weight than their deduction of an impact much further away.

So because your eyewitness says "I could be wrong, but not THAT wrong" then you automatically assume that they are correct in their determination.
This is where we disagree. Just because an eyewitness thinks that their level of accuracy is X, doesn't mean that it is.
Distance is not the only variable to be considered. Simply being closer to the event with a better view is not going to guarantee a more accurate report....especially when we're dealing with an aircraft that was traveling at 200-500 mph at distances much closer than these people were accustomed to seeing.
While a direct report of an event is preferred to a deduction, some objective method has to be established to determine the accuracy of either claim.

Absolutely not.

Right.
That's why we place more value on the details that they actually witnessed that are corroborated rather than ones that were deduced.

Correct.
That would be the scientific method of corroboration.
Let me know when this starts to sink in for you.

When Turcios, for example, says he saw the plane hit the pentagon, that is not a deduction, yet you treat it as such.
The fact that the eyewitnesses agree is not scientific proof that they are correct any more than people at a magic show all saying that they saw a tiger disappear is proof that it disappeared. There are other variables that must be taken into consideration.

Turcios does not say this.
In fact he says the opposite.
He specifically says that he did NOT see the plane hit the Pentagon.

You act like CIT has provided the only evidence that contradicts the official story.
Sorry but that is not the case.
There are MANY irreconcilable contradictions on MANY levels INCLUDING the fact that the official flight path has been demonstrated physically impossible due to the topography an obstacles for a 757 at the NTSB reported speed of 784 feet per second.

This means that logically an alternative scenario occured and obviously the independent verifiable evidence proves that the plane flew ONA and NoC and therefore did not hit the building.

Really? Where does he say he saw it go?
Yes, yes...I've seen those calculations which PFT admits are "in error" and to date have still not been amended.
Or it means that you and PFT didn't get the math right.....which has already been admitted.

Stop playing word games.
You incorrectly claimed that he said he saw the plane impact the Pentagon when he specifically said that he did NOT see the plane impact the Pentagon.
So yes that would be fairly considered the "opposite".

Wrong.
You clearly have not seen the calculations or paid any attention at all to the information you are furiously attempting to rebut.
The linked thread is specifically about the corrected calculations.

Yes the initial error was immediately admitted and fully corrected complete with all math and calculations presented.
Seriously, you might try clicking the links and staying up on the info if you wish to discuss it on an educated level.

You are the one playing word games. Turcios says the plane hit the pentagon...he was able to see it up until the point where the impact caused the plane to burst into flames...then all he could see was the fireball and smoke.
The "corrected" calculations, are still wrong because they are based on a straight line descent with a sudden and abrupt pull up. (See image below)

A more plausible scenario would be a gradual reduction in the descent rate, which would require much less g-force.

I am not playing word games, I am correcting your 100% false claim that Turcios said he "saw" the plane impact the building.

Excuse me?
Once again you are 100% wrong.
That is NOT what the calculations are based on.
The calculations are based on a reasonable radius.

PFT has made so many bogus calculations it's tough to keep them straight and I'm not about to sit through another 30 minute video of nonsense to see their latest BS. If they really believed what they claim to believe they'd spend their time filing lawsuits and talking to the media instead of on the internet arguing with people that they put on their "Enemies list".
As for you, I'm curious why you haven't taken you earth-shattering evidence to a prosecutor or grand jury somewhere.....for someone who claims to have "proof of a deception" on 9/11 you sure don't seem too motivated to do anything about it.

Just as I thought.
You are not intellectually honest enough admit the 100% FACT that your claim that Turcios said he "saw" the plane impact the building is false.

Your emotional rant only serves to expose your personal bias.
P4T put out one article with a MINOR error and they instantly admitted it and followed up with a correction that you admitted you were completely unaware of even as you desperately tried to argue against their claims.
