Since I am ‘arguing from incredulity’ and using faulty logic, when will you be presenting your 'smoking gun' evidence elsewhere? You know, some place other than internet forums? Meaning, with your superior logic and your ability to overcome arguments from 'incredulity' you will have no problem convincing a DA to bring charges?

Craig Ranke CIT,
Fantastic presentasion on Pentagon, very good job, you guys nailed it.
Shanksville next.
D.Duck
According to the Citzen Investigation Team, the Government or whomever wanted to fool the world into thinking American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon, along a certain heading that took it through several light poles and low over the freeway just prior to impact.
To do this, They executed the following:
*They flew an aircraft over the Pentagon
*The aircraft traveled along a different heading entirely, on the opposite side of a visible landmark (viz. the Citgo station)
*The aircraft passed nowhere near the light poles in question
*The light poles were sabotaged anyway, in some completely different fashion than aircraft impact
*One light pole was staged to penetrate the windshield of a car, in traffic, again despite the actual aircraft not passing anywhere near overhead
*A large amount of explosives was detonated as the aircraft passed by
*The aircraft then flew away over the Pentagon, where it was allegedly sighted by at least one individual
*The explosion or whatever demolition carried out at the Pentagon left a hole far too small to have been caused by AA 77
*A readable flight data recorder (FDR) was planted (along with an insufficient amount of aircraft debris) that allegedly conflicts with both Their false story and the track of the actual aircraft
And, finally,
The aircraft in question was deliberately painted so as to not even resemble an American Airlines jetliner.

Appeal to authority AND argument from incredulity.

Is this seriously the flight path that you guys think the plane took?
That's a pretty extreme turn for a plane going that fast. Do you have any idea the angle of bank that would be required to make that turn?

It's an approximation. Here is another image which has the various flight paths that witnesses have drawn all put together.

This question is addressed at length in this presentation:
The North Flight Path: Aerodynamically Possible - Witness Compatible

If there is anything that is (beyond) extreme it's the notion that the plane could do this:

The approximation requires a high degree of bank not reported by the eyewitnesses, and depending on the speed, not possible for the aircraft to perform.
This presentation doesn't address the physics of the flight path in blue.
I agree...the 2 scenarios above are ridiculous at best...straw-men at worst. They both have a constant descent and an instant pull up. A more reasonable scenario would be a reduction in the descent rate over a period of time, which would result in a much lower maximum-g load on the aircraft.

Drum roll please.............in the Pentagon.

Incorrect.
The witnesses reported a significant bank AND a significantly low speed.

Yes it does.

Circular logic.
You LOVE logical fallacies!

59.6 degrees is more vertical than it is horizontal...none of the eyewitnesses reported a bank that extreme. Additionally, the more severe the bank, the greater the airspeed required to complete it.
No it doesn't. in the video the plane is shown flying north of the impact point. This image shows the plane south of the impact point and nearly parallel with the south wall of the pentagon.
The arc would still require less of a g-load than your fabled "pull up" maneuver. So claiming that this is impossible doesn't bode well for your flyover theory either.

What, exactly, about the eyewitnesses reporting the plane hitting the Pentagon is circular logic?

Since they ALL unanimously report the plane on the north side and they all actually witnessed this it proves their deduction of an impact incorrect.

Pay attention.
They ALL actually witnessed the plane on the north side.
Originally posted by Craig Ranke CITThat is evidence.
Originally posted by Craig Ranke CIT
Most could not even see the the alleged impact point so they COULD NOT witness an alleged impact and therefore only deduced it.
That is not evidence.
Originally posted by Craig Ranke CIT
The fact that you dismiss evidence in favor of deduction in order to cling to your fantasy faith in the officially conspiracy theory is very telling.
Originally posted by Craig Ranke CIT
It proves you are a conspiracy theorist without regard for true skepticism or critical thinking principles.

Untrue: Lloyd, Morin, and Paik never mentioned the citgo.
Yes....
So are the pieces of the plane found inside the Pentagon...
So are the statements of the eyewitnesses that you didn't bother to interview...
So is the fact that the black box was found inside the pentagon...
So is the DNA evidence that proves that the passengers & crew from the plane were in the Pentagon...
Everything they say is evidence...it's not just "not evidence" because it goes against your theory.
No...I dismiss a small minority of eyewitness claims in favor of the overwhelming evidence that contradicts them.
A true skeptic would wonder why ALL of the other available evidence contradicts these 10 claims of the plane being north of the Citgo station.

Read my statement because I didn't mention the citgo either
I said they all place it on the "north side".
Lloyde said it was north side of the bridge.
Morin and Paik said it was north side of Columbia Pike.
Therefore they all said it was on the north side approach.

If a black box was really found in the Pentagon there is zero evidence that it came from a plane that hit the building.

Once again affirming the consequent.
