Yes, I have seen them all with the exception of the most recent PFT videos.
Hm. How can you not find all those north of citgo gas station witnesses persuasive?
Persuasive about what, that they saw the plane hit the Pentagon as many of them claimed they did?
Originally posted by discombobulator
Regardless of that, the question that I answered was related specifically to Lloyde's taxi and whether or not it was impacted by a light pole. In the complete absence of a credible alternative sequence of events, the evidence at hand seems to support Lloyde's testimony.

Other than what you perceive as contradictions with the "official story", do you have any credible evidence that supports an alternative sequence of events where Lloyde England's testimony is an elaborate ruse?

Or how about PFT's discussion on how it would have been impossible to pull out of the dive the plane would have had to have made in order to show up low and level as seen by the 5 frame video?
What about the discussion? Exactly what makes PFT an authority on anything, especially now that they've been caught misrepresenting the FDR data (by one of their own members) actively debunking them?

Is your understanding of the components of discussion sufficient enough that you'd be able to detect if they were pulling your leg?

Speaking of the video, I believe I recall the blob in it going backwards sometime after the 5 frames.

Lloyd's 'virtual confession' is another point that irks me. I can't find where he confesses to anything other than his cab being hit by a pole or part of a pole.
Shirley Hughes (Lloyd’s wife): The FBI thought that he had been killed, but I told him he was alive, so that's when they came here and talked to him.
Craig Ranke: And when was that?
Shirley Hughes: The next day.
Craig Ranke: The very next day? I think that's weird too, why did they think he was dead if there was no body?
Shirley Hughes: They say somebody towed him away.
CIT 2 (Aldo Marquis?): A lot of stories, a lot of stories.
Craig Ranke: They just took away the body huh?
Shirley Hughes: Yeah, and left the car
Lloyd: You know,
(laughter)
Lloyd: if I wasn't involved, and I had to go by the evidence that was shown me. And And I felt that this bridge was where it happened, I'd be confused too.
Shirley Hughes: You take a tour through the pentagon, and they tell you, they bring it up, "yes, that was the cab driver that was injured".
CIT 2: Injured, were you injured?
Shirley Hughes: No.
CIT 2: There you go.
Lloyd: That's the story.
Craig Ranke: That's why I asked you that.
Lloyd: One thing about it you gotta understand something. When people do things and get away with it, you- eventually it's going to come to me. And when it comes to me, it's going to be so big I can't do nothing about it. So it has to be stopped in the beginning when it's small.
CIT 2: Mmhm.
Lloyd: You see to keep it from spreading.
CIT 2: Oh absolutely, yeah, to keep it from getting this far to where we're talking..
Craig Ranke: Yeah, but if there was a lie, we need to expose it.
Lloyd: That's right.
Craig Ranke: And that's.. and we, if they did a lie to do what they're doing now, the problem is 9/11 isn't over and done with, 9/11 is permanent global war, permanent death for people every day right now, dying. Innocent people, innocent children...
CIT 2: 9/11 was an event was that a lot of people recognize as this big, 'now we have a war on terror', now we have, you know, but 9/11 started this.. it's not the end of it.
Craig Ranke: Well we found out that that it didn't hit the Pentagon and just kept on going.
Shirley Hughes: Yeah.
Craig Ranke: Yeah what?
Shirley Hughes: Yeah.
Craig Ranke: Yeah what?
Shirley Hughes: What you said!
Craig Ranke: What did I say?
Shirley Hughes: I better go fix dinner so he can... if you're gonna...
Craig Ranke: You know something. Your wife, she's smart, she knows something! So let's... go!
Lloyd: Ok
[They then go off to check out Lloyd's cab]
Lloyd: No I wasn't supposed to be involved in this. This is too big for me man this is a big thing. Man you know this is a world thing happening, I'm a small man. My lifestyle is completely different from this. I'm not supposed to be involved in this. This is for other people. People who have money and all this kind of stuff.
CIT: But you said. Lloyd, what do you mean?
Lloyd: Well I'm not supposed to be involved in this, I don't have nothing.
CIT: So your point that these people that have all the money..
Lloyd: This is their thing.
CIT: This is their thang.
LLoyd: This is for them.
CIT: Meaning they're doing it for their own reasons.
Lloyd: That's right. I'm not supposed to be in it.
CIT: But they used you, right?
Lloyd: I'm in it.
CIT: You're in it.
Lloyd: Yeah, we came across, across the highway together.
CIT: You and their event.
Lloyd: That's right.
CIT: But they must have planned that.
Lloyd: It was planned.
CIT: They meant for you to be there didn't they?
Lloyd: No. They didn't mean for me to be there.
Lloyd: You know what history is? Just what I said you gotta understand what you are saying. History is his story.
CIT: Absolutely.
Lloyd: It's not the truth, it's his story! It has nothing to do with the truth, it's his story!
For most of the 'interview' he's just playing along as he knows the CIT people and what they're about

I felt that CIT made it clear that they could have easily been fooled into -thinking- that the plane actually hit the building, without it actually being the case.
Most importantly, the North of the Citgo flight path precludes the possibility that the plane could have hit the buliding.
The issue is that many people, including myself, believe that CIT and PFT's work is quite credible.
I have found CIT and PFT's work to offer very good evidence that Lloyd's testimony concerning the light pole was false.
Can you point out where this occurred? As you may know, I was banned from PFT up until today, so I haven't exactly been keeping track of things over there.
Why do you think no mention was made of this allegedly incorrect time stamp? Surely you realize that the September 12 time stamp casts doubt on the authenticty of the recorded event?
All someone had to do was make a hole through the windshield; for all I know, a bullet could have done it, but if not, simply a somewhat larger object would have been needed.

CIT never goes back and corrects their work.
There are several misrepresentations of Joel Sucherman's testimony in addition to an egregious error made whilst demonstrating where the incoming airliner crossed Route 27, all of which Craig has since admitted to but simply couldn't care about.

I'm not up on whether or not he has made the mistakes that you mention.
However, regardless of whether he did or didn't make those mistakes, I sincerely doubt that it changes the most important facts, namely that the vast majority of the witnesses on record who were in a good position to tell place the plane on the North of Citgo flight path.

Given your statement, I feel that it's pretty clear that CIT can easily fool you into believing whatever they want you to believe.

It is wishful thinking to just believe that everyone ducked, or looked away at the moment of impact.
Originally posted by discombobulator
Furthermore you are in denial of the many witnesses who observed the plane from a distance and did not report it continuing on past the Pentagon.

You keep dodging the question. I ask you again, what evidence do you believe exists that supports an alternative sequence of events.
Originally posted by discombobulator
We can argue all day about how you think Lloyde said this proves that, but I'm not interested in that.
Originally posted by discombobulator
I want you to show me a single piece of evidence that supports an alternative sequence of events that puts Lloyde's smashed cab and a broken lightpole in the middle of the road.
How did that happen?

There are two active threads in this forum concerning the FDR data and PFT's ridiculous assertion regarding the cockpit door.

Having had experience working with security cameras and closed circuit television I have seen numerous instances where the date and time have been set incorrectly. This is hardly earth shattering.

Sean Boger stated that he stood and watched the plane fully enter the Pentagon and then explode before dropping to the ground. He describes hear[ing] the metal scraping it's way through the building.
How do you reconcile that without throwing one of your own witnesses under the bus or crapping on about some mind control program garbage?
Originally posted by Pilgrum
For the G-calcs, I did my own rough version which produced results near an order of magnitude less than what was being suggested and in line with Ryan Mackie's (the real RM) figures.
The new evidence I refer to is being extensively discussed in the 'new FDR decode' thread and is centred on the previously unknown additional 4 seconds of data recorded by the FDR which was extracted by open source software written by Warren Stutt.

As for Lloyd being presumed a fatality, well one look at that cab and I'd initially think the same thing. It's actually a miracle he wasn't hurt (well physically at least as I believe he'd be in considerable shock after it).
Originally posted by Pilgrum
He (Lloyd) seems to have retained his sense of humor and I sensed some subtle application of it during that 'interview'.

'When it gets back to me it's gonna be big'

He injected a red herring with the location of the cab as well.
Originally posted by scott3x
I'm glad that you qualified your statement with seems, because from what I have heard from both CIT and PFT, the fireball would have made it nearly if not impossible to see the plane continue initially. After that, all eyes that saw the explosion would probably be remain glued to it.
Sean Boger isn't one of the witnesses that I've studied in depth.
