Unlike you hooper - "Because the government told me so" is not evidence for critical thinking individuals.

Neither is the stance that everything that comes from a government source is false. That eliminates a lot of basic information, in fact it really calls into question how it is that when I believe the government I am being an uncritical idiot, but when you quote the NTSB you are proving the case?
Evidence for my argument -
Data - NTSB, Boeing, Limits set by the manufacturer based on flight/wind tunnel testing
Precedent - EA990, China Airlines 747SP, TWA 727, 737, Modified DC-8

Again, what is that argument and how is it related to 9/11?
And exactly who are these "experts"

Uh, the question was
who are these experts AND HOW ARE THEY MORE QUALIFIED THAN THE NTSB?
Speaking of evasive, exactly how does your question relate to 9/11?
You want me to type them all out because you refuse to click links?
Haven't I held your hand enough in this thread?

Yeah. Try and use your own words. Shouldn't be too difficult. This is a forum wherein the idea is that you type what you think and then I type in what I think. Your constant reference to a website is just spam.
How is your question related to 9/11 and why are your experts opinions superior to the that of the NTSB?

Well, you have proven you can type and you have proven that you know how to insert links to your favorite website and you have proven that you cannot answer a direct question.
Since you have proven nothing else, for the time being, I, like the rest of the world will choose to believe the NTSB and not some self appointed experts on some conspiracy website.

The Vne for a 767 is 360 knots which is 414 mph..
The first plane was estimated to be traveling at 435 mph, the second at 560.
I have been looking through your FAA regulations website and by reading through the maths it seems planes in the US are certified for 150% over max vne,

in regards to your query tif, there are recorded instances of Spitfires and other aircraft during WWII hitting sonic speeds in a shallow 20-30 degree dive, well over their VMO and still coming back okay,

Propeller aircraft were, nevertheless, able to approach the speed of sound in a dive. This led to numerous crashes for a variety of reasons. These included the rapidly increasing forces on the various control surfaces, which led to the aircraft becoming difficult to control to the point where many suffered from powered flight into terrain when the pilot was unable to overcome the force on the control stick. The Mitsubishi Zero was infamous for this[citation needed] problem, and several attempts to fix it only made the problem worse. In the case of the Supermarine Spitfire, the wings suffered from low torsional stiffness, and when ailerons were moved the wing tended to flex such that they counteracted the control input, leading to a condition known as control reversal.
Vmo is not the same as Vne.

you mean the TuckUnder effect. There are several factors which cause this. The main is thatt as airflow separation takes place, the downwash behind the wing is decreased. Prior to this, the horizontal stabilizer is trimmed to keep the airplane level. With this decrease in downwash, the stabilizer AOA, in effect, is increased thus pushing the tail up hence the pitch down.
There are two other factors. One is that as the shock waves move rearward, so is the center of pressure, adding to the tuckunder. The second is that the aerodynamic center shifts rearward, adding to the Tuckunder effect. One interesting thing about the aerodynamic center shift is that in some aircraft, the aero center shift forward first (causing momentary pitch up) before eventually shifts rearward (pitch down). this was probably what CULBER was thinking about.
This does not stop subsonic aircraft becoming supersonic, just an effect which happens to all aircraft that can reach this speed, you trim and carry on, on apply back pressure to the stick, either way its doesnt support your silly argument

There are, however, several claims that the sound barrier was broken during World War II. Hans Guido Mutke claimed to have broken the sound barrier on April 9, 1945 in a Messerschmitt Me 262.

Similar claims for the Spitfire and other propeller aircraft are more suspect. It is now known that traditional airspeed gauges using a pitot tube give inaccurately high readings in the transonic regime, apparently due to shock waves interacting with the tube or the static source. This led to problems then known as "Mach jump".[10]
