Exponent,
If it appears I am short with you, it is because all your questions have been answered and you refuse to inform yourself and instead stumble through the information with conviction and arrogance yourself.
I don't refuse to inform myself, I've already read 20 pages of this thread since you requested that I do so, I've checked up on what I can and asked questions for what I don't understand. You've chastised me for this and accused me of being blind to information.
I'll certainly take into account the points you list, but it will take some time to go through everything. While I do that, can you come up with any good reason for the large gradient during a small window of altitudes in the plot I made, or did I plot that wrong too?
I have found that the FAA has birdstrike regulations up to about 3km, I'm wondering if Vd here is the maximum speed a 767 can survive a birdstrike. Perhaps other countries require birdstrike up to 6km? This would be consistent with the information I have found about typical bird altitudes.
You can't expect me to get up to speed on a 55 page thread, nearly an hour of video and frankly an entire field of research in one day. Cut me some slack.

If you subscribe to what she says and think it's compelling, then you are forced to one of two conclusions.
- the planes were reinforced for some reason
- there were no planes.

Thank you for confirming that you have nothing.
Evidence to support your argument:
Homemade charts, opinion, conjecture.
You further diminish any credibility you have left when readers click this link and find that it has been provided by the Illustrated Guide To Aerodynamics.

Boeing 767 A1NM Type Certificate Data Sheet
1985, February 19:
A B-747 SP, flown by a China Airlines Capt., suffered an engine failure while cruising at 41,000 ft. The Capt. left it on autopilot too long. The autopilot tried to maintain that altitude, which was ultimately impossible at that weight, with only 3 engines functioning. As it approached the stall, because the speed kept decelerating, the Capt. finally disconnected the auto pilot. He was not prepared, because he had failed to trim in rudder to compensate for the asymmetrical thrust condition; the autopilot was maintaining wings level by the use of aileron and spoilers only.
When he hit that disconnect switch, the plane rolled rapidly and entered a dive. Although the plane exceeded the speed of sound, tearing parts off and causing major structural damage, the Capt. was able to make a recovery at a few thousand feet over the Pacific Ocean, after he broke out of the clouds and could see his attitude via outside visual reference. There were, incredibly, only two serious injuries to the 274 passengers and crew.

Again, I would like to ask "Tiffany" if she would like to take her home-made VG diagram and present it in a court of law and for the record and under oath, to defend her claim that these were not production 767s and were not flown by the hijackers on 9/11.

Otherwise, it stands that the plane, under control of the hijackers hit the building.

You must have missed the point that the pilot was able to get it safely to an airport and land. At that point, who cares if the plane could still fly? The hijackers on 9/11 sure in the hell didnt care if the planes would be flyable after they were done.

A COMBINATION of the very high and excessive airspeeds, AND the excessive G forces....SIMULTANEOUSLY begin to impinge on structural integrity, more and more and more.

- The captain, first officer, and flight engineer said that they did not hear the overspeed aural warning and that the stall warning stickshaker did not activate at any time during the descent.
- As the airplane emerged from the clouds at about 11,000 feet it was, according to the captain, accelerating through 180 KIAS
- The first sustained data loss occurred at 1015:23 as the airplane was descending through 30,132 feet at 296 KIAS
- . At 1017:13, when the Group 1 synchros began displaying correct data, the airplane was at 9,577 feet and climbing and the airspeed was 221 KIAS
- During that 8-second period, the airplane descended from 14,541 feet to 13,950 feet and the airspeed increased from 87 KIAS to 110 KIAS
- the Safety Board believes that it was highly unlikely that the airplane ever achieved the necessary 250 KIAS to permit a successful airstart on engines Nos. 1, 2, and 3...
