Your paragraph is false, snowcrash911.
Lagasse directly claims NoC and impact. There is no extrapolation required from his testimony to understand what he states happened that day.

For my paragraph to be false, it would mean Lagasse agrees that Lloyd England is "in on it", the light poles were staged, as well as the generator, the flap track, the fence, the DNA and the directional damage, the exit hole, etc.

snowcrash911, Lagasse stated that he saw the plane NoC and that it impacted. There is no further extrapolation required to understand his point of view.

Here we go again...
snowcrash911, very early in my ATS posting career, I once called another member a liar. A moderator warned me against it. I lost points for it and was slapped on the wrist. These days, it seems that the term 'lying' or 'liar' are common place, without any moderation.
I did not lie to you. I explained how your paragraph was false. Lagasse's statement does not need extrapolation, for he supports NoC and impact.
Perhaps if any moderators still read these threads, they might like to tighten up on the ridiculous name calling that's been happening. snowcrash911's false assumption that I was lying is a perfect example.
I haven't posted on ATS for a while and it doesn't seem that I've missed much, judging by the recent standard of posts that I've been reading.
Whatever way you try to spin it snowcrash911, Lagasse supports NoC and impact without any required extrapolation from his point of view.edit on 28-12-2011 by tezzajw because: spelling

Snowcrash, the French accident and modified FDR tape he's all hot and bothered about was not a DFDR. The data on magnetic tape was modified either by Airbus or Govt Officials (I'm not sure which) because there was a problem with the flight controls and the tape modifications attempted to covered up that problem because it would have adversely affected Airbus sales. As you know a tape is easy to modify, but a DFDR is not. There is no evidence of modifications at all.....NONE.
The black boxes have been physically opened, the magnetic tape has been cut. Normally you put the black boxes into a reading machine without opening them - the same way you read a cassette in a video recorder.
8 seconds are missing in the recording, 4 seconds are missing just before the impact.
There is no indication of longitudinal deceleration at the impact. This might be expected in a collision with a mountain, but in Habsheim the recorders should have been able to operate until the aircraft disintegrated. Any crash which could be survived by all but 3 passengers should not have caused an abrupt stop in the DFDR recording.

You are bang on with those two anomalous returns near the Pentagon. They were either false artifacts or part of enough bulk of material from the explosion and fire that they produced a weak return. The smoke was so thick and heavy with suspended material that that itself may have provided enough of a return, so that 84 RADES noted it on the radar record. One might presume that would be obvious to most folks with a clue....

What are the implications of NoC + impact and what would Lagasse think of that? You think Lagasse supports light pole planting, DNA and body part planting, magical column bending explosives, generator damage and flap track fakery, NWO tree trimming, fence bending, FDR & radar fakery, Elderly Black Ops Cab Drivers, NoC path tree dodging and diagonally oriented C-ring exit hole wall breaching kits?

They cut the tape... they didn't fake any data... there is a difference! Yet, that article calls it a DFDR.. I guess meaning that although the medium is "analog" (not a solid state chip), it still records digital data...

Yawn...
I don't know what Lagasse thinks about any of that.
Originally posted by tezzajw
What I do know is that Lagasse claimed that a plane flew NoC and impacted the Pentagon. His statement did not need any further extrapolation to understand what he thinks happened.
Originally posted by tezzajw
You should note that I never claimed you were lying.
Originally posted by snowcrash911
Lagasse disagrees with the conspiratorial extrapolations made by either NoC + impact or NoC + flyover theorists. This is an indication of cognitive dissonance rather than anything else, certainly not that he's "secretly on your side".
Originally posted by snowcrash911
Case in point: Retract your accusation that my assessment of the abuse of Lagasse's testimony was "false".
Originally posted by snowcrash911
Clearly it's not, and clearly Lagasse doesn't support or endorse the conspiratorial extrapolations tied to his NoC + impact account, for either flyover or directional damage fakery. Had he known of it beforehand, he would have WALKED.

LaBTop, ProudBird raises an important point which I have not seen addressed elsewhere ( sorry if it has )
He points out that the radar altitude readings from the FDR would have reflected AA 77's height above the Annexe roof if the aircraft was right over it.
You have indicated a flightpath which puts the plane completely over wing 8. Radar altitude then should show a sharp increase as soon as wing 8 is cleared, at 3 seconds or so before impact.
Is there such a sudden increase ? when we know in fact that the plane was continuing to descend.
Have just seen the obvious flaw in my argument in that I don't know the rate at which radar altitude is recorded but I am sure somebody does.edit on 28-12-2011 by Alfie1 because: (no reason given)

Over his head...
Seems that too many are taking that phrase too literally. As I recall, Morin also said he could see the side of the fuselage, to include the distinctive American Airlines red and blue stripes as part of the paint scheme.
Observe this American Airlines B-757 passing nearly directly above (over) the photographer:
Then, recall the speed of the airplane at that point, upwards of ~700 feet per second.
Finally, if Morin were indeed located in-between two wings of the building itself, in order for this fantasy of the airplane also having flown over the roofs of the building as well?
Then the Radar Altitude from the FDR information kindly provided by Warren Stutt would have indicated such. The Rad Alt would have shown the relative height above the building's roofs.
But of course....referring back to the FDR again, we once more can see why this discussion is futile, can't we?
Oh, and for all reading here who have never actually been to the Pentagon? One look, with your own eyes, and you will realize that the terrain elevations preclude this "flight over the rooftops" of the barracks annex building.
Photos of an area as viewed by those playing along at home on their computers do not adequately convey the physical arrangements and orientations.

The radar altimeter does not indicate height above trees or towers.

Is tracking capability "groundspeed", No. Is it "vertical speed", Not exactly. What will happen outside this limit of 330 ft/s. Outside the certification limits the accuracy is not guaranteed to be as per specification.

There are also filters that prevent sudden large changes of altitude, such as when passing over another aircraft.

In both those links, from what I know "gravity32" is Frank Legge, and the answers he gets are from RA experts. I won't bore you with the litany of technical papers I also have, which I've parsed for additional RADALT info.
From what I gather, Rockwell Collins' first RA to use a DSP for RA signal processing is the LRA 2100, not the LRA 900. The LRA 900 presumably uses 'dumb' hardware logic/circuits for signal processing.
In any case, P4T's claims that AA 77's RA exceeded tracking capability due to ground speed is false. Tracking capability refers to descent rate, not ground speed.edit on 28-12-2011 by snowcrash911 because: (no reason given)
Actually the goverment interviews happened shortly after the incident, the joke interviews were conducted 5 years later. All take shortly thereafter at a different location.

Any reference of your's to my 'side' is irrelevant and pointless speculation, as you don't know which 'side' I'm on, or if I'm on any 'side' at all. I used to be a very active ATS member, but now this website is not much more of a distraction for when I have some spare moments to kill. Arguing about 911 (or most other conspiracies) is not the centre of my universe any longer. Sometimes watching paint dry is equally as appealing as reading ATS.

You clarified what you meant by 'extrapolation' in a later post. That helped to explain the tone of your paragraph that I originally quoted.
Originally posted by tezzajw
How can you presume to know that Lagasse 'would have WALKED'?
Originally posted by tezzajw
Let's not discuss what 'would have' happened, as that's irrelevant and pointless speculation.
The fact is that Lagasse is on record stating that he saw a plane fly NoC and then hit the Pentagon. That requires no further extrapolation to understand what he experienced.
What did I mean when I used the term "extrapolation"? The "inside job" implications pandered by NoC + impact theorists. What are the implications of NoC + impact and what would Lagasse think of that? You think Lagasse supports light pole planting, DNA and body part planting, magical column bending explosives, generator damage and flap track fakery, NWO tree trimming, fence bending, FDR & radar fakery, Elderly Black Ops Cab Drivers, NoC path tree dodging and diagonally oriented C-ring exit hole wall breaching kits?
You have GOT to be kidding.
The issue is crystal clear. The implications of NoC + impact are extrapolated, and Lagasse doesn't agree with them.

Neither of those paths will line up with the directional damage.
Both of them will require a LEFT BANK that is nowhere to be seen in the Stutt "data".
You can spam all you want and cry "nirvana fallacy" when you're wriggling to get out of that corner every time I ask the simple question as to whether Morin was looking above his head within the Navy Annex or looking across Columbia Pike at the Navy Annex carpark.It's that simple.

The "vertical limitation" notion can be put to rest with a simple image Snowcrash.
What happens when an aircraft crosses this terrain? Where a 27º slope, according to what you're saying, would send the RADALT into overdrive. Period.

TPE, can you give me some authority for the assertion that 330 fps relates to horizontal speed over the ground ?
If it does, would you agree that there must therefore be very serious implications for its use in connection with ground proximity warning as 330 fps is a low speed for a jetliner ?
