aal77

My colleague Tom Lusch has completed a presentation explaining the disappearance of AAL77 in the ZID airspace. It is a little technical, but not so bad that the layperson should not be able to digest it. I suspect even CPT'N Bob could grasp it. Here is a summary which suggests a few revisions...

I have expressed for many years now that I am a truther. I am quite proud to be a truther and find it particularly disheartening to have that term associated with some of the crazy that is 9/11. A truther is someone who simply does not subscribe to the government's explanation or version of...

Dr. Frank Legge and David Chandler have completed an Addendum to their September, 2011 paper, "The Pentagon Attack on 9/11: A Refutation of the Pentagon Flyover Hypothesis Based on Analysis of the Flight Path". The Addendum appears in the January 8, 2012 edition of the Foreign Policy Journal...

An Interview from the National Geographic documentary Witness D.C. 9/11 with Porter Goss on the morning of 9/11 is being hailed as possible evidence of the CIT/P4T Pentagon 'fly-over' over at P4T. 39t9RJh9yW4 The video captures the sound of an 'explosion', followed by a jet flying low...

This may be old, but I've never seen it before. Looks like it was shot late on 9/11 or on 9/12. A guy even holds up a part with (gasp!) American Airlines stamped on it with a serial number :jaw-dropp xVcPe6lVJsM It is a high-quality video and might come in handy in a few of the current threads.

The issue of the security cameras around the Pentagon has come up again in another thread with a poster repeating and linking P4T nonsense. As normal, when challenged on his information he simply posted a photograph. But in the real world, you just can't post a photograph, jump up-and-down...

I wanted to run another 'bizarre' situation among JREF folks to answer a comment about me by Captain Swoop in another thread. My "ideas" are, "trust, but verify". Case in point a strange entry in the NEADS MCC-T log for the day of 9/11. Erik Larson and MikeW have both done a wonderful job...

Sheesh ... Cpt'n Bob and friends Pilots for Truth have solved 9/11 (again). I think I've about spent enough time on their foolishness. Nothing new, just the same old stuff we have addressed in other threads. But I figured I'd start a thread just in case anyone wanted to respond. The...

I've been trying to get some of my files moved up to MegaUploads so that others can access them. As many of you know, I have a thing for using the best quality available so that means large file sizes. Citgo Security Video Early on I was able to get the original VHS tape that the FBI sent to...

9/11gate, "AA77" FDR numerology That is the latest hypothesis coming from our friends at P4T. This is primarily based on Warrens RO coordinate outputs (yes, the same one's they claimed were invalid a week ago) for the end of flight 11 (LAX to IAD) and beginning of flight 12 (IAD to LAX which...

Miles Kara has posted some audio and other details for the Vigilant Guardian Exercise on his 9/11 blog. This exercise highlights just how much time it took to develop a response. That exercise ended with an exploded plane on the runway. I guess a link to the article would help...

As many on JREF are aware, there was a dominate theory at one point that AAL77 was landed at some point after being lost by ZID radar around 12:57 and its reappearance over Charleston, WV at around 9:05. I will be doing another field trip to tie up some loose ends next month, starting at the...

One aspect of modeling the final seconds of AAL77's path based on the available radar and flight data recorder data seems to escape the fans of P4T and CIT on an on-going basis. So, I thought I would do a very basic primer on what is meant by a measurement system and the range of error...

I've been working this particular angle for several months now and I've debated whether or not to post it here. Some people will take the information out-of-context and come up with some not-so-well-thought-out CT, but I am at the stage where I need feedback. I am NOT going to list witnesses and...

I started a project back in late-2006 focused on the attack on the Pentagon and flight of American Airlines flight 77. I wanted to establish for my own understanding exactly what had happened in that event. I had read the 911 Commission Report and reviewed many of the conspiracy theories common...

I decided to drop by the CIT home to see if they have made any progress yet. Aldo has just presented an exhaustive eyewitness list by categories of observations. Even in their list, one major omission...no fly-over witness category. CIT Eyewitness List Oh my, how could this have happened? I...

The FBI has released another of those "mysterious" videos they have been holding onto. This footage is from the roof camera located at the DEA HQ on Army-Navy Drive across from the Pentagon. Unfortunately, the camera was pointed down at the facility entrance at the time of the event, but was...

I was checking the referral links to AAL77.COM this morning and came across some interesting work by dMole at the P4T forum. He seems to be a sharp individual who is attempting to use some of the FAA TRACON data I have posted at the site to come up with a viable flight path. Unfortunately he is...

In August of 2007 I initiated a FOIA with the Army Center for Military History for copies of interviews conducted by them shortly after the September 11, 2001 attack on the Pentagon. Since the Army took the brunt of the losses resulting from the attack, their effort to document the impact upon...

I received 2 DVD's from the FBI this morning as an interim release for FOIA 1078686-000. I have one converted to MPG and uploaded, but I'm trying to get the second one trimmed down in file size (wmv file) so that it can be accessed on the web (currently 700mb). I'll post a link for both...

The plot below illustrates the primary radar "hole" experienced by ZID on 9/11 and verifies that indeed AAL77 did drop off the ZID (Indianapolis) ATC's radar screens. This contributed to the confusion over what had happened to the plane. The ZID data is from 12:38 to 13:18 (GMT). ZID Primary...

The FAA did not provide raw data or software, so I not only had to extract the data from the output files, but also write software to view it with. I created a gif using that software using the DCA ASR data. The blue "square" is the Navy Annex and the "pentagon" is the Pentagon. I did not spend...

While plotting the RO2 and radar data, I noted that the loop begins and ends with the Skyline Mall in Falls Church, VA. It is known from FBI records that Hani Hanjour and friends moved to Falls Church after leaving Phoenix. This is just an observation, but it looks like Hanjour used this Mall as...

I have been working with the NTSB data releases for American Airlines Flight 77 since mid-2006. By early 2007, I had developed a hypothesis that a Read-Out2 (RO2) of the raw flight data recorder file done by Undertow of the Pilots for 911 Truth was the best representation of the flight path...
