Is this graphical representation of 77's final approach correct?

Do we know? Is it the commonly accepted, government approved version of the final flight path? Also, when he crossed 395 do we have any clue as to his approximate altitude?



Edited to add:

Bigger version here.

that Mike Williams recently received pursuant to his FOIA request, and perhaps you can also find the answer to your second question therein.

You'll find the data here:

http://www.911myths.com/html/ntsb_release_august_22_2006.html

Documents 1, 2, 4 and 6 in particular.

I assume you've seen the previously released data that is duplicated in document #5 since the photo that you posted in the opening post seems to come from that.

make7 has it in a post here with link, it is now the "official" version, replacing another version.

Unless that is where you got it and I am no help whatsoever. It looks like it is as official as anything that is released by the Pentagon can be considered official.

that I must have just skipped it. Also, I haven't paid attention to 77 too much, it didn't strike me as the alley to search for the smoking gun. I seriously thought they took the river approach to National Airport and then veered wildly off course.

That is so freaky it can't be correct, they must be off. I lived at the time at the spot where it crosses Route 7, basically where the two yellow lines meet. That would be "King Street", one block from my home at that time. I should have seen him twice, along with a whole lot of other folks. This is 15 miles or less from the Pentagon, I would figure he was rapidly descending on the second fly over.

Do you know, has anyone said he flew over Ft. Belvoir?

Wish I could help out here, but I am very unfamiliar with that area.

Here's an old CBS article:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2001/09/11/national/main310721.shtml

At 9:33 the plane crossed the Capitol Beltway and took aim on its military target. But the jet, flying at more than 400 mph, was too fast and too high when it neared the Pentagon at 9:35. The hijacker-pilots were then forced to execute a difficult high-speed descending turn.

Radar shows Flight 77 did a downward spiral, turning almost a complete circle and dropping the last 7,000 feet in two-and-a-half minutes.

The steep turn was so smooth, the sources say, it's clear there was no fight for control going on. And the complex maneuver suggests the hijackers had better flying skills than many investigators first believed.

not that I necessarily believe it. The intent, I think, is to confuse.

and continue to be fed is in the service of confusion. I think the recently released video of the pentagon hit served this purpose excellently.

...highlighted below......



If radar showed that fl77 did a downward spiral.......

Then the radar would have needed to know fl77's altitude......

But how could the radar have displayed fl77's altitude.......if fl77's transponder was turned off!

without a transponder.

I don't see any reference to military radars in the CBS article....do you?

Fairfax Parkway on the left , and the train tracks in the middle. Those train tracks run into Belvoir. They call it Jack Herrity Pkwy or something - my eyes aren't good enough to be certain of the spelling there - but I've never heard it called that it's either Fairfax Parkway or Rt. 7100. They have very little in that area in the way of landmarks, roads etc, for me to be sure of it's precise location in that graphic. If he didn't fly over it, he came damn close.

Thanks for the link, it appears from what they say that he would have been quite low when crossing over my neighborhood the second time, and basically in a spiral dive. It boggles my mind - this would have been like the mother ship landing in my neighborhood, hundreds of people would have seen it and been fascinated/outraged/confused/amazed. It would have been the damn talk of the town for months.

Ft. Belvoir, FWIW, is one of the places where we have 24 hour crews sitting underground at computer screens with input codes to send up the nukes. I've known folks who did this job, 72 on - 72 off, it's a killer and wears you out fast. They don't welcome visitors much, if you know what I mean.

it appears that the published flight path may well be questionable. This wouldn't surprise me, since, sadly, I think pretty much everything the gov tells us is suspect.

If the published path is in error, why do you tink they did not publish the real path?

At the White House Friday, spokesman Ari Fleischer saw it a different way.

"That is not the radar data that we have seen," Fleischer said, adding, "The plane was headed toward the White House."


Confusion yes......

so maybe he will show up and discuss. I tend to disbelieve it because they changed it, why would they do that. I'm more interested in the people who were allegedly ON flight 77 and where they worked, strangely all related to the DoD or NASA somehow.

everything it will make you blind. It's like going to the bar, you've gotta pick your poison, if you try to drink some of everything they've got you'll wind up sick on the floor with your head spinning out of control and not knowing how you got there. Why would they change it though, especially to show it going over this highly populated area in a 'downward spiral,' that really doesn't make sense.

It's kind of funny, we all thought it was one of our rare earthquakes, until we got to a TV. Apparently some folks in the Pentagon said they didn't feel the impact at all... I have to call BS on that. Dead men probably felt the impact.

and

Here is a webpage where the person who apparently created that version explains how he did it.

Thanks for that, though it looks like that guy used mainstream news reports to construct it.

This guy was usin' binoculars to watch the UFO (AKA flight 77)..........

In the words of Ken Ford............

We were watching the airport through binoculars, Ford said, referring to Reagan National Airport, a short distance away.
The plane was a two-engine turbo prop that flew up the river from National. Then it turned back toward the Pentagon. We thought it had been waved off and then it hit the building.

The above is testimony which contradicts the official trajectory in a big way........as you can see....according to the 9/11 Omm report.....flight 77 never flew up the river.........



I tend to believe Ken Ford more than the 9/11 Omm.....seeing as Ken Ford gave his testimony on 9/12/01...........
