Here's another CIT presentation, "Over the Navy Annex". It is 24 minutes long and most of it is a recorded conversation between Terry Morin and Craig Ranke. A very interesting conversation. It starts with Morin explaining how he was told not to talk to people because of "the conspiracy theories":

Gee, CE, have you seen the raw tapes that the CIT Mutts had promised to release, because no one else has.
Anyway, thank you for the following: "describing the plane approaching over the navy annex and flying between the citgo station and arlington cemetary." and this: "They have seen him turn away from the street and explaining how the plane flew over his garages and the right wing was over where [Paik] he is standing." Now, perhaps you can do what the incompetent frauds at PFFT and CIT can't do: give us the calculations for that flight path, you know bank angle, G force, etc. Don't worry for the time being about the descent and fantasy pull up and over. Say, did you ever explain why you think that CIT's right hand man Cap'n Bobby is a snake oil salesman? |

![]() That's nice CE. How do you reconcile this element of the testimony, in which all "NOC" witness and the remaining 100+ witnesses place the planes final destination inside the pentagon? Please don't leave me hanging for a year or more like a certain red bird has already done. Don't tell me you plan to ignore this element to testimony from witnesses you believe are credible in discussing this "contradictory" flight path. |

Oh by the way, Paik never points over 'his garages'. CE really does need to watch that video again.

The last time I was here not ONE SOC witness was presented. I don´t know how the link given is meant to contradict the testimony of the NOC witnesses. First, there are no witnesses within that vicinity who counter their claims as to which path the plane followed between the Navy Annex and the Pentagon. Second, the vast majority of ´testimony´ linked to are mainly unconfirmed media reports. Some of which, when looked at in more detail, actually coincide and reinforce the NOC witness testimony. Some are taken completely out of context. Some are media embellishments and not direct quotes. MANY had no view at all or weren´t even within a 2 mile radius. Some are totally anonymous initialled accounts. Some are disinfo. More importantly, NONE are SOC witnesses. Mind explaining how these statements contribute either way to defining the final seconds of the plane´s appearance in this particular Arlington basin of land? Ralph Banton

Witnesses (including NOC witnesses) who describe a ´right bank´ on this list
William Middleton Snr and Sean Boger who are on this list describe a right-bank. http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/u...ToTheRight.jpg http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/u...iusangling.jpg Boger:

There can be no other translation of this statement.

Hi! Thanks for cutting and pasting from banned members posts elsewhere on the internet. Please don't do that again!
Anyway, so if you have South Path witness who is not an impact witness, you throw them RIGHT THE **** OUT, huh? Wow, that is amazing. Richard Benedetto Quote: ¨ The plane went down and for a split second it was out of my line of vision because there was a bridge there and a hill. ... I DID´NT ACTUALLY SEE THE IMPACT... ¨ Nuff said.. Wow! He did not see the impact, so he is worthless? Are you kidding, why don't you apply that same standard to the mutts' North of Citgo witnesses? CIT lies and claims that none of them saw the impact either. Nuff Said, huh CIT fan? Nuff said, indeed! That is the problem when you rely on poorly educated agenda driven morons to come up with a theory. They cheery pick the hell out of everything, and sucker in the weak minded patsies to repeat their lies. I mean, the right bank you mention: only complete incompetents like Fat Aldo and his Reggae Drummer fraud friend would deceive you like that. To even have the chance of flying the most conservative path NOC path, the airliner would have to be banked almost on its side. ON ITS SIDE. CITiots are flat freaking lying to you. Don't be a sucker. |

YOU are applying these standards.
Saw NOC? Misremembered. Right bank? Wrong. Why so much difficulty in naming SOC witnesses? Richard Benedetto is an SOC witness?

Fascinating how pentagon fly-over people throw their own witness's statements under the bus when it has anything to do with all of them point at the pentagon as the impact area. Absolutely fascinating...

Yep. It seems to me that they throw out all witness testimony, of any kind, except in the case of the small handful of people who claim to see it on another path.. and even then, that's the only part of their testimony that they give any credence to. Just that little bit where their testimony is different from the massive group of other witnesses. It's pretty damned obvious to anyone with half a brain. But then, these are people who are convinced that being able to punch even the slightest tiny hole into the massive, overwhelming evidence that's out there, somehow makes the entire "official story" suspect. |

I have no problem accepting that even NOC witnesses believe they saw an impact. What I DO have a problem with is the official flight-path before it allegedly reached that point.
Even the witnesses linked to earlier in this thread do NOT contradict NOC. The ´hundred plus witnesses to an impact´ is a falsehood. I´m still waiting on the SOC witnesses. Apparently there are ´100´s of them´ |

Mudlark doesn't it seem odd to you that nobody saw a flyover? Doesn't that make your "hmmm" meter go off? How could something like that be missed by EVERY witness?

Which ´massive group´ would that be then?
Is there even a small group (say...2) who corraborate eachother on SOC? Ignore the NOC witnesses all you want. That they ALL collectively ´misremembered´. They are the only confirmed testimony. Media quotes does it for you? Media quotes that have been proven to be false/journalistic embellishment in many cases? Quotes that I have just shown have no bearing on the NOC/SOC debate? |

BZZZT! The correct answer is... D! 11 of CIT's 13 eyewitnesses actually saw, with their own eyes, the plane hit the Pentagon. The only two who didn't were Paik (who was too far away) and Turcios (who ran like hell, and I can't say I blame him in those circumstances). Check out what Sean Boger has to say about the impact, and watch Ranquis twist themselves into knots trying to explain it away.
Thanks for playing though. You do get a lovely parting gift. |

The ANC workers (apart from William Middleton)? They ADMITTED that they were too busy running away as the plane was nearly on top of them.
Roosevelt Roberts? The guy who said that ´the explosion hit´ THEN he saw the plane? Weird impact witness. Brooks even admitted that he ´deduced the lightpoles being ´struck´ but retracted this in his interview with CIT. Deduction played a major part. And again, whether they believed they saw an ´impact´ or not, this is physically impossible from NOC. Lagasse
Quote:
Stars & Stripes September 12, 2001 Levi Stephens, 23, a courier for the Armed Forces Information Service, spoke of the crash:
Quote:
CIT sent him an image to depict exactly where he was and came to this conclusion: ![]() He said:
Quote:
On being asked about the flightpath he confirmed that it flew over the Navy Annex, that he did NOT witness the lightpoles being ´struck´ and that he had ´put 2 and 2 together´ after watching the news. He was adamant that the plane flew on the ¨Arlington Cemetery´ side of the Citgo Station - North Side. NOC = No impact. |
