As of this writing, CIT’s full video footage from their interviews with Shinki and Ed Paik have not been made public.

Bears repeating.

How many times have I pointed out the CIT has failed to release their raw video?

I can imagine that there is much consternation at the CIT tree house.

Go Home CIT, you're finished.
Actually Reheat, it is not me but the truther community that is outing these phony 'researchers'. Erik has simply followed-up leads provided by myself and others in the truther community and packaged it up in a nice neat bundle. They have been exposed as frauds by the same group they espoused to be the hero's of. Kinda ironic don't ya think?

There you go, rejecting one thing they say based on the other thing they say. Using that logic we could also lean towards NOC being false because "all witnesses on record place the plane impacting the pentagon".

So no.
This is contradicted by the paths you posted...see my explanation below:

It's not how far they are from the "SOC Path", but how far they are from each other which illustrates the minimum margin of error.

(Assuming that the citgo is 100' wide) A flight path that's reported 200 feet north of the citgo with a margin of error of 500 feet could have actually been 200 feet SOUTH of the citgo. Do you agree or disagree?

Because they claim that the plane flew north of the Citgo and subsequently impacted the Pentagon. A scenario which is impossible, even according to CIT. That makes every single one of those eyewitnesses wrong.

Yup. This is using CIT's logic against them.

CE, I am astonished that you continue to mindlessly regurgitate these frauds' omissions and ridiculous excuses: it was all Shinki's Fault!! And for god's sake, don't just cut and paste their ramblings

Here, let me bold this part of the article that Craig (in complete and utter desperation mode) ignores:

"As of this writing, CIT’s full video footage from their interviews with Shinki and Ed Paik have not been made public."

What part of that statement did you miss when slurping deeply from the well that is CIT's pathetic excuses?

Stop being a freaking mindless shill.

What the hell? You are agreeing with me?

Well, that is new. I mean, Craig's spin that he was to young and dumb to understand what his witnesses were saying is easily the most pathetic spin I have EVER seen in my life. He is not young, but it seems we agree that he is still a farking moran.

Of course he could clear this all up by releasing the raw videos, but we all know that is never going to happen.

Childlike Empress, did you ever find time to look into that 'bank angle' question I put to you some pages ago? It was over in the "8 out of 8" thread, but the same question is asked in #247 of this thread.

#247? Without numbers for 3., how did you come up with numbers for 4.? What are plausible speeds and why?

To the advantage of CIT theory, you choose the gentlest turn that is reasonably consistent with the several yellow NoC paths we see on the CIT graphics.

Choose a min and max speed then see how it looks, it's only two inputs to the bank-angle calculator after all. About 2 minutes effort. I'd suggest 300mph and 500mph, but the joy of this little exercise is you get to see how different parameters affect the bank angle.

Here is the calculator.

There is no 'speculation', it's a reasonable scientific exercise.
The easiest NoC curve of the approach can be pinned down from the CIT yellow lines (barely clipping the north of Citgo canopy) A 757 is subsonic, so choose reasonable min and max approach speeds to envelope the whole exercise.

When we interviewed Ed the first time off-location, his English was pretty bad and we were all a bit confused regarding his account INCLUDING exactly where he placed the plane, but our impression that he was outside was already established because of Shinki.
Is that how the interview with him was presented?

"His English is so bad that we couldn't ask him where he was at the time and we can't figure out where he says the plane was, but here he is anyway..."

Quote:
My main concern was making sure to get him on location so I could document the flight path he was describing accurately and with zero ambiguity which is why I had him illustrate it on 3 separate images.
Did it occur to Craig that given his language barrier difficulties, Paik might not be able to understand him very well either? Those lines he drew were obviously not what he saw, considering he saw what sounds like shadow of a wing outside the window for about 1 second. So what did he think he was supposed to be drawing?

I'm not crying fraud, because it might just be incompetence, but releasing the raw footage would help clear things up.

Childlike Empress, I'm curious what your opinion is on the witnesses who state they saw flight 77 crash into the Pentagon.

Wouldn't that be impossible with the supposed NORTH OF CITGO flight path?

And which testimony do you believe to be the right one? The crash witnesses or the NOC witnesses?

You cannot see the Navy Annex from where Ed is standing outside, and he keeps pointing south. Shinki keeps mentioning the grey belly of the aircraft.

It was south of his position.

Paik only goes as far as the middle of the road for an estimate of 77, and this is failure for the NoC if you understand math/physics. This makes the NoC impossible due to G force and witness testimony which does not have 80 degree of bank.

Please understand the roll rate of a 757, which you have zero clue what it is, make the NoC impossible from the middle of the road.

Due to human perceptions, the middle of the road Paik thinks (and he clearly said he thinks or estimates it, or maybe English and witness interpretation is out of your skill set) he saw 77, become the real flight path supported by RADAR and the FDR.

The speed is on the FDR, the final speed seconds after Paik is 483 KIAS, and the impact at the Pentagon is exactly the kinetic energy damage by a 757 airframe. Science makes CIT a bunch of idiots on this issue as they push impossible flight paths and fail to interpret witnesses statements to support reality.

I have investigated aircraft accidents and CIT did the worse analysis of Paik I have ever seen and you support their failed madness with talk, and posting poppycock from a drugged out moron, Craig. I suggest CIT go to college and gain some knowledge before their next attempt at being investigators. I have no idea how they can do worse, but then I never thought I would see Balsamo top 11.2 gs with 2,223 gs. Got math?

Clearly math and physics are not in your bag of tricks as you fall for the paranoid moronic delusions of the CIT NoC. When you look up the turn radius for aircraft flying at 483 KIAS it becomes clear CIT have no idea what is going on, and they are the research branch of p4t, Balsamo's failed pilots on 911 group of 2,223 g morons on 911 issues, they offer not theory because they have no skill except making up paranoid delusions.

Sure, go ahead show us the NoC. The real NoC to include bank angles, g force and all to match the FDR. No one at CIT has refuted the FDR. And the FDR shows the exact flight path p4t and CIT said was impossible because they can't do the math.

CIT and you are the speculators in paranoid conspiracy theories and you can't present a single reality based NoC flight path to save your failed delusional theory.

Need the equations? Need some help from a real pilot?

For 77 to go from right over Paik office to fly over the Pentagon at the impact point where CIT says it was hidden by the explosion (which was really the jet fuel fireball, the exact size of the fuel from a 483 KIAS impact to a building like the Pentagon which any trained aircraft accident investigator would know as do rational people) takes 75 degrees of bank and 4 gs, and thus Paik would not see 77 at all from inside his office. Since Paik says he saw the right wing, the bank angle was less than 10 degrees; oops.

Please present your fantasy math to support the failed ideas of CIT.


Is this a joke???

Craig is not a journalist, he is a liar or dumber than a rock when it comes to this topic. Craig is a fraud if you call him a journalists. Unless you define a journalist as someone who makes up moronic lies to fool the uniformed gullible masses of conspiracy minded paranoid people.


Got any reports of 75 degrees of bank? no

Paik sees the right wing because 77 was banking right, the right wing was down 5.8 degrees. Paik's point of view from inside his office places 77 about 35 to 40 degree up from his position. Math. Craig's lack of knowledge on witness interviews is complete and proved each time you watch his video. How he mangles the statements is his only skill, as he makes up idiotic conclusions. You could build a model, or even see this in your head if you had the math and geometry skills to see reality.

Edward and Shinki both describe the shadow passing right to left from their office perspective facing the street parallel to Columbia pike. For them to have seen the shadow. it had to be on the south-east side of Columbia pike. Else it flies through the Sheraton. It it was flying in a north easterly direction at an angle directly over their shop. Morin could not have seen it. And its as simple as that.



oh and this?

Here's a scenario I see as plausible re Ed Paik's testimony.

Ed sees the right wing of the plane. The plane is banking to the right, so the wing appears even bigger in his view, which makes he feel the plane even closer than it actually is. Add the surprise factor to the potential error in distance estimation.

In my opinion, he thinks the plane is so close that he estimates the plane's body to be over the office, so he estimates (and draws) the trajectory as going over the Navy Annex. Obviously that trajectory is not what he sees. However, let's consider that the plane may (or should I say must, to save other buildings?) be farther than he estimates.

Now, he sees the wing at a certain elevation with respect to him, but if we don't consider the perceived distance as reliable, all we know is that the plane is somewhere in the straight line from his eye and towards that elevation.

If we take the shadow testimony literally, we can estimate the actual ground distance from the plane to the office where he sees it using the FDR's agl altitude and the sun angle. This is subject to error, since the flash perceived could indeed be of exterior objects as has been already pointed out in this thread.

The math is trivial: given an angle of a right triangle and the opposite cathetus, find the other cathetus. I think that that's what A W Smith has calculated (posts #242 and #293). Give or take one wingspan plus some extra distance for the flashing of nearby objects causing the sensation that the shadow is over the office, and there it is: Ed Paik confirms SoC and the official flight path.

Erm...The only way Ed could see the right wing is if it were directly over his head, and we do not see that in the line he drew. The fuselage would otherwise be in the way, unless it was banking a bit to the left, putting the wing below the fuselage. But then, it could not have flown over the Annex without some rivet-popping g-loads.

This is confusing beyond belief.

I think that is because people are trying to read more into a recall than is there. At 450+ knots and less than 500 feet agl, inside a building looking out a window as it passed, scared out-of-his-wits, just how much do you think he really saw?

He saw something fly over going generally west to east, south of his location. Beyond that is expecting way too much.

Do I understand this correctly? You guys have been arguing for 11 pages over where a shadow was?

My reading of all this is that no matter where your 'witnesses' say they saw a shadow, they go on to say that the object was a plane and that it crashed into the Pentagon. So the argument isn't over whether the object was a plane or whether it crashed into the Pentagon. Everyone seems to agree on that. The argument going on here is about the accuracy of eyewitness details in personal accounts of an object that was traveling at over 500 miles an hour that was encountered for only a very brief period of time.

Have I missed something?

Not me. The OP is that CIT promoted fraudulent and staged eyewitness POV's. The rest is just fluff.

Like I have said before, the discussion regarding the NOC witnesses is irrelevant because there are witnesses who saw a commercial airliner smack into the Pentagon. Because the damage corroborates a SOC flight path, that is the path it had to have taken. End of story.

This is a diagram of what I meant (sorry for my crappy drawing ability):



The angles and relative sizes don't represent the proper ones. I'm just trying to illustrate the point, showing how Ed Paik may be corroborating the FDR/radar path.

The angle of the upper limit of the eye's sight from the window (the upper red line) should match that of the sun, for the shadow to go over the office and keep consistency.

Paik points south of his office and the shadow confirms his story.

Madlene Zakhem has the plane on the official flight path "directly over her" and she says 77 did not go over the Navy Annex. Oops. This means she will be thrown under the bus by the drugged up CIT dolts she calls "creepy".

No not over the Annex, went straight to the Pentagon.
From her position direct to the Pentagon impact is with in 3 or 4 degree of Flight 77 real path.

I have to admit that I had a hard time following what the CiT interviewers were trying to ask Ed. But, if he saw the airplane from where he was standing, he would have had a hard time visualising where it went past the roof of the building next to him. I do not see the Annex there. It seems to me that even flying a little way out from the Annex, it would appear to be flying over the center of it.

I can actually understand Ed almost as well as I understand what the Complete Idiot Team asks him.

CIT went and spoke with their 'witnesses' with a clear agenda and intentions of deceipt.

CIT asked leading questions to atleast one 'witness' that they now admit themselves had difficulty in speaking/understanding the English language. They asked leading questions of people who where not aware of the deceiptful way in which their answers would be used. Perhaps Ed Paik and Stinki should be concidering some form of legal retribution as clearly they are being misrepresented on here/youtube etc. Surely a law/laws exist in America to address this?

CIT have deceiptfully misrepresented their 'witness' statements and edited the videos they took. Yet the evidence that CIT shows us simply illustrates this deceipt. They have infact 'debunked' themselves and will continue to wriggle and squirm using sockpuppets to dig themselves deeper. Let them!

I notice Craig's rebuttal is up.

It contains absolutely nothing more than a number of ad hominem attacks, and a bizarre declaration that the fact their idiotic videos were proven as deceptive somehow supports their idiotic theory.

Notably, of course, Craig and Aldo don't offer to release their raw videos.

Of course.

Incompetent frauds.
