Evasion noted. The question is whether the simulation disproves your contention that the fact that United 175 appears to penetrate the building with no noticeable deformation or slowing proves that there's not really a plane in any of the videos. You are attempting to reframe the question to ask whether the simulation proves that there was actually a plane. Please adress the question I asked, rather than the one you wish I'd asked.

I as well, am confused by this one. But that is my understanding of it.
Given the way Jamm keeps trying to call into question the source of the "NTSB" data, I interpret him this way: The fact that the two lines do not coincide to within a few meters proves that they cannot be tracking the same object. The fact that he thinks RADES has a more reliable source means that it was tracking a real object (an invisible stealth plane equipped with mist-spraying holo-projector). The fact that the "NTSB" data lines up with videos of 175 impact--but does not line up with RADES--proves that the NTSB data was faked to match the path of the fake plane that everyone saw on teevee.

So we have military radar tracking a real invisible plane, and faked data to match a faked plane. And all of the other radar data BCR mentions... um... You all just accept anything the gubmint tells you based on the flimsiest evidence. Planes and multiple data sets. Ridiculous.

Anyway, that is what I have been able to gather while lurking.

Hello Dave,

In an around about way, I think your quoted post is a form of double checking for accuracy of understanding. As you know, that is a form of posting that I think works well.

Most recently, I did that in post #346

http://forums.randi.org/showpost.php...&postcount=346

In #346, I asked posters who had clearly adopted as true the proposition that the accuracy of radar decreases as the distance from the radar site increases, all as more fully set out in #346, whether they'd like to re-think their adoption of that proposition in any way.

So far, there have not been many responses to my request that posters re-think their agreement with the error factor in radar. We'll see how that develops.

Meanwhile, as to your request for understanding, let me say this:

Yes, the proposition put forward by RDHall is that the military radar, RADES, tracked a stealth aircraft. That aircraft did not hit the South Tower.

The civilian radar showed an object hitting the South Tower.

Furthermore, the civiian radar accurately tracked the teevee imagery right into the tower and did so along the full path of the radar data Hall relied on, which radar data, as stated, was based on the civilian data, compiled from various sources, including airports and including RADES. The name "civilian" radar is, then, a misnomer because Bower, the author of the NTSB study, acknowledges using radar inputs from BOTH civilian and military sources.

The important point that has been missed, and that you missed, is that Hall claims there was no object, other than a projection, that hit the South Tower. So, it is not that two objects were tracked. Only one was. And, the actual object that was tracked did not hit the tower.

I hope this serves to clarify what is claimed by Hall, as shown in his video.

Thank you for double checking.

Blessings

No jammy it clarifies nothing.

Where are your STEALTH PLANE SPOTTERS?

We can use your "eyewitness method" if you like?

It's very clear to me that you and Hall have decided that the trace that superficially supports your claim is accurate to a much greater level than its known margin of error, and the trace that fails to support your claim is simply discarded without explanation, despite the fact that the two sets of information can be reconciled on the basis of additional information to produce a result that contradicts your claim. This form of argument is known as "cherry-picking", and is a reliable way to reach a false conclusion. It's clear that you have started from a presumption that no plane hit the towers, have distorted whatever subset of the evidence can be distorted in order to support this fallacy, and discarded any evidence to the contrary. On this, at least, there is no need for me to check the accuracy of my understanding.

Dave

Yep, that is an accurate stance, and it follows directly from middle school geometry and the fact that two components of the values that radar measures are angles. BCR explained it again in a recent post. If you don't understand it, then perhaps you have forgotten all your middle school geometry. Ask your grandchildren then to explain it to you.

...
May I double check for accuracy: You claim that Hall claims that
  • civilian radar showed an object hitting the South Tower
AND
  • there was no object, other than a projection, that hit the South
It is unfortunate that this wording implies a contradiction. I would have thought that a seasoned man of the word by profession like you would avoid such confusion.

Your claims could be construed in two distinct ways:
  1. There was an object that hit the South Tower, and there wasn't an object that hit the South Tower (and civilian radar shows it)
  2. Civilian radar only apparently shows an object that isn't there, i.o.w. the civilian radar data is manufactured, or faked
Now the problem with this seems to be that BCR has got not one but TWO civilian radar data sets, both from source, and both agree on presence and path of said object, and it all is corroborated with all of the other evidence, including, but not limited to, TV images, eye witness testimony, plane debris and human remains from UA 175 found in places consistent with a crash into the ST, and RADES radar.

Your stealth plane however is not corroborated by anything at all - not even the RADES data, which, strangely, shows no plane north of the ST after the object apparently (and, face it, jam, really) slammed into the tower.
Stealth planes, as has been pointed out several times already, are invisible (or nearly so) to radar - so RADED should not have picked up a good signal, but they are not invisible to human eyes and cameras. So it seems that your interpretation of the RADES data seems far-fetches and highly implausible.

I think you need to do better than you have done so far to even begin sounding anything but foolish.



Much better.

Hello again, Mark

I think the above is a reach. By definition, as I understand it, an ad hominem attack is directed towards an individual person. Wiki puts it this way:

"An ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"), short for argumentum ad hominem, is an attempt to negate the truth of a claim by pointing out a negative characteristic or belief of the person supporting it."

You correctly quote that I had addressed a concern that I linked to "debunkers" which, because of the plural is obviously not directed towards any person in particular; and, just as obviously, does not name any person. In that sense, it is really more of an impersonal statement.

So, with that in mind, let me double check that you still think it proper to accuse me of an ad hominem attack based on what I said about "debunkers'?

Quote:
Or maybe you're just hoping people will forget where the thread started. The fact was then, and is now, that having two disparate radar tracks comes nowhere near proving that Flight 175 didn't strike the South Tower. So, it was predictable that you would end up fuming about the people who pointed this out. It's your last refuge.
In your second quote, you appear to press the accusation of ad hominem attack on the basis of what you claim is an inability to prove a point through other, more legitimate means.

You are mistaken. The point of the RDHall video is that, yes, there are two separate paths, one missing and one hitting the South Tower. But, there appears to be considerable confusion on what he next claims. He claims the RADES data, that show the object missing the tower is the accurate data and that the data showing a hit merely tracks the holographic (or other form of projection) image that is seen to melt into the tower, followed, I would add, by explosions appearing first on the east face, then almost simultaneously on the north and on the south, the latter being the face that was ostensibly hit by the shadow thingy. The explosion timing (east first, north and south next or last) is really a strong piece of visual evidence that the imagery of the shadow thingy was fake.

The essential point is that there is but one track. The data are cooked or are based on false radar blips designed to show that the teevee imagery is correct, when, in fact, it is not.

There are a number of ways this could have come about, including, but not limited to, the military exercises taking place on 9/11 that simulated the hijacking of aircraft and the crashing of them into buildings. A simulation is, by definition, a process that puts out false information; as in false radar blips, by way of one example. And, by way of projected images, for another example.

So, I hope the above paragraph clarifies. Let me know if you still need more clarification.

And, although I do not think it necessary, I will here say that I did not engage in an ad hominem attack. Whether you think there are examples of such attacks in this thread is, of course, for you to determine.

Let me give you the familiar answer: No.

Why wouldn't two sets of measurements with error "traverse different lines, different angles and different turns"? Do you really not understand that a graphic depiction of the data is not "the actual world of what was observed," no matter how gorgeous the 3D rendering might be?
Firstly, what is your answer to your question? Or, put differently, if you have a claim, please make it.

Quote:
(And by the way, has it occurred to you that RDH's depiction of the RADES data includes -- by his own description -- a point that doesn't exist in the RADES data?)
Yes, that has occured to me. The reason it has occured to me is that RDHall says that in the video.


Quote:
That is false. BCR's comments about measurement error can be assessed without looking at the source data at all. However, since you have insisted upon selectively impugning the source data, why shouldn't he tell you where you could find it?
I think we've probably moved beyond the quibble you are engaging in.

Does evidence of measurement error actually scare you? Are you happier seeing imaginary lines traced in an artificially rendered sky? (I don't object to the rendering, as long as it isn't construed literally.)
Mark, I can assure you measurement error does not scare me. As you may have gleaned by now, I think the issue of measurement error is about to loom large in this thread. That will depend on what posters do in response to my double check for accuracy of understanding set out in post # 346

Radar data: Error too great to be useful as evidence

BCR,

In a much earlier post when you were in the process of going out and then coming back in again, I recall you posting a sign off asking others to tell me that you are a truther. I think I'm here quoting you accurately, if not, please advise.

Based on a number of your posts, culminating in post # 355, quoted below, I agree YOU ARE, INDEED, A TRUTHER.

You have succeeded in making use of 9/11 RADAR DATA utterly and totally inadmissible as evidence. You have shown all of us that radar data is too unreliable, too prone to error and too uncertain to pass muster as admissible evidence.

Here's what you need to do. Write to the Office of Military Commissions, including the prosecutor and the defense. You have likely shown how Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the other scapegoats who are to be tried in kangaroo court in Guantanamo, will get off scott free.

Your information is needed by the prosecution so they do not present false, unreliable evidence; and by the defense so that they'll be able to demonstrate reasonable doubt.

You have shown, without much doubt, that the ERROR RATE for the 9/11 radar that has been used is too great to be useful. That radar data misses, almost literally, by a mile, according to your own calculation. Not only that, the actual documentation, and in particular the NTSB documentation does a poor job of acknowledging the error rate. True, the NTSB documentation admits the existence of error, but does not disclose its magnitude. You do.

The magnitude of the error factor makes the radar data FUBAR.

Thank you

Blessings

The distance from the site to the target is ~= 66 nmi. This is a simple trigonometry problem and they teach it in high school, so this should be very easy to understand.

The error, although angular has a spatial dimension. Lets just denote that Ea and the distance as d. We know from trigonometry that the tangent of our angle (0.2 degrees) error = Ea/d. This means that Ea = the tangent of our angle * d.

Ea = tan(0.2) * 66 nmi = 0.003490672681596250318515686056015 * 66 nmi = 0.23038439698535252102203527969699 nmi ~= 1/4 nmi

So, yes. By the specification of the radar's accuracy, at 66 nmi the "azimuth accuracy is limited to" ~1/4 nmi. This statement is expressed by +/- 1/4 nmi since by definition accuracy is the deviation from "true" (or as I prefer to call it, the mean of the sample population).

That is as simple as I can make it. I will not endeavor to explain it again.

More: The ~= means approximately equal to. The 1/4 is easier to work with than 0.23038439698535252102203527969699 and type.

Clarification:

No, the proposition is that there is AT LEAST that much. We already showed that it could be much more and just looking at the actual RADES screens shots for RIV and GIB posted, it most likely is.

Now it's my turn to say:

Take another look at the OP. I think the RDHall video serves mostly to undermine the radar data, showing that, in actuality, it tracks an aircraft that didn't hit the South Tower.

An additional benefit of the RDHall video is that it has resulted in an open discussion, involving some self-proclaimed experts, who have conclusively shown that the 9/11 radar data literally couldn't find a jetliner in a hangar.

You guys are lucky I don't play 'gotcha games' or else I could have had a field day.

You agree?

To clarify, for you "can locate to within 1/4 to 2 nmi from 66nmi away" is the same as "cannot locate at all, ever."

Does this mean that a device that can measure the size of a bullet wound to within 1% cannot even tell if there a bullet wound? That I cannot tell if someone is standing in front of me because I cannot tell their height to within 2 inches?

Or perhaps you instead mean to say, "jammonius automatically wins no matter what."

You guys are lucky I don't play 'gotcha games' or else I could have had a field day.

You agree?
So radar data proving a plane hit the tower is now proof that a plane didn't hit the tower?

Lol!

It's hardly surprising is it? In Jammy world videos, eyewitnesses and physical evidence of planes "proves" no planes either.

You might have a point if all we had was the RADES data, and nothing else. Based on that RADES track, it would indeed not be possible to determine if the plane crashed into the South Tower, or crashed somewhere else in the financial district. (It would however be sufficient to establish with great likelihood that indeed a plane crashed into Manhattan!).

What you conveniently disregarded is the matter of corroboration - we have the little issues of people seeing a plane crash into the South Tower, videos capturing the event, a plane-shaped hole in the wall, and parts of both plane and passengers strewn around mostly to the north, in the direction of the plane's momentum.

That's a whole lot of corroboration. Perhaps you are familiar with the concept of corroboration?

By the way, I already talked about corroboration earlier today, and pointed out that BCR's claims enjoy a lot of corroboration - your claim (that of a stealth plane) none:

Your stealth plane however is not corroborated by anything at all - not even the RADES data, which, strangely, shows no plane north of the ST after the object apparently (and, face it, jam, really) slammed into the tower.
Stealth planes, as has been pointed out several times already, are invisible (or nearly so) to radar - so RADED should not have picked up a good signal, but they are not invisible to human eyes and cameras. So it seems that your interpretation of the RADES data seems far-fetches and highly implausible.
...
Perhaps you'll share with us your - perhaps professional? - opinion on "corroboration" in the arena of using evidence to establish the veracity of claims? That would be swell! Thanks!

I'm sure he is, which would explain his little game of "divide and conquer" with respect to evidence.

Taken together, the available pieces of evidence point to an inescapable conclusion. If, however, he can split each piece of evidence off and show that it, alone, doesn't prove that planes impacted the towers, then he wins by erosion.

Of course, that puts him in the very uncomfortable position of having to conjure up fanciful technology to explain away the strongest individual pieces of evidence (like actual video of the actual planes actually impacting the towers).

Yes, but the fanciful technology has the advantage of not having any evidence to support it at all. Therefore there is nothing to split of and nitpick about. Which means it's more true.

So there!

I just proved that in no-planer world, no evidence is more proof than uncountable loads of evidence.

Shall we move on?

Greetings again, posters, lurkers and others,

I gather it is time to move on to other elements in this thread, unless there are those who would still like to discuss the radar element. I think it fair to say that radar has been lost as an element that supports the common storyline of 9/11.

If there are those who would like to rehabilitate the radar data, or hold onto it, then they can post away.

Basically, the RDHall video turns out to have been a very good catalyst into the intricacies of radar, with the result being that radar is unreliable proof of the common storyline as it relates to Flights 175 and 11, in that order.

Let me here say thank you to RDHall for the video. Splendid.

Some recent posts have raised the issue of other elements of the common storyline of 9/11, presumably to say that there are other ways of proving what happened. Well, it is my view that were we to go through any other aspect of the common storyline, an outcome similar, but perhaps not identical, to the radar outcome would occur.

Just by way of an offhand example, consider DNA. It is harder to get DNA evidence admitted than it is radar; and that for good reason. DNA proof is often unreliable because there is a high error rate brought on by a variety of factors, ranging from innocent technical mistakes, but mistakes nonetheless, to outright fraud.

I don't know that it's fair to call this approach "divide and conquer' as one poster did. Each aspect of the 9/11 story has to be considered on its own merit. It is improper to "buttress" the weaknesses of one piece of evidence or one issue by claiming it (the type or piece of evidence that is improper) is supported by another. And that for good reason. Buttressing of improper evidence produces error. True, one type of evidence can support another type; but, each type has to be independently valid to be worthy of consideration.

Blessings

I see, even though neither you nor RDHall have proven Radar as unreliable, especially in corroboration with other evidence, you are going to "Declare Victory" and run away to another topic. Is this Charlie Sheen "Winning", or George Bush "Victory"?

Wrong bucko. In this case, ONE radar data population cited as evidence of a second plane was discredited. That ONE radar data population did not have the capability (accuracy) to support such a hypothesis. You omit that ANOTHER radar data was also cited as evidence of a plane hitting the WTC. The SECOND did have the capability (accuracy) to make that determination. We added yet a THIRD radar data population with the same capability (accuracy) to make that determination. And, the ONE radar data population, although not capable, did agree with the determination of the SECOND and THIRD radar populations.

Quote:
"It is documented in the Federal Aviation Technical Instruction Manual (TI 6310.24) that the MSP ASR-9 radar provides a range accuracy of 1/32 Nautical Miles and the azimuth accuracy is within .088 degrees."
Both ASR's operated from a range of between 8 and 12 nautical miles from the impact zone. That means the worst case error was 0.018 nmi (112 feet). The footprint of the south tower was 208 feet square, and the complex even larger. So yeah, two of the radar data populations were capable of making that determination.

You are now just being a cry-baby because you had your behind handed to you in a basket.

Greetings, BCR,

Thank you for your quoted post. Perhaps it will result in consideration of other radar issues. I welcome that.

Permit me to suggest you take a look at post # 346. There, you will see an image containing blocks or portions numbered 6 and 7 respectively. Each were prepared by Daniel Bower. Do you know him?

In the one, he acknowledges the existence of radar error based on distance, etc. In the other he identifies the radar sources for the preparation of the flight path study that formed the basis for the path attributed to the NTSB. That is the second path, the one that corresponded to the video flight path of shadow thingy in the RDHall video.

If you'll take a look at block 7 in post # 346, you'll see that it includes radar inputs from RADES that you have shown, and others agreed with you, was erroneous to a faretheewell, as in bye-bye radar as evidence. Furthermore, by including data from multiple sources, not just RADES, the flight path that confirms shadow thingy is fraught with multiple errors, with each component of error having a different degree or magnitude of error. At first glance, that might sound helpful. It isn't. In my opinion, it simply means that trying to blend and harmonize various degrees of error causes an even less reliable outcome than if only one data set with one calculated rate of error were used.

Perhaps you disagreee? Perhaps you'll provide a formula for taking into consideration all the varying degrees of error involved and perhaps you'll come up with a calculation that the degree of error for the NTSB flight path is less than that of the RADES data?

If so, all I can say is:

...May the odds be evah in your favah...


The NTSB path used RADES data. Standing alone, that dooms that data as being unreliable.

Thanks again for your post.

Greetings, LSSBB,

Please don't mix apples and oranges. I have already addressed the "corroboration" issue by calling it by its right name "buttressing."

I have plainly said it is improper to buttress impermissible or unrelaible evidence with reliable evidence. You can use one type of evidence to support another. That is fine. But, each piece of evidence must be independently reliable to be considered.

What you proposed, on its face, as I read what you posted, was use of unreliable evidence in the hope it could be supported by another type of evidence.

If I have misunderstood you, please let me know.

Is this the part where you piss on victims jammy?

Another round of jammy's "I win!" game?

Honestly it's like playing a board game with a four year old. No matter the outcome, they win.

Why do you do this jammy? Why are you even here, what are you expecting to achieve exactly? Whatever it is ain't working!

I as well, am confused by this one. But that is my understanding of it.

I like the "solid facts", very applicable. Your point? I see much that Supports and Strengthens the common narrative that planes hit WTC1 and WTC2, piloted by terrorists. I see nothing that Supports and Strengthens any proposed alternative.

I didn't really read jammo's posts. But did I get this right? Is this really what he is arguing? And he wonders why people think he is crazy?
I'm just skimming over them and have reached the same conclusion.

On this point: I have seen this tactic used before. It is what the Holocaust deniers use to pick apart the historical account that Jews died in the Gas Chambers. They find one little thing to discredit every testimony, and then try to claim you can't find "One valid witness" to the mass murder machine of the Holocaust.
This is not a quest for historical accuracy, it's nitpicking, trying to narrow the argument down to one fact at a time, and cherry picking which ones at that. You know you can't win against the vast bulk of evidence against you, so you use what you think is your only alternative.
When are you going to get around to the real deal? When are you going to prove your alternate theory? You see, as it stands, its all the evidence stacked up for the common narrative, and no evidence for a DEW, no evidence for Holograms. That's the real scorecard here.

You mean Jamm is using a simple debate technique and not addressing the preponderance of evidence at all? I'm SHOCKED! God of the Gaps ROCKS!

What I expect you to do reminds me of what the Ford Motor Company did with the Pinto fuel tank lawsuit. Ford was sued because these fuel tanks would rupture and catch fire after a rear-end collision, which was something Ford had already knew. Ford could have solved this problem by placing a baffle inside the tank, but they weighed the cost of installing the baffle against the cost of a settlement. They decided it would be cheaper to settle.

Here's My point: Ford added meaningless drivel into their report in order to water down this smoking gun. Instead of the report saying "The fuel tank can and will rupture in a rear-end collision" , it became unrecognizable with all the meandering, meaningless drivel added to it.

This is what you, Jerry, compare with: Adding meaningless drivel to a report and then twisting & tweaking it around to slant the argument.
I can see right through your crap..Epic fail, son. Get over yourself.
