From takeoff of Flight 77 until its alleged impact at the "Pentagon the Boeing 757 was airborne for about one and a half hours. At normal speed it would have flown at least 700 miles in that time, taking into account the process of take-off, ascent to altitude and getting clearance for its course. At the point the airliner disappeared from radar and allegedly turned around toward Washington it had traveled only 220 miles. The return trip of 220 miles indicates that the airliner would have traveled a total of only 440 miles from takeoff to impact in the 1 hour and thirty minutes it was airborne. The average speed for Flight 77 that day, which should have been in excess of 500 miles per hour, was just 293 mph according to the official account. But the unpublicized fact is that the airliner could easily have traveled about 300 miles more in that time. And if it was not the craft that impacted at the Pentagon it could have done just that, which raises more questions."
American Airlines Flight 77The Key to the 9/11 Enigma?
if the queen had balls she would be king....the radar tracking to the point the transponder is shut off documents distance and speed....after that.....it is all guess work excpt that one could calculate it's last known posistion and the distance to the pentagon and calculate the speed....thus no guessing....
and your point....
Thank you! Now let's see if Fizz will call you a moron 124 times! That is what I've been trying to point out but Fizz has been going on and on about "radar records" he cannot produce.
The larger point is the CR makes conclusions based on a preconceived conclusion. It concluded the average speed of 77 was less than 300 mph. This is not based on positive evidence but only on the conclusion 77 hit the Pentagon.
Here's another aspect to consider. You're a hijacker flying a hijacked 757 commercial jet into the world's most tightly guarded airspace and you're doing this while you know other aircraft have been already hijacked. Are you going to cruise into that airspace at that slow speed and give the world's most awesome air defense systems that much more of a chance to shoot you down before you complete your mission? Would you put the pedal to the medal and get there as fast as possible?
The other aspect the link points out is in that same time frame 77 could have traveled an additional 300 miles. Anyone know what the distance is between DC and the Atlantic Ocean? Huffy was the one who made the ocean claim but after looking into the possibility of distance this link backs up his theory.
well as i said....there may be radar records of the jet during its entire flight.....
we do know it's last posistion and we do know where the pentagon is and we do know the distance between the two....simple math calculates the speed....
why is that so difficult for you to accept....
low and slow under the radar tends to avoid detection......seems to have worked....
