Creative Speculation
In reply to the discussion: Skygate 911 [View all]William Seger
(10,923 posts)You'll believe Marshall's description even after watching what Hanjour actually did (which is NOT in slow motion, btw; those are seconds ticking off), and you're actually proud of it? Nobody has to believe William Seger to compare for themselves Marshall's description to that animation, which is taken from the FDR data. As for why Hanjour made that slow, sloppy turn instead of diving straight in, an honest pilot would tell you: Because that really would take a lot of skill to do without overspeeding right past the target. He would have needed to "slip" the plane sideways to increase drag and still keep on course. Why does Rob not tell you that that is actually another sign that Hanjour was not an experienced pilot? Because that wouldn't sell videos, would it.
Your loyalty to your belief system is, um, impressive, but it doesn't have anything to do with reality. You and Rob are free to believe whatever you like, and I wouldn't care less except that what you post on a public forum, trying to get others to join your cult, is a different matter. The question some of us have is why we should believe it, which is a question that seems to make "truthers" apoplectic. Does it make you angry that I'm not as gullible as you?
