Reply #189: 2 Trajectories.

[seatnineb]

What we seem to have are conflicting testimonies regarding flight 77's approach and descent towards the Pentagon.

Ken Ford says:
The plane was a two-engine turbo prop that FLEW UP the river from National. Then it turnedback toward the Pentagon.

Scot Cook corroborates what Ken Ford says(in terms of the trajectory):
It was a 757 out of Dulles, which had COME UP the river in back of our building, turned sharply over the Capitol, ran past the White House and the Washington Monument, up the river to Rosslyn, then dropped to treetop level and ran down Washington Boulevard to the Pentagon (...)

The only difference between these 2 testimonies being that:
Ken Ford said it was Turbo-prop plane.
Scot Cook(who never saw the plane himself) says it was a 757.


Now according to the 9/11 commision report............
American 77 was then 5 miles west-southwest of the Pentagon and began a 330 degree turn .At the end of the turn ,it was descending through 2,200 feet,pointed straight towards the Pentagon and downtown Washington
9/11 commision report.
Page 9.


According to this trajectory....flight 77 NEVER FLEW THE UP THE RIVER FROM NATIONAL!.

A 330 degree turn to the right when flight 77 was already in a south-westerly position(relative to the Pentagon) would actually take the plane south, EVEN FURTHER DOWN the river ,not up towards the Capitol.....

Conclusion.

2 Different planes flying 2 completely different trajectories......

Yet both are supposed to be one in the same?
