Flight 77 Black Box Data Shows Major Flaws in the Official Story
DATA DECODING SHOWS 911 TRUTH IS UNYEILDING!

After several weeks of tireless efforts by pilotsfor911truth.org there has been a startling and very important discovery involving Flight 77.
The painstaking task of processing official data has resulted in a full "decode" of what the NTSB (US National Transportation Safety Board) claim to be the complete raw data output from the Flight Data Recorder of Flight 77.
Pilotsfor911truth have managed to achieve something that only some airlines, the military and one of the very few specialists in crash investigation in the world could normally carry out.
The ‘raw data file’ given out under FOIA request is more or less worthless unless you have access to very specialist software costing upwards of $100,000 USD.
Normally, the chances of a member of the public being able to ever get this type of file decoded are about 10000/1.
But these aren’t normal circumstances and obviously they weren’t counting on the `1` this time…..were they?
This data however has again produced more questions than answers, for example the data recording STOPS over a mile and a half from the Pentagon.
Raw data has confirmed the accuracy of the NTSB animation that was acquired by a truth group member under a FOIA request from the NTSB last August. This information is incredibly useful as it categorically shows that the plane was nowhere near the 5 light poles that were reportedly ripped from the ground by Flight 77 – a claim that appears in the Official 9/11 Commission Report.
Another astonishing discovery is that the data also confirms that the last figure of altitude given was 273 feet above ground level. (The pentagon is 71 feet tall). This is from radio altitude so it’s accurate to within just several feet.
The VOR (A data entry figure that is used to determine the distance from an object, in this case a transmitter at the Airport near the Pentagon) gives a last distance of 1.5 miles from F77 to the transmitter. Combine this information with the last figure of given altitude and also with speed of the plane (530 mph) and simply something just doesn’t add up.
At the speed the plane was moving this puts Flight 77 2 seconds away from the face of the Pentagon. At that point the height was such that the plane could NOT have nosedived fast enough to have hit the face of the building where that hole was seen: the gravity forces at the acceleration required would buckle and simply cause an airframe to break up.
Analysis is ongoing (the spreadsheet of data is about 4 million cells of data long) but it does confirm that the flight path does NOT match up to the damage leading up to the Pentagon.
Interestingly the path DOES match up to eyewitness testimony, some of whom saw two planes and cemetery workers have reported that they saw a jet fly over the Pentagon at the time of the blast.
(Eyewitness interviews have been released in a film called the PentaCON.)
NTSB’s Jim Ritter - who signed off the Flight 77 study – was contacted by pilotsfor911truth.org but he refuses to make any comment.
An FBI team named ‘PentBOM’ (who commandeered jurisdiction of the F77 issue from the NTSB) were also contacted. However, they too cannot make comment as the PentBOM team has since been disbanded. How convenient.
All the audio from these conversations was also recorded.
Another piece of truly hard evidence makes its way into the public domain and with gritty efforts like this we really can show that 911 Truth is in this for the long haul – until a new full and independent investigation is forced.
Watch Calum Douglas present his investigation into the flight data recorder from Flight 77 to an audience at the Indian YMCA in Fitzroy Square, London on 8th June 2007.

Agreed. The Pentagon is a huge smoking gun that should
continue to receive much more attention from truthers.
C-130 Intercepted plane, then flew over the Pentagon
"some of whom saw two planes and cemetery workers have reported that they saw a jet fly over the Pentagon at the time of the blast."
Sorry to burst your bubble, but these people were describing the C-130, not the first plane. A C-130 flew over the Pentagon, and this was WIDELY witnessed by witnesses at the Pentagon. No one has ever come forward to claim that a large commercial plane flew over the Pentagon--Ever. Even the witnesses in the PentaCon, claimed that the plane HIT the Pentagon, and that it was flying VERY low.
Read what the Pilot said at Paul Thompson's timeline:

Witness at the Cemetery
Lapic ventured to Arlington National Cemetery to interview a groundskeeper who watched in horror as the plane crashed into the Pentagon. The worker, William Middleton Sr., was running his street sweeper through the cemetery when he heard a harsh whistling sound overhead. Middleton looked up and spotted a commercial jet whose pilot seemed to be fighting with his own craft. Middleton said the plane was no higher than the tops of telephone poles as it lurched toward the Pentagon. The jet accelerated in the final few hundred yards before it tore into the building. “My sweeper has three wheels. I almost tipped it over as I watched”...
Witnesses described a second plane, a C-130 following the plane that hit the Pentagon
“Reagan Airport flight control instructs a military C-130 (Golfer 06) that has just departed Andrews Air Force Base to intercept Flight 77 and identify it.” [New York Times, 10/16/2001; Guardian, 10/17/2001]
1. “I witnessed a military cargo plane (Possibly a C-130) fly over the crash site and circle the mushroom cloud. My brother in-law also witnessed the same plane following the jet while he was on the HOV lanes in Springfield. He said that he saw a jetliner flying low over the tree tops near Seminary RD in Springfield, VA. and soon afterwards a military plane was seen flying right behind it… I personally believe that the government new full well that this was about to happen and they are hiding something a lot bigger than they are willing to let out.”[615]
2. “We saw an odd sight that no one else has yet commented on. Directly in back of the plume, which would place it almost due west from our office, a four-engine propeller plane, which Ray later said resembled a C-130, started a steep decent towards the Pentagon. It was coming from an odd direction (planes don’t go east-west in the area), and it was descending at a much steeper angle than most aircraft. Trailing a thin, diffuse black trail from its engines, the plane reached the Pentagon at a low altitude and made a sharp left turn, passing just north of the plume, and headed straight for the White House. All the while, I was sort of talking at it: “Who the hell are you? Where are you going? You’re not headed for downtown!” Ray and Verle watched it with me, and I was convinced it was another attack. But right over the tidal basin, at an altitude of less than 1000 feet, it made another sharp left turn to the north and climbed rapidly. Soon it was gone, leaving only the thin black trail.”[616]
3. “A C-130 cargo plane had departed Andrews Air Force Base en route to Minnesota that morning and reported seeing an airliner… Air-traffic control officials instructed the propeller-powered cargo plane ‘to let us know where it’s going,’ McClellan said. But, he said, there was no attempt to intercept the hijacked airliner. “A C-130 obviously goes slower than a jet,” McClellan said. “There was no way he was going to intercept anything.” The C-130 pilot “followed the aircraft and reported it was heading into the Pentagon,” he said. “He saw it crash into the building. He saw the fireball.”[617]
4. “I hopped out of my car after the jet exploded, nearly oblivious to a second jet hovering in the skies.”[618]
5. “When I got out of the car I saw another plane flying over my head, and it scared …me, because I knew there had been two planes that hit the World Trade Center. And I started jogging up the ramp to get as far away as possible. Then the plane—it looked like a C-130 cargo plane—started turning away from the Pentagon, it did a complete turnaround.”[619]
6. “He stopped his car to watch and saw another plane following and turn off after the first craft’s impact.”[620]
7. “Soon afterwards a military plane was seen flying right behind it.”[621]
8. “Within a minute another plane started veering up and to the side. At that point it wasn’t clear if that plane was trying to maneuver out of the air space or if that plane was coming round for another hit.”[622]
9. “Then a gray C-130 flew overhead, setting off a new round of panic. I tried to reassure people that the plane was not a threat. All around me people began to panic, fleeing for their lives.”[623]
10. “Both of them, as well as at least one other person at the funeral, insist that there was another plane flying near the hijacked jet… Wheelhouse said the second plane looked like it may have been a C- 130 transport plane, but the other three witnesses say they’re not sure what the plane looked like… Wheelhouse believes it flew directly above the American Airlines jet, as if to prevent two planes from appearing on radar while at the same time guiding the jet toward the Pentagon. As Flight 77 descends toward the Pentagon, the second plane veers off west.”[624]
11. “The only large fixed wing aircraft to appear was a gray C-130, which appeared to be a Navy electronic warfare aircraft, he seemed to survey the area and depart in on a westerly heading.”[625]
Notice that in many cases, witnesses are describing TWO planes, and they are clear that it is the C-130, not the first plane that flies over the Pentagon.
If there was a witness who could confirm that a large commercial airliner flew over the Pentagon, please point me to him/her.
“We're an empire now, and when we act we create our own reality."
Blech

The many dozens of eyewitnesses who say otherwise don't count. Only those who support the latest idea that a AA77 didn't hit there count. Wow, now that's science!
