Hey, Turbofan, what did Calum Douglas say when you approached him with your "at most 0.5 to 2 seconds missing" or "1600 feet" hypothesis? Did he laugh at you? Did you ever ask yourself why not? Do you laugh at his radar altitude analysis, showing the plane was about 5000 feet out at last recorded data? Why not?
I didn't laugh, and I haven't had any exchange with Calum. I saw his
video presentation, and it's very well laid out.
The last posted distance according to the beacon was ~ 1.5 nautical miles.
Considering the radio altitude which coincides with the corrected pressure
altitude, the plane was too high to hit the poles.
At the speed of the plane and distance to the Pentagon, there is no chance
the plane could dive down, hit the poles, level off and strike the wall.
What are your contentions with the NTSB file, or flight simulation?
