Good question! Unfortunately, we don't have the data to answer it. It's possible that the damage required needed to be precise (which would account for the physical damage) and the plane was merely flown NOC precisely because they wanted to avoid hitting light poles. It could also simply have been a mistake- we won't know until we have a new independent investigation.
You know what, I'm LOLing too hard about the first claim to wait.
Here's the deadly problem with your first attempt.
You claim that the conspirators wanted 'precise' damage. You didn't define what you meant by this, but I'm going to assume you meant that they wanted the South side path to be as 'realistic' as possible, i.e. wanted the physical evidence to replicate as close as possible what would happen if the plane had 'really' flew across the South path.
So, therefore, you allege, they flew the plane to the North in order to prevent...
Wait.
Hold on.
You're trying to make me buy this: The conspirators flew the plane away from the South side path because they didn't want it to cause damage across the South side path...but wouldn't this be the MOST PRECISE WAY of causing damage across the South?
Again, you wrote: "It's possible that the damage required needed to be precise (which would account for the physical damage) and the plane was merely flown NOC precisely because they wanted to
avoid hitting light poles." What you're saying here is that the conspirators didn't want to fly the plane on the South side on the off chance that it hit something on the South side, revealing that the plane was...flying on the South side? That it's easier to fly the plane on the North and create fake damage on the South rather than actually just flying the plane to the south and letting the plane make the damage?
Instead of flying the plane to the south and ACTUALLY knocking down the poles, the conspirators actually decided to fly it on the North path so as to not knock down light poles, and then go ahead and prefab light poles and make them look like the plane flew to the South? What?
Could you please explain in more depth what you meant by your statement?
