If they believe that FL77 crashed on the Ky/Oh border, then they're claiming that the radar, FDR, and all other pieces of data are faked. Not merely wrong, but openly faked. Yeah, good luck with that. Occam's Razor dictates that the person summarizing the information had simply compiled inaccurate reports that were made in the heat of the moment (and most likely done much earlier that afternoon). What time did NORAD stop getting reports of hijacked airliners again? The
Vanity Fair article noted that "
False reports of hijackings, and real responses, continue well into the afternoon, though civilian air-traffic controllers had managed to clear the skies of all commercial and private aircraft by just after 12 p.m.", meaning that they were still trying to straighten out the story well past the last crash. That's why After Action Reports exist: They're a chance to reflect and soberly consider the events outside of the stress of dealing with the events.
