Ed Paik, he said 77 was near the tower, on the red path! Oops!
CiT cherry picking results in them using Paik's drawing which puts the plane over the Annex. However in the video of Paik he is supposedly standing where he was when he saw the plane. The Navy Annex is not visible and as you point out, he indicates a path along Columbia Pike and states the plane hit or nearly hit the VDOT tower in the background of that video.
the selection of the drawing by CiT then is quite disingenuous at best. Any true 'investigator' would realize that his description does not match that drawing and observe that he could not see the Annex from that location anyway.
Who drew the blue line? [/FONT][/COLOR]

Terry Morin said parallel to the outer edge of the Annex, this means not over the Annex, but next to the annex on a path that hits the lampposts. Reading Morin's statement proves the "official flight path" is true due to the fact the FDR confirms the heading, and true course.
If the blue line were correct then Morin would not have been able to even see the aircraft once it was halfway over the Annex. However Morin states that he could see the vertical stabilizer all the way to impact. He most certainly does not state that he lost sight of the aircraft as it went over the Annex.
Now we have both Morin and Paik who were basically at opposite ends of the aircraft's travel along Columbia Pike. If Paik's drawing is correct then Morin could not have seen the plane as it passed by him. Several other flight paths drawn by CiT, as per their interpretation of other witnesses, puts the aircraft on paths that neither Paik or Morin could have seen. The location of those witnesses however would enable them to see the plane while it was over Columbia Pike as long as it was a few feet higher than the Annex roofline. Therefore the so-called official flight path is consistent with Paik, Morin and the witnesses who put it closer to themselves than the Annex by mistake.
I find it interesting where in the picture above that Turcois is placed. In the CiT video Craig takes Robert to the north side of the canopy and Robert indicates that the palne was south of that location(points above the canopy). If Robert was at the indicated location and saw the aircraft to the south then he was seeing it along the 'official flight path' since he was under the canopy at the time. Only on Craig's leading does Robert change his story not once but at least twice, each time putting the aircraft further to the north and along a flight path that he could not have even seen from the indicated location.
Well that takes care of about half of the CiT alledged NoC witnesses.
Now for Boger. Could he see the roof of the Citgo station from his location well enough to know that the plane was directly over it or to the north or south slightly? It is not apparenet in anything that the CiT has produced. they did take pictures from the highway and from that location they could see both the heliport control building and the station but that proves nothing other than that the highway is a high point in between the two loactions. Given that they will not get permission to take photos from the heliport control building, they need to go to the east side of the station and take a photo from the level of the roof. If the heliport control building windows are in plain view from that location then, yes Boger could see the station. If they cannot afford a ladder or lift then the alternative is to go further up the hill and, using a level to keep the camera on a horizontal plane, find the location at which they can just see the roof of the station. If the heliport building is visible the Boger has a view of the station roofline.
