We see that the killer jet did not
hit the ground before striking the
building -- the white missile
plume smoke in the first frame,
the level trail of smoke still
visible in the second frame all are
at an even level above the
ground. (Notice too the insert of
an
air-to-ground missile being fired by the F-16 in the tiny
picture
I have added
below. It is the same plume of smoke.
Look at
the smoke plume here in frame one of the DoD security camera
video.
Clearly jet
and missile are it is
above the ground and have been for some
distance
previous -- between 5 and 10 feet.
Presumably, the witnesses who saw this
smoke
interpreted it as smoke
from a crash
on the lawn -- but that of course requires another story to
explain away
bad fit of the first error of perception, so, since the plane
next
crash-entered the building then there must have been a bounce
too,
after hitting on the grass!! (No mention of giant cabal
spools in the way
though, please notice.)
But no one
who watched the Boeing reported a bounce. In all that long list
of
witnesses, not one remarked on a bounce -- not even Timmerman,
if you
re-read him.
Timmerman: ...being next to
National Airport, I hear jets all the time, but this jet engine
was way too loud. I looked out to the southwest, and it came
right down 395, right over Colombia Pike, and as it went by the
Sheraton Hotel, the pilot added power to the engines. I heard it
pull up a little bit more, and then I lost it behind a
building. And then it came out, and I saw it hit right in
front of -- it didn't appear to crash into the building ...
But those who were nearest the
Boeing said it was silent (e.g. Riskus)!!! The Boeing was
coasting in silently -- to be sufficiently slow when it reached
the airport. BUT THE F-16 "KILLER JET" WAS THE INTELLIGENT
AIRCRAFT, THE AIRCRAFT THAT ADJUSTED ITS SPEED TO MAKE THE
OPERATION COME OFF, TO MAKE SURE THAT THE MISSILE EXPLOSION AND
CRASH OCCURRED JUST AS FLIGHT 77 FLEW OVER THE TARGET POINT AT
THE WEST WALL. MANY REPORT FROM THE SOUND THAT A JET WAS
ADDING POWER IN ITS APPROACH -- THAT, THEN, WAS THE KILLER JET
SPEEDING UP TO MEET ITS SCHEDULED RENDEZVOUS 90 FEET BELOW
FLIGHT 77 AS THE AIRLINER FLEW OVER THE WALL.
Finally, on the matter of whether
or not there was a "gouge". There definitely was not, as you
can see. Any gouges that may have been photographed later were
probably made by the wheels of fire trucks in the wet lawn.
(And of course the French are suggesting that the sand was put
down to cover the "gougeless" lawn.)
There was no gouge and bounce.
The giant spools in the way, the video shot of the low and
perfectly level approach make that abundantly clear. The story
is disproven.
