Hokus Pokus with Flight Data Recorder Data on Fllight 77

Flight Data Expert Confirmation: No Evidence Linking FDR Data to American 77
FDR Data Exceeds Capabilities Of A 757, Does Not Support Impact With Pentagon

(PilotsFor911Truth.org) - Flight Data Recorder Expert Dennis Cimino has confirmed that the data being provided through the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is missing crucial information, which according to Dennis, should be present and link the data to a specific aircraft and fleet. The NTSB provided three sets of data through the FOIA for what they claim is from American 77, N644AA. A csv file, an animation reconstruction and a raw data file. Rob Balsamo of Pilots For 9/11 Truth along with numerous other aviation experts, including trained Aircraft Accident Investigators have analyzed these files and determined they do not support an impact with the Pentagon. The data also exceeds the design limitations and capabilities of a standard 757 by a wide margin. This is based on data, precedent and numerous verified experts, including those who have actual flight time in the aircraft reportedly used for the 9/11 attacks (See - "Flight Of American 77", "9/11: Attack On The Pentagon" and "9/11: World Trade Center Attack" at Pilotsfor911Truth.org for full detailed analysis and interviews).

To put this long lasting conflict into perspective, some history as I observed it.

First, the current outburst stems from an article written by Warren Stutt, a computer programmer and Dr. Frank Legge, a chemist. See http://journalof911studies.com/volume/20...ter_92.pdf

In this article it is reported that Warren Stutt has managed to decode the raw FDR file that was released by the NTSB under FOIA. He also claims to have decoded additional data which were not decoded previously, covering the last seconds of the flight.
See http://www.warrenstutt.com/

I personally know that Warren Stutt tried to decode the FDR file for several years now and I tried to support him by providing documents detailing the envcoding of the file.

The issue with the last seconds of data is that the recorded checksum for these data is incorrect, which is the reason that the official ROSE decoding program ignores these data. An incorrect checksum can mean several things, it could be that the beginning destruction at the crash prevented correct checksum calculation or recording, but it could also mean that the recorded data have been manipulated or incorrectly recorded.

Of course the authenticity issues of the FDR data remain, and there are also issues with the recorded data, which are mentioned in the article at pilotsfor911truth, so the newly decoded data points do not prove positively that AA77 did hit the Pentagon.
