187. The final banking maneuver...

...of the second plane doesn't look like something following a radio beacon. It looks like he could have missed.

I've tried hitting the towers a bunch of times using MS Flight Simulator (before they got rid of the towers), using comparable planes and paths, and it's not as easy as you might think.

Pre-positioning something at a place where you are going to crash and airplane, and then expecting it to work, is quite an act of faith.


1) the pulverization of the concrete so that it coated the streets four inches deep


...except for the stuff that wasn't pulverized and ended up "in the footprint" of the building. You can't have it both ways, but in a controlled demolition, the goal is usually to chop the building up into chunks were it stands, and then let the chunks fall down. Why would a CD result in pulverization any more than a collapse would?
