Reply #173: For the third and last time,...

[quicknthedead]

yes, NIST does state in their main report "NIST NCSTAR 1-5" in section E.2
link: http://wtc.nist.gov/NISTNCSTAR1-5.pdf

that the time of impact into WTC2 for the second plane, UA Flt 175, was 9:02:59.

HOWEVER, on the face, they are blatantly disingenuous with the fact and with us.

You see, they tell us elsewhere in this "NIST NCSTAR 1-5" (you have to really search for it), that the basis for E.2 is found in their main report named "NIST NCSTAR 1-5A".


If you go to this main report, "NIST NCSTAR 1-5A"
link: http://wtc.nist.gov/NISTNCSTAR1-5A_chap_1-8.pdf

and go to (this E.3 is in their Executive Summary)
http://wtc.nist.gov/oct05NCSTAR1-5index.htm

you will learn that the actual time of impact is 9:02:54 (per NIST),
and that all of E.3 has to do with adjusted times for the time database they created (in order to study 9/11 in chronological order.
Read all of E.3 to understand (1.5 pages).

NOW, this 9:02:54 they used for actual impact time is in itself not correct. That's because it is LDEO's time of "impact", which can not be the impact because that didn't happen until 17 seconds later at 9:03:11 per the 9/11 Commission.

Please do not make further mention of this NIST time as I will not address it further. The acted deceptively. I.e., why didn't they mention in their main report, when they stated the time to be 9:02:59 (when the plane hit the Tower), that this was only an adjusted time and not the actual? Most people would not think twice and accept their word as true, as it appears you have done.

Of course, NIST did not even know that the "actual" time they used wasn't right.

The government--you gotta love 'em -- they have a tough job (I just wish they didn't give such an impression all time that they don't work very hard at it; but that's just my personal opinion).

This NIST side-adventure reminds one of the IRS...very similar.

Regarding the 9/11 Commission's Final Report stating the times to be 8:46:40 and 9:03:11, why shouldn't we believe them. Their process was arduous and definitive, and no one disbelieves these times.

Why don't YOU PROVE THEM WRONG instead of me proving the right.

Adios!
