question about a "tilted" engine
Advertisements [?]
A strange thing with the plane that hit the WTC2, is that it seems like the two engines are not "in line". It seems as if the left engine is not in line with the rest of the plane. As if it is tilted a bit forwards.

Have a look at pic number four and six on this site, to see what I mean : http://wtc1.batcave.net/2.html ( I don´t agree with what the comment to pic 6 is implying.)


Here is a theory why the engine is "tilted":
"Rose also brings up an interesting point: the stills of Flight 175 also show that left engine has been somehow interfered with. The turbines should be parallel to one another and attached to the wings, below we see the left engine at a slight angle to the right turbine, and looking as if it was about to come away from the wing. According to Rose this would be necessary to counterbalance the large "bump" attached just to the right of the centre of the fuselage and to compensate for the resulting aerodynamic drag."

Does anyone know enough physics / avionics(?) to say if this makes sense?

( To view the large "bump" in question, see : http://www.amics21.com/911/flight175/third.html )
