You should be able to take a screen shot of it Tony and then upload that here... if that doesnt work, would you mind posting a link directly to the picture you're referring to so that we know we're all on the same page?
You can't copy images from the NIST report as it is locked. It is available on the web.
A judge did allow it. http://www.vaed.uscourts.gov/notablecases/moussaoui/exhibits/prosecution/WT00001.htmlNo judge would allow it as evidence as it has no bonifides.
Fair enough. I think even if you attempted to model the spread of contents you'd find it fairly random in terms of individual items. ie where one particular item would end up in the debris cloud(s).I think an important thing to recognize here is the the primary moving force of the debris cloud was not forward inertia. It was air movement. It was also not movement in straight lines.
If the cockpit is ripped open as it enters the building, then the contents become part of the debris cloud. They would have been carried by the (admittedly rather violent) air movements, and could have ended up pretty much anywhere.
Much like the contents of flight 93. Plane ends up buried underground, bits of paper found miles away.

Here's an interesting picture from that document showing damage to the southern wall of WTC1.

I'm with you there. Light stuff could go flying, whereas bodies tended to stay there and get pulverized along with the office furniture. Grisly stuff.Almost entirely random for the lighter items. You've got things like an engine shaft that simply keep going - but things like paper, or passports will just go where the air goes - which as anyone who has modeled fluid motion, or tried to shoot a rapid, will know is pretty unpredictable.
The passport would still need to get through the south wall with a southward momentum and it is extremely unlikely that would have happened as there was no damage to it from the aircraft impact.I'm with you there.

I believe I said there was little to no damage of the south wall of WTC 1. Yes, a piece of landing gear apparently went through the south wall of WTC 1 and there was a small hole in it. So it isn't a 100% impossible for the passport to get through the wall, just very remote. However, when coupled with the other unlikely issues ofClearly damage from the impact did penetrate the southern wall, for example, the landing gear that ended up at 51 Park Place? Is that not correct?
Why did you not answer my question from post #336 #343 #346

Yes this shows smoke, debris? maybe and what is that side? The plaza, now i freely admit, that the passport could be blown there but, NOT if it is in the cockpit or seat area, the reason being, that the speed of entry, to turn it to the side requires force acting from the side debris or impact or the fireball, there can be no fireball before there is one. The passport in a bag or pocket or anything is still moving forwards at 200 m/s this puts it ahead of the fuel tanks by speed and position. That you may dispute but that we know is FACT.Is this not an image of a fireball exiting the south side of the building?

Why not?
To the corner of wtc 4 in the plaza and onto its roof at farthestView attachment 5334
How much debris can be seen drifting south of WTC1 in this picture? How far would it drift before reaching ground level? Just give me a best guess.

Then, IF the passport defies any mathematical rules to go out the side... The sensible location would be on the path where known aircraft debris landed, which was over wtc 3 and onwards.
They wouldn't need it for court. The prosecutor would use the passenger manifest. Simple.
No correct yourself, debris did not get ejected backward, it fell from the tower and plane.Like I said on the first page of this thread, debris was ejected backwards, to the sides, and passed right through the building.
If there is a mathematical model that can depict the "sensible location" of where a passport being ejected at 100mph from 95 floors up is to be found, you have yet to show it here.
No correct yourself, debris did not get ejected backward, it fell from the tower and plane.
You imply backwards momentum against forwards momentum. Where did this backwards force come from?
They would never be going to court. They are dead, therefore it is used as implied links to a terror group. Did you fail to read the 9/11 report Susan Ginsberg- She details how the recovered passports all bore evidence of false stamps. The fbi examination detected NO forgery and nor did anyone else during their actual use. This was she told the commission, because these indicators were discovered only recently. And that meant no one would ever know they were forgeries. They knew because, the forgeries were specific to Al Qaeda, a way in which ONLY Al Qaeda uses. Now lets examine that claim.
How can they be linked to Al Qaeda only forgeries-NOT by comparison to each other, this confirms only the link to each other. Therefore it requires passports used by 100% known Al Qaeda persons. That provides a tenuous link, but to rule out an outside forger it needs other forgeries from other forgers. This then narrows down probability to anyone else but can only be a high chance not a certainty. So what it needs is that the actual forger be located and be proven to be linked to Al Qaeda or for other terrorists caught, to admit they use a forger and only one.
Now given the report states they are identifiable as ONLY Al Qaeda the above which i mentioned is not a mystery and can be explained but is not, she dodges that bullet by saying, "to avoid getting into classified detail" There IS no classified detail in admitting that specific inks were found and used by a certain person and persons proven to be Al Qaeda had them on their passports too.
The reality being that ALL of them having these forgeries endangered a mission that required NO forgeries. The only function the forgeries serve is.
1) Validates the places the named persons have been, which, if the persons holding the passports have NOT been, then they are not the holders of the passports
2) They clearly prove that the hijackers were Al Qaeda
There is no other use for the forgeries
So either they were stolen identities, an idea given credence by the FBI themselves, and therefore there is a reason to steal identities which is to get in the country, but also means they have had to have been known as terrorists by their visual features which means they were previously known, or they all had surgery
Without these passports at that time there was ZERO proof that it was Al Qaeda except accusations and the never revealed proof that the Bush team said they had. All the proof up to then was names of Middle Eastern origin, which does not prove a link to Al Qaeda, if the FBI or anyone could make the Al Qaeda link before any physical evidence, then they knew who they were already.
Ergo the passports are a critical identifier
I believe I said there was little to no damage of the south wall of WTC 1. Yes, a piece of landing gear apparently went through the south wall of WTC 1 and there was a small hole in it. So it isn't a 100% impossible for the passport to get through the wall, just very remote. However, when coupled with the other unlikely issues of
- an anonymous finder
- no location given for where it was found
- the finder picking a plain clothes detective out of a crowd
it becomes so remote as to be impossible and unbelievable. It is much more likely to have been an attempt at planting evidence and I am sure a court would not allow it as evidence since it has no bonafides.
There is actually no evidence that the passport was anything more than an attempt to plant evidence.

So according to this report, which is as credible as any other you might cite, the detective was conducting police business by talking to people. You cannot pretend the guy who picked the passport up would not have been able to identify him as a cop. That's not supported by any evidence. The cop may have even been identifying himself, you can't say he wasn't.External Quote:' trying to talk to people as they were coming out to the buildings. And it was handed him [but] by the time he looked up again, the guy who had handed it to him [had] run off, you know, which made sense'
Completely true. Weirdly we accept all the evidence, while he's mightily resisting it. It's not hard to understand these events if you open your eyes.There is no evidence to support your claim at all.
It is the pedigree of the passport which has no credibility and yes it also has a problem getting out of the building based on analysis.
Er are you SURE the street these images were both taken from? not the same street, and look in pic 1 a green document maybe that is the passport there, but examining the area no one stops and collects it then. But they should because it is passport sized it is green they must have picked it up. Oh wait you mean that the person who picked it up could clearly read PASSPORT stamped on it and had picked up only that not anything else that LOOKED LIKE a passportTony, you're engaging in a strawman argument. First, you are pretending that there was only a 'small hole' in WTC 1 South face, without giving any scale. You don't want the passport to get out that way, yet this picture on Albany St shows a lot of small debris, papers and of course a flight 11 seat cushion.
So your argument fails immediately just based on this.

This image below also shows large amounts of small debris scattered about. Clearly your theory is falsified by the direct evidence.

As far as your denial of the person being able to identify the detective, again this is a strawman. You don't know what the detective was doing at the time. I have found one reference from FBI agent Dan Coleman that the detective wasSo according to this report, which is as credible as any other you might cite, the detective was conducting police business by talking to people. You cannot pretend the guy who picked the passport up would not have been able to identify him as a cop. That's not supported by any evidence.

And it was handed him [but] by the time he looked up again, the guy who had handed it to him [had] run off, you know, which made sense'
Further, when he says 'run off' does he mean it in the literal sense or commonly 'to leave suddenly'. And does it matter either way?
I'm still somewhat shocked you're attempting to deny such basic evidence, if you're looking for answers. Frankly your credibility is nearing zero on this subject, as you've repeatedly mistated or misrepresented the facts and failed to acknowledge your errors and exaggerations. But it tells me a great deal about your failure to deal with this subject.
Yes Mick can you say which precinct he definitely was from? Coleman says one thing the report another, which one, NYPD don't even list the guyIt has a perfectly fine credibility. It was handed to a cop (Yuk H. Chin). Found objects are handed to cops all the time. The cop then in the first step in the chain of custody.

Sorry . . . that is not a legally valid chain of custody . . . we cannot validate that the passport was from the street or even was originally from the man who allegedly gave it to the policeman . . . was the evidence sealed in a container and protected from tampering by the policeman on receipt? Was the sealed evidence then identified, inventoried, logged into a tracking system and secured from tampering and alteration . . . ????It has a perfectly fine credibility.

Landru-
The supposition that the fireball could push items is true, i did not deny this, what you need to consider though is the speed of the passport and location. You will have it anywhere between the tail and the windscreen. I will "guess" that it would be in a bag in the cabin above his seat, in his jacket on his seat, or, in the cockpit. There is no reason for it to not be one of these places. The burden of proof of anything else falls on you-No one, on a plane not even half full, puts their baggage in a class they are not sitting in. No one takes their passport to the rear to leave it there, unless it is with them. Also you forget something, the side ejections are in a region that is aligned with the core so what you are saying is that the passport turned a corner and turned again?
I would assert, the pressure burst a few windows, and heavier debris smashed through, i would not assert the passport a light object even in a bag, being in the cockpit could bust through the core turn sideways wait for the fire ball that blew mostly through, to blow the passport sideways through another wall.
If it was in his seat area, then if the corner of the core was destroyed, it could go diagonally out the gap, but on that lovely image you have their, they have shown dispersal not destruction, but assume this is so. It is still caught in the fire. It is STILL ahead of the fuel, if bagged it cannot be soaked. And when it does come out, it ends up in the plaza. The plaza which is deserted before the collapse and yet this means someone carries it for sometime, yet you fail to answer this.
Then you assume that a detective put a jacket on despite having only just arrived. Maybe he did maybe didn't. I intend to try to find out.
As far as the Moussauoi trial, i was not aware it had been used there but if the passport was used, then it is critically important so wipes out any claim it was not needed to prove anything as obviously it was. But it was not for that reason it was ever used previously it was not used as evidence against anyone before, only after it's conclusive link to A/Q was insinuated. It served simply as justification of accusation so after invasion Of Afghanistan, when people looked at the 9/11 report it was nicely there.
But that depends on the point of view. People said it was not proof of anything and irrelevant and now all of a sudden you say it WAS proof of something and used in a trial.
Oh and fyi do remember photographic id WAS required to board flights you never could just mosey on up grab a ticket and get on with none. The id that most people have is drivers licence and passport so id is very much needed and whilst people recalled things like talking to them during visa applications months ago, and bags packed despite thousands passing them by since, they cannot and never have said, they checked in with a saudi driving licence.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport_security_repercussions_due_to_the_September_11_attacksPost 9/11, all passengers 18 years or older must now have valid, government-issued identification in order to fly.
And it was found valid enough by a court of law to admitted as evidence. http://www.vaed.uscourts.gov/notablecases/moussaoui/exhibits/prosecution/WT00001.htmlAll chains of custody start somewhere. So it's valid (in terms of possession) back to that point.
If it were found by President Bush on live TV lying on the street, the argument would simply shift to it being planted there.
