Flight 77 Cockpit Door Never Opened During 9/11 “Hijack"
By Sheila Casey / Rock Creek Free Press
Pilots for 9/11 Truth has reported that the data stream from the flight data recorder (FDR) for American Airlines flight 77, which allegedly struck the Pentagon on 9/11, shows that the cockpit door never opened during the entire 90 minute flight. The data was provided by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which has refused to comment.
The FDR is one of two “black boxes” in every commercial airliner, which are used after accidents to help determine the cause of a crash. One black box records flight data, the other records voice data (everything said in the cockpit during the flight). With those two sets of data, NTSB investigators can usually piece together the events that led to a crash. The status of the door to the cockpit is checked every four seconds throughout a flight and relayed as a simple 0 or 1, where 0=closed and 1=open, with approximately 1,300 door status checks performed during AA77’s 90 minute flight. Every one of those door status checks shows as a 0, indicating that the door to the cockpit never opened during the entire flight.
Accident investigators monitor the cockpit door with the FDR because it may yield clues to pilot error in a crash. The FDR begins recording once the pilots are in their seats and readying for takeoff, and the plane cannot take off unless the FDR is working.
The official story about flight 77 is that five Muslim terrorists brandishing box cutters forced their way into the cockpit and herded two pilots, four flight attendants and all the passengers to the back of the plane. This story came into being via Ted Olson, US Solicitor General, who told CNN — that he received two phone calls from his wife Barbara Olson, a passenger on the doomed flight. Ted Olson’s story changed several times. Sometimes he claimed that the calls from his wife were made from seat back phones, other times that she used her cell phone.
According to American Airlines customer service, the American Airlines maintenance manual for that aircraft, and American Airlines Captain Ralph Kolstad, seatback phones on 757s had been deactivated prior to 9/11/01. (They were later removed entirely, as they never worked well.)
Barbara Olson couldn’t have used a cell phone either: numerous 9/11 researchers, most notably David Ray Griffin, have pointed out that cell phones did not work on airplanes on 9/11. The speed and altitude of a commercial airliner both present overwhelming obstacles to a cell phone’s need to lock onto a cell tower and then hand off to another tower in a new location.
It was the FBI that revealed the evidence that decisively disproves Ted Olson’s story. In the Zacarias Moussaoui trial in 2006, the FBI presented a report on the cell phone calls from all four 9/11 flights. Their report on AA77 shows that there was only one phone call from Barbara Olson, but that it was an unconnected call lasting zero seconds. So Ted Olson either lied about receiving calls from his wife or was deceived into believing he received calls from her.
According to the UK Telegraph, Barbara Olson delayed her flight on 9/11 so that she could have breakfast with her husband on his birthday. That delay put her on the doomed flight. Ted Olson remarried in 2006 to tax attorney Lady Booth, whom he reportedly met the year after Barbara died.
There are numerous oddities and contradictions about AA77’s black boxes.
The government claims that the voice data recorder was damaged during the crash and that no usable data was retrieved from it. If true, this would be the first time in aviation history that a solid-state data recorder was destroyed during a crash.
While it was widely reported in the media that the FDR for AA77 was found at 4 am on September 14, 2001, the file containing the FDR data was dated over four hours earlier. In other words, we are asked to believe that the data from the FDR was downloaded prior to the FDR being found.
Researcher Aidan Monagahan has established that the NTSB does not have either serial or part numbers for the FDRs from AA77. The NTSB’s own handbook indicates that the part number and serial number of the FDR are required for data readout of the FDR. The NTSB did not have this information, giving us another reason to question how the FDR data was created.
Structural engineer Allyn Kilsheimer claimed that he personally found AA77’s black box on 9/11. But in the Popular Mechanics book Debunking 9/11 Myths, Kilsheimer is quoted as saying, “I stood on a pile of debris that we later found contained the black box 70;”
Kilsheimer’s story changes again in August 2007 in a piece done by the History Channel, “The 9/11 Conspiracies,” where he claims “I tripped over something; it was the black box.”
In earlier work, Pilots for 9/11 Truth (P4T) has determined that the same data set provided by the NTSB shows the plane too high to hit the Pentagon, based on an altimeter that uses air pressure to calibrate altitude.
As reported in the April 2009 Rock Creek Free Press, Citizen Investigation Team, citizen journalists from southern California, has collected evidence from 14 eyewitnesses that shows that the plane seen that morning near the Pentagon did not hit the building, but flew over it at the moment explosives detonated in the Pentagon, leading observers to conclude that the plane had crashed into the Pentagon.
Questions about what happened at the Pentagon have intrigued 9/11 researchers for years, beginning with photos from the alleged crash scene which do not show the wreckage of a plane.
This new evidence, showing that the cockpit door never opened during flight, is another nail in the coffin of the official story about flight 77. Clearly, if the cockpit door never opened, then hijackers did not storm the cockpit and herd the pilots to the back of the plane. The data, which originated from the government, does not support the government’s story.
Why would the government release data which contradicts its own version of events? It is possible they were just sloppy, or that they never anticipated that anyone would parse the data as carefully as Pilots for 9/11 Truth have. They may have also felt secure, that regardless of what damning revelations were contained in the FDR data, no mainstream media outlet would give them ink or air time, keeping the official story intact for the vast majority of Americans who receive their news from mainstream sources.
Rob Balsamo, founder of Pilots for 9/11 Truth, stated: “We have not located any independently verified data which confirms the government’s story. The FBI and NTSB refuse to comment.” Founded in August 2006, Pilots For 9/11 Truth is an organization of aviation professionals from around the globe who are investigating the government’s claims about the attacks of 9/11.

Very interesting, GreyLmist. I'm not believing in any coincidences, so I'm with you on this name analysis. : )

Exactly, this is why we commonly find that the ground is in perfect shape near and around plane crashes, which contradicts that eight miles of wreckage at the other site. These pilots were SO astounding that they could manouver a 757 like a Porshe, turning it on a dime, ignoring the G Force. Astounding. This "ground effect" lures the question of why there ever is ANY plane crashes, other than the ones that impact into objects like buildings, because the plane could just keep on flying in this "ground effect" for miles and miiles until it runs out of gas and gently touches down.

Where are the documented detailed plans, charts, blueprints, calculations, white papers, change documentation, BOMs, cost estimates, scheduling, notes of design reviews, ECR,ECOs and quality test data stored? And don't forget engineering and government sign off documentation. Hey pal ..... you lose. Have a ball.

You lose. Actually, way up the post, I recall FormerLurker saying the collapse was near zero seconds. You are correct when considering the ratio of 15/0 ... I would call it infinite, myself. edit: Explain how it took virtually 0 seconds to break every floor truss and smash every external and internal column of both WTC towers.

Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. I haven't lost anything. You know better than the $#it you're posting unless you are a complete imbecile. You have to know that all those plans and drawings were not thrown away and that the people who planned it and designed it would have copies of the plans. And if they are already dead their heirs would have copies of all of that.

Once the upper support structure lost stability, the upper floors collapsed straight down. It took no external explosives at all or controlled demolition as you call it. So show in any photograph or video that the towers were brought down by intentionally placed explosives. You can't other than what "appears" as debis or previously pulverized mass from the upper floors cascading the effect upon the lower floors.

A better method would be to delay the explosions slightly in order to avoid that problem. Oh, this is getting so rich. If the facts are said to match the model, then it's a conspiracy, and if the facts don't match the model, it's still a conspiracy but one in which "they" don't want a too-obvious match with the model. Woo hoo!!

The plane impacts didn't cause the towers to fall. The fires didn't either. As you have been told (repeatedly) the buildings were designed to withstand the impact of a plane collision and the subsequent fires. The engineers would have had to take that into account since the Empire State Building had been hit by a plane some years earlier and well before construction ever began on the WTC towers (the crash into the Empire State Building happened in 1945 and it was hit by a B-25--and it had fuel too and the building caught on fire BUT it didn't collapse!).

It's not that hard once you see there's absolutely no merit to the CT arguments and the people pushing them really, truly are laboring under delusions caused by emotional factors. Unlike "scholars" and "truthers" I don't pretend to be a physicist because real world physics is a complex system demanding full discipline and focus. However after outlining mechanics and vectors involved with absorbing impact energy, and also with providing a base for rotating and falling objects, there's no other conclusion than the 2 are mutually exclusive.

Your issue is silly. And as for the fires, not a full payload of fuel, another silly issue you bring up. Are you saying that the planes that hit the towers (1 and 2) were full of fuel? More of your bs. A full tank was not necessary for the scheduled flights and they don't fill them up unnecessarily. More fuel carried, fewer paying passengers. And you are not arguing with me about the design of the buildings but the engineers. Get it through your skull if you can, those buildings did not fall because of the planes hitting them--none hit WTC7--and no other steel-framed skyscraper has EVER fallen because of fire though many have burned longer and hotter. No steel framed high-rise building has ever collapsed due to fire - due to the high temperatures that would be required to weaken structural steel past it's critical safety margin - even though very large, very hot, and very long-lasting fires have ravaged many steel-structure high-rise buildings. These buildings are all in use today: • Caracas, Venezuela, Oct, 2004, 56 story building, burned for 17 hours over 26 floors Liberty is not a means to a higher political end.

You post crap. Lots of it. But the evidence is on the thread for anyone who wants to look at it. Fact: The buildings were designed to withstand the impact of a commercial jetliner and at even greater speeds. Fact: No other steel-framed skyscraper(s) before or since 9/11 have fell into their own footprints due to fire. In fact, many that have burned longer and hotter are still around today and still being used.

A full tank was not necessary for the scheduled flights and they don't fill them up unnecessarily. More fuel carried, fewer paying passengers. You're full of $#it! Full tanks were NOT necessary. How many million gallons of kerosene do you think it takes to fly even across country? Not even the official story/fairy tale claimed they hit with anything like full loads of fuel. The fuel capacity of a Boeing 767 is 23,980 gallons. The 767s used on September 11th were estimated to be carrying about 10,000 gallons of fuel each at the time of impact, only about 40% of the capacity of a 707. Not full there buck. Not even half full. And most of the fuel in the plane that hit last burned up outside in the big fireball.

As you have been told (repeatedly) the buildings were designed to withstand the impact of a plane collision and the subsequent fires.

Fine company you're keeping there, buck.

You took a rather bold approach to provide a factual explanation towards the collapse..... and you withstood the onslaught of piles of posts that attempted to rile you up.
One of the major consequences of the 9/11 movement has been to draw enormous amounts of energy and effort away from activism directed to real and ongoing crimes of state, and their institutional background, crimes that are far more serious than blowing up the WTC would be, if there were any credibility to that thesis. That is, I suspect, why the 9/11 movement is treated far more tolerantly by centers of power than is the norm for serious critical and activist work....Noam Chomsky

Still waiting for you to post information concerning the data fields recorded on Flight 77's data recorder. Show us the FAA specifications for which data fields are collected, and tie that to the rulings on required upgrades.
Status: - (No safety board investigation) Date: 11 SEP 2001 Time: 09:40 EDT Type: Boeing 757-223 Operator: American Airlines Registration: N644AA C/n / msn: 24602/365 First flight: 1991 Total airframe hrs: 33432 Cycles: 11789 Engines: 2 Rolls Royce RB211-535E4-B Crew: Fatalities: 6 / Occupants: 6 Passengers: Fatalities: 58 / Occupants: 58 Total: Fatalities: 64 / Occupants: 64 Ground casualties: Fatalities: 125 Airplane damage: Written off Airplane fate: Written off (damaged beyond repair) Location: Washington, DC (United States of America) show on map Phase: En route (ENR) Nature: Domestic Scheduled Passenger Departure airport: Washington-Dulles International Airport, DC (IAD/KIAD), United States of America Destination airport: Los Angeles International Airport, CA (LAX/KLAX), United States of America Flightnumber: 77 Narrative: Flight 77 departed Washington-Dulles at 08:10 for Los Angeles. The aircraft was hijacked by five terrorists. The hijackers took over control, reportedly switched off the transponder and changed course to Washington. Last reported data (08:56) show the aircraft flying at FL350 at 458 knots. Course was changed back to Washington and the aircraft descended for the city, approaching from the North. The Boeing reportedly passed overhead the White House and entered a tight 270deg turn, heading for the US Department of Defence building (the Pentagon). It clipped trees and lightposts before slamming into the Southwest face of the Pentagon. An explosion occurred and the building caught fire.

I don't care what YOU told me, I have told you the building were designed to handle slow velocity aircraft as in a FOG. BTW, not 757s either.... but a small 707.
• Los Angeles, May 1988, 1st Interstate Bank, 62 stories, burned for 3.5 hours over 5 floors
• Philadelphia, Feb, 1991, Meridian Plaza, 38 stories, burned for 18 hours over 8 floors
• New York, Aug, 1970, New York Plaza, 50 stories, burned for six hours

nd it was hit by a B-25--and it had fuel too and the building caught on fire BUT it didn't collapse!).

There are other collateral issues which have been presented in this thread and which you cannot address.
#826. To: AGAviator (#823)
Unlike the jets at WTC, much of the slow flying B-25 didn't penetrate to the center of the building.

Doubtful he has posted any FACTS but I have his [AGAviator] dumb@$$ on my clown filter.

Are you saying that the planes that hit the towers (1 and 2) were full of fuel?
Early on the morning of September 11, 2001, nineteen hijackers took control of four commercial airliners en route to San Francisco and Los Angeles from Boston, Newark, and Washington, D.C. (Washington Dulles International Airport). At 8:46 a.m., American Airlines Flight 11 was crashed into the World Trade Center's North Tower, followed by United Airlines Flight 175 which hit the South Tower at 9:03 a.m.
A full tank was not necessary for the scheduled flights and they don't fill them up unnecessarily. More fuel carried, fewer paying passengers.

No, it's because I think he is a moron and a shill.
#832. To: James Deffenbach, AGAviator (#828)
You post crap. Lots of it.

In effect, your pansy assed statement is ludicrous:
