Reasons for Perception of "Northside Flyover" are Obvious
Many factors readily explain "Northside" flight-path
perceived by CIT's cherry-picked witnesses:
- In any such large data set, there is a spread
- Cherry-picking exploits such a spread to make invalid conclusions
- CIT's witnesses were all north of the physical evidence flight path
- Given the Jet's speed and size,
witnesses would perceive it closer to their position
- The difference between the physical-evidence and "northside"
flight paths is only about 15 degrees
- CIT ignores altitude of the plane as factor in judging its position
- CIT's map of (highly cherry-picked) witness flight paths
has the plane making impossible turns, given its speed
- CIT's 'star witness' Legasse mistakenly thought
downed light-poles and damaged taxi were north of actual location
- Legasse appears to have inferred northerly flight-path
from mistaken notion of downed light-pole and taxi locations
- Another CIT witness, Legasse's partner,
likely derived his mis-perception by comparing notes
