IAN: Let's recall again that the plane was
at REST at the peak of a climb before it fell.
Not only is that consistent with basic physics,
but review the video to see the peaked jet sit
on the peak, attain a negative AoA, and then
fall. Trying to get around that is futile.
Your 400-mph jet just does not exist!
>Ian you've made the discovery of a lifetime!! Kites work by magic!!!
IAN: Mike, what I said is what I quoted from
a physics book, how could that be my discovery?
Every basic physics book covers the same fact.
Your examples show you need to do more research.
The object with initial horizontal velocity
strikes HARDER than the one dropped from rest,
even as they both strike at THE SAME TIME.
The horizontal velocity is translated into
the harder strike, NOT into a faster fall.

IAN: That's wild speculation. Jet-engine operation
depends upon the proper angle of attack of the relative
wind, and thus, to quote an aviation mechanic, "when the
engines pitch up the compressors stall and the engine
flames out unless laminar airflow is restored rapidly."

IAN: That must be about the fifth errant
claim you've used to support the CIA case.
Watch the video again.
