Did a laser light guide Flight 175 into the South Tower?
Edited on Thu May-05-05 08:00 PM by demodewd
Now as we continue with the odyssey of Flight 175 you will be exposed to all of the other feats of this famed flight. Before impact, a large laser light spot appears from nowhere onto the left side of the World Trade Center, and as the plane gets closer, the laser light moves across the building about 70% across, and then the plane hits just beneath it. It then dances onto the fireball, then onto a buildings face more than a mile away in an instant!

1. A close examination of the radar tapes would reveal who or
what was guiding all of those planes. There are certain flight parameters that clearly show the level of control exercised by whoever is flying the plane. I'm talking about headings, altitude and airspeed control. The results are as sure as DNA. Amateurs will have certain problems regardless. Pros will have their distinctive style and machines , need I say more?

3. If it did, you probably wouldn't be able to see it.
  1. When I look at the CNN video here, I don't see the "laser" guiding the plane in as shown in the picture here:

  2. Laser's are not big white lights.

    Laser Light

    Laser light is very different from normal light. Laser light has the following properties:

    • The light released is monochromatic. It contains one specific wavelength of light (one specific color). The wavelength of light is determined by the amount of energy released when the electron drops to a lower orbit.

    • The light released is coherent. It is “organized” -- each photon moves in step with the others. This means that all of the photons have wave fronts that launch in unison.

    • The light is very directional. A laser light has a very tight beam and is very strong and concentrated. A flashlight, on the other hand, releases light in many directions, and the light is very weak and diffuse.

  3. If a targeting laser was used, you probably wouldn't be able to see it. There are existing laser targeting systems that use infrared lasers.

    Northrop Grumman Laser System's GLTD II is a compact, lightweight, single man portable laser target designator and rangefinder. Developed to enable combat soldiers to direct laser-guided "smart" weapons, such as Hellfire missiles, Paveway glide bombs and Copperhead artillery munitions to laser illuminated targets. Now in service in 14 countries (11 NATO allies).

    Performance
    • Laser Type: Nd:YAG
    • Wavelength: 1.064 micrometers
    • Pulse Energy: > 80 millijoules
    • Pulse-to-Pulse Stability: < 15%
    • Beam Divergence: < 0.3 mrads @ 90% energy
    • Boresight Retention: < 0.25 mrads
    • Modes: Range and Mark (Designate)

    http://www.es.northropgrumman.com/laser/ext/products/alats/alats-laserdesignators.htm

    Solid state lasers have lasing material distributed in a solid matrix, e.g., the ruby or neodymium-YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) lasers. The neodymium-YAG laser emits infrared light at 1.064 micrometers.

    The prospect of anyone using a highly visible "white laser" for targeting is extremely unlikely given the fact that avoiding detection would be highly desirable and it is possible to do it with existing products using an invisible infrared laser.
