In this article I attempt go in search and verify the type of aircraft debris part shown on CNN on September 12th, 2001.
Below is the screen-shot taken from the CNN news report on 9/12.
Note: Serial Number: CSTG 256T1115-2
I conducted a part number search in the 767 Illustrated Parts Catalog. The part number CSTG 256T1115-[1] is installed on 767s. It is a bracket which is part of a leading edge slat actuator assembly. The illustration of this part seems to be a very good match, although the part number ends in [1] and not [2]. See below:
Below, is a screen-shot from a CNN news report from 9/12, which gives an idea of where the aircraft debris was found. The police officer points out the debris on a vehicle’s bonnet (hood).
The aircraft debris location was on Rector St between Broadway and Trinity, according to the CNN screen-shot when matched to the photograph below:
The windows, the tree, and stone wall match perfectly. This would mean, the aircraft part “landed” about 1,100 feet from the South wall of WTC2.
See below, the path from impact point to landing spot.
The resting place location of the aircraft debris raises the question.
Could the “alleged” aircraft serial numbered bracket been ejected that distance during the destruction of the South Tower?
If you watch any of the videos of the WTC2 destruction, you will observe that the top portion of the Tower tilts over and blocks any trajectory to the southeast.
If this scenario is true, it would mean that the aircraft bracket ejected 960 feet down and 1100 feet laterally away from the impact point, and come to rest on the hood of the vehicle.
I will leave it to the reader to draw their own conclusions.
Thanks for reading & caring!
The part might have travelled that distance if it had some explosive force behind it, but we’re constantly told those forces weren’t present. I’d categorise it under ‘Magic Passport and Other Miscellany’.
A very concise and practical example to make people think critically. I’m going with ‘impossible.’ Especially since CNN reported it.
