“You seriously say that somebody making a claim is ‘proof’?”
No, I said no such thing. I said the video recording is the proof right before your very eyes. Captured in that one image frame is the Puentes GoPro camera where the survivors were located, the Cessna aircraft hundreds of feet away, and the aircraft Puentes says was Lang’s aircraft. So there is graphic proof the survivors were floating far away from the crashed aircraft by the time Lang’s aircraft began to approach the crash scene.
When Lang began to approach the aircraft Jacob was sitting on the wing of the plane pointing out Lang’s plane to the others who were all right around there. I didn’t see Lang’s plane itself anywhere in the video. There is no proof on the video that it was ever there. Nor is there any proof on the video that it circled overhead or that a navy plane was doing touch-and-goes and laid down smoke flares. So what you are citing as proof is basically somebody claiming that it happened.
And the photos that Lang says he took are not compatible with the sequence of how Puentes’ video shows the plane submerging. There are some other discrepancies as well that show that Lang’s photos are not of this plane or this crash, which is why I’m not retracting my original statement even though I was mistaken about there being a rear window.
The turbulence depicted in Lang’s photos doesn’t make sense - especially if the wings are supposed to already be submerged but the tail fairly high in the air as portrayed in Puentes’ video. Particularly curious is the turbulent water covering up the aircraft starting at the point where the tailpiece is first attached to the fuselage when that part of the plane would only have been underwater if the plane was tipped on its side and back.
The waters around the plane are pretty much calm except where the right wing is presumed to be causing turbulence - turbulence seemingly caused by forward motion even though by that time (if this was taken after the passengers had all floated off) there wasn’t any forward motion left from the ditching, but in Puentes’ video the sea is more choppy all over. It’s almost like Lang’s photo was taken a different day.
The turbulence caused by the right wing is totally different than the turbulence caused by the left wing in Lang’s photo, suggesting that the plane was unbalanced with the right side of the plane turned upward, which would be especially strange since there had previously (supposedly) been people holding onto the right wing pulling it down.
This looks to me like a different plane on a different day, landed a bit differently.
