The CIA video and the NTSB video are not the same.

That much is obvious..

The NTSB zoom data does not include a climb to 3000'. The CIA's does.

Right, instead the NTSB video includes a 1500 foot climb, which is also impossible.

Boeing made their statement concerning the CIA video about one month before the NTSB video was shown. They made no similar statement about the NTSB video. You have no idea what data the CIA used from the NTSB.

However true your remark concerning the time frame between the Boeing statement and the NTSB video might be, it has no relevence to the validity of the zoom climb theory.

Although I might not have any idea exactly WHAT data the NTSB used for the video, it still stands that the CIA based its video on data and conclusions from the NTSB..

From FOIA Appeal to NTSB General Manager from Capt. Ray Lahr :

We do know that Boeing publicly denied any knowledge of the data and conclusions used by the CIA in its nationally televised cartoon of the zoom-climb. We also know that the CIA received its data and conclusions from the NTSB.

Lets make this simple...answer the following question with a yes or no:
Did Boeing make any statement about the NTSB video?

As far as I know, no they didn't. HOWEVER, that has zero relevance to the validity of the NTSB zoom-climb theory, which is physically impossible.

Lets make this simple...answer the following question with a yes or no:

One could also ask the following questions in the same manner...

Do you still smoke crack?
Do you still beat your wife?
Did you forget your meds today?
Are you still a jerk?

So you see, not all questions can be truthfully and accurately answered with a simple yes or no. My answer of "As far as I know, they didn't", is as best a yes or no answer I could give to the question you asked.

"I really DON'T know" would have been the more accurate and truthful answer however....

"As far as I know, no they didn't. "

Well I'll be damned. Good for you. As for the rest of your post, please take a look at my post #359. Not only is a zoom a physical possiblity, it is in all likelihood a probability. Most of this stuff has been beaten to death previously in a series of corresspondance between swordmaker and I.
