Yes, Dorothy.....they ARE essentially the same......The logic still stands.........If Boeing disavowed knowledge of the data used to make the CIA animation, then they were IN FACT doing the same re: the NTSB cartoon.
QUESTION 2: In preparing the animation, why didn't CIA personnel consult more closely with personnel fro m the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and Boeing? Because of the nature of the criminal probe, FBI guidelines dictated that minimum interaction take place between the CIA and either the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) or Boeing while the criminal investigation was in progress. With the approval of the FBI, however, the senior CIA aerodynamicist . involved in the project consulted Boeing engineers to obtain some of the Boeing 747 technical parameters used in CIA's modeling. Also, again with the approval of the FBI, the NTSB reviewed the video when it was in its late stages of production. More than 40 minor changes recommended by the NTSB were incorporated into the video. NTSB managers and senior technical personnel reviewed the final version and concurred in its release. This video was aired during the FBI news conference on November 18, 1997.
