While Wilson's work links together a lot of photographic evidence and eyewitness accounts it's still far from conclusive. Yet it allows one to check his accuracy, which IMO lies way above the rense article and the rest of the ilk.

I downloaded the models and played around with them for a couple of hours this afternoon--I measured the plane and the Pentagon, and the dimensions match those from published sources. The satellite photo Wilson used to position the objects and the plane's approach line is correctly scaled and oriented. I'm convinced this model is accurate and useful--much more so than anything I've seen on any conspiracist web site.

[edit: also, I measured the distance from the nose of the aircraft to the projected impact point to be about 200 feet. As the aircraft was traveling at nearly 800 ft/sec (according to the ASCE report), the vertical stabilizer will not be visible in the next frame if this is the aircraft's correct position.]

[edit: missing word]
