Not that anyone here has actually stalled a 757 in real life (I dont think), but was curious if anyone has any knowledge on what the reaction of the a/c would be (maybe someone has done it in a simulator?)
My intention is not to create another conspiracy thread. I am just curious at to how the a/c would perform and if in the heat of the moment the witnesses were unable to accuarately describe what they were seeing.
The following are witness account from Flight93. (The plane that crashed in Shanksville PA on 9-11)
10) An unnamed witness says he hears two loud bangs before watching the plane take a downward turn of nearly 90 degrees. [Cleveland Newschannel 5, 9/11/01]
11) Another unnamed witness sees the plane overhead. It makes a high-pitched, screeching sound. The plane then makes a sharp, 90-degree downward turn and crashes. [Cleveland Newschannel 5, 9/11/01]
12) Tom Fritz, about a quarter-mile from the crash site: He hears a sound that "wasn't quite right" and looks up in the sky. "It dropped all of a sudden, like a stone," going "so fast that you couldn't even make out what color it was." [St. Petersburg Times, 9/12/01]
13) Terry Butler, a few miles north of Lambertsville: "It dropped out of the clouds." The plane rose slightly, trying to gain altitude, then "it just went flip to the right and then straight down." [Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 9/12/01]
If in fact the a/c did stall, would it be so sharp and so sudden as to almost dive directly into the ground and create a relatively small debris field? According to a private pilot eyewitness, flight93 was in level flight at approx 2,200' (AGL?)
Again, lets keep this to a/c perfromance if we can.
