Plumb Bob, I was referring to the high speed that the plane would have been traveling whilst low to the ground. I would imagine that the wings would have been sheared off and perhaps the tail if they were at a very high rate of speed. I don't know what their ground speed might have been but perhaps 300-350kts? Also, how difficult would it be to control a 757 at that presumably high rate of speed?
Henry Crun, I will concede that I made a poor choice in words in that quote. I hadn't read anything about anyone seeing the low-flying plane while driving along the nearby roadways but I wasn't trying to state fact. What I meant was someone testifying about how the plane nearly blew them off the roadway but Plumb Bob has explained already why that didn't happen. I was defensive because I didn't want to be labled a conspiracy nutter. My apologies.
Cheers!
