My back-of-the-envelope says M=0.74, assuming ISA.

Seems to be too far below M=0.86 to really matter....
I came up with about the same and I agree.

There is a discussion on the Pilots Forum regarding this as well. Groundspeed data computed by the FMC, when adjusted for wind is within 1-2 knots airspeed. Obviously, there weren't any problems with the Static System.

It appears the reason for this whole thread is that a man named Frank Legge, a supposed chemist from Australia has been trying to discredit pilots who have questions regarding 9/11. His paper was posted a few pages back in this thread. You can read more from the pilots here with respect to this topic.

Here are their list of members.

However, the same man (Frank Legge) who is trying to discredit pilots, without being a pilot himself, claims the WTC was destroyed by Controlled Demolition. He seems to trust the data provided by the NTSB, but doesn't trust anything from the NIST. Go figure.
