Those eleven witnesses do not appear with their names excepting one, Charles Webbert, who saw the machine "being assisted in starting on the rail". He did not mention hands pushing the airplane. Anyway, for reasons already explained the credibility of this man is zero
Absolute rubbish. I provided all the names earlier. All of the others lack credibility as well? Once again.
