Well, one thing that's needed is a definite time for the crash. If you
set Passur for 2:38 you'll see a plane following the CNN account
(although CNN has now switched to the Mayor's version)... In fact if
you just stare at Passur for a little while you'll see planes all over
the place dropping from the display where there are no airports.

So assuming the up-the-East-River account is correct, how did Lidle (or
the instructor) manage to hit the north face of the building? That
seems an impossibly tight turn.

You get different data from the different airports in Passur. If you use
EWR as the base airport, you can see the plane made two turns around the
Statue of Liberty, which you can't see from the other airports.

If look at the LaGuardia feed, you can not only use the 10 mile scale, you
can also see the aircraft fly up to Roosevelt Island, then make a 180 turn
toward the left before disappearing.
