Why Should NASA Have It Both Ways?
If the forward fuselage was stripped from the 51-L crew
cabin at water impact as NASA claims, why wasn't the crew found immediately via "X marks the spot?" Flares could have been used to locate the crew quickly, in only 90 feet of water near the Hetzel Shoals buoy. As it was, it took well over a month to officially locate the crew module. The very large pieces of structure from the forward fuselage had been quickly located on the surface above a "large object" (allegedly not the crew module). So what were the coordinates of the recovered pieces from the forward fuselage, relative to those of the crew module? How soon were pieces of cabin shell spotted and flagged? Why wouldn't honest investigators into the deaths of the crew get this sort of data in front of the public rather quickly, along with float time/direction due to wind and waves? Why should NASA continue to go unquestioned about this? Why should NASA still have it both ways, in the face of my evidence and the word of the rescue pilot who supports me. -- John Thomas Maxson, Retired Engineer (Aerospace) Author, The Betrayal of Mission 51-L (www.mission51l.com) |

The very large pieces of structure from the forward fuselage had been quickly located on the surface above a "large object" (allegedly not the crew module). So what were the coordinates of the recovered pieces from the forward fuselage, relative to those of the crew module? I did not post the coordinates on purpose. I gave an approximate location +- 1,000 feet or so. How soon were pieces of cabin shell spotted and flagged? The day of the accident. Why wouldn't honest investigators into the deaths of the crew get this sort of data in front of the public rather quickly, along with float time/direction due to wind and waves? Why should NASA continue to go unquestioned about this? Why should NASA still have it both ways, in the face of my evidence and the word of the rescue pilot who supports me. Your failure to fully address these basic questions before publishing a book covering this issue is a more interesting question IMO. -- Daniel Mount Charleston, not Charleston, SC |

"John Maxson"
So what were the coordinates of the recovered pieces from the forward fuselage, relative to those of the crew module? with float time/direction due to wind and waves? What do you hope to derive from this info.....the coordinates of various pieces or the float time and direction? Is this in order to determine when the crew died? |
