Hi DYEW!

One more big difference here. The F-4 was riding on a track. No matter what it hit, it had no where else to go, except perfectly straight. . . . . A plane in flight hitting multiple poles is another story.

I figure that assuming the plane hit the poles, then it would be damaged, its flight control impaired, its straight path intended interrupted, and highly likely to crash into the next solid object a short distance straight ahead that is at the same height of the poles. So assuming that, its fair to say that AA77 also had nowhere else to go despite not being confined to a track.

The real problem for the OCT is that the damage, impairment and interruption would result in a very messy crash instead of one with the neat head-on impact that it postulates and requires. Under those circumstances, it's ridiculous to say that the nose still lead at impact and the plane was at the exact height required to then believe that it neatly slipped inside without hitting the trailer and coils, leaving no major items of debris outside, and not gouging the lawn.
