? Fear of Landing – I am the problem: PSA flight 1771 https://fearoflanding.com/accidents/accident-reports/i-am-the-problem-psa-flight-1771/ comments: On 10 Dec 24, Alison Maynard The “crash” of PSA 1771 is a hoax perpetrated by the FBI and persons associated with Pacific Southwest Airlines. I have investigated it in two blog posts. The first one is here (https://therealcolorado.org/index.php/2022/10/24/flight-93-and-the-fake-crash-of-psa-1771-that-presaged-it/) and the second one, which details the info I was provided in response to FOIA requests, refutes the published story in every material respect. This was an Operation Northwoods-type scam, where a drone substituted for the real plane (although not even drone parts were recovered at the site–there was only wadded up newspapers). The second blog post is here: https://therealcolorado.org/index.php/2024/11/05/psa-1771-a-northwoods-dry-run/ Pacific Southwest Airlines Flight 1771 - Wikipedia https://archive.ph/2026.03.15-200510/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Southwest_Airlines_Flight_1771 … At 4:16 p.m., the plane crashed into a hillside on the Santa Rita cattle ranch in the Santa Lucia Mountains between Paso Robles and Cayucos. The plane was estimated to have crashed at a speed slightly faster than that of sound, around 770 mph (670 kn; 340 m/s; 1,240 km/h), disintegrating instantly. Based on the deformation of the titanium flight-data recorder case, the aircraft experienced a deceleration of 5,000 g (49,000 m/s/s) when it hit the ground. It was traveling around a 70° angle toward the south. The plane struck a rocky hillside, leaving a crater less than two feet (0.61 m) deep and four feet (1.2 m) across. Only 11 of the passengers were ever identified. … Several federal laws were passed after the crash, including a law that requires "immediate seizure of all airline and airport employee credentials" after an employee's termination, resignation, or retirement from an airline or airport position. A policy was also implemented stipulating that all airline flight crew and airport employees are subject to the same security measures as are airline passengers. … The crash killed the president of Chevron USA, James Sylla, along with three of the company's public-affairs executives. Also killed were three officials of Pacific Bell, prompting many large corporations to create policies to forbid travel by multiple executives on the same flight.
