Part 2/8:
An essential aspect of the discussion revolved around Emergency Locator Transmitters (ELTs), devices designed to activate and signal distress during a crash. The speaker pointed out discrepancies concerning American Airlines Flight 11, the first plane to crash, noting that the ELT was supposedly activated before the aircraft struck the North Tower. Citing an account by Paul Thumser, a trained pilot and radar operator whose insights were included in the 9/11 Commission documents, the speaker argued that it is not possible to activate an ELT manually from a Boeing 767, the model of Flight 11.
