Central to the discussion is the visualization of Flight 77's path through Google Earth, facilitated by an individual or group known as "911 Maps." They compiled DCC radar data, enhancing the understanding of the flight's trajectory from takeoff to its fateful conclusion. This analysis highlights several significant moments — including the transponder being deactivated and a mysterious 20-minute gap in the flight's radar tracking.
