It's in the video. Coast Guard spokesman, chief petty officer Todd Bergun says that he got the information from FAA personnel in the tower at Martha's Vineyard. Again, he says he had no radar information. Then how did he get a story of tower contact that included the facts, established by the NTSB report, that at precisely 9:39 Kennedy was on his typical final approach , ie lined up with the coast (nb: his first flight instructor told me that John's favorite approach was to line himself up with the coast of MV. He told me that this is what the NTSB radar shows the plane did in it's second-to-last maneuver; this preference of John's for this approach is also corroborated by his cousin), at 2,500 feet, and 14 miles out? Unless he got it in a message from God, Bergun got that information from FAA people in the tower, as he said he did. Ipso facto, there were FAA people in the tower at 9:39. The tower, I believe, closes at 10. They were certainly there at 9:44, five minutes later, when they were supposed to initiate a search for the now-missing plane. No doubt these people passed on the information to appropriate responsible others who took the information and trashed it, as they did at 10:00 when Adam Budd, a MV airport employee attempted to report the plane missing; and from midnight to 2 am as the family repeatedly and unsuccessfully tried to get the FAA to respond. At 2 the family gave up on the FAA and called the Coast Guard. But the people in the tower were, apparently, not in on it, since they gave up this information to the Coast Guard.
I think the most powerful evidence is the pentagon spokesman, Roark, saying that their is no crash site indicated by the radar so that they will keep the search craft scattered; and that they can't even be sure that it's the plane their looking for, when the radar search, the NTAP, BEGINS with the plane identifying itself. These are obvious lies. Why does he tell them? The reporters chaff against this obvious crap. And also want to know why the FAA did nothing until they heard from the Coast Guard. And then did nothing until 7 am.
