This 8:14 a.m. take-off is confirmed by the Air Traffic Control (ATC) pilot
radio transcript and various radar data. So, what about the 8:23 a.m.? How
was this data generated?
The wheels-off time of is triggered automatically by a mechanical switcher when
the plane loses contact to the ground. The data is sent automatically to the
airline via Aircraft Communication Addressing Radio System (ACARS), and the
airline forwards them to the BTS on a regular base. So no human failure is
possible. The fact that the gate departure 7:58 a.m. coincides with the
official story suggests that the data is valid.
Being familiar with the duplication of Flight 11 at Logan Airport, I arrived at
the conclusion that this was another case of a duplicated plane, with
"Flight 175" taking-off at 8:14 a.m. and another
"Flight 175" taking off at 8:23 a.m. http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum//index.php?showtopic=29
To support the 8:23 a.m. take-off time of the duplicate Flight 175, I identified
a surprising eyewitness, who is named Steven
Miller who is a pilot of US Airways, and was next in line behind Flight 175 to
take-off from the runway on 9/11.
On the taxi-out in Boston, Steven Miller (the pilots of US Airways 6805) waited
at the runway's hold-short line, where Miller looked up to watch a United
Boeing 767 take-off, (United Flight 175). The final weight and balance
calculations from dispatch came over the ACARS at 8:05 a.m., and with that in
hand, the crew was ready to fly. Wide-body aircraft produce especially powerful
wingtip vortices - horizontal, tornado-like winds off the ends of the wings -
which require time to dissipate before another aircraft can take-off, so Miller
waited the required three minutes after United Flight 175 departed before he
received his take-off clearance.

A quick check with the BTS database reveals that USA 6805 had a wheels-off time
of 8:28 a.m. Miller explicitly describes that he waited 3 minutes before
getting take-off clearance; adding a little bit for the timespan between take-off
clearance and actual wheels-off, Flight 175 must have lifted off the runway
around 8:23-8:24 a.m. It is out of the question that Miller observed a
plane that took-off at 8:14 a.m.
The question has to asked; Did Miller see a different United plane? This is very
unlikely. Searching the BTS database for other United Boeing 767's delivers no
results for the relevant time. There is a very slim possibility that a
non-domestic United Boeing 767 took-off just then, because the BTS database
lists only domestic flights. However, Miller himself says it was Flight 175, so
either he overheard the flight number when taxiing out, or, as someone who was
frequently flying from Logan (as he says) he was familiar with the wide-body
planes departing at that time.
The BTS database also reveals that the tail number of the plane that took-off
at 8:23 a.m. was N612UA. This was United Airlines Flight 175. And
there is no proof that the plane that took-off at 8:14 a.m. was N612UA.
Thanks for reading & caring!
