The purpose of this brief article is to document the NEADS successful search for AA77 when cued with accurate, timely information.<\/p>\n
The primary source documentation is found on Ch 5 ID TK, in the first NEADS delivery of audio files to the Commission.\u00a0 The Channel recorded as an open mike and the stream of audio conversations is chaotic, intermingled, and largely in the background.\u00a0 Here is a 39 second segment of that file.\u00a0 The time is approximately 0936 EDT.<\/p>\n
