A 50-hour trend followed the attacks

What is there to say?

Sept 11 Formal prediction: Inter-egg Variance Red is real data, Green is Pseudorandom

Context: Variance on Sept 10 - 12Departure begins ~4 hours before attack

Independent AnalysesRadin: Odds against chance

For variance excursion on Sept 11The real data vs pseudorandom data

Data from EGG network Pseudorandom clone data
