So how many maps were there, and what do we really know about them?
The official story, (and you can see below, there is more than one) we will call the public maps. From USA today, and other media outlets. Since "flight explorer" was named in the 911comission reports, we can also conclude those are official.
This is where the confusion lies. At least from my viewpoint. I do not know enough about the company, or how it recieves its data to make a conclusion, but it seems they recieve their info from ground tracking stations, radar, ATC....
Thus, since it seems to this reader, anyone can download this software (there may be some stipulations about being a pilot, or invloved with ATC etc..), it seems there may have been many people with access to this information at the time. It would be nice to know if this info can be recorded, or is "cached" somehow by flight explorer? Or even by an individual?
Is this where the other maps might have come from ? Such as the irvingshapiro maps below?
How many people have these on their hard drives?
If this data is made public, we can decide for ourselves if the maps were "put together" accurately. Since the transponders were off, it seems that the official versions were patchworked together with radar data, and some amout of guesswork. So can we rely on the guesswork of these people?
If 2 planes crossed paths without the transponders on, then they would have to rely on radar data. The problem here, is radar does not give the altitude, so hoe do we know they tracked the correct plane?
911 comission
now says that the reason flight 77 dissapeared from radar was a
sotware anomaly.But there was also another technical error " The
pilot was in contact with the air traffic control, and presumably
hijackers bursting into the cockpit and manually killing both
pilots or wresting control, would take enough time for an
experienced, a former Navy Captain, and Top Gun and Vietnam veteran
fighter pilot, to shout some kind of alarm. But the controller
says, we were talking to him and all of a sudden it just [went
silent]." ( 8.56 - 8.58 )
So first a technical error knocks out the radio? And then a
software anomaly make it dissapear from
radar?

(good job, but there were more than 3 maps. I am listing other below)
Flight explorer maps... (these first 2 maps, are some of the first to come out. thus can provide us with more information as to what really happened.
caapilots.com/News/TradeCenterPaths.htm Came out Sept 11th
caapilots.com/News/911FlightPaths.htm Came out Feb23 '02
As far as I can tell, this is the "official" version of the maps....

I found another set of maps, i had emailed the owner of the site,
but he seemed not to want to answer any questions regarding this.

note: flight 77 shows a different path here than on other maps
From the 911-commission report
Now look at the little blip in the
Flight 77
path. It's not just on a
border, its on the apex of three ATC sectors - Cleveland,
Indianopolis and
whatever the Washington one is.
Look at the big AVI of Flight 175 - it does a little dance on the
border
between Boston and New York centers.
