No matter how you slice it, the DRA contradicts the NTSB flight path and THAT is the point.
I know that's the point, but you keep missing it. Mineta is confusing two separate events. One of them being the approach of Flight 77 from the west before he arrived at the PEOC and the second one being the TSD flight path of Flight 93 from the northwest after he arrived at the PEOC. Neither one of which match the CIT Loop.

Do you remember the arrival flight plans showing that UAL93 landed at Reagan National at 10:28 a.m.?

How about this document? It has the same 10:28 arrival time and it also shows that UAL93's flight plan was updated at 10:08 a.m. and was changed from SFO to HGR-DCA.

Here's the hand written statement from the controller who updated the flight plan:

The TSD flight path happened, this is what Mineta is describing, and Belger's references match it perfectly.
