How did you spot this point as ten miles southeast of Indian Lake?

Ok, I should have been more precise. I'm positive that these latlong coordinates are meant as degrees/minutes/seconds, not decimal. If you take the coordinates as decimal, you end up even more away from Shanksville, somewhere at the Maryland/West Virginia border. This point lies within the airspace of Washington Center, however, and the coordinates originally arose from Cleveland Center, that's why the point can't be correct.

If you take the coordinates as degrees/minutes/seconds; you get a point about 10 miles southeast of Indian Lake (or about 13 miles southeast of the crash site).
