Thread: 9/11 Loose Change

  1. #61
    There's an interesting point in this documentary, where the filmmaker illustrates the difference between a "yellow" fireball from a plane crash test, and the "silvery" flash from the Pentagon explosion.

    Question: If the only image account of the crash was 5 frames from a parking lot security cam, then how in the fucking Hell did he get his hands on a straight shot of the explosion?

    There was a secondary explosion some time later, but the filmmaker alludes to this mystery photo in a way which suggests it "is" a shot of the crash.

    Also, small details are missed, like the "B-52" crashing into the Empire State building -- it was a B-25, not a B-52. 52's hadn't even been designed yet, let alone built. Ticky tack? Maybe, but in a film like this, any small missteps can throw overall believability right out the window.

    Pentagon to Release 9/11 Security Video

    17 minutes ago

    The Pentagon said Tuesday it planned to release video images of American Airlines Flight 77 crashing into the military headquarters building and killing 184 people in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

    The images, recorded by a Pentagon security camera, were to be released in response to a Freedom of Information Act request by Judicial Watch, a public interest group. The video had previously been leaked and publicly circulated, but this is the first time the government will have officially released the imagery.

    The hijacked American Airlines plane slammed into the southwest side of the Pentagon at 9:38 a.m. EDT, shortly after two other hijacked airlines were flown into the twin towers at the World Trade Center in New York. The attack set off fires in a portion of the Pentagon and killed 125 people inside, in addition to those on board the plane.

    "We fought hard to obtain this video because we felt that it was very important to complete the public record with respect to the terrorist attacks of September 11," said Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch.

    Not that footage could ever deter a conspiracy theorist. Surely the tape wasn't released for so long because it was being doctored to cover up the truth. We're all just so naiive.

    ^ yep. Really weird to see the coverage as it happened replayed this morning.


    Ted Olson's wife was on the plane that hit the pentagon. She called him after the hijacking. Must've been painful to talk to your spouse knowing 2 planes already hit the WTC.
    Players meeting my ASS!

    I watched that all morning too, the real-time re-air of the Today Show. Was weird to see what was happening at 10:05 am then right at 10:05 am today. I had memories of watching that same broadcast when it originally aired. Felt some of the same feels.
