I have two friends who were at an outdoor, rooftop party in Long Island, that night, with 30+ others. They saw the shootdown. He's ex-military and saw the white, ordinance explosion, followed by the yellow, jet fuel blast. The FBI interviewed them and didn't follow-up any further.
Is that the same party that was being video taped?
A 'cocktail party' tape was shown on national TV later on the night of the crash. The fixed cameras view showed some of the people at the party rushing to the rail of the patio after an off-screen flash out at sea. -- This clip was shown a few hours after the crash, on one of the stations I was surfing that night, then disappeared.
Anyone else out there remember seeing it?
Right after the crash on one of the news channels they showed radar pics, too.
It was another party; theirs wasn't taped, but one of the hosts did photograph (35mm) the explosion and aftermath. The FBI confiscated the camera, negs and prints 2 days later. They didn't even return the camera.
