Many of the people in charge of security taping equipment are "too busy" to set the clock correctly, etc. Often the person watching the monitors is not trusted to change the tapes, the vcr may be in a locked cabinet that can only be opened by the supervisor.

There are good reasons for this since it prevents tampering but a special effort has to be made by the supervisor to use good tapes and keep the clocks set ,daylight savings time changes are a REAL pain in the a** for 24 hour operations of any kind. (I hate that stupid idea.)

Many banks fail to buy enough new tapes and re-use tapes long past the point of recording clear pictures.

A good cctv can record detail between that of standard broadcast and the new hdtv but only if premium tapes and vcrs are used and maintained.

Too often, the only thing maintained is the warning sign; if the criminal comes in anyway, the cctv often is too grainy too help much.

Ok ok... I was just being absurd. I knew conspiracy theories would be coming so I figured I'd start with wildest one of all -- what if the day we all thought was September 11 was actually the 12th? You know, we all had our memories erased by one day ala Men in Black...

I think the time is correct, but the 'Impact' was added later.

My guess is that the security camera in the Pentagon was on International Dateline Military time which in Australia would be the next day (just a guess)
