Update: Charles e-mailed me earlier to say that this clip is incredible. He’s right.

On a much lighter note...what the hell kind of music are they listening to?

[Recovering Hermit]

Even I was thinking, "What are they trying to hide?" as I watched the bad edits.

Those were not edits.

This is a DV camera switched to "pause" and then switched back to "record".

Mark for later read.

Updating didn't help me either. I had to download the latest version to get the video to work.

See post 45.

Check #39.

The line "it was a military plane" was lifted from when she saw the F-16 flying over and moved and placed over right after the 2nd tower was hit.

Yes...shortly after the "military plane" line she says it was a very big plane (or something to that effect.

The audio and video have both been edited.

See my post #42.

That funky audio transition between scenes is what leads me to the conclusion that it was just a DV camera, but if you say that you saw the unedited version, I would think that they just did a deck-to-deck or camera-to-deck "edit".

Record...FF...record...FF...record.

That still doesn't explain the fancy titles...perhaps they were added profesionally after the poor-man's edit of the original video.

On the replay Monday, they talked about how the front of the building was damaged and fire was burning inside throughout the building. It was pretty darn plain that it was all a result of the towers coming down.

Check #39.

I did. Check #50.

[Quix]

THANKS.

PLACE MARKER, BTTT BUMP

Many Muslims will never forget what we did to them on 9/11. Where are Western leaders apologizing for this day of infamy?

That was an incredible video.

Whoever these people are, they're quite the rich ones; you don't get that kind of height and view in Manhattan for $500 a month. And that's a professional-quality video cam (or damn close) they were using as well, not something you'd get at Circuit City.

Yup - I'll say. Was that an English nanny I heard in the background?

Oh well, folks that live in Manhattan high rise buildings usually make more than minimum wage.

The format of the digitized movie is a Quicktime. I can easily take the software that ships with my Mac, download this video, make video and audio edits, add titles, even do minor color correction, and produce an entirely revised Quicktime movie in about 30 minutes. You don't need fancy software anymore, iMovie does a great job with far more complex titles than what you see here.

Now if I load it into Final Cut Pro and then take the audio and load it into Protools, there is just about no end to the amount of manipulation I could do.

Another fine comment below the video

What is odd to me is the skill level that would be required to position the plane to be going that fast at that altitude and control the crash–crash into the Pentagon, not over or under shoot it.

How does this slack-jaw know they weren't aiming for the center court yard?

It was pretty darn plain that it was all a result of the towers coming down.

Wrong! It was the tiny nuclear devices implanted in all of the WTC buildings, in a controlled demolition by our evil government.

I hope you don't waste too much time trying to inject a little common sense into somebody who obviously has none to begin with.

It's a waste of your intelligence and your keyboard.
