DEVELOPING ON DRUDGE: MYSTERY OBJECT CAUGHT ON TAPE MOMENTS AFTER SECOND TOWER HIT

I normally hate these "nothing follows" type posts. But this headline (which will soon link to a story) intrigues me. For I too remember seeing a strange object hurtling towards the ground just after the second plane it. At the time, I didn't think anything of it. I thought it might be a defect in the film or something.

OH...I said the camera picked up...

That was the wrong way to describe what I saw...you're right...the object was not in focus...my EYE picked out the "mystery object"...not the camera.

I had never noticed the object...before today...I guess my focus was always on the explosion...not the background.

I saw it to. My bet is that it was a bird that flew through the scene at much closer range and therefore was blurred and seemed to be traveling much faster than it was.

The red line he's drawn is misleading.

Instead, there seems to be a faint contrail from the "mystery object" back to the second tower.

As for the "mystery object," it's probably part of the jet, either part of the nose, an engine, or the landing gear, or some other part that shot through the building.

What we DON'T NEED NOW are more stupid conspiracy theories.

What we do need is unity and resolve to defeat and destroy the terrorist network.

"Remember the Towers!"

Looks like a giant roll of tin foil to me, but it's hard to tell. It's so blurry.

There is *** NO SHADOW *** on the WTC #1 building from this object. It clearly is coming from another angle.
Take a look and please comment people.

Thanks for screwing up this thread with the gigantic image.

Living here near the ocean, on waterfront property, it looks like a plume of gull shit to me.

Go HERE to see it for yourself. It makes a much bigger impression if you see the video clip. Scroll down to the "Video" section and click on, "East Angle - Second Plane Hits Tower"

[VRWC For Truth]

If you watch the sequence of photos, the object is falling like a parabola which is consistent with projectile physics. It came from the second crash. The red line is a red herring. Break out the Heavy Duty Renolds Wrap.

You all need to look at the following link and see for yourself...once you look at the video it will make more sense!

Look at the tape...it is clear that it is not at all part of the second plane. This is another aircraft of some sort flying at an extremely high rate of speed!

Scroll down to videos, east angle, second plane hits tower!

Stop flaming Matt until you have looked at the video - I think he really found something important here!

People in the South Tower had 15 minutes to escape by elevator after the first hit. This would have been trivial (it happens at 5PM every workday). But some officials were announcing that the South Tower was safe so not all left; many veterans of the '93 bomb ignored these "experts."

Then the second plane hit and I doubt anyone left over the impact point (floor 80) got out in the sixty minutes before collapse. Virtually noone in the North Tower over 90 got out and they had 90 minutes. According to one account, getting out from the 80th floor was a near thing due to backups and smoke on the stairs and in the lobby.

In the North Tower: complete wipeout over floor 90, 50% casualties 70-90, rest mostly safe.

In the South Tower: varied results depending upon instructions (e.g., 99% of MSDW's 3,700 employees got out).

WOW YOU ARE RIGHT! ITS AN ESCAPE POD! OMG THE TERRORISTS ARE LOSE ON THE STREETS OF MANHATTEN!.

Wake up.

Come on ... of course the landing gear were retracted (into the wing) until the wing(s), landing gear (three assemblies), engine(s), cockpit ..... and everything else was "taken apart forcibly" on impact through the building.

I'm amazed that even more "debris" wasn't carried through in the crash...and the most likely things to penetrate are large, strong, compact, heavy packages attached firmly together - like wheels and engines (formerly) attached to a wing structure being destroyed by elevators, bathrooms, copy machines, concrete walls and steel.

Does anyone really think this is remotely intriguing?

[Captiva]

When did all these commentators die? I just read Jonah.

Does anyone of the Web Address or Link to a station that brodcasts Drudge over the net?

Look at the tape...it is clear that it is not at all part of the second plane. This is another aircraft of some sort flying at an extremely high rate of speed!

Yeah ... right.

Given ALL the eyewitnesses AND all the people in NEARBY buildings with a close-up view and the experienced chopper pilots witnessing this event with their own eyes on location

- YOU'RE going to take a piece of video over the internet and perform qualified, detailed analysis ...

Yeah ... right.

This is rivero class analysis -

- and how this crap gets started on the internet ...

"The photo I have seen just before impact shows the wings deflected way up as if it were pulling about 3 or 4 G's. That's a pull up, not a push over."

No............and if the wings were "deflected way up" (i.e. flexing upward), that would imply significant negative G's. No, the plane was cranking a fairly hard turn, I'm guessing less than, or around, 2 G's IF he was on altitude. It takes 2 G's with any aircraft in the world to maintain level flight at 60 degrees of bank. I am not sure if the pilot was flying level with the impact point , but I assume he was close to the "desired" altitude. However, he was clearly banking to better center-punch the building (and still didn't........but it's a moot point, 'cause the bastard took the building down, anyway).

[RedBloodedAmerican]

I agree 100%
