Step 1. The rather obvious fact that a plane actually hit the tower.
Step 2. Errrr.... see step 1. |

The gazortinsnatchs of caloric in the impacting object, which we'll term "the plane" is resisted by the keggerwimples of phlogiston in the impacted object, which we'll term "the building".
There's no requirement to invoke rock and scissors, nor escalate to lizard-spock. Caloric trumps phlogiston. |

Yankee451's problem is simple. He has nothing and he can't BS his way around this. Why he comes to a forum where he will be questioned is anyones guess. Maybe he hopes he will be banned and can claim he won by default. What he wins is anyones guess.
Yankee451, My suggestion, stick to the brains on YouTube. You are out of your league when people actually expect you to back-up your opinion. |

Just what evidence have you brought forth? I see a lot of statements, but no evidence to support them. Like the statement about the removal of bolts and entire floor systems. What is the evidence that supports this premise? Just how was this done, and where did they hide the parts and pieces they removed? And, how did they do this without anyone noticing?
How did anyone know where the impact area was prior to the impact? |

I own the DVD, have watched it countless times and frame by frame. I am also well-versed with video cameras and tripods and can recognize stabilized tripod panning when I see it. I can also recognize when a camera is being removed from the tripod, also visible in the footage. Had you STUDIED it instead of just WATCHING it, you'd not be making such foolish statements.

Putting it in a way that tries to avoid breaching the MA and is sensible... the thread has run its course. The responses as of now regardless of intent have served little more than to feed the "entertainment" for the OP.... the whole basis of the OP rests on ignoring evidence that can't be ignored... so trying to correct it seems tantamount to speaking with a brick wall... but moreover I doubt that's the biggest issue with the direction of the tread, as what I'm reading clearly suggests.

That pan would be near impossible without having practiced the motion on a tripod. He was a rookie remember? Oh, I guess you wouldn't. You haven't watched it. Anyhoo, he used expert panning skills to center the impact shot perfectly and then, to make it look like he's a rookie, he did that pathetic exaggerated zoom-in and zoom-out bit. Jules Naudet was an expert video photographer pretending to be an amateur; it's not even subtle. |

Oh, I didn’t watch it? Well first of all, the Naudet video was not supposed to be about 911, it was about the FDNY. At the time of the impact, he was filming a training exercise being held by members of the FDNY. The camera angle was much lower than when he stood up and panned to the left to catch the impact just before the “oh ****”. Quite a feat for a man using a camera mounted on a tripod. But then again, maybe he wasn’t as experienced as you say you are.

Maybe you read the cliff notes and missed the sequence where he panned around the intersection prior to the big show, and maybe you've never tried to pan a video camera to perfectly capture a small, fast object in the center of your screen, much less one moving 440 miles per hour, and maybe you've never used a tripod.

He was allegedly not ready for it, which makes his pan and capture remarkable indeed.
Here's a flyby of a Tomahawk where the video photographer was ready for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=fRWWUB6q2ug |
