The 1st WTC impact

For whatever reason, not enough people are paying close enough attention to the opening salvo of 9/11.

The first WTC impact was very strange-looking. What was that premature bright flash, immediately prior to (or upon) impact with the tower wall? (And why haven't the television networks seen fit to replay and analyze and discuss this blatant visual evidence of high-tech foul play?)

This video was shot (to tape) by Jules Naudet. It spent the day in his camera with him at "Ground Zero". It is the only known video that actually shows the 1st WTC impact, the only one ever seen by the public. It was first broadcast by Univision after 12:30 a.m. (EDT) on 9/12, which is when this VHS recording was made. (download) (download2) (download3) (download4) (download5) (view)

In the Naudet video documentary, the cameraman, who was with firefighters at the time, immediately went with them to the WTC, not to Gamma Press (the group which first released the video that night). So how did George Bush see the 1st WTC impact on TV before he entered that classroom at 9 a.m., as he has repeatedly stated, hmmmm? (Most likely answer: DISA)

We wish we had a much better look at the phenomenal impact. On 9/11, George Bush promised us a full-scale investigation, using the full resources of the federal government.

The fact that NASA did not promptly (or ever!) produce an enhanced look at this event is yet another of the many suspicious "dogs that didn't bark" surrounding the 9/11 mass murder and criminally botched subsequent 'investigation'.

In the meantime, as you squint at this fuzzy video of the 1st WTC impact, trying to decide for yourself - as you should - if that was really a 767 or not (early reports indicated not, plus no one's ever explained how a 767 could ever make such a brief bright burst of light upon, if not prior to, impact...), we offer you one basic 767 fact: The wing is in the middle of the plane.

There is approximately an equal amount of fuselage ahead of the wing as there is behind it. Therefore, if the video is of an actual 767, there should be approximately as much fuselage visible ahead of the wing as there is behind it.

Using the frame advance buttons (or kybd arrow keys) of your QuickTime player, note how long it takes the aircraft to block the light reflecting from the corner of the tower as it flies by. This provides another opportunity to visually estimate how much fuselage there was ahead of the wing.

Thus even these noisy VHS video frames that apparently show an aircraft flying into the North tower seem to reveal an aircraft which had very little fuselage ahead of the wing.

Other than the fact that the video thus tells us that no 767 flew into the North tower, what can we possibly deduce from the proportions of the strange-appearing aircraft in the Naudet video?

Any aircraft which does not generate its lift near its center of mass would be uncontrollable, if not unflyable. (Did you ever wonder why a blimp with gondola-mounted engines can not have the gondola be near the front?) This tells us that the snub-nosed foreward-winged aircraft evident in the video had a lot of mass in its nose, which suggests that the aircraft was some sort of flying battering ram.

A separate analysis, based upon the DVD release of this video, suggests that the aircraft is at least 25% too small and of the wrong proportions to have been a 767.

Regardless, the "flash frame" alone is evidence of a conspiracy which is not adequately explained by trying to blame it all on "19 guys with boxcutters". It is also an indicator that what we see was not a(n ordinary) 767 impact, which casts a huge doubt over the trusting belief that American Airlines Flight 11 hit the tower.

From the 1st TV broadcast:

In the frame before this, the
tower had still not yet been hit

As a diversion from such damning evidence, many governmental types within the 9/11 Truth Movement have been attempting to fracture and divide (and thus stifle) the movement by either ignoring or telling bogus lies about, and thus trying to marginalize, web sites which present evidence of 9/11 anomalies - evidence the governmental types are trying to suppress. (Some "911 truth" sites themselves wrongly minimize and totally dismiss and totally ignore this very same case-breaking evidence that the government's 9-11 Commission totally ignored!)

From the DVD release:

Here's how the burst of light and the
'plane' appears in the Naudet DVD:

Even when people know the government
is lying about 9/11, many still let the liars
tell them who to blame and hate for 9/11!
