1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,960
completely in one side and out the other it just disappeared it disappeared like it like a bad

2
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:19,120
special effect the airplane did disappear like a bad special effect exactly like a bad special effect

3
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:29,760
the plane doesn't break twist bend crumple explode or even slow down

4
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,760
the building explodes from within long after the plane appears to go in

5
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:52,480
a good special effect would have parts exploding and bouncing off and tumbling to the streets below

6
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:59,040
i'm not sure it's even possible i certainly can't animate a realistic airplane crash

7
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,760
but i can do one that's as good as hezzer connie

8
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:11,760
the result is footage that's every bit as convincing as the original ghost plane footage which is to say

9
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:19,840
not completely convincing in both shots we don't see any parts of the airplane breaking or bending

10
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:26,800
or twisting another thing that was bad about the special effect in fairbanks is a blatant

11
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,920
contradiction with the special effect in hezzer connie here's hezzer connie

12
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:49,360
the plane enters the tower the engines turn into puff balls we are to believe that these are the engines

13
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:57,120
themselves or building materials or something but whatever the puff balls are meant to represent

14
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,640
notice that they are clearly underneath the wings as the engines were

15
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:10,480
and they are now looking at the fairbanks video the location of the wing entrance can easily be marked

16
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:15,360
and obviously the puff ball is well above the left wing

17
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:26,960
the over under puff ball is irreconcilable with reality but has an easy explanation in video compositing

18
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,760
the mask was in the wrong place

19
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:43,760
in this 3d model two white spheres represent the location of the puff balls

20
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:52,480
with the mask in the correct location the left wing appears to pass over the puff ball

21
00:02:52,480 --> 00:03:22,160
they didn't have time to do good special effects they needed to create airplane

22
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:29,680
composites from a number of different camera angles rather quickly with a 3d model the airplane's

23
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:41,840
light can easily be rendered from any camera angle

24
00:03:52,160 --> 00:04:14,160
the twin tower events each featured a bright flash right when the airplane nose appears to meet the

25
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:20,560
tower the flashes make a very handy marker for where to place the nose of the airplane

26
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:29,040
in both time and space on all of the prepared airplane layers there is designated a particular frame

27
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,760
to be the one where the plane impacts the tower

28
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:38,560
in the editing software the impact frame is moved to line up with the flash frame

29
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:56,480
the key to solving 9 11 is to understand what's known as video compositing video compositing means

30
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:01,920
taking two or more video images and putting them together so that they look like one

31
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:12,080
with today's technology you must always always remember objects that look like they're in the shot may have

32
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:26,160
actually been inserted

33
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:46,620
The 9-11 airplane videos are video composites.

34
00:05:46,620 --> 00:05:52,080
We know this because of the cartoon physics and from a few mistakes that are found in

35
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,080
them.

36
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,640
More on the mistakes in a moment.

37
00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:02,260
Here are the basics of how compositing works.

38
00:06:02,260 --> 00:06:07,580
Compositing is done by arranging video elements in a stack of layers.

39
00:06:07,580 --> 00:06:15,400
Some part of the top layer is made transparent, revealing the next layer underneath.

40
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:22,560
Beginning with a stock 3D model of a Boeing 767, the plane is rotated so that it banks

41
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:23,560
left.

42
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:30,180
It's color corrected, motion blurred, scaled down, and animated.

43
00:06:30,180 --> 00:06:36,800
The effect of the layer is transparent, so it appears to fly in front of the tower.

44
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:48,420
The key to this trick, and the key to solving 9-11, is something called a key.

45
00:06:48,420 --> 00:06:56,040
In video, a key is an effect that makes part of a video transparent based on some property,

46
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,040
like color or brightness.

47
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,660
color.

48
00:07:00,660 --> 00:07:05,660
The tower video is copied into two separate layers.

49
00:07:05,660 --> 00:07:06,660
color.

50
00:07:06,660 --> 00:07:11,280
The sky is made transparent on the top layer with luminance key.

51
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:16,900
Anything brighter than the adjustable threshold disappears.

52
00:07:16,900 --> 00:07:22,900
Notice that when the two layers are back together, it looks identical to the original.

53
00:07:22,900 --> 00:07:27,520
Remember, it's actually two layers stacked up.

54
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:33,520
To complete the illusion, the airplane layer is sandwiched in between the other two.

55
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:34,520
Presto!

56
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:42,140
If the airplane goes too far, oops, it looks like it comes out the back side.

57
00:07:42,140 --> 00:07:48,760
To prevent this from happening, a mask can be drawn on the airplane layer.

58
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,760
The south tower is in the center of the frame.

59
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,840
The left half of the screen is masked off.

60
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,720
The airplane goes in, and we never see it again.

61
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:05,480
Under certain conditions, faking an airplane on live TV is pretty easy.

62
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,760
Under other conditions, it's impossible.

63
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:15,440
Only three 9-11 airplane videos are confirmed to have been shown live.

64
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:22,440
ABC Chopper 7, Fox Chopper 5, and WPIX.

65
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:27,600
None of them actually shows an airplane hitting anything.

66
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:36,280
With today's technology, making a live, real-time shot look like the CNN Hezerkani shot would be

67
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,400
impossible.

68
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:45,440
But remember, the first time this was shown was many hours after the event.

69
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:52,440
It just so happens that all of the live airplane videos were taken with the shady side of the

70
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,060
tower next to a very bright sky.

71
00:08:56,060 --> 00:08:59,620
This makes pulling a key very easy.

72
00:08:59,620 --> 00:09:03,720
In a different shot, keying could be impossible.

73
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:10,120
It just so happens that the live airplane videos have a steady camera with no panning or

74
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,740
tilting or zooming in.

75
00:09:12,740 --> 00:09:18,800
If any of this camera motion had occurred while the airplane was on screen, compositing would

76
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,500
have been impossible.

77
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:28,500
It just so happens that the live shots share a remarkable list of compositional characteristics

78
00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:40,500
that make live video compositing possible.

79
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:47,500
Absent any one of these, inserting a fake airplane live in real-time becomes impossible.

80
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:55,500
What are the odds that this occurred by chance?

81
00:09:55,500 --> 00:10:01,160
WPIX and Chopper 7 shots seem to have been put together nicely.

82
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,500
The same cannot be said for Chopper 5.

83
00:10:04,500 --> 00:10:08,740
As you look at the picture from our chopper now arriving at the scene.

84
00:10:08,740 --> 00:10:12,600
What is he talking about arriving at the scene?

85
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:19,180
The chopper is over the Hackensack River in New Jersey, five miles away.

86
00:10:19,180 --> 00:10:25,860
Why are they not headed toward what is already the news story of the year?

87
00:10:25,860 --> 00:10:26,740
Wait a minute.

88
00:10:26,740 --> 00:10:29,880
Is something missing here?

89
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:35,800
With the camera zoomed in, now it looks like the chopper is arriving at the scene.

90
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,380
It seems that we weren't supposed to see that wide shot.

91
00:10:39,380 --> 00:10:53,920
And that's because there's no plane in it.

92
00:10:53,920 --> 00:11:00,040
By adjusting the scale and position of every video frame, matching the speed of the airplane

93
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:24,040
and working backwards, we can determine where the plane should be earlier.

94
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,620
The plane should be visible for over five seconds.

95
00:11:27,620 --> 00:11:33,040
That's 340 separate images, and there is no plane.

96
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,040
Hey, this is Kai Simonson.

97
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:41,040
The camera op on board Chopper 5 was WNYW reporter Kai Simonson.

98
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,040
Well, I knew that the plane was coming in because the pilot told me.

99
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,040
Well, the pilot said that the guy was flying really low, and he was heading for the tower.

100
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:54,040
The obvious thing then would be to point the camera at the airplane and follow it.

101
00:11:54,040 --> 00:12:07,040
Instead, Simonson zooms, zooms, and zooms, framing a shot of the towers.

102
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,040
The airplane image enters the picture within one video frame.

103
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,040
That's 1 30th of a second.

104
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,040
What are the odds of that?

105
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:22,040
By the way, Kai Simonson is not just a reporter for Fox 5.

106
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,040
He also specializes in video compositing.

107
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:38,040
In 2001, he was advertising his services of green screen compositing, helicopter videography, and an AVID system.

108
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:44,040
Exactly the system needed to insert an airplane in real time.

109
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:49,040
What are the odds of that?

110
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:53,040
In any case, check out what happens next.

111
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:58,040
The nose of the airplane appears to pop out the backside of the tower.

112
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:02,040
Exactly the problem that could occur with live compositing.

113
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,040
I offered Mr. Wright this multiple choice.

114
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:14,040
Three of them are the nose of the airplane before it goes into the building.

115
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,040
Three are the nose coming out of the building.

116
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:30,040
Which are which?

117
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:44,040
So how does an engine, or a landing gear, or dust, or anything else become a size and a shape that's indistinguishable from an airplane nose?

118
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:54,040
And not just any airplane nose, but a 767 nose, the very airplane that appears to go into the other side of the tower.

119
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:59,040
I think that the jet flying behind the building cannot be a composite.

120
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,040
And the apparent nose sticking out cannot be the nose of the jet.

121
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,040
It's a piece of debris.

122
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,040
The fact that it has a similar shape is not important.

123
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,040
The key is it's at the wrong time.

124
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:17,040
The computer is moving my red outline along at a very constant, mathematically perfect velocity.

125
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:22,040
It follows the airplane, and then the tracker moves to the other side of the tower, and look what happens.

126
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:32,040
A real airplane, the nose would have popped out right here.

127
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,040
It is true that the airplane image slows down inside the tower.

128
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:43,040
But of course, animated airplanes can be made to slow down, speed up, or do whatever.

129
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:48,040
Mr. Wright's own instructional video from his seminar begins with...

130
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,040
Bang! Instant compositor.

131
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,040
Of all things, a jet airplane.

132
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,040
Here is the motion curve for our horizontal move.

133
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,040
We'll play that back now.

134
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,040
There it slows down.

135
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,040
Comes in quick, slows down at the end of the shot.

136
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,040
Comes in quick, slows down at the end of the shot.

137
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:16,040
Why would the composite traders make the airplane come in quick and slow down at the end of the shot?

138
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,040
To make it more believable.

139
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:30,040
A real plane could not fly through steel and concrete as fast as it flies through air.

140
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:36,040
But wouldn't Kai Simonson have thought to mask off the left half of the screen?

141
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,040
Of course he would.

142
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:43,040
The shot was designed to have the south tower right in the middle.

143
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:48,040
A mask on the airplane layer prevents it from ever escaping the back of the tower.

144
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,040
The plane would begin to disappear behind the edge of the tower.

145
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,040
And the tail would slow down somewhat.

146
00:15:55,040 --> 00:16:01,040
And we would imagine that that was because the nose and wings had impacted the wall.

147
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,040
But...

148
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,040
Helicopters cannot hold still.

149
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,040
They drift.

150
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:11,040
We've already seen that Chopper 5 was late getting into position.

151
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:22,040
The shot begins okay, but the camera drifts far enough so that the back edge of the tower is now outside the mask area.

152
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:28,040
Simonson must have realized his mistake and quickly faded the picture down to black.

153
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:33,040
When picture fades back up, all trace of the nose is gone.

154
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,040
But it was too late.

155
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,040
We saw Pinocchio's nose.

156
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,040
Watch how the air penetrates the building.

157
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:46,040
Completely in one side and out the other.

158
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,040
Just to be sure, there it is.

159
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,040
There it is.

160
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:55,040
The plane went right through the other tower of the World Trade Center.

161
00:16:55,040 --> 00:17:03,040
It's physically impossible for the nose of a Boeing 767 airplane to emerge intact.

162
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,040
Well, how is it?

163
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,040
How do you know that that's impossible?

164
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:11,040
It's hollow, made of plastic, and not designed to withstand any sort of collision.

165
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:17,040
That nose cone there is made of plastic, and it's very easily indebted.

166
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:21,040
They think that a bird hit that nose cone, which again is made of plastic.

167
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,040
It's hollow inside.

168
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,040
It would have had to go through two sets of steel box columns.

169
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,040
It's obviously possible because it happened.

170
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,040
You know, whether or not it can be sufficiently explained is another issue.

171
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,040
There's a lot of things in life that can't be, you know, fully explained.

172
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,040
I mean, how many times have you seen a plane crash into the side of a building?

173
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:50,040
The no plane wide shot and the nose out mistakes in Chopper 5 thrust the compositors, the compositrators, into damage control mode.

174
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,040
Into.

175
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,040
Oh my goodness.

176
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,040
Oh God.

177
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:59,040
A replay of Chopper 5 was attempted on CNN just a few minutes after the fact.

178
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:04,040
But notice how everything is covered up by huge logo graphics.

179
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,040
Into the crash into the other tower of the World Trade Center.

180
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,040
And again, let's, uh, just to be sure, there it is.

181
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,040
There it is.

182
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,040
The plane went right through.

183
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:18,040
Pinocchio's nose had to be explained away with new videos.

184
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:25,040
Here's Gamma Press, shot from the opposite side, the east side, in the morning sunlight.

185
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:32,040
The object is the size and shape of a 767 fuselage, like the Chopper 5 image.

186
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,040
And it appears highly reflective, like it's made of metal.

187
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:43,040
But then, a very bright flame gobbles it up in less than one second and it disappears.

188
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:50,040
Clearly impossible behavior for any sort of metal airplane part.

189
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,040
Later it was discovered that there was no exit wound.

190
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,040
There are zero broken columns in this area.

191
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,040
Any sort of solid object is ruled out.

192
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,040
Enter the dust explosion.

193
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:11,040
This is footage shot by the Nowday Brothers.

194
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:16,040
It doesn't show any metallic cylinder and it looks nothing like the fuselage of an airplane.

195
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,040
They've made it a dust explosion.

196
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:26,040
And the one second that would show the fate of Pinocchio's nose has been edited out.

197
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:33,040
Why would the Nowday Brothers remove that little piece of video?

198
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:38,040
I've inserted black to hold the missing time in the Nowday shot

199
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:47,040
and synchronized it with Chopper 5 and also the CNN live shot which was airing a feed of ABC Chopper 7.

200
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:54,040
All three of these videos have blackouts or missing time within a quarter second of each other

201
00:19:54,040 --> 00:20:20,040
and it's the same time that would show the fate of Pinocchio's nose.

202
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:29,040
What are the odds that this occurred by chance?

203
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:35,040
The Chopper 5 fade to black cannot be any sort of signal interruption.

204
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:39,040
Signal interruptions happen all the time from news choppers,

205
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,040
but they look like this if they're analog,

206
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,040
and they pixelate and freeze if they're digital.

207
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,040
In video, black is a picture.

208
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,040
Video sync in Chopper 5 is never lost.

209
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:58,040
Notice that on Gamma Press and Nowday,

210
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:04,040
Pinocchio's nose casts a very dark shadow across the face of the tower.

211
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,040
But look at Chopper 5.

212
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:16,040
There's no shadow because it's a live composite and the nose was never supposed to pop out like this.

213
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:24,040
The Chopper 5 sequence was never replayed and has never appeared in any of the government documentaries.

214
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,040
They took it and flushed it down the memory hole.

215
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:33,040
While the Chopper 5 was a live video composite with mistakes in it,

216
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:39,040
there were also mistakes made in the edited videos that came later.

217
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:52,040
The clearest image of United Flight 175 going into the South Tower was allegedly shot by amateur Michael Hezarkhani and obtained by CNN.

218
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:58,040
The Hezarkhani footage has come to be known as Ghost Plane and for good reason.

219
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:06,040
The plane appears to pass through steel columns and the steel and concrete floors, like a ghost.

220
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:11,040
It doesn't twist, bend, slow down, break, or explode.

221
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,040
We never see any damage occur to the airplane.

222
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:33,040
After an edit, we see a big airplane-shaped hole.

223
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:39,040
We don't know how much time is missing in this edit, and we never see the hole forming.

224
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,040
This one image gives the game away.

225
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:51,040
The right wing of the plane has passed beyond the wall, yet no damage has occurred.

226
00:22:54,040 --> 00:23:02,040
We know there's plenty enough picture quality to see the big gaping hole if it were there because of this later shot.

227
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:09,040
This is taken with the same camera, same zoom, and we easily see the big dark hole.

228
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:17,040
It's like being in the fourth dimension.

229
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:25,040
Evan Fairbanks shot some very famous footage and appeared on ABC News the night of 9-11.

230
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:29,040
Watch how the aircraft penetrates the building. Go ahead.

231
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,040
Completely in one side and out the other.

232
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:40,040
It just disappeared. It just disappeared like a bad special effect.

233
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:44,040
The airplane did disappear like a bad special effect.

234
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,040
Exactly like a bad special effect.

235
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:58,040
The plane doesn't break, twist, bend, crumple, explode, or even slow down.

236
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:04,040
The building explodes from within, long after the plane appears to go in.

237
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:20,040
A good special effect would have parts exploding and bouncing off and tumbling to the streets below.

238
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,040
I'm not sure it's even possible.

239
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:30,040
I certainly can't animate a realistic airplane crash, but I can do one that's as good as Hezzer Connie.

240
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:39,040
The result is footage that's every bit as convincing as the original ghost plane footage.

241
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,040
Which is to say, not completely convincing.

242
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:49,040
In both shots we don't see any parts of the airplane breaking or bending or twisting.

243
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:58,040
Another thing that was bad about the special effect in Fairbanks is a blatant contradiction with the special effect in Hezzer Connie.

244
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,040
Here's Hezzer Connie.

245
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,040
Here's Hezzer Connie.

246
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,040
And here's Fairbanks.

247
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:14,040
In Hezzer Connie, as the plane enters the tower, the engines turn into puffballs.

248
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:21,040
We are to believe that these are the engines themselves, or building materials, or something.

249
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:31,040
But whatever the puffballs are meant to represent, notice that they are clearly underneath the wings, as the engines were.

250
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,040
Now, look at the Fairbanks video.

251
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:43,040
The location of the wing entrance can easily be marked, and obviously the puffball is well above the left wing.

252
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:55,040
The over-under puffball is irreconcilable with reality, but has an easy explanation in video compositing.

253
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,040
The mask was in the wrong place.

254
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:12,040
In this 3D model, two white spheres represent the location of the puffballs.

255
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:21,040
With the mask in the correct location, the left wing appears to pass over the puffball.

256
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:34,040
Changing only the mask, the left wing now appears to pass under the puffball.

257
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:48,040
They didn't have time to do good special effects.

258
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:54,040
They needed to create airplane composites from a number of different camera angles rather quickly.

259
00:26:54,040 --> 00:27:01,040
With a 3D model, the airplane flight can easily be rendered from any camera angle.

260
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:40,040
There's footage of the tower exploding.

261
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:47,040
But how does the compositor know exactly where in time to place the airplane?

262
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:52,040
A little too early or late would cause a discrepancy with the different angles.

263
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:56,040
How can all the airplane overlays be synchronized?

264
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:02,040
Have you ever wondered why they put a flash and a beep at the beginning of a show?

265
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,040
Or why they use a clapper board at the beginning of a scene?

266
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,040
Mark?

267
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:10,040
It's for synchronization.

268
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:15,040
The audio and video events are very sudden, lasting only one frame.

269
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,040
So, they make for a precise time reference.

270
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:26,040
The twin tower events each featured a bright flash right when the airplane nose appears to meet the tower.

271
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:34,040
The flashes make a very handy marker for where to place the nose of the airplane in both time and space.

272
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:43,040
On all of the prepared airplane layers, there is designated a particular frame to be the one where the plane impacts the tower.

273
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:50,040
In the editing software, the impact frame is moved to line up with the flash frame.

274
00:28:50,040 --> 00:29:04,040
We've seen these images in movies and we know that it's all artificial and Hollywood makes it.

275
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:16,040
Notice that when they showed Fairbanks on ABC, there was no sound.

276
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:24,040
In a speech to the New York Historical Society, Fairbanks blamed the FBI for removing the sound.

277
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:42,040
However, in a later conversation with Jeff Hill, Fairbanks changed his story.

278
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:52,040
Well, I had accidentally turned off the microphone, kind of like an operator error, because it was the first time that I had ever used that camera.

279
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:58,040
And when the Fairbanks footage appeared in the In Memoriam DVD, we heard this.

280
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,040
Sound effects make visual effects more believable.

281
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:16,040
The History Channel website offers more Evan Fairbanks footage and they say it's unfiltered.

282
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,040
It certainly appears to have sound on it.

283
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:22,040
Brian!

284
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaking of sound effects, here's the Hezarkhani footage as it appeared on the DVD, CNN America Remembers.

285
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,040
Oh my God, the plane just crashed into the building.

286
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,040
I cannot believe it.

287
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,040
Oh my God.

288
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,040
I suppose that's Michael Hezarkhani himself talking.

289
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,040
Whoever it is, sounds very close to the microphone.

290
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:51,040
But here's the first time CNN aired the Hezarkhani footage, late on the evening of 9-11.

291
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,040
We hear the same background screaming.

292
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,040
But where's the guy saying,

293
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,040
Oh my God, I can't believe it.

294
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:08,040
A plane flew in the building.

295
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:36,280
Seems like they added that to suggest we ignore the bad special effect and just think airplane.

296
00:31:38,040 --> 00:32:03,540
The compositional characteristics. No plane in the wide shot. Unstable motion. Pinocchio's nose and its missing shadow. Blackouts and suspicious editing. The over-under puffball contradiction. Magically healing columns.

297
00:32:03,540 --> 00:32:10,540
The complete lack of crash physics.

298
00:32:10,540 --> 00:32:15,540
No wake vortex.

299
00:32:15,540 --> 00:32:30,540
Understanding video compositing, both its capabilities and its limitations, goes a long way towards solving 9-11.

300
00:32:30,540 --> 00:32:37,540
It's been proven a number of ways that the Twin Towers were blown to kingdom come.

301
00:32:37,540 --> 00:32:44,540
Still, official story supporters can fool some people by waving their hands and citing government reports.

302
00:32:44,540 --> 00:32:51,540
But all of the various attempts at a collapse theory begin by assuming plane crashes.

303
00:32:51,540 --> 00:33:04,540
No planes at the World Trade Center ends the argument.

304
00:33:04,540 --> 00:33:09,540
The airplane videos that do exist all have reduced picture quality.

305
00:33:09,540 --> 00:33:21,540
And I think that's because reducing the quality is the best way to hide the messy fingerprints of the compositing process.

306
00:33:21,540 --> 00:33:30,540
Because of the live videos, we can rule out not only planes, but any real flying object, like a missile.

307
00:33:30,540 --> 00:33:38,540
To cover up an incoming missile with a fake airplane would require a process called motion tracking.

308
00:33:38,540 --> 00:33:44,540
Software identifies the position of a particular pattern frame by frame.

309
00:33:44,540 --> 00:33:48,540
The same motion can then be applied to another object.

310
00:33:48,540 --> 00:33:54,540
Motion tracking works, but can generate errors that have to be corrected by hand.

311
00:33:54,540 --> 00:33:59,540
In 2001, motion tracking did not work in real time.

312
00:33:59,540 --> 00:34:10,540
Today, real time motion tracking exists, but still is not nearly reliable enough to track an incoming missile.

313
00:34:10,540 --> 00:34:19,540
One small tracking error would cause the airplane image to jump or might reveal the missile underneath.

314
00:34:19,540 --> 00:34:28,540
There's no way the composite traders would even consider trying to cover up an incoming flying object in real time.

315
00:34:28,540 --> 00:34:31,540
Hold on just a moment, we've got an explosion inside.

316
00:34:31,540 --> 00:34:35,540
The gun is exploding right now, you've got people running up the street.

317
00:34:35,540 --> 00:34:38,540
I didn't see a plane go in, that just exploded.

318
00:34:38,540 --> 00:34:40,540
I didn't see any airplane.

319
00:34:40,540 --> 00:34:43,540
Did you see it? Yes, I saw it. It just blew up, a big explosion.

320
00:34:43,540 --> 00:34:47,540
Everything I saw told me it was, it was bombs in the building.

321
00:34:47,540 --> 00:34:49,540
And then the south power just exploded.

322
00:34:49,540 --> 00:34:51,540
The second building went off.

323
00:34:51,540 --> 00:34:53,540
It just, it just blew up.

324
00:34:53,540 --> 00:34:57,540
No second flight, it was a bomb. Bomb in another building, not second flight.

325
00:34:57,540 --> 00:35:05,540
I was underneath it, I was looking at the tower, I had my camera in my hand, I heard the noise, I never saw the airplane.

326
00:35:05,540 --> 00:35:07,540
That was a bomb. Who said the second plane?

327
00:35:07,540 --> 00:35:09,540
I never saw the airplane.

328
00:35:09,540 --> 00:35:12,540
That's what we're told, the second plane, we saw it on television.

329
00:35:12,540 --> 00:35:13,540
No, what I saw everything.

330
00:35:13,540 --> 00:35:14,540
I never saw the airplane.

331
00:35:14,540 --> 00:35:15,540
I didn't see a plane.

332
00:35:15,540 --> 00:35:16,540
I didn't see any airplanes.

333
00:35:16,540 --> 00:35:17,540
It just blew up.

334
00:35:17,540 --> 00:35:18,540
I didn't even know that was a plane.

335
00:35:18,540 --> 00:35:20,540
I learned that from the news media.

336
00:35:20,540 --> 00:35:21,540
No.

337
00:35:21,540 --> 00:35:22,540
We saw it on television.

338
00:35:22,540 --> 00:35:23,540
No.

339
00:35:23,540 --> 00:35:24,540
What I saw everything.

340
00:35:24,540 --> 00:35:25,540
No.

341
00:35:25,540 --> 00:35:26,540
What I saw everything.

342
00:35:26,540 --> 00:35:27,540
We saw it on television.

343
00:35:27,540 --> 00:35:28,540
What I saw everything.

344
00:35:28,540 --> 00:35:29,540
What I saw everything.

345
00:35:29,540 --> 00:35:34,780
We know for certain that the towers were disintegrated with powerful explosives,

346
00:35:35,340 --> 00:35:39,540
that Building 7 was brought down in a classic controlled demolition,

347
00:35:39,980 --> 00:35:46,660
that to start the day off, the media inserted fake airplanes into video and called it news.

348
00:35:46,660 --> 00:35:49,260
Oh my goodness, there's another one.

349
00:35:49,500 --> 00:35:52,900
Completely in one side and out the other.

350
00:35:53,300 --> 00:35:56,900
It just disappeared, it disappeared like a bad special effect.

351
00:35:56,900 --> 00:35:59,140
This much is now proven.

352
00:35:59,940 --> 00:36:05,460
Many 9-11 mysteries have been solved, but perplexing human questions remain.

353
00:36:08,420 --> 00:36:15,460
Since there is such indisputable evidence, how did the perpetrators get away with this?

354
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,860
Why do most people support the official story?

355
00:36:19,860 --> 00:36:27,220
And even within the 9-11 truth movement, why is there such venomous conflict?

356
00:36:27,720 --> 00:36:34,080
Discussion of the airplane hoax is forbidden on almost all 9-11 truth sites.

357
00:36:34,980 --> 00:36:35,920
Why?

358
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:40,960
Why is the truth movement such a catastrophic failure?

359
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,000
It's mildly encouraging.

360
00:36:42,180 --> 00:36:47,280
I believe that we're beginning to appreciate that it's in our interest that we should know the truth well.

361
00:36:47,660 --> 00:36:48,380
That is traumatic.

362
00:36:48,380 --> 00:36:49,900
Well, that was a request for correction.

363
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:56,440
And as I was reflecting on your plane, it occurred to me a final...
