See all those boats, ships, ferries and pleasure boats in the water - all of whom have a lovely view of downtown Manhattan.
Well, it's like this ... I'm an east coaster .. and have spent considerable time in NYC ...I've been on the ferry and experienced the gorgeous views ... both summer and winter. And there is nothing quite like the dogs and kraut steaming on the street side carts on a cold winter day. I've dined at great little Italy restaurants, and finished off dinner with cannolis and an espresso at Farrars (sp?) afterward. Believe it or not, I've actually been in both of the Towers!!! Imagine that! I remember ... though not exactly which trip or what year ... buying a lotto ticket in the plaza underneath the WTC. This was notable to me because it just so happened that this particular lottery was one of the biggest in NY history at the time (1980's), as I recall ... about 40 Million. Back in those days, you got two numbers for a dollar ... an A & B chance. I wound up with all 6 numbers, 3 on the A, and 3 on the B. Wasn't worth a dime, but I actually did have all six numbers on that 1 dollar ticket. So yes, I'm somewhat familiar with the city ... I spent upwards of 60 weeks in NJ over a 4 year period for "education" ... and most weekends were spent in the city. from Greenwich Village to China Town ... I'm not a local ... but I've spent a little time there.

And I've had a couple of very close friends that were born and raised Bronx, hard core NYC boys ... fact is, we're still close though rarely get a chance to speak, let alone see one another these days. But I did talk with them a few years back ... guess what? They knew back then that 911 was a BS story ... and they told me that the majority of the NYPD cops know it ... the NYFD firemen know it .. everybody knows it!!!

How do you like them apples?

Consider the thousands of local residents, some living right across the street. Some of them would certainly leave their buildings to see what was happening.

Consider people working in the WFC and surrounding buildings. They too would leave their buildings, or arrive in the area and stay on the streets, not knowing what to do, or where to go. People who worked in nearby buildings didn't bother to go to work. They waited to see what they should do.

All these people would have seen the second plane.
Like I said ... I've spent considerable time in the city ... and I'd say that from the street level, unless you were in a particularly advantageous spot, you'd never know that the WTC towers were even there. That's the thing with NYC ... so many tall buildings ... you'd not be able to see the towers from the ground at 95% of the places one might be standing in Manhattan. So, for those unfamiliar ... it's a myth that EVERYONE in NYC had this birds eye view of the Towers. You could be as far as 50 blocks away and catch a peak .. or 5 blocks away and not see a thing. That's a fact. You could literally be 5 blocks away and not know which direction to walk toward the Towers if you didn't know where you were going.

I'm sure you don't. No need for evidence ... when the belief is so strong, aye?

Look ... there are Millions of people convinced that planes hit the Towers. Not a single one of them actually saw a passenger jet hit the towers because not one actually did.

Wrong again, Ranger.

Most of who are demonstrably commenting on things that are as outside their competence as they are of a jewelers. This becomes evident when you scratch the veneers and look at exactly who most of these people actually are.

But the irony here is your repeated attempt to dismiss the arguments of people who clearly know more than you do (and who are demonstrably more honest and rational) by bloviating about their "credibility."

You... the guy who can't tell the difference between a "thermic lance" and anything that actually has something to do with thermite.

You... the guy who insists that molten aluminum always looks "silvery."

You... the guy who apparently knows less about DNA analysis than the average adolescent fan of stupid TV cop shows like CSI.

You... the guy who actually had the temerity to insist that because he was a jeweler he could perform miracles of long distance metallurgical analysis that no competent metallurgist would pretend.

You are the guy on this thread... so you are the one whose history of incompetent and idiotic falsehoods are being dissected. When those other guys show up, we'll give them the same loving attention.

Do we need to do the math again to point out the tiny fraction of genuine professionals in relevant fields that agree with you? I mean, slaying the already slain is what we do here.

So we can if you need us to.

And the blackest of black smoke was not affected by this "overexposure"? I'd say some techie used a WTC shot that was taken in the sun as his model- ooops.

You obviously know nothing about photography.... Overexposure effects the highlights of the subject.....The lighter the color the more apt it is to be blown and detail lost in the lighter areas, so no the smoke could not be effected unless all detail was lost in the rest of the image.

the 'shaddows' are not really an issue. first it is a shiny surface that looks bright/dull depending on the angle














and let's not forget that the plane parts were found

Do you spend your days arguing with the guy talking to himself and drooling on the street corner? I think you are doing the equivalent here.
