on 9/11 Isn't it strange that with all the tourists with cameras there is only one clip of the first plane

Question

hitting the north tower. you would think that somebody else would have captured it.

Answer 1

I am totally against terrorism and think 9/11 was one of the biggest attacks.

I don’t believe Al-Qaeda was behind it, I think the Government are the real terrorists, If you just type in 9/11 re visited into video Google you will find a bulk amount of documentaries that are not similar to the one you watched on channel 4. The documentary on channel 4 is just a cover up, the planes didn’t take the buildings down and neither did the fire. If the fire took the building down then why didn’t the top half collapse instead? Witnesses heard bombs which were in fact heavy duty explosives which are used to demolition building in a controlled demolition.

Answer 2

No not really I think we were luck that one photo exists after all what are the chances that someone at that very moment would be looking up at the towers with their cameras on waiting for a plane to hit the building so that they can get the perfect shot...

Answer 3

Common sense mate, you dont expect a plane to fly into a building, although it can and did happen. Ok if there was only one shot of the plane crashing then other people were taking pictures at a lower level. Just remember the hight of those buildings. These things happen, there could have only been one person carrying a camera at the time and they took a shot of it, and you can have thousands of people and all have cameras and not one picture of it at all, that's sods law.

Answer 4

I doubt that many tourists with cameras in New York City on that morning would have been expecting a plane to fly into the WTC, Chances are, they were busy looking at all the other skyscrapers and taking photos of many other things. I don't think it's strange at all that there weren't any other photos.

Answer 5

That one is probably the best quality - plus I don't think tourists are going to be showing it off any time soon with great happiness. 9/11 was a tragedy - I don't think many people would have WANTED to film it - that's kinda sick. There could also be horrendous films from people IN the towers who managed to get out. I don't like your question - I think it is rather sick - why would you want more than one? But I gave you a fair answer.

Answer 6

DUMAS , do you think that everybody had their cameras pointing at the tower , expecting something to happen ? When the second plane hit , it was only because they were filming the first tower that it was caught on tape .

Answer 7

I think that's fair...it was a complete surprise to the people standing by the areas of the tower...but now that I see all these movies about the happenings before they hit..it makes me so mad all the information they had...and they probably could have avoided it. They knew they had an aviation terror plot comming..."oh they did not want to panic us"...well.."Panic" was not the word..when they just let it go ahead and happen!

Answer 8

Are there usually many tourists taking photos at 8:45am on a week day? What's your point? The government rounded up all the tourists and took their cameras then somehow convinced the people to keep it a secret?

Answer 9

Why? When I'm a tourist... I don't point my camera permanently up at the sky on the offchance that a plane may fly into a building....

What you really have to ask yourself why a clip at all?

Answer 10

for the same reason you never get a witness to an accident. it is the noise of the accident that makes the person look , they are not waiting for it to happen so any shots of the first plane will have been a background shot of something else and probably not a clear shot.
