Update re: the WNYWFOX5 archive affair
I have e-mailed Jeff (of the official TV archives) once again to ask him about the blanked out 43 minutes of their all-important first (58-min) part of the WNYWFOX5 morning broadcasts of 9/11.
Dear Jeff,
While wishing you a Happy New Year, I am sending you a video analysis of mine I released yesterday:

I am sure you realize that if, as you say,"that's how it was given to us" (the WNYW FOX5 9/11 footage), the question is: WHY did FOX's Dennis Swanson give you a truncated / blanked out version of their very own 9/11 footage? What exactly is going on here? And what does this say about your 9/11 TV archives credibility?
Thanks for a kind reply.

So you may ask: WHY did FOX's Dennis Swanson even bother to turn up at the 9/11 archives (as late as August 2011!) to give them a truncated version of their horrendous/blooper-packed WNYW broadcasts? Please keep in mind that Swanson's official morning footage goes blank after only 15 minutes - yet it includes the infamous NOSE-OUT shot. Now, you may remember that one of my points in September Clues was that no plane was visible in the wide shot, just before the three zoom-in motions preceding the NOSE-OUT disaster. You may also recall that Anthony Lawson (maker of "September Clues Busted") later came up with a never-seen-before-version of the wide shot in which a tiny blob ("Flight 175", no doubt!
) was visible. Well, this blob (which is TOTALLY ABSENT in all of the four clips I've collected over the years of the NOSE-OUT sequence), is now
also visible in the official "Dennis Swanson version" recently uploaded on the TV archives...
Feel free to download this version of mine of the NOSE-OUT sequence - and see if you can find that blob:

If you take the time to compare the Archive version with my version - you will see that this can hardly be a matter of video resolution. The small fly-by choppers, for instance, are perfectly visible on my version. So have WNYWFOX5 gone to all this trouble - finally making public (some) of their 9/11 footage - only to insert "Flight175" into that wide shot? I don't know. What I
do know, is that some dude has been bombarding me with a string of e-mails lately, urging me to look up that blob on the TV archives - and insisting that I should address the issue...
Surely, my e-mail 'stalker' will now return the favor...and address the NOSE-OUT issue itself? :
