RE: "Sherlock, "suspicious" is the word you might have been looking for."
Suspicious for sure, that goes without saying, but amazing that of all the video shot that day, none of it was released with the original sound recordings intact. That to me is amazing. The level of control over the media implied by scrubbing ALL of the audio from ALL of the tapes, to insure no one but eye witnesses ever hear what the three imploded buildings sounded like, is incredible.
Awhile back I went through a bunch of personal blogs to find eye witness accounts of the attacks. These weren't conspiracy theory sites, just people feeding the cat before heading for work and the like. Virtually every account by a person close enough to hear explosions, told of hearing explosions. The closer they were, the more violent the noise levels they described. The one that stuck in my mind after watching some of the implosion clips you posted was a fellow who said something along the lines of, "It wasn't anything like you saw on the news with the building silently falling to the ground. It was ear shattering.".
RE: "As in it is mighty damn suspicious that the FBI has never released the video tapes it confiscated around the Pentagon."
More suspicious that the FBI knew where each and every one of those cameras were located, and were practically standing on the tapes as soon as they recorded the attack. From what I understand, in the time it took to take the tape out of the camera, put it in a VCR and rewind it, the FBI was in the room confiscating the evidence. Rather impressive response time, especially considering this is the outfit so riddled with inefficiencies it was unable to pick up on a bunch of coked up Arabs, on terrorist watch lists, making a spectacle of themselves. If they didn't know where the plane would hit, which cameras were likely to capture the strike, or what the film might show, it's a bit hard to account for why it would instantly become a crash priority to obtain the tapes. That clip would have become a rather valuable piece of property to be deprived of without anything resembling due process. The Naudette brothers made a small fortune on their plane crash tape.
It's too bad there isn't more energy going into the release of evidence we know exists. |
