Wow! You guys play at an event called "Alcoholocaust"... why didn't I think of that name for a party before?

eta: I am so going to steal that name!

It is Urban slang, first published around 1996, in the SFBMA Dictionary.

Gibson got the term from bike messengers in SF.

"And sometimes she'd wind up clean, what they called it when you didn't have any deliveries, and that could be great too, just go over to the Alcoholocaust or one of the other messenger bars and drink espresso until Bunny paged her."

Oh and Ace I'll join your little experiment. But I'll need something better than a youtube. Something like a couple of quicktimes, that can be FTP'd and downloaded. I'll be looking at them on an Avid Adrenaline, with an engineering grade monitor.

Oh and you'll get course credit if you use technology available in 2001 not later, and serious course credit if you do it real time.

But please all rough work and calculations must be demostrated using the work book provided.

Well, they found a piece of fuselage on the roof of WTC5, in October I believe. Unfortunately, the Sept 23 aerial photo doesn't show the piece.

Also, you've got that landing gear on the sidewalk underneath the tarp. It would have had to fly over two buildings, and bounce into that position. There don't seem to be any scars caused by the bouncing landing gear. And the videos don't show any landing gear flying out of the building.

Then you've got the miracle passport. Even Frank Greening has said he's suspicious about that one.

Or perhaps you couldn't find the piece. Not surprising when you consider the fact that it would have been covered in dust and surrounded by other debris, and was about 6ft long.

The landing gear in the street was from Flight 11, there were witnessess to the exit of this piece: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7akMaVDeH4

"I looked out of the window and saw what appeared to be an enormous tire smash into the ground"

Miracle passport? I guess they had miracle plane seats as well. And miracle envelopes containing mail, miracle UA Milage cards belonging to passeners, etc, which also survived.

That's a nice link.

Lots of weird things. The logo covers up where the nose out would be, so you can't tell. There is a double beep sound 17 seconds before the plane hits. It sounds like it could be a sync pop. In scoring to picture, we always put sync pops at the head and tail, as a reference mark to make sure sound and picture elements line up properly.

In fact, September Clues has put together all of the live shots, and they all have some sort of audio glitch at 17 seconds before. Coincidence?

And of course, we have Don Dahler saying he didn't see a plane, that "the building just exploded".

I can see the debris above the logo. Here is the BBC link, the debris is visible here as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45fZlX1ZCU0

In the ABC footage I hear a beep 14 seconds before impact, not 17. I don't hear any audio glitches in the BBC footage.

Don Dahler was only 4 blocks south of the WTC, the plane would have been completely blocked by the buildings from his vantage point.


Are you not even going to pass comment on these?

Obvious signal disruption where you claimed a simple fade to black:

Is Ace still saying that live insertion technology on a film shot via unstable helicopter-borne hand-held camera was possible in 2001 ?

For him, correcting an error is quite simply impossible.

9/11 is not a game. Real people died when the planes crashed.

I think this is the main problem with the truth movement. It bothers me more than anything else about Avery and the like. They find it so easy to discount these deaths and write them off. Human life loss is real, and for them to spew pentagon bull parallels with holocaust denying and the like. How does he point a finger at a family and say "Your (family member) did not die. You have been lied to. Check my cool site to see how and grab a T-Shirt while you're there."

Exactly. And they are using the victims' family members themselves, which is utterly sickening, like that poor girl Sabrina and the late Dan Wallace. They are literally abusing them, using their trauma to advance their sick theories and political agenda.

This shows how the Twoofers are morally bankrupt.
