The debunkers would like people to believe that it's because the images are low quality that the nose out looks like the nose in. The truth is, it's the compression artefacts that are causing the slight differences, and the hi-res originals might show that the two are identical.
,,,and you know this how? Because you have seen hi-res orginals? I thought you said they were on VHS tape which is hardly hi-res in the first place.
Is the engine facing forwards or backwards as the cloud of dust and debris follows in its wake?
What the H difference would that make?
So if you fire a bullet into a sack of flour, some of the flour will come out of the other side in the shape of the bullet?
In fact if you look at hi-res video of such things the trailing dust does follow the path of the bullet. The bullet looks like a bullet, the dust looks like a dust trail, and that dust trail follows the wake air flow of the bullet which tapers behind the bullet. In the case of the engine the dust does not look like a bullet, the engine looks like an engine (a basically cylindical object) with dust behind it. Why are you now trying to say that the dust preceeded the engine out the building?
Check out "Flour shot 2" on
this page and pause it as the bullet exits the right side of the screen. What I see is a thin trail of flour along the path of the bullet and an elliptical flour dust cloud elongated along the path of the bullet.
You will, I expect, notice that there is an 'explosion' of flour following this moment immediatly after the bullet's passage, but of course this is a case of a homogeneous full bag of flour, very much unlike the towers which were largely air filled. The pressure build up in the bag of flour caused by the bullet's shock wave is what produces that 'explosion' of flour. In denser fluids such as the many other high speed bullet videos of fruit or soda cans being hit, this pressure will have an even greater effect in that explosion like event, and because of the greater mass of the particles and the fact that those particles are bonded to each other to begin with, there will be less or no trailing effect seen with dry dust particulates.
I can think of several ways that only one destination for a video source could be affected but I doubt that bard wants to hear them.
But is there any evidence for them? Are any of them even plausible?
Plausible: It happens quite often that the wrong video source gets inadvertantly switched during a live, or live to tape, broadcast. If you watch network news you will see this occur often enough. ONE of the inputs on every switcher I have ever seen and/or worked with is 7.5 IRE black, another is colour bars.
Plausible: With an RF feed from a remote if that RF feed is interrupted due to loss of power in the receiver the signal goes black. Video processors may have a selection that goes to black rather than show a picture that is rolling or horizonatlly skewed in the case of RF interference between TX and RX. If there is RF interference of sufficient power the AGC of the reciever will drive the RF gain down as far as it can and no useful information will pass through the reciever, the reciever then outputs black or the switcher senses a loss of video and outputs black.\
Plausible: The Master Control automation had a switcher event that did not get cancelled when all of this began and when the TOD for that event came up it did what dumb computers do. It followed the last orders it had and switched to that source, at which source, of course, there was no video due to the day's events thus BLACK.
Yesterday we were taking a satellite feed from a national broadcaster. This was a clean feed of a movie (no logos, no commercials, there is ten seconds of black between segments) that we would broadcast later and although the audio was continuous, the video blanked out and went to black and came back a second or two later. This occured a few seconds before each break. (as I said the audio continued and the video came back, these were not the actual breaks) We called and were told that we were not the only station to alert them to the problem with this feed. A re-feed was set up and that went according to plan. YOU will never see that occur because this WAS NOT live. We did not get an explanation from Global TV as to why or how this happened and we don't ask. We don't need to know, we don't give a rat's south end why or how it happened, yet it is very similar to what you are complaining about with the Chopper video.
In fact something like this happens every week from once source or another, the video goes black, the audio goes silent, or only one track of audio is present, or a show segment gets sent twice with one segment missing (I.E. seg1,
seg2, seg2, seg4, seg5,...) or the event gets missed completely. We never get an explanation for any of this, just a re-feed.
If its our screw-up we have to pay for a re-feed, if its on the other end the re-feed is free.
Any more questions?
