• Quick note - the problem with Youtube videos not embedding on the forum appears to have been fixed, thanks to ZiprHead. If you do still see problems let me know.

Well, how about that. 911research moved the file. No telling how many links that spiteful little pull messed up. This is no way to run a "truth" movement.

I guess its back because the link works now (save as). But this brings up an idea I had. Why not use a graphic map of the area surrounding the trade center footprint and use it to make a web page with an image map to links of videos? Or pictures even? That way people can get an idea of what corner of what building had damage and from what street video clips or images were shot from. Image maps are fairly easy really. You might want to put placemarks or icons on the image map however so you wouldn't have to hunt with mouse overs.

Oh I could do the image map. Just I'm not certain of some of the video locations.
cept for that one above,
would be nice to be accurate to within say ten feet or so

Yes, there must be better ways to organize images, data, even concepts.

I think the web software running this forum is awesome, and aids the discussion, but it still is very cumbersome to manage all the individual eveidence items.

That shouldn't be too hard. Between New Yorkers familiar with the area and people like me who can do photographic interpretation, it should be pretty straight forward lining up the angle of view on each shot.

IT could get tricky with some of the tighter shots as there's less stuff in frame to make a comparison from, so although you could work out the direction pin pointing an actual distance away could be hard or even impossible.

...actually, not that impossible now I think of it. Even professional news gathering cameras only have so much zoom on them. All of the close up footage would have to be fairly close to the WTC, even if it was on the long end of the zoom.
