I mean... It tells me what you believe. I have no idea how you resolve it, it makes absolutely no sense to me. Do you have any idea just how much the towers stood out? How far away they could be seen?

OK, I picture myself in NYC on the morning of 9/11. I hear that something hit one of the towers and it is on fire with tons of smoke pouring out of it. I happen to have a camera or video recorder and point it up there. I film an explosion with no planes at the second tower. It is being carried live on pretty much every channel on TV and radio and they are all claiming something that is completely wrong... I know it, I have evidence of it.

You know what I'm thinking? Holy shit! I've got to make copies right now and get them everywhere I can and get the original safe. No question about it, I am not handing over my only copy to anyone... hell, I'm not even telling anyone that might report it until I'm sure there are lots of copies out there. I'm sending it to foreign news agencies, anyone I can think of because it is obvious there is something massive going on.

I really don't consider myself paranoid but that is pretty much exactly what I would do. Having grown up right outside of NYC, I feel pretty comfortable that a lot of people in that area, in the same situation would react exactly the same. Would some immediately hand it over to authorities? Sure, no doubt but there would be plenty that would not.

The effort required to stop such a picture/video or knowledge of such from getting out would have to be so massive, everyone... EVERYONE in NYC that day would be completely aware of such effort. Eight years later and not one person is brave enough to come forward and say something?

Sorry, but I honestly have no idea how you account for this.
