Anyone..
know where I can find links to a bunch of news reports covering the 9/11 attacks? I'm talking long clips of live news coverage.

I have looked and have found minimal data on this. Could they be being withheld because they may contain reports of happening that might fly in the face of the 'offical' story?



**this is a post over from the general discussion forum at someone's suggestion**


THANKS

1. You can't
The networks won't release any footage from the days following 9/11, and so all existing footage was recorded by the public on that day. Some people have tried to compile public recordings, but no site that I know of has put them up for download. Your best bet is mainstream and underground 9/11 videos that you would probably have to buy.

3. check this out:
http://www.maebrussell.com/9-11/Dear%20World%20Watcher.html

While reviewing my 8 hours of tapes I made some discoveries! The footage includes:

* Eyewitnesses describe a 727, 737, or "the smaller plane" crash into the North Tower. Nobody describes it as a Boeing 767 as American Airlines later claimed it to be.


(This obvious discrepancy in size is not mentioned in "9/11 - In Plane Site.")

* At 11:07am (eastern time) CNN's Aaron Brown talks with CNN's Alan Dodds Frank who is in lower Manhattan. Frank apparently reports that there was another explosion or building collapse 2 or 3 minutes ago. He says it happened at about 10:45 (his time is off by about 20 minutes). He says it fell 15 minutes after the collapse of the North Tower (10:28) and a firefighter estimated 50 stories fell. When viewing this clip notice that Brown doesn't ask which building fell; why it fell; or, were there people in or around the building. When Frank is done with his report Brown casually moves on and changes the subject! Shortly after this conversation the clock underneath the CNN logo disappears and is never displayed again.

* Early footage of the Pentagon before the wall and roof collapsed. Firemen hose down the fire that can be seen inside the building through the windows. One guy with a broom is sweeping. (Where is the plane?)

* KTVU Channel 2 (local Oakland, Calif. station) correspondent Mike Majchrowitz reports live from the Pentagon. He says that a little after 10am the smoke seemed to be going down and then there was a set of explosions and it turned black again. He also says he hasn't yet seen an eyewitness to the crash.

* C-span interviews a Pentagon employee in her car. She says, "The building shook. I was in the building and that last bomb threat they just had, it shook the building. I left."

* CNN's Jamie McIntyre reports live from the Pentagon. He says there's no evidence of a plane having crashed anywhere near the Pentagon; no large sections of wing, tail, or fuselage visible.

* Clear views of the front of the Pentagon show a clean green lawn with no craters, skid marks, or plane wreckage. Many tall street lamps can be seen all over the place that don't appear to be broken or bent.

* Even though there is a freeway in plain view of the Pentagon explosion, in all my news footage from that day the only witnesses who claimed to see a plane crash were from over-the-phone reporters quoting nameless, faceless people – with one exception: CNN interviewed Mike Walter at the scene (close-up on his face) who said he was in his car stuck in traffic when he saw a plane fly by low and crash into the side of the building. He says parts of the plane are on the overpass. He also says, "And the toughest thing for me right now is I've got a 14 year-old daughter, and a lot of her friends have parents who work in the Pentagon. And I just talked to her on the phone and those kids are going through agony; they don't know if they're okay. So it's tough. I mean this really hits home." Walter shows signs of starting to cry. And by the way, Walter just happens to be a reporter for USA Today.


Also, the sentence from Walter's story "I mean it was like a cruise missile with wings went right there and slammed right into the Pentagon" is excerpted and included, out of context, in the video "9/11 - In Plane Site" to help substantiate the theory that a missile (or "bunker buster") flew into the building. That's not really what he said.

(Just between you and me, I don't believe a plane, missile, helicopter, or UFO from the planet Krypton slammed into the Pentagon. I think old-fashioned bombs did it. This idea of a missile is reminiscent of what Jim Garrison refers to as a "false sponsor" in his book On the Trail of the Assassins.)

* From a helicopter ABC News shows us the onlookers on the nearby overpass.

* The initial report of hijackers with knives and box-cutters on Flight 77 allegedly came from Barbara Olson using a phone on the plane. She just happened to be married to Solicitor General Ted Olson who argued President Bush's election case before the Florida State Supreme Court in 2000. What a small world.

* A witness, live, at the Trade Center adamantly tells a Fox News reporter that he saw everything and no second plane crashed into the South Tower, but a bomb had exploded.


Question #1) How can somebody witness a Boeing 767 jet smash through a building and not know it was a plane? Even if his eyes were closed wouldn't he know?

Question #2) Why were the video shots of Flight 175 making impact on the back side of the South Tower not aired until after 4:30 pm, when everything else was shown to us quickly, if not live?

Question #3) Why is there no noticeable plane wreckage seen falling from the front, back, or side of the South Tower?

* After 5pm many of the news stations began airing video clips of the 47-story WTC #7 collapsing. Nobody bothers to mention that this was obviously a controlled demolition; no apparent damage to the building as it falls like a house of cards.

* Video footage of the Flight 93 crash site at Shanksville, Pennsylvania shows nothing but a ditch, smoke, and some broken trees.

* Fox News reporter Jeff Goldblatt interviews a photographer, live, at the Shanksville crash site. The photographer says all he could see was a 10ft. x 15-20ft. ditch and some broken trees. "Nothing that you could distinguish that a plane had crashed there."

* Take a good hard look at the witnesses being interviewed throughout the day who claim to have seen planes crash into buildings. Could these people be actors? With some emphasis on mocking New Yorkers and New York-based movies and TV shows?

* CNN shows close-up footage of the front side damage to the North Tower before the collapse. Much of the left side of the "airplane hole" is unbroken. Also, some of the building surrounding the damage seems to be splintering outward and not inward.


(Fake pictures on the internet show a larger and more believable hole in the building. And to add to the entertainment they even threw in some people standing in the hole!)

* At 4:04pm eastern time MSNBC shows us a wide shot of the Trade Center. As Brian Williams tells us about Barbara Olson there is suddenly an explosion near the top of the Woolworth building at the left of screen. What caused this?


Question #4) Why do many of the researchers and "experts" of Sept. 11 (some who like to use a lot of big impressive words) respond to this evidence with a very loud sound of silence?

* Wide shots of the city shortly after the collapse of the South Tower.


Question #5) Did only one plane and one building cause this amount of smoke and dust we see pouring over Manhattan, or is something else going on here?

* Wide shots of the city shortly after the collapse of the North Tower.


Question #6) Did only two planes and two buildings cause this amount of smoke and dust we see pouring over Manhattan, or is something else going on here?

* The words "pandemonium," "chaos," and "billows" are used profusely throughout the day by many of the news correspondents and witnesses (almost comical!). A witness who claimed to see the second plane crash into the South Tower describes: "Absolute pandemonium. . . I could see people running like ants."


Question #7) Could these words, as used throughout the day, actually have some deep hidden meaning?

* CNN's Judy Woodruff looks into the camera and says, "And Aaron this may be another point when we want to say God bless the souls of those who have losttheir lives today, or who are dying. As we speak, in hospitals and in places where they cannot be reached, I think even those out there who may not believe that there is a god, at a time like this we all reach out for a higher being and we want to believe that there is someone who can bring us salvation."


Question #8) Why will many of the 9/11 investigators, "experts," authors, filmmakers, website hosts, and lecturers never in a million years encourage the public to study the 9/11 news coverage as it was aired that day?


(At one point htis guy was offering to sell the footage but I don't see this message anymore)

fuselage on West Street.

ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER STEPHEN GREGORY FDNY airplane was military type & green

I saw airplane parts on West Street. Q. How did you know they were airplane parts?
A. It looked like pieces of a plane, skin of a plane. I mean, they weren't really discernible. I couldn't say this was this part of a plane or that was that part. Just knowing a plane had hit the building and I looked and I saw it looked like the skin off a wing or a fuselage or wherever it came from. Q. Clearly not building material? A. No. The building material was sort of gray and you could see it, you know, how it differed from the plane. I was listening to the tape this morning of the people calling up and they were describing the
plane that hit the building. Actually, so many people saw it. They actually described the plane as it came in. They said it was a military-type plane and it was green and it was this. I mean, I never saw the color of the plane.



But a lot of Firemen at the WTC site reported seeing the second plane hit WTC2. And at least 2 said it was big jet.

Right now I'd believe them over the one you mention. But there were no clear identifications. I doubt they were all part of a cover-up.

There do seem to be some questionable witnesses, especially at the Pentagon. But there were lots of firemen at WTC and its unlikely many gave false reports. Though some were likely confused/conflicted. Its clear they had discussions and watched the news, which clearly influenced their statements, causing some to doubt what they saw, heard, or experienced. The news clearly affected the language used.
