NYPD Helicopter video of 9/11 attack surfaces

Quote:
A newly released video shows the Sept. 11 World Trade Center attack from the vantage point of a NYPD helicopter.

According to Gawker, the National Institute of Standards and Technology requested the 17-minute video through the Freedom of Information Act, and the video was sent anonymously to the secret-sharing website Cryptome, which posted it. The Institute investigated the 9/11 attacks.

A warning to readers: The video, posted below, is difficult to watch--and voices on the soundtrack can be heard cursing as the horrific attack unfolds.

Guess this is new? I can't get it to play. Anyone else?

As usual, the retards spew in the comments section.

It's YouTube. You can put a video of practically anything there and some degenerate will sully it with puerile commentary.

Anyway, it was known ahead of time that helicopter rescue on the Towers was impossible, particularly after the 1992 bombing. The doors to the roof were actually locked.

When you're building's on fire, don't head for the roof. Just get out. Do whatever you have to do to get out.

Despite this, one aviation unit actually tried to land atop one of the towers, but had to call off the attempt after its engines overheated from the incredible fires below. That aircrew could have died, attempting something that was practically impossible and probably futile. Heroes indeed.

If memory serves, There was also no place to set the helicopter down, It was a sea of antennas

It's a news item today on Germany's most important online news journal, Der Spiegel online:
http://www.spiegel.de/panorama/gesel...749605,00.html

The discussion to that article keeps me busy right now, as users are busy linking to pilots4truth, Harrit's utterings etc.

Here in Sweden one of the major tabloids reports that the video was obtained by NIST via a FOIA-request. Does anyone know if this is correct? (I can't understand why NIST would FOIA for such a general video 2011)

Also, Israeli tv (queue antisemitic truther) had snippets of the same sequence, posted on Youtube in 2008:

Everyone is copying that from a blogger who had his head up his ass.

NIST orginally got the tape from the NYPD, NIST released the tape pursuant to a FOIA request. The blogger conflated the two.

Parts of the videos where broadcast a long time ago on one of the cable networks, where they also interviewed the crew. They showed the part right after 2 collapsed.

I do like how it's now been blown into "the tape was leaked".

What do they say about "news on the internet"?

The shots of the tops of the Towers was pretty much round the Net.
One dweeb claimed that it couldn't be true because all aircraft were grounded.. :-(

Japanese newspapers report that this video was leaked by someone.

But as far as I figured out, this video is a result of FOIA request. Not leaked.
Am I correct?

Does one cop say "They brought the freakin' tower down!"? If so then I can't want until that quote is dragged out of context because it's obvious that "they" refers to the NWO.

He says "knocked" which hardly is consistent with nano-thermite. I don't think he got the memo.

The only thing that's leaking out is the last bit of intelligence and integrity in the 9/11 Truth movement.
Not that there was much to begin with.....

I just got thru with a truther who wet himself about Danny Jowenko's opinion, and yet when confronted with the opinion of Brent Blanchard (who was actually at GZ during rescue and cleanup) he responded 'Blanchard is in the secret handshake club. He is a puppet and will say what he is told to say.' What an ass.

Actually that doesn't seem to be the case. In 1993, after the bombing, for example, a number of people were evacuated from the building by helicopter from the roof, and the NYPD helicopter clearly intended to access the building via the roof; prior to departing they loaded up with specialist equipment and FDNY personnel for specifically that purpose.

However as the helicopter hovered over the building the heat from the fires was so extreme that the helicopter's engines rapidly started to overheat, and the pilot had no choice but to leave the area.

Thanks for the correction. This is the picture I was thinking of:




Other pictures show the south tower roof being much clearer.

IIRC NIST used frames from these videos to illustrate the sagging floors.(and tagged them as coming from NYPD videos)

,,,, but of course most 9/11 conspiracists have never bothered with anything NIST has put out beyond the FAQs page.

Possibly a greater sense of awareness of terrorism to Americans?

Prior to 9/11, not many people really understood it. Sure, you had the OKC bombing, the WTC in 93, and even Columbine...but we tended to throw a bandaid fix on the issues and move on. 9/11 forced us to recognize our shortcomings and move to make some real adjustments.

Did the attacks benefit Terrorism? I don't think so. Many terrorists sects needed the obscurity to be successful. They are never going to get that level of "hiding-in-plain-sight" in North America again.
