Watching MSMBC on footage on 9/11
doest anyone know the width of the world trade center and the wingspan of of the plane that crashed into the center?
I don't remember the video they are showing, but the proportions between the plane and the tower and the distance is strange. Does not look real, as if there was a mixture of wide angle superposed on long-angle lenses at the same time?

1. SO MANY UNASKED AND UNANSWERED QUESIONS
FAR FAR TOO MANY

2. Everything sounds so scripted
My father was an Air Traffic Controller during the cold war and there were many scambles, apparently ATC warned of some strange stuff but no scramble. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but what they are showing now seems strange or not logical.

3. It's still upsetting to watch
I'm watching it now, and had a mini panic attack when the second plane hit "live." It showed an angle I hadn't seen before, where it looked like the plane was actually flying in from the top of the screen and flying downward, towards the tower. You could see it probably 6+ seconds just flying straight toward the tower. It's still awful.

I notice some other things, too, like how it does look like the top of the first tower did look like it was starting to lean (one of the commentators mentioned it, but didn't go further and suggest that people should get out ASAP...even though maybe that was obvious?). Also, it was interesting how one of the guys said that he spoke to intelligence folks and they said they had "no idea" that anything like this was going to happen, even though we all know about that (in)famous memo?

I guess they're about to show them collapse soon......

4. I'm talking about the image of the plane actually crashing into the tower
One time Hopi (my belated German Shepard) were driving from Roswell to Albuquerque. Saw what I thought was a large falcon ahead in less than a second or so I could count the rivets of a fighter plane flying slightly above the telephone poles and the truck (Hopi was schrinched as far as she could into the back seat), there was no sonic boom since it was flying below Mach 1 (probably the same speed as an airliner 500 knots at most), but still the change from very small to seeing the rivets was as short or shorter than the video they showed wherein the plane was was very big within a second. It should have been much smaller before it got as big as it did in the time shown on the video, this troubles me.
