The Real 911 Smoking Gun (Joe Craine Cut)
Reorganized, new scenes added, including some amateur. Please see watch?v=1G6TQfIHJPo for the amateur and a pointer to the source. 2JOHNNYT suggested this sidebar needed work. I thank him and here is my adjustment. The CBS "chopper" revolved around WTC1 on the west side from slghtly south of WTC1 to slightly north. An amazing thing happened as the chopper reached the point where the north face of WTC1 was perpendicular to the view captured on the camera... COS(90)=0 Design programs that take an idea that you have made flat, then rotate it for other possible views involve math on/in a sphere. Spherical math/rotating involves using trig functions in various mathematical relationships, including division. Unfortunately, all trig functions have an angle for which the value of the function is zero. Dividing by zero is described as undefined. But, in fact, few functions are truly undefined when the denominator is zero; that's when we use the "limit" idea. You know, the limit of such and such as the denominator approaches a neighborhood of zero. Well, since we are dealing with an image, we know that the image is not undefined when the angle requires division by a trig function of value zero. But, a lot of programmers don't have the patience and/or knowledge to know what the real condition is at "divide by zero," so they just plug in something that works to keep the program from crashing. In this case it resulted in the "billowing smoke" we saw facing us (180 or zero degrees) getting less billowing as we rotated around the image of the towers, finally becoming as flat as the side of the tower when 90 degrees was hit and COS(90) equaled 0. The program didnt crash, just the official lie. The "real" smoke on the south side of wtc1 always shoots out from the wall, no matter what angle we view it from. The fake smoke subject to trig functions on the north side forgets to billow when we see it from 90 degrees! How is this a smoking gun? The billowing smoke coming from the north face stopped billowing. Fortunately, as the "chopper" did not stay long at the perpendicular position and the COS of the angle of the view stopped being zero, the north face smoke grew ever more billowy as required in the RFP. So, I have some advice for the budding graphic/digital artists out there... Don't quit math! murtagh, lin and cellini may be verified at http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0109/11/bn.01.html transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0109/11/bn.01.html Thanks to TheWebFairy for backing up the amateur video the stills were taken from.
