Int'l Center for 9/11 Studies - NIST Cumulus Video Database Released

[Peter Lemkin]

That is a lot of gigabytes there. That would blow out my monthly bill something awful. And this is the first of several??? Sounds like they way they've organised it this will be a full time study for someone just organising it all coherently. :hmmmm2:

Well, I couldn't sleep tonight, so spent the time watching much of the lot...video takes up lots of MBs! Someone - not yet sure if NIST [suspect so..but not sure yet] or the people who filed the FOIA and are releasing it took normal videos and broke them up into less than one minute [in some cases few second!] pieces. Luckily, they are in order. Anyone out there know a good program that could easily piece them back together in order?!

Some are what we've all seen before. Some are what we've seen with audio by the cameraman and soundman that are interesting [and we've not heard before]. One by one of the major TV networks is marked as 'sensitive - do not show' [not exact wording, but close] and has the WTC 7 collapse with the penthouse on top clearly collapsing first, then a crimp almost midway in the roofline, then the building coming down free fall. There are shots of the WTC 1 and 2 from the other sides, we've rarely seen and tells a lot about the fires and also the collapse from different angles. As I mentioned the bizarre damage to cars and other things after. No doubt all the best [from a forensic standpoint] they are holding on to and loathe to release...although there is more they already have. I don't pay by how much I download or upload, so can mange these large files....and luckily have huge storage capacity...but it is filling up fast! Supposedly, they are building a website just for comments on these newly released videos. Once they are culled and vetted, there won't be that much of super interest to download - maybe 5% maximum. Likely less.
