Missile shot at World Trade Center?
This has been floating around the internet for a while now, but this is the first animated GIF of it I have seen. What is this missile-like object? Certainly the U.S. wouldn't fire a missile at NYC, right? Why did they stop the rescue mission when the firefighter heros said they should go on? Hmmm

the WTC were designed to be able to withstand a direct impact from a boeing 707. even the largest of missiles wouldn't have the same kinetic energy as a 707.
all a .gif file is is a collection of small photos strung together to form a sort of video.
thus, its rather easy to photoshop a few frames of pictures and then stick them together. problem solved.
as for "flooding the channels".
please.
this missile thing is just some garbage that got started on indymedia i believe and then picked up by other people so paranoid that they'd believe almost anything that reaked halfway of a conspiracy. same as that whole indymedia fiasco with a brazilian student who claimed that the scenes of cheering palestinians was faked. even today there are a bunch of left-wingers who still cling foolishly too that belief.
Regardless, as someone else posted, this video has been on Drudge Report, it has been in corporate media, etc. It did not originate on Indymedia. Everyone here knows how to make an animated GIF and what Photoshop is, we obviously do not need you to tell us.
But in Jon's world, America is a great country and conspiracies only happen in the movies. Jon, ignorance really is bliss, huh?
As for a missle: most unlikely. Where did it land? Also, the object appears to veer off at the end of the clip, and I believe you can see wings on it!
Just one possibility....
If it were a missile or any 'munition' of significance,(including an RPV) it would have done extensive damage wherever it landed. That damage doesn't exist. That damage was never reported, and all we have is a fuzzy gif. It can't be a missile.
Is this type of rational reasoning REALLY that difficult for you?
Apparently so.
It was possibly a remotely controlled vehicle that the 7 million people in New York missed (not to mention the hundreds of millions of others who watched on TV) even though they were THERE.
Boy Nessie you are smart and onto something BIG. Keep it up Einstein.
