Let’s all agree from the outset that this is an
impossibility which defies laws of physics as we know it. The question is: How
did the Boeing 767 plane’s nose, (where the electronics are situated) penetrate
through the steel wall columns and internal central core columns of the South
Tower?
When September Clues surfaced on the internet in 2007 it
offered answers to my many questions concerning this unusual anomaly captured
within the ‘Chopper 5 news’ footage. Simon Shack’s explanation claimed that a
‘CGI plane’ was inserted and layering was used which accidentally drifted off
centre,
allowing an inserted CGI plane’s nose to accidentally poke-out of the
other-side of the South World Trade Centre building, which was followed by a
blank black screen for 15 frames to conceal the “error“ activated by a
television supervisor, which became commonly known as the ‘fade to black’ sequence,
which tried to quickly cover-up the mistake made by the perpetrator’s.
For many years I was satisfied with Simon Shack’s hypothesis
in his film September Clues and the explanation of video fakery in the Chopper
5 news footage with the plane’s nose-in, nose-out anomaly sequence. I was also
influenced by another character named Ace Baker regarding the use of video
fakery in the Chopper 5 news footage, which also led me to sit back and accept video
fakery was most likely to have been used in the news videos on 9/11. After studying more closely Simon Shack’s
other claims regarding video fakery in other 9/11 videos I began to see a
pattern emerging where information was being omitted by Shack in his film to
make his case of video fakery. I found this very deceptive and extremely
misleading. It appears he successfully mislead many viewers to believe that the
chopper 5 news footage was fake, thus discrediting the video footage. This conveniently created a division and
distraction away from what the live Chopper 5 news footage really showed.
To illustrate the omissions made by Simon Shack in his film September
Clues I will first demonstrate his hypotheses so we can understand the bigger
picture.Shack believes a centre layer was added to the video footage which a graphic inserted plane would disappear behind to prevent the plane exiting the South Tower. See pictures below taken from September Clues video.
The picture below shows how Shack believes a ‘Luma Key’ and
contrast was used to wash out the Sky-line in the Chopper 5 news video. As I
discuss later in this analysis the technique of using ‘Luma Key’ in this video
footage creates a major flaw in Shack’s hypothesis, which completely discredits
it.
The picture below shows the reference centre layer-line (in
yellow) which creates a layer to the side of the building which would conceal
the plane’s nose, but according to Simon Shack the Chopper 5 news helicopter
fitted with the F.I.R Camera system drifted slightly to the side which off-set
the centre (yellow) layer-line, which is why the plane’s nose was able to be
inadvertently be revealed and intact.
Please note: Still
image from September Clues. Centre layer line is set perfectly in this shot
before the camera drifted to the side.
The picture below shows the centre layer-line (in red) drifting off centre which off-set the centre (red) layer-line allowing the plane’s nose to appear out of the side of the building.
Please note: how the (red) layer line has drifted to the side which allows the nose to be revealed of the plane.
Let’s take a closer look at Simon Shack’s (CGI and Layering) hypotheses and study the evidence closely so we can see what has been deliberately ‘omitted’
To achieve the layering of the plane going into the building
you would need a layer for the plane’s ‘entrance’ into the building so the
plane would disappear behind the building on ‘entrance’. This has been
completely omitted by Simon Shack. The question is; why has he omitted this
from his hypotheses? The ‘entrance’ layer line should have also drifted if the
‘exit’ layer line of the building drifted… “This did not happen”.
See the picture below:
I have highlighted the ‘entrance’ layer line and ‘exit’ layer
line in red.
The picture below shows the ‘nose-out’ of the plane because of the drifting of the ‘exit’ layer line off centre. Shack makes no explanation regarding the off-set of the ‘entrance’ layer line only the centre ‘exit’ layer line?
The plane’s ‘entrance’ layer line being off-set in the
picture above should have visibly affected the plane’s ‘entrance’ into the
building in the ‘chopper 5’ video footage. ‘THIS DID NOT HAPPEN’. This rules-out any possibility of layering
because the plane in the video “entered” the building correctly.
The fact Simon Shack ‘omitted’ the ‘entrance’ layer line is
quite confusing to me, because ideally it is only necessary for one layer line
to be applied at the ‘entrance’ of the building if the perpetrators were to use
such a layering technique. This would have avoided the problem altogether of a
nose-out issue, but would have still potentially created problems with the drifting and the off-set
of the ‘entrance’ layer line, especially with the camera being situated on the
helicopter.
Conclusion:
The fact the plane “entered” the building correctly in the ‘chopper
5’ video contradicts Simon Shack’s ‘layering and CGI’ hypotheses completely. Other
video evidence of live news broadcasts also captured the plane’s nose ‘exiting’
from the South Tower.

In part two of this blog I will deal with an in depth analysis of the nose-out sequence that Simon Shack uses for his evidence in his film September Clues, where clear manipulation has been used to deceive his viewers...
