Markus Allen's Disappearing Buildings on 9/11

By Mark Conlon

This is the third analysis that I have conducted into claims made by Markus Allen in relation to a historical video taken by Michael Hezarkhani on September 11th 2001, whereby Michael Hezarkhani captured video footage of ‘Flight 175’ hitting the South Tower.

To my disbelief Markus Allen has yet another claim about the Michael Hezarkhani video. He now claims that the surrounding buildings are missing from the Michael Hezarkhani video footage. At first glance the claim can seem quite convincing and credible, especially if you are not as familiar with the evidence he provides to prove his claim. (Luckily I’m very familiar with the videos and photographical evidence of 'Flight 175').

To advance his new claim Markus Allen provides a ‘snap shot’ (or single frame) from the Michael Hezarkhani video to convince people that the buildings are missing from the video, thus proving 'video fakery' in Markus Allen's opinion, which seems to be the on-going agenda regarding the Michael Hezarkhani video. In my analysis I will demonstrate some of the inaccurate observations made by Markus Allen or at worst suggest a deliberate attempt to distort video evidence, to forward his own agenda to promote video fakery.

The ‘snap-shot’ below is a single frame taken from the Michael Hezarkhani video, which Markus Allen uses on his website to claim that buildings are missing from the Michael Hezarkhani video footage.

Let’s take a closer look at Markus Allen’s claims, by studying all the available evidence, and not just a deceptive and selective single snap-shot taken from the Michael Hezarkhani video footage... To understand which buildings Markus Allen believes are missing from the Michael Hezarkhani video, I will use some comparison pictures which point out the two buildings in more detail, so we can gain a better understanding of the two buildings and their locations. See the comparison pictures below:      In the comparison pictures above I've pointed out the main two buildings in question so we can gain a better understanding of their locations, so we can locate them in the Michael Hezarkhani video. Below I've used a comparison picture compared to a later 'zoomed out' shot in the Michael Hezarkhani raw version video. Clearly the two buildings I've pointed out in the comparison picture are visible in the Michael Hezarkhani raw version video picture. Below I'm using an identical snap-shot from the Michael Hezarkhani raw version video, which is at the same moment in time as Markus Allen's snap-shot video picture. I've pointed out the buildings in question in Michael Hezarkhani's raw video version, which Markus Allen claims are "MISSING"

Note: If you want to view the Michael Hezarkhani video I'm using in this article please follow this link: https://youtu.be/ZsP-Gt52P2A

See Markus Allen's snap-shot below:

Several problems and anomalies arise when we view these two pictures together

Below I've highlighted the cropped areas using red lines which I've inserted on to the Michael Hezarkhani raw version video below to help highlight the cropped areas on Markus Allen's snap-shot video picture, which can clearly be seen when compared to the Michael Hezarkhani raw version video image.

The explosion in the Markus Allen picture seems to be cut off at the top of the explosion, whereas in the Michael Hezarkhani raw version video picture the explosion can be seen in full. The same problem happens with the bottom of the Markus Allen picture, where the buildings have been cut off and cannot be seen? Yet in the Michael Hezarkhani raw version video picture that I’ve used, the buildings in question can be seen underneath the South Tower, along with the other buildings on the right hand side of picture, which have also been cut off in the Markus Allen picture. What does this suggest? This could suggest that Markus Allen’s video snap-shot picture has either been cropped to remove the buildings or another possible explanation is the aspect ratio that the video has been previously recorded in or uploaded to, is incorrect, which could suggest why it has been inadvertently cut-off at the top, bottom and right hand side of the video picture. This explanation does have some problems though, as both sides should have been altered when the aspect ratio is incorrect. This is NOT so in the Markus Allen snap-shot video picture, as only the top, bottom and right hand side are altered, as the left hand side is displaying normally and unaltered. The question has to be asked, has Markus Allen's video picture snap-shot been deliberately cropped? And if so WHY? In my analysis below there does appear to be evidence of a deliberate attempt to misrepresent the two buildings location, as the red arrow does NOT point to the real location area of the two buildings that Markus Allen claims are MISSING? I've corrected the area on the picture below with two red arrows where the real location of the two buildings are. The picture analysis below also suggests evidence that three sides of the video picture used by Markus Allen have been cropped out. Does this suggest another attempt to deliberately mislead the viewer? The picture above: shows the frame of reference of Markus Allen's snap-shot when overlaid on top of the Michael Hezarkhani raw version video picture, which demonstrates the cropping of the video to remove the buildings from the video picture. We can only assume from Markus Allen's previous attempts of disinformation regarding the Michael Hezarkhani video (which my other two previous analysis/studies disproved), that he continues with his on-going effort to discredit the Michael Hezarkhani's video evidence as fake. He continues to perpetuated and facilitate the circulation and recirculation of his inaccurate material about the Michael Hezarkhani Flight 175 video widely across the inte.co.uk, not only on his own website, but also on other people's websites who are unknowingly spreading disinformation. Markus Allen is knowingly spreading disinformation, and yes I use the word "knowingly" as he is quite happy to leave his 'Flight 175 (rare video)' on his YouTube Channel when he knows that there is inaccurate and misleading information contained in his video, which has been promoted across the inte.co.uk. This is why the situation regarding Markus Allen appears to be another sinister attempt to discredit the Michael Hezarkhani 'Flight 175' video as fake.

Conclusion: The buildings can be clearly identified in the Michael Hezarkhani video footage below.

Clearly yet again Markus Allen has committed a “WHOPPING ERROR” regarding the missing buildings in the Michael Hezarkhani video footage. From previous history regarding Markus Allen’s research in this area of this historic video, he continues to promote lies and spread falsehoods, which he is more than happy to do, for which he has clearly been exposed past and present. This case is CLOSED!

Flight 175 and The Truth about 'The Truth in 7 Minutes' in FIVE Minutes

Short introduction and note by Andrew Johnson [ADJ]

Below, Mark has carefully documented some further errors made by Markus Allen in a recent response to another error he made in an earlier video. The thrust of what Markus Allen appears to be trying to say is that “the videos of Flight 175 crashing into the WTC are fake”. This, of course, has been a topic much discussed on 9/11 “truth” websites. I have come to the conclusion, partly because of what I have covered in this article, that there has been a deliberate attempt to promote the 9/11 video fakery position in order to obscure or cover up the knowledge of the use of some type of image projection technology, which was used to create a very powerful illusion of plane crashes (for those chuckling about this idea, simply try and account for the physical evidence that plane wings cannot cut through steel box-girders and also account for the fact that some witnesses did not see or hear any planes at the WTC site, whilst others did).

Flight 175 and The Truth about 'The Truth in 7 Minutes' in FIVE Minutes

This is an article following-on from Markus Allen’s ‘Fight 175 (Rare Video)’ YouTube video, where Markus Allen has now acknowledged his “error” about the buildings location, which he misrepresented in his YouTube video, alleging that Flight 175's wing passed behind the building in forground. Markus Allen claimed this shouldn’t have happened because the buildings in question were behind the South Tower, which was proof of "video fakery". Now that we have sorted-out this ‘error’ by Mr. Allen regarding the building location and the fact that Flight 175’s wing should’ve passed behind the building, this should put the matter to rest. Well no, in fact it has opened the door for yet another theory by Markus Allen, that Michael Hezarkhani’s video location is impossible?

Below, Markus Allen’s acknowledgement of his error regarding the building location and also his new theory about Michael Hezarkhani’s impossible video location?

He writes:

"Many commenters on this video have (rightly) pointed out that this video has a whopper of an error". "The two buildings that appear look like they're next to (or even behind) the Twin Towers, but in reality, these buildings (at both 17 Battery Place and 28 Washington Street) are indeed WAY in front of the viewing area as we see in this view from Battery Park"

"Also, the perspective of the view makes those two buildings appear to be taller than the Twin Towers (even though they're less than half the height)"

"In addition, coming out of the Battery Tunnel (next to Battery Park where this video is alleged to have been taken) looks nothing like what is shown in this video… you'd have to be in the middle of a bunch of trees in the park. It's an impossible shot from on the ground". 
 

Analysis of Markus Allen’s New Theory of Impossible Hezarkhani Location:

Markus now claims that Michael Hezarkhani’s video location cannot be correct or achieved. He also incorrectly states that Michael Hezarkhani was coming out of the Battery Tunnel when he videoed his historic video of "alleged" Flight 175 hitting the South Tower. Michael Hezarkhani has never disclosed his location where he took his video from, so this is speculation by Markus Allen. It is speculated that Michael Hezarkhani took his video from the ferry which docked in Battery Park. Michael Hezarkhani happened to be in close proximity to Carmen Taylor who also captured Flight 175 with her camera. Carmen was stationed on a ferry,which she spoke about during a telephone conversation with Jeff Hill.

Below: is a comparison of Carmen Taylor’s Photograph and Michael Hezarkhani’s video below.

Carmen Taylor’s Photograph

Michael Hezarkhani Video

As you can see above, Carmen Taylor and Michael Herarkhani were in close proximity of each other when they captured Flight 175 hitting the South Tower.

[ADJ notes, some people have pointed out the strange correspondence between these two images – and the fact that in each image, the plane shows no appreciable motion blur. However, if what was moving was actually some type of image projection, not a physical object, we can imagine that any motion blur might be absent – this is speculation, of course…]

Let’s take a closer look at the photograph that Markus Allen has used to prove impossible location of Michael Hezarkhani’s video.

Carmen Taylor was located on the top deck of the Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty ferry when she took her pictures. This is why unless Markus is using a picture from the location on the ferry you will not capture the location correctly. It is believed that Michael Hezarkhani was stationed on the ferry along with Carmen Taylor.

Let’s deal with Markus Allen’s other claim about the ‘height’ of the ‘Twin Towers’

against the other building in the foreground.

Markus Allen said: 

"Also, the perspective of the view makes those two buildings appear to be taller than the Twin Towers (even though they're less than half the height). In addition, coming out of the Battery Tunnel (next to Battery Park where this video is alleged to have been taken) looks nothing like what is shown in this video… you'd have to be in the middle of a bunch of trees in the park. It's an impossible shot from on the ground".   

Markus Allen's comparison image below:

 

Note: In the Michael Hezarkhani video zoom-out image below, it demonstrates that Michael Hezarkhani was farther back from the buildings in the foreground compared to Markus Allen's poor comparison image above, which does not accurately represent Michael Hezarkhani's location.

 

Carmen Taylor took several photographs from different distances from the twin towers which we can use below to see how the size of the twin towers look compared to the buildings in the foreground. See comparisons below:

The following photo below was taken by Eeney Minnie Moe in 2007 from approximately the same position taken from about the middle of the top deck. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=125x180637

For comparison purposes, here is a frame from the Hezarkhani video:

Judging by the buildings, Taylor and Hezarkhani were both a little to the right of this position (so the trees are not seen from exactly the same angle), and a little farther back. (This would make the trees appear somewhat shorter relative to the buildings, and of course the trees have had six years of additional growth since 2001). I believe this indicates that Eeney Minnie Moe's ferry was probably at the same dock as the Taylor/Hezarkhani ferry, but they were both farther toward the stern and farther back from the railing.

Below: Carmen Taylor’s 4 photographs

 Below: Eeney Minnie Moe photo 2007

In Conclusion

It appears that the location where Michael Hezarkhani recorded his "historic" video footage of Flight 175 hitting the South Tower was from the top deck of the Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty ferry. He was in close proximity to Carmen Taylor who also photographed her "historic" picture of Flight 175 hitting the South Tower also.

Important Updates - 24/02/2017

More evidence proving that Michael Hezarkhani was stationed on the top deck of a ferry boat, demonstrating where he videoed 'Flight 175' impacting the South Tower is in this video here: https://dai.ly/x6bbjtu

Also, below I have matched Michael Hezarkhani's Google Earth location for comparison, which only lines-up the buildings when you're on the top deck of the ferry boat in Battery Park.

Also see new video evidence which is at the beginning of Michael Hezarkhani's video which shows that he is on-board the ferry boat which didn't leave the dock in Battery Park, and he is video recording the Statue of Liberty. This can also be confirmed by Carmen Taylor, who also took pictures from the ferry boat in close proximity to Michael Hezarkhani's location as seen above in this article.

  

 This case is now closed.
