The Curious Case of The

"Cannister" On The Belly

DVDs Now Available At Project P.R.O.V.E.!

By Jeff Challender

In this article, we will endeavor to visually prove that there was an explosive device, possibly a napalm bomb, attached to the so-called UA Flight 175, which was flown into the South Tower of the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001. The frames below were taken from a live video, shot by an ABC news camera, at the time from the street directly under the South Tower. At the end of the frame by frame analysis, we will present animated GIFs composed of these same still frames.

Frame 1. The jet has just appeared, and is speeding toward its fate. Please note the object outlined, which is resting between the engine nacelles on the wings of the aircraft. In this view, it is aligned perfectly with those engines. Our reference point here is the leading edge of the jet engine intakes.

Frame 2. In this second frame, we can see this "cannister" even better. There is no doubt that SOMETHING is attached to the belly of this jet-liner. Commercial aircraft simply do not carry such apertinences. Military craft often do, but NOT civilian flights.

Frame 3. The mystery object is no longer in line with the engine nacelles as it was before. As Flight 175 begins its collision with the tower, this object has broken loosed from its mount, and has begun to tumble. It is now separated from the host plane.

Frames 2 & 3 again. We are using the lead point of the object as our reference point, this time. The vertical lines, (Added using Microsoft Paint™), serve to illustrate how the "belly pod" has not only broken loose, due to the impact of the plane with the skyscraper, but has also been thrown forward toward the building. In the first set of photos, the "pod" is nestled between the engines, and appears to be attached at the starboard wing root. In the second set, we can easily make out that the object has definately moved forward, and that it has started to tumble.

Frame 4. Here, the object is nearing its own impact with the South Tower.

In Frame 5, we can see that the "pod", or "cannister" is now flat against the wall of the building.

Frame 6, and the object has begun to get brighter, as if it is igniting, or exploding.

Frame 7, and it is even brighter now, even as the vertical tail of the alleged Flight 175 is disappearing into the tower.

Frame 8. The jet is completely inside the South Tower now, and the glow of that "cannister" continues to increase.

Frame 12. We have skipped frames 9, 10, and 11 in order to examine the result of the explosion. When alleged Flight 11 struck the North Tower, there was a lot of black smoke, and little flame on impact. The impact of alleged Flight 175 with the South Tower yielded a great ball of fire. Why such a marked difference between similar impacts by two aircraft which are alleged to have nearly identical characteristics? We are told that both planes had a full load of fuel on board.

Remember that ordinary people in Lower Manhatten had no way to expect the first plane. There were no news crews set up to record and broadcast this event on network TV, coast to coast, live. However, by the time the second plane appeared, literally dozens of cameras were trained on the World Trade Center, watching the smoldering North Tower as it belched copious amounts of thick black smoke (And little else, indicating an oxygen starved fire. This makes for a "cool" fire, which is not likely to melt high temper steel). Was the stunning explosion and fire associated with the South Tower impact deliberately enhanced for maximum effect on the "audience"?

This animated GIF is composed of the 12 individual frames from the ABC video. Each has been blown up 150%, and cropped to isolate that portion relevant to our presentation. Playback speed is fairly close to normal.

This animation shows the details of the event. Each of the 12 frames lasts 5 seconds, with and without markings, to slow the action for closer study.

The next three animations are full frame, and presented at three playback speeds.

Slow speed.

Medium speed.

Full speed. This is pretty close to the actual speed of the original tape, which was not available to me. I had to work with still frames found online about a year and a half ago as of this writing, 23 April 2005.

At the end of the day, it's really up to YOU to draw your own conclusions.
