1
00:00:04,730 --> 00:00:02,840
people who think that the World Trade

2
00:00:07,010 --> 00:00:04,740
Center was demolished with pre planted

3
00:00:08,990 --> 00:00:07,020
explosives sometimes point to flashes of

4
00:00:09,799 --> 00:00:09,000
light that you can see in some videos of

5
00:00:11,540 --> 00:00:09,809
the collapses

6
00:00:14,570 --> 00:00:11,550
they say at least flashes are evidence

7
00:00:16,039 --> 00:00:14,580
of explosives going off this NBC video

8
00:00:18,769 --> 00:00:16,049
of the South Tower collapse is perhaps

9
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:18,779
the best example of this you see one

10
00:00:20,630 --> 00:00:20,130
flash here near the corner of the

11
00:00:22,609 --> 00:00:20,640
building

12
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:22,619
then another larger flash on the left

13
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:25,529
side here both of these flushes exists

14
00:00:30,109 --> 00:00:27,930
for only one frame so there lasted for

15
00:00:31,460 --> 00:00:30,119
less than a thirtieth of a second so we

16
00:00:34,250 --> 00:00:31,470
know there are not something like a puff

17
00:00:35,630 --> 00:00:34,260
of smoke as we continue through we see a

18
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:35,640
whole load more of these flushes

19
00:00:39,470 --> 00:00:37,410
including a bunch of them over on the

20
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:39,480
left side that flash in midair so

21
00:00:42,770 --> 00:00:40,710
they're clearly not attached to the

22
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:42,780
building I suppose if you're being

23
00:00:46,729 --> 00:00:44,250
imaginative you'd say these media

24
00:00:47,959 --> 00:00:46,739
flushes are explosives going of late but

25
00:00:50,389 --> 00:00:47,969
no much simpler explanation has been

26
00:00:52,790 --> 00:00:50,399
given numerous times over the years that

27
00:00:54,529 --> 00:00:52,800
these flushes all of these flushes are

28
00:00:56,290 --> 00:00:54,539
just the Sun reflected off falling

29
00:00:58,700 --> 00:00:56,300
pieces of window glass

30
00:01:00,410 --> 00:00:58,710
the flashes do occur ahead of the main

31
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:00,420
collapse wave but this falling debris

32
00:01:03,979 --> 00:01:02,250
below them so it's quite possible there

33
00:01:06,050 --> 00:01:03,989
are pieces of glass spinning around as

34
00:01:08,359 --> 00:01:06,060
they fall that just happened to reflect

35
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:08,369
the sunlight into the camera a big

36
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:09,930
confirmation of this is that you don't

37
00:01:14,980 --> 00:01:11,610
see the same flashes in different videos

38
00:01:14,990 --> 00:01:17,330
you

39
00:01:22,020 --> 00:01:19,650
but what a piece of glass really give

40
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:22,030
this bright of a flush I decided to do

41
00:01:26,550 --> 00:01:24,850
some experiments to find out first of

42
00:01:28,830 --> 00:01:26,560
all I just tried tossing a glass slide

43
00:01:30,270 --> 00:01:28,840
up into the sunlight this year that you

44
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:30,280
could get less that was invisible one

45
00:01:33,810 --> 00:01:32,320
frame and then invisible the next but I

46
00:01:36,390 --> 00:01:33,820
didn't really get a good flash as the

47
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:36,400
Sun was setting the next day I tried it

48
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:37,930
in full sunlight from a longer distance

49
00:01:42,300 --> 00:01:40,810
I didn't really get any good flashes so

50
00:01:44,100 --> 00:01:42,310
with a single piece of glass it was very

51
00:01:45,930 --> 00:01:44,110
unlikely to randomly line up with the

52
00:01:47,430 --> 00:01:45,940
camera you need hundreds of falling

53
00:01:49,380 --> 00:01:47,440
pieces of glass to increase your odds

54
00:01:52,350 --> 00:01:49,390
like in the World Trade Center collapses

55
00:01:54,540 --> 00:01:52,360
so to simulate this I got a large a

56
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:54,550
piece of glass then span and aimed it by

57
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:56,410
hand to simulate it spinning as you fell

58
00:02:00,570 --> 00:01:58,330
and being one of the random pieces that

59
00:02:02,370 --> 00:02:00,580
happen to line up with the Sun this gave

60
00:02:03,719 --> 00:02:02,380
some incredibly bright flashes of light

61
00:02:06,780 --> 00:02:03,729
much bigger than the World Trade Center

62
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:06,790
video so I went a bit further away the

63
00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:08,649
piece of glass got harder to see when

64
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:10,000
there was still a huge bright white

65
00:02:14,850 --> 00:02:12,370
flush the flash only lasted a single

66
00:02:17,010 --> 00:02:14,860
frame if I spun it fast enough finally I

67
00:02:18,750 --> 00:02:17,020
went even further away the glass was

68
00:02:20,250 --> 00:02:18,760
nearly unnoticeable unless I lined up

69
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:20,260
with the camera and when it lined up

70
00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:21,970
perfectly there was again a huge bright

71
00:02:27,270 --> 00:02:25,200
flash sometimes just for a single frame

72
00:02:28,740 --> 00:02:27,280
so you can take this experiment and

73
00:02:30,449 --> 00:02:28,750
scale it up to the World Trade Center

74
00:02:32,759 --> 00:02:30,459
video with a camera a mile or so away

75
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:32,769
with lower resolution video with

76
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:34,510
thousands of pieces of falling glass

77
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:37,450
occasionally happening to line up the

78
00:02:42,449 --> 00:02:39,250
plus is not totally invisible but the

79
00:02:44,340 --> 00:02:42,459
flash is still big enough to be seen of

80
00:02:46,410 --> 00:02:44,350
course this does not prove that all the

81
00:02:47,820 --> 00:02:46,420
flushes were not explosives and it

82
00:02:50,610 --> 00:02:47,830
certainly does not prove anything about

83
00:02:52,020 --> 00:02:50,620
why the towers collapsed but it does

84
00:02:53,850 --> 00:02:52,030
demonstrate that there's a quite

85
00:03:01,660 --> 00:02:53,860
plausible explanation for those flashes

86
00:03:05,860 --> 00:03:04,120
