Jim,

Acknowledging I've only seen the .mov file with it's limitations...
at the beginning of the footage, it seems the buildings clearly
visible on the horizon are considerably more than a mile or two
distant. I would say more than 5 miles away, but that's just a best
guess.

Yes, Mexico City apparently has the world's largest concentration of
ozone, however, the major problem is smog.

It should be a simple matter for someone out there to check what the
conditions were at the time the video was allegedly taken. A declared
state of emergency, or what I understand is termed a Phase I alert,
would likely have been news, as apparently the use of cars is banned
and factory production [is supposed to be] cut etc., in a fight
against the smog. It seems that conditions under a Phase II alert are
so serious that the city practically shuts down.

Maybe this has been checked, but given that emergency conditions did
exist, it just seems an obvious point to verify.



James.
