VIDEO: The South Tower Attack in Slow Motion

This amazing video is one of the closest and most clear shots of the crash of Flight 175 into the South Tower of the World Trade Center (2 WTC). In this version of this famous clip, the video has been slowed way down, stretching the couple seconds of this impact into a full minute. There are a couple of things that are particularly interesting about this video. One of the claims by conspiracy theorists is that this angle clearly shows a strange "package" attached to the bottom of the craft that is not usually present on a Boeing 767. Others claim that this addition is actually a missile or a bomb. Others claim that the entire plane is simply a hologram. Believers of the official story, however, cite the large number of eyewitnesses who saw the plane approaching and strike the building as incontrovertible evidence that the official story is accurate. Some conspiracy theorists believe that the plane is real but is some sort of military drone, not United Airlines Flight 175, as the official story claims. The problem with that theory is then what happened to Flight 175? I pose the question to those who believe this isn't Flight 175, why would the government hijack the airplane coerce the people on board to make phony calls to their loved ones and kill all of them only to send a missile (or nothing) into the building? And if they were going to do a controlled demolition anyway, why send the missile or plane into it at all? Why not just blow up the building and call it a terrorist bomb? The more elaborate the conspiracy theory, in my opinion, the less likely it is to be true. The most likely conspiracy, if there is one, would be to simply commission someone to carry out the attack. The least amount of deception and lying the more likely it is to succeed.

Anyway, here is the video for you to judge for yourself:
