Well, Farhad, get a better pair of glasses.
I consider the whole "9/11 Truth" movement to be full of bunk. So I looked at the photos and footage with no preconceived notions. And I saw the flash every time and from every different angle. At some angles the flash was a bit more difficult to see, but it was there.
My theory? Considering the plane was traveling at nearly 500 miles-per-hour, I think there was some kind of brief oxygen burn from what must have been the almost unbelievable air compression between the nose of the plane and the glass and steel surface of the tower in those final seconds.
But then I'm no scientist either, so what the hell.
