Yes of course it's irrelevant. It's always better to ignore the evidence and choose to debate "for the rest of our lives" instead. Why look at evidence if there is so cool conspiracy theories out there?

What I almost couldn't believe when I read it, was that it appears this was donated by Val McClatchey, the woman who supposedly took a photo of flight 93's explosion smoke cloud..
From this site(www.blackfive.net...), they are saying that Dave and his wife tried to turn this video into the media (the feds too you have to assume , right?) and that no one would even look at it.
So apparently after Val McClatchey came to everyone's attention they decided to give her a copy of the video. Then Val decided to donate it, five years later, to the National Park Service for it's oral history of 9/11, so it could be preserved in history.
Berkebile, 80, passed away last February. Five years ago, he gave the 1 minute, 38-second video to Val McClatchey, the woman who shot the only still photograph of Flight 93’s haunting, skyward aftermath.
McClatchey recently donated the video to the National Park Service for an oral history of 9/11. She had endured years of harassment from conspiracy theorists who believe Flight 93 was shot down by U.S. military jets and that her photo was a fake.
Donna Glessner of the National Park Service said the video authenticates the McClatchey photo and also has historic significance because of its timing and content.
“No one else has a video of that smoke cloud,” said Glessner. “As far as I know it has not been shown or broadcast anywhere.”
----
The video will be available at the crash scene’s Flight 93 National Memorial, which is being dedicated Saturday as part of the 10th anniversary remembrance of 9/11.
Berkebile’s wife, Cathy, said her husband initially offered to show the video to news outlets covering the Flight 93 story, but no one was interested in looking at it.
So, she added, he kept it to himself until he read in the Johnstown, Pa., Tribune-Democrat about the conspiracy controversy surrounding McClatchey’s photo. That’s when he decided to give her the video to validate her mushroom cloud picture, dubbed “End of Serenity.”
“We never considered it might be important (until then),” said Mrs. Berkebile.
McClatchey said she only recently turned the video over to the Park Service because she did not want the Berkebiles to experience the conspiracy “fruitcakes harassing them" like they had her.

Oh come on truther Its easy, here let me help. Here is a drawing of a 40 deg. inverted Boeing 757. I put some different coloured arrows on it. Now can you tell me what force each of those different coloured arrows represents ?

Thats true, but how come no one came forward with it?, Im sure privacy reasons, but this is a heck of a video that could of probably helped with the investigation
Yeah, I was wondering why the owner of the video did not release it to anyone.... I don't know. Maybe they did not want to be hounded 24/7 by the media wanting to interview them all the time.... I really don't know...
But I admit, I did wonder that as well.
For years, a home video taken minutes after the crash had been stashed away, only coming to light in the past week, revealing in its raw simplicity the horror of that morning.
"This is the remains of an airplane crash over on Lambertsville Road," says the local resident who took it, Dave Berkebile, by way of narration from behind the camera at his home.
His slightly shaky image shows a plume of smoke and a solitary puffy black cloud hanging listlessly in a clear blue sky over the rolling hills of southwestern Pennsylvania.
"Probably had a terrorist bomb on board that blew up," he said, almost matter of factly. "Don't known anything more than that -- that's what I heard on the (police radio) scanner."
"They ran one into the Pentagon and into the World Trade Center, and we were watching it on TV, and then this one happened... A great big black cloud just mushroomed right up into the air."
Berkebile died in February this year, leaving behind his video as the only one known to exist of the crash of Flight 93. Its existence came to light last week through the Tribune Democrat newspaper of Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
"Listening to it, it's very clear he doesn't know what was going on -- none of us knew what was going on," Tribune Democrat city editor Arlene Johns told AFP by telephone.
Berkebile had offered his video to television outlets, "but they either didn't even look at it or just rebuffed him... so he thought it wasn't of very much consequence and basically put it away and forgot about it," Johns said.
In 2006, he gave it to another local, Val McClatchey, whose still color photograph of the same dark cloud, seen behind a red barn, has been an object of fixation for conspiracy theorists who insist that the crash was a hoax.
McClatchey held on to it for another five years, Johns said, not revealing its existence until after Berkebile's death for fear he might be subjected to the same unwanted attention that she has endured from Flight 93 skeptics.

Here's a google earth image showing Val's location, the impact location, and the location of the base of the mushroom cloud.
The media wasn't interested in looking at a one-of-a-kind video of one of the most significant events in modern history? I've heard some tall tails before, but that one takes the cake.

For the 4th time, how did you determine the location of the base of the mushroom cloud for your mock up?

Ok ATH911 my turn to ask you a questions. In the photo below I have the laid out the tip vortices at a 40deg angle in blue. I have marked the direction of their rotation ( inverted positive G's) with black arrows. And the down wind path they would drift with red lines.
In a normal (non inverted) crash the vortices push the fire down and spreads it outward.
What do you think the vortices would do in this situation when they drifted through the fire ball ?

For the second time I did not make that screen shot if you look at it you will see the writing is in german. A german website did a more accurate placement than Killtown.

Why would they (television) be interested in a video of the cloud from miles away?

I no longer have the link but, If you tell me what forces those colored arrows represent, I'll do a reverse image search and find it for you.
I think Killtown is very incompetent, don't you agree ? Look at how badly he misjudged the weather conditions.
If you want to learn, I'm here to help. Now go find out what forces those arrows represent.
