911 Hotel
"911 Hotel" is a British documentary on the WTC Marriot (WTC3) that can be seen on Youtube. It's in five parts, starting here:
It's worth watching, mostly for the story of how some people escaped from the remnants of the hotel that was shredded by debris falling from WTC1 and WTC2. The story of the guys who survived and escaped from a small section of the 19th floor that wasn't creamed by WTC2 debris is amazing. These were supposedly the only people who survived being directly under the falling debris of both WTC1 and WTC2. There's lots of good shots of the hotel at pre-attack and at various stages on 9/11, and they have a computer model of the hotel in its various stages of destruction.
A few observations:
1) the first seconds of part 2 refers to a woman who was burned (not clear how, though there is some allusion to jet fuel) being in the lobby of the hotel. What on earth was she doing there-- and why wasn't there more of an attempt to get medical attention for her? It's very odd. She eventually gets to a hospital and dies (40 days later). A.P. wonders if she was exposed to effects from a nuke (e.g. thermal rays), a la Felipe David.
2) there is no mention of the plane engine that supposedly crashed into the hotel pool after the WTC1 crash. This is an odd omission, particularly as they even talk about the pool early on, and show a picture of it, in describing the hotel. So the engine in the pool story is likely apocryphal; not surprising if no plane hit the towers.
3) TOTAL LIE ALERT-- it's claimed (in part 2) that the daughter of one of the guests featured in the film took these two pictures:
The first problem is that the vantage point for these pictures is miles apart-- the top pic is from maybe a half mile south of the WTC, the second one is from a few miles north of the WTC-- possibly from a helicpter!
The bigger problem is that the plane picture is the same freaking photo as the Rob Howard photo of the 2nd plane that was used by Popular Mechanics-- a photo that is certainly a fraud, but clearly can't be the same picture taken by this woman's daughter.
The fact that the producers of the film would put in such a whopping lie casts serious doubt on the whole documentary. Being a British film, it's quite possible this show was heavily influenced by-- or even completely controlled by-- MI-5/MI-6.
