And there was just a hole and black smoke. It just looked like a cigar standing up on end with burning tip and black smoke. Which again, why black smoke? It’s ready to go out. And then it went on and the building was just burning away and it wasn’t too exciting until all of the sudden it’s disappearing and there was no real sign, there was no sign that this was going to go down because of all the black smoke. And the black smoke is really indicative that the fire is out.

5 9/11 The Falling Man
9-11_The_Falling_ManSeptember 11 2001 was a day of many incredible and shocking stories: stories of survivors, stories of heroes. But there was one story that people didn't want to face. The story of the people who began to jump from the World Trade Center just minutes after the first plane hit. Their images were on videotape and in photographs, but soon they were never seen again, as if they had never existed.Among those pictures is one of the most unforgettable images from 9/11 - a photograph of a falling man, frozen in mid air, his body perfectly parallel with the twin towers of the World Trade Center.

12 Improbable Collapse: The Demolition of Our Republic
The official theory of the collapse is essentially a fire theory. So it can not be overemphasized that fire has never caused large steel frame buildings to collapse. Never. Whether before 9/11 or after 9/11 or on 9/11 anywhere else in the world except allegedly New York City. On September 11, 2001 the World Trade Center Twin Towers disintegrated in a manner that scientists say resembled deliberately calculated implosions.

16 The Elephant In The Room
In retrospect of course, looking back, you think about everything that went on. The fact that the power down in itself was unusual, the fact that there were visitors to the tower, many in overalls, like engineers of some kind wandering around the floors carrying tool boxes and cables and so on.

I believe that the public is still uninformed about most of the issues that are surrounding 911.

In late 2006, the movie 9/11 Press For Truth became a worldwide underground hit.

20 Towers of Deception: The Media Cover-Up of 9/11
This is a great eyeopening documentary film. The left is far more infiltrated by actual paid agents of the FBI and the CIA, and the like, than most of us on the left are willing to think about seriously. The CIA…has virtually unlimited funds. It is above and beyond the law and it knows no moral constraints. It has no financial or moral or legal constraints to stop it from doing whatever it’s going to do.

area51-128x128In southern Nevada, there exists a 575 square mile block of land that goes by many names: The Box, Paradise Ranch, Groom Lake, Watertown Strip and Dreamland. But most refer to this mysterious region as Area 51. Since the late 1950's the skies above Dreamland have been home to an array of unidentified flying objects. Locals here know that sightings of curios lights and other unexplained phenomena are commonplace. In 1989, the revelations of Bob lazar, a Las Vegas resident, brought the strange goings-on at Area 51 to a national audience. He claimed to have amazing inside information on the stark terrain 90 miles north of Las Vegas. Known as Area 51, this outpost is one of the most mysterious locations on the face of the earth, and, until recently, the US government even denied its existence.

Confronting_the_EvidenceThe official explanation for 9/11 is that Al Qaeda just got lucky that sunny morning in September 2001. The terrorists conducted their attacks without outside help, by this account, and intelligence and other blunders by the US authorities that contributed to their terrible success - for example, ignored warnings that an attack involving aeroplanes was likely, or issuing US entry visas to 19 Islamic fanatics set on murder - were just that: blunders. This is the White House's version and it was endorsed by a Washington commission of inquiry under Thomas Kean published last year. But, according to Henshall and Morgan, the story is full of gaping holes and unanswered questions.

By showing this algae's essential role in the evolution of photosynthesis, it also shows the immense species of plants which all originate to this one celled life form.

19 Magical Egypt

There is another side of Egypt that is not so widely known. Egypt is also the land of secrets. Another history, a secret history, tells of Egypt as the inheritor of deep wisdom and magical ability from an even earlier culture. It is the account of the Egyptians themselves. This alternate history is echoed by parallel accounts from the myth and history of other ancient cultures, as well as myriad secret societies and occult sources. The remarkable number of parallels in these stories provides a unique window into this other Egypt. A new kind of counterculture is emerging around the unexpected discoveries of a small but growing circle of scientists, authors and researchers. The focal point of this counterculture centers on an alternative interpretation of ancient Egypt - not as mankind's earliest attempts at primitive civilization, but as a fully developed, and inexplicably advanced culture, who's scientific and metaphysical achievements we are only beginning to fully appreciate.

Secrets_of_the_Playing_CardPlaying cards are an everyday object used for gambling and game playing the world over. But the familiar deck of cards conceals hidden meanings that have links to secret societies and the occult. Why are there four suits and why hearts, spades, diamonds, clubs?

We look beneath the surface of the playing card and reveal an intriguing journey from their much disputed roots in China, Persia, and Egypt. And we uncover the secrets of card design, investigating rumored Masonic links and the way the design has changed to mirror the cultures and beliefs of the people who used them through the ages. What emerges is an extraordinary story that reveals the mysteries and meanings of the humble playing card--a history that is intimately entwined with the occult, voodoo, and man's fascination with mystical beliefs.

42 Little Dieter Needs To Fly
little-dieter-needs-to-flyAn awesome story of a young German boy who is inspired to become a pilot when an American plane comes so close to the window of his home in a WWII battle he can actually see the pilot in the cockpit. He later migrates to America with no funds to support himself, but manages to, eventually, qualify for the service. He becomes an American pilot to fly against the enemy in Vietnam. However, he is shot down and tells of his capture, retracing his painful memories of the jungle experience, and amazing escape. I found it, personally, uplifting and enthralling considering I have a Marine MIA brother, who himself, was shot down in deep N. Vietnam.Most highly recommended by any history buff of the Vietnam era war years and the possible fate of those captured in the jungle environment.

5th_Dimension_GhostsDoes life end in death? Or does the soul wander from body to body? Are there such things as demons, ghosts or the devil?

In many religions, and particularly in primitive faiths, the belief exists that the spirit wanders away from the body during periods of unconsciousness such as sleep. Such religions also teach that after death the spirit lingers near the body of the dead person. A common practice of groups holding such beliefs is to propitiate the ghosts of the dead by offerings of food, clothing, and other objects that the ghosts may find useful in the spirit world.

The Bible says Eden was located east of Israel where four rivers meet: the Tigris and Euphrates and the Pison and Gihon. The latter two have long been considered mythical; however, recent satellite photography suggests these rivers existed in Iraq. Another theory places Eden's location beneath the Black Sea.

They lived in the elements among the monsters of the day, like the saber-toothed cat. Over time, early humans evolved and developed simple tools, began to communicate, and learned to control their most important tool: fire.

But the monsters were still there. 300,000 years ago, Homo erectus learned to hunt the giant Irish elk, using fire to drive these great beasts through a narrow gorge and over a cliff. While hunting skills improved, proximity remained a necessity to kill a huge beast.

Still, it's no mean feat deserving of kudos for Alexander McCall Smith because it certainly takes tremendous man-hours to craft a drama narratively from what is essentially footage of animals going about their own thing.

It has been instrumental in providing the existence of black holes and has captured the cataclysmic end of stars far larger than our own sun. Rocking a long-established theory about universe existence, Hubble proved that the universe is expanding more and more quickly, which could ultimately destroy our entire universe.

if-we-had-no-moonWithout the moon, humans wouldn’t exist. Life, if it had started at all, would be in the earliest stages of evolution. Days would last four hours, winds would blow at hurricane force and there would be a dense and toxic atmosphere resembling that of Venus. Luckily, 50 million years after the formation of the solar system, our proto-planet was hit by a celestial body more than twice the size of Mars, which formed the moon. In this one-hour special, viewers will learn what Earth was like before the moon and what Earth would be like if the moon disappeared.

In Human Senses, Nigel goes in search of the biological roots of our senses and uncovers the evolutionary reasons why particular sights, sounds, smells and tastes have such a powerful effect. On a sensory romp around the globe, Nigel acts as a human guinea pig, experiencing first hand the extremes of sensory perception – from sound so wonderful it makes him grin with pleasure to a smell so awful it brings him out in a sweat and sets his heart racing. In his quest to understand the origins of human senses Nigel meets the sensory superstars of the animal kingdom, he swims with sharks, tickles an alligator and eyes up an angry cobra. Human Senses uses state of the art graphics and some invasive imaging techniques to reveal the surprising ways our senses guide us and how they work.

The second way in which consciousness is primary is the fact that we never directly experience the world around us.

Looks particularly at the case of Alexandra who was engaged to a man twice her age from Lancashire, but who was disllusioned by his shabby flat and life in Britain. Also, at Liuda from Siberia, who married the older David in Prague. Russia's women outnumber its menfolk by 10 million or so, so there are plenty of them online looking for a foreign bloke. But, as this sober British documentary shows, not all of their Western suitors are what you would call a great catch. Among those we meet tonight are a lazy middle-aged British chap who doesn't even have a bed to share with his much-younger fiancee (they sleep on two single mattresses pushed together on the floor) and a rather driven Texan who declares that in his part of the world "there just aren't any girls that don't have a couple of kids and aren't mad at all men and aren't fat".
