1993 WTC Truck bomb event

[blindedbyscience]

After seeing Simon's post of the WTC stamps that came out after the 1993 bombing, I searched eBay for WTC related memorabilia. Here's one of my favorites... The New Yorker Magazine cover from July 26, 1993.



I also found it on The New Yorker website, so it appears to be legit.

Still nice to see that cartoon again, though.

Sorry about that. I thought the art thread was for art that the forum members did. Not being much of an artist, that is one thread I haven't reviewed yet.

My apologies in advance if this has been posted elsewhere on the board. I did do a search for it and didn't find it, so here it is. From 1987, yes BEFORE the bomb. A movie featuring a cracked WTC. This is the front and back of the VHS box.

Isn't "Brian Rolford" cute? How nice of him to pose for the photographer after being hit in the mouth by a bomb blast!

Those muslimists have some smart weapons, the suit and shirt are pristine! Or maybe he was looking through a letterbox when the bomb went off?

Just a few weeks ago, nobody cared if they were "alive" (standing?), but now everyone wants them "dead" (demolished?) sounds like some closed-door decision to start the process of (ritual?) demolition, after they were conspicuously ignored for years.

Look in the bottom left corner...

Didn't FOX use the alias "20th Century Fox", not their logo for movies?

"1993 WTC BOMBINGS TV ARCHIVE"

I know, most people won't have the time or patience to look into this old, classic psyop. But if you do, I trust that you will readily see that it was nothing but a news media dress rehearsal for "the real thing" (9/11)...

You only need to watch about 30min or so of this impressive (almost 6-hour-long) CBS2 TV archive of the event - to realize beyond any reasonable doubt that ALL of the TV anchors / street-reporters / "eye-witnesses" (crisis actors) of this supposed terror event - were ALL in on the hoax. Enjoy the young Brian Williams (at 1:24:22, for instance) as he 'makes the grade' to become a star media liar clown !

I swear that I laughed out aloud throughout my patient viewing of this totally contrived, stage-managed TV soap opera. I hope you do too.

To all those who keep thinking that "perhaps the media professionals involved in these psy-ops were innocent dupes" - I say: think again.

Some HIGHLIGHTS of above TV archive:

1:16:30 > Crisis actor "Vito De Leo" says : "I saw the flash coming towards me, so I bent down - and my desk somehow landed on top of me".
1:17:00 > Observe Vito De Leo as he looks like holding off an epileptic attack - after the (C)BS he just uttered for cold cash...
1:17:11 > Lady Chef who survived after running down in thick smoke from 31st floor gets interviewed. Of course, she still wears her speckless, white attire ( tall Chef Hat and all !)... or else she wouldn't look much like a Chef, would she?
2:08:14 > A survivor ("Debbie Matut", an 11-weeks-pregnant woman who "just happens to be a CBS employee") interviewed by CBS street reporter Lisa Castleman. ( a must watch! "helicopter rescue" and all!)
2:56:00 > My all-time favorite "DRAMA actress survivor" !

You're so right, Simon, about that "time or patience" thing.

But having personally watched a great deal of it at the time of its "live" telecast back in '93, the one point that stands out in memory was the flustered/amazed/disgusted expression of Dan Rather when he told his viewers that the only surveillance video of the puported "bomb-laden" vehicle (in the WTC's below-ground car park) had "disappeared" from an in-box on an FBI agent's desk!!!

Is this to-be-cherished "Rather Moment" included in the CBS archive?

I think I will just put some black powder around my mouth like all those poor people have. They all look the same with that ring around their mouth.

Right around the 3:00h mark they are really trying to pull on emotions with everyone being pulled from a building along with the commentary.
