Youtube flash video compression erases the wing. HD reveals the wing. Watch with HD quality for clearest image of the wing. Read below to understand what's happening.

As the plane approached the south tower, it entered the shadow of the thick smoke from tower 1 (see the Park Foreman footage to watch this happen:    • Video   OR the Ron Pordy Footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GcvzX... ). This is why the plane looks black. It's shaded from direct sunlight. Seen from the ground, the bright blue sky acts as a back-light causing the plane to be seen in dark silhouette.

However, just prior to impact as the plane is banking, the right wing emerges from shadow into direct sunlight. This can be seen happening in all videos of the second plane which have the right wing in view just before impact. See images of this here:

So why does the wing "disappear" in some videos? It's due to lossy digital video compression. From this east side angle the light reflecting off of the underside of the wing is so close in color to the backgroud sky that video compression algorithms don't distinguish between the two. The wing therefore becomes part of the pixelated blue sky.

Videos posted for viewing on the internet are always heavily compressed to conserve bandwidth. Lossy compression codecs, even high quality mpeg2 codec used for comercial DVD's, discard the majority of the original video data. Typical lossy compression codecs will:
Reduce color nuances within the image.
Reduce the color resolution with respect to the prevailing light intensity.
Remove small, invisible parts of the picture.
Compare adjacent images and remove redundant image data that are unchanged between them.

In this video I used an uncompressed copy of the video footage and added some contrast to it after zooming in. The wing can still be seen. Even though the original video is in standard definition, I had to convert it to HD before uploading it to youtube. Why? Because even when I uploaded a high-quality AVI in original format, the flash video compression used by youtube kept erasing the plane's wing!

Set your youtube player to HD quality for the clearest image of the "missing wing".

Note: I discovered after making this post that someone else had already up-loaded this same clip in HD format back in July. See it here:

Can you see the wing?

I made this video when I came across "9/11 Vanishing Wing in HD (Best Video Ever)WOW!!! Debunk This" (   • Video  ). So I accepted the challenge since similar videos are still getting lots of hits on youtube.
