Back in 2001/2002, I went to a series of seminars hosted by the artist Natalie Jeremijenko. One of the presenting artists had footage of the Pentagon attack, taken from a camera he had set up on the Potomac River. He refused to give anyone else access to it. "I want to think about how to best present this footage." he said. I still have never seen that footage again to this day, and the selfishness makes me angry whenever I think of it.

- barneygale 5y agoIf the CIA/FBI wanted to make people think a plane had hit the pentagon, why wouldn't they just use a plane? This conspiracy theory is one of the dumbest.
- w0de0 5y agoThe frustration got the better of you, and so here you are responding in anger to foolishness on the internet! No matter, happens to all of us. Have some relevant comedy as a salve: https://youtu.be/5muY64Oyp10 https://youtu.be/5muY64Oyp10
- etherael 5y agoGov confiscated all footage of incident is not the same thing as because incident nature was x and they were conducting a coverup. (I have no idea if the footage was confiscated from all people, only that the footage from certain fixed nearby locations was confiscated, and have never seen any proof this was done because it was a coverup attempt.)
- rendall 5y agoIt was 20 years ago. Maybe someone documented that seminar, and can look up who the presenting artist was, but I sure didn't.
- GnarfGnarf 5y agoCould simply have been a hoax, to attract attention. (Having the video, I mean, not the attack).
- ectopod 5y agoWhat's the hoax? OP has seen the video.
- spiderice 5y agoHave they? It isn’t clear to me if they’ve seen it or just heard that it exists

- CincinnatiMan 5y ago> I still have never seen that footage again to this day I took the "again" to mean they've seen it atleast once.
- rendall 5y agoSorry, I tried to be clear. I did see the video. The artist had it online behind a password-protected web page. He went to some URL at his own site, put in a name and password, and played the video. Some of us asked him how we could see the video again, and that's when he told us that it wasn't "public", that he wanted to hold onto it until he could figure out how to best present it or whatever-the-fuck ever.
- GnarfGnarf 5y agoThe video may be fake. Jeremijenko, the "artist", withholds it to avoid detailed examination.
- rendall 5y agoI really was not clear, sorry. Nathalie Jeremijenko was not the artist who had the video. She hosted a seminar where a sequence of artists gave talks. One of these artists presented that video at the seminar. I really don't see how it could have been a hoax. Computer art and animation was my thing at the time, and I'm pretty sure I would have noticed a fake. 20 years ago, computer animation was pretty good, but it was a rare few who could make truly realistic renders and composit them into recorded video. Not that guy, for sure.
