My French friends have been e-mailing the following link to what is purported to be a newly released videoclip of the second plane, United Flight #175, impacting with Tower Two, the south tower of the World Trade Center, on September 11, 2001. Taken from below the towers, looking up at the attack, the tape is especially chilling because of the cameraman's (and therefore viewer's) proximity, and, unlike other such sequences, this one shows the reflection of the fireball on the side of the adjacent building.

WARNING: Like other footage of this type (my book lists 3 videographers who caught the first plane's approach and collision, and 35 photographers and videographers who recorded the second), the clip is very difficult to watch and process. To view the video, CLICK HERE.
