Dummies Guide to 9/11, No. 7

FROM Simon Shack at September Clues:

I have chosen to commemorate the Grand 9/11 Hoax – on its 25th anniversary – by reviewing the ‘snuff movie’ known as “9/11” (released in 2002) which was passed off as a real-life documentary by two French filmmaker brothers (Jules and Gédéon Naudet) who, as the story goes, just happened to capture BOTH of the alleged WTC1 and WTC2 plane impacts, at 8:46 and 9:03 AM. The movie’s director, we are told, is one James Hanlon – a former journalist at The New York Daily News (who then became a firefighter…). Here’s from Hanlon’s IMDB page:

“In 1994, with a degree in Journalism & Media and over twenty stage plays in New York City under his belt, he left his job at The New York Daily News in 1994 to become a FDNY firefighter, after a friend bet him $500 that he couldn’t pass the physical exam.”

THE BASIC NARRATIVE OF THE NAUDETS BROTHERS’ MOVIE

A few days before 9/11, the two Frenchmen had started shooting a movie about a young rookie (or ‘probie’) firefighter at New York City’s FDNY fire department – a timid young chap named ‘Tony Benetatos’ (which is a Greek patronymic surname meaning “The Blessed”). The purported gist of the movie was to show how the young Tony would become a MAN (in only “9 months of training”). Tony was allocated to the NYFD station at Duane Street (incidentally perhaps… “DUANE ST.” is an anagram of the “NAUDETS” brothers).

The 2-hour-long movie (produced and aired by CBS News) starts with Tony eagerly waiting for his first fire to fight. Tony gets frustrated because, for days and days, he is just left washing the dishes in the firehouse – and is never called to a fire scene. Then, on September 10, we see Tony being instructed by James Hanlon – right in front of the WTC towers (in the backdrop). Here’s a frame from that precise moment in the movie:
