9/11 - Loose Change

18-05-2006 15:01

Loose Change 2nd Edition

Loose Change Second Edition, a film about the events of Septemer 11th 2001, has become a net phenomenon — it currently (18th May 2006) holds the 1st, 4th and 26th places on the Google Video top 100 and this is in competion with lots of very short titillation clips (eg Webcam Girls Go Wild) and dubious humour clips (eg funny clips baby fart).

Loose Change is the most popular 9/11 "conspiracy theory" film, no doubt due to its slick graphics, soundtrack and editing — for an amateur movie it is impressive. However it's not the most accurate movie of its type — see the discussion on indybay and the detailed Sifting Through Loose Change — The 9-11 Research Companion.

Read on for a brief guide to some better 9/11 videos that deserve more attention...
