La Vanguardia’s WTC lies

John Chappell picks up on the Vanguardia “exclusive” from June/July re alleged mysterious shadows on the fuselage of the second WTC plane (English version here). Unlike professional conspiracy theorists, La Vanguardia make no attempt to appear credible:

• Where are the images on which their conclusions are based?
• Who is the nameless digital imaging expert at the Mataró Poly who confirmed their suspicions? (FYI: Mataró is a small beach town whose college has no reputation to defend in this field or in any other of which I am aware.)
• Who did they talk to at Boeing?
• If this is such a mind-blowing discovery, why haven’t they alerted the rest of the world’s media?

To set your mind at rest, here are two exhibits:

• A photo of UA-175 just before impact. There is only one shadow on the fuselage: that of the right engine.
• A map of the area and the plane’s path. This serves to confirm that the shadow is in the correct position for the time of day.

Either they’re deliberately lying or they’re very, very stupid. Could have been written by Rafael Ramos.
