This YouTube user has NO previous uploads.
And it's not uploaded direct from a camera phone, look - they've overlaid the @woolwichfinest caption.
This is a professional (freelance) forgery.
All the "amateur footage" of the second planestrike on 9/11, ALL of them, EVERY SINGLE ONE was shot by a freelance professional in the TV or photographic industry.
Most of them digital re-touch specialists.

This guy seems remarkably well-informed for a passer-by on the street with a camera phone, uploading what he is seeing.
Even his punctuation is good.
Almost like a press release, in fact.
Notice also, it's very strictly formatted in terms of the capitalisation of the title, bullet points in the description etc. all of which is characteristic of Civil Service product.
Another phony account. The upload of the 1987 SAS Gibraltar shooting incident is very cute.
Again, we see hallmarks of fakery and Psy-war in this early upload, as well - this time, the username for the account appears to have been randomly generated and created by software rather than a person (can you imagine having to remember, type and re-enter THAT ugly string of letters numbers whenever you wanted to log in...?) and the small number of previous uploads, along with the nature of their content are very revealing.
As of midnight on Day 1, going in to 23rd May 2013, this out-of-uniform unknown solder STILL does not have a name or a family or any next of kin.
Who the hell is this guy?
I am holding out still for confirming evidence of either his murder or indeed even the reality or fact of his existence.
But hope springs eternal.
As of right now, there is none.
It's been confirmed - Police stopped all the traffic and were there 10 mins before they arrived, waiting around the corner.
This is street theatre.
This lorry has no license plates.
Front or back.
It's still there hours later.
This is what they used to close the road off and control the flow of traffic, restricting access to the proximity of the scene to actors, extras and agents.

This has clear precedents and well-established antecedents.

Note: these women claim to have been victims of the Russel Square / Kings Cross Tube explosion and were interviewed wandering around Brunswick Square around 9.30am on 7/7, sometime before the bus explosion in adjacent Tavistock Square at 9.49am.
The Russell Square blast occurred at approx, 8.48am and passengers caught aboard the train describe being left in the pitch darkness and choking black smoke for over 30 mins before any evacuation of the train and the tunnel began., with the whole evacuation not being complete for up to another 4 hrs.
Jeff Bauman, a Boston Marathon runner who lost both of his legs during the bombings on Monday, has helped identify the two suspects responsible for the horror.
Police are hunting for suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, while his brother and accomplice Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a shootout that also left one police officer injured Thursday night. Another cop, Sean Collier, was found dead in his police cruiser earlier in the night after allegedly being slain by the pair.
The city of Boston is currently under lockdown on Friday, with residents urged to not leave their homes as the search for the "armed and dangerous" suspect continues.
Bauman was featured in some of the most graphic and widespread photographs taken from the finish line right after the bombings. In the viral images, the marathon runner appears bleeding, bruised and pale- many media outlets blurred or cropped out his mangled legs from the photo.
Despite his grave injuries, Bauman revealed essential details that helped ID the bombers, and had even made eye contact with one right before the bomb deployed.
"He woke up under so much drugs, asked for a paper and pen and wrote, 'bag, saw the guy, looked right at me,'" Bauman's brother Chris recounted, according to the Associated Press.
Furthermore, Bauman told the FBI that the suspect wore "a cap, sunglasses and a black jacket over a hooded sweatshirt."
Critically injured from one of the bombs, Bauman had both of his legs amputated at the knee before undergoing an additional surgery due to fluid in his abdomen.
The image of Bauman went viral not only because of its gruesome content, but because of the herosim amid the bombings. The 27-year-old received a rush of care from strangers, including the man pictured in a white cowboy hat by his side. The man was later identified as Carlos Arredondo, Costa Rican immigrant and former firefighter.
Bauman is fortunate to be alive, but the bombings did cause the deaths of Martin Richard, Krystle Campbell, and Lingzi Lu.
This is about the most obvious provocation I have ever seen.
There is absolutely no explanation for the armed police just opening fire without warning.
They want riots tonight.
This next image is pixielated in most versions.
You can see why.
Did they decapitate him, or chop him in two...?
