W-ABC Camera Type Identification CNN and FOX showing the same synched local 'live' feed from W-ABC (ABC7), by using a military camera system Only 1-2 minutes after the '2nd attack', CNN and FOX stop to broadcast the same synched local feed from W-ABC (ABC7) At the end of the synched W-ABC 7 pick-up feed you can clearly recognise parts of a helicopter cam attachment (see below, to be identified later) Note: FOX then switches to local W-CBS feed, who had no own live footage of 2nd hit (CBS only aired at an unknown time, much later after the second attack, some footage allegedly 'filming' some flying object, buttering into the front, see collections here) Identification of the W-ABC Camera System At around 9:08 AM EST, FOX TV goes back to the original W-ABC live camera (no 'tight shot' anymore), now showing for only 1 second, then suddenly zooming out again, the identification of the camera type: A "WESCAM". A "WESCAM" is a special anti-vibration camera that mounts on a helicopter and delivers some really stellar visuals. We know, that this helicopter was steady the whole time and that all media choppers had been whisked out of the area. Why would a regular media copter remain steady at this position, already before the second hit, not moving at all? Why also did this unidentified helicopter chose a position where the South Tower is hidden and covered by the North Tower, instead of flying just a little bit to the side, to get a better angle? Was this chopper really from W-ABC or maybe one of the identified U.S. Helicopters, as seen on some footage at time of second hit and confirmed on WINS. After both attacks also on the footage of Rick Siegel (911eyewitness.Com), you can visibly notice 14-16 other helicopters, who passed the crime scene Who was the pilot of the "W-ABC broadcast" and who was the cameraman? Why did U.S. Miltary Helicopters had been in time before the second hit, but no F-16? Did these military media perps really film a flying object? Or would the original footage reveal an empty lanscape, then in reality upgraded with a 'live'-CGI, synched and uploaded via vector-keying? WESCAM is a military camera system The "WESCAM" was actually improved and integrated into the U.S. Military, specificially as part of L-3 Communication: (Note: L-3 Communications was created in April, 1997 with the purchase of business units that were part of the Loral Corporation and Lockheed Martin merger in 1996) Among their features are: Single and multi-spectral payloads Short-range, mid-range and long-range lenses Daylight, low-light and thermal sensor cameras Laser rangefinders and designators "...Wescam’s visual information systems are used by the most discriminating customers around the world including armed forces; federal and local law enforcement agencies; broadcasters of news, entertainment and sports; and NASA...." This camera was certified in 2000. The description of this advanced camera system shows, that it can work with paralell real time video edit functions, I.e. Live-Inserts of CGI's (Computer generated Imagery): "...our integration technology takes visual information one step further, by providing the most advanced end-to-end system solution. Visual imaging can be integrated with radar, Global Positioning Systems, Inertial Navigation Systems, moving maps, communication encryption protocols, etc. To provide a turnkey package for real-time visual information..." Wescam conducts business under 3 brands: L3 Military and Defense Sales Live Sports Coverage APS Custom Lens Assemblies L3 explains, that these kind of cameras are also used for live sports broadcast, adding additional imagery within their complete system, including "point-of-view": "...remote controlled miniature camera systems to the broadcast industry, has allowed us to provide incredible point-of-view coverage of live sporting events..." "...digital and analog wireless communication systems - Wescam combines superior imaging technology with digital and analog wireless transmission and reception to enable our customers to communicate high quality video images and data from moving vehicles to remote receive stations..." The L-3 Iraq war connection L3 became more popular regarding the bio of Jay Garner, who was appointed by US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to head the Office of Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance in post-war Iraq. He had also directed several major Defense Department programs, was Commander of Space and Strategic Defense Command and assistant Chief of Staff until his retirement in 1997. After retiring as a three-star general, Garner became president of SY Technology, a provider of communications and targeting systems for missiles which was bought in January 2002 by L-3 Communications for a reported $48 million.

Seabiscuit,” a flatbed vehicle about 12in. off the ground carrying two animatronic horses that slid up and down a short track on the flatbed. The purpose of that vehicle was to get moving, closeup footage of the jockeys in the heat of a race, as they bump and slide into each other... ...Shooting real horses in action, though, even with the insert car, required careful planning and practice because horses can accelerate faster than vehicles. “We had to figure out how much of a head start to give the car because it took a quarter-mile for the camera car to get up to full speed, while the horses could accelerate to full speed much quicker — they can generally go from zero to forty in three or four strides,” says Ross..." "...Visual-effects shots, meanwhile, permitted Ross to film whatever he wanted at modern racetracks without worrying what might creep into the shot's background.

UCAVs and their unarmed, surveillance counterparts, UAVs, are hot topics with all of the services right now.... K-ABC improved transmitting system in 2005 "...KABC-TV (adopted the Eyewitness News format in 1969) also has the market's only news helicopter capable of shooting and transmitting HDTV. The helicopter branded Air7HD made its on air debut in February 2005.
