ALL OF THE BUILDINGS AND PERSPECTIVES SHARE A PLANE. SO IT IS 2D.

As I said, remedial geometry for you.

In your illustration we would see the corner of WTC1 from POV2. Not the front side, as we actually do. Also this POV would hide WTC2, as it appearantely doesn't.
The front side would only be able to be seen from POV1.

Dude, the proportions and scale of my picture can be changed arbitrarily to show exactly what the photographs do.

But take a look at the pictures: Two front side images of WTC1. Two frnt side images of ESB as well.

VERY SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT ANGLES OF THE FRONT SIDE. You are aware that from very far away, even a significant change of location and angle won't change what something looks like, right?

see attached power point (rename the extension to .PPT instead of .ZIP)

kuci beat me to it.

Holy **** you actually put effort into this? I spent maybe 60 seconds in Paint (half of which was figuring out how to increase the font size).

I know what you mean. But given that, how do you explain the massive move of the ESB then?

By the fact that the ESB is A LOT CLOSER TO THE CAMERA than the WTC.

I did notice that the thread features a icon, so it might be an odd joke.

While I don't mind a good conspiracy theory or two, I really prefer to watch paint dry compared to such a stupid and imbecile as this

[Kuciwalker]

I have a low tolerance for stupidity real or pretended right now, I'm in the middle of about 50 induction proofs

How far away is ESB from Ground Zero? 10 miles? Or even more?

[Kuciwalker]

Go look at a map.

Could a moderator please change "this picture" to "oedo" in the title?

[Sirotnikov]

i know this seems very silly, but you guys shouldn't come down on oedo as harsh.

Not all people are very good in spacial geometry, and some people totally lack the skills to visualize this stuff. They're not dumb.

Oedo is reponsible for discovering stuff in Civ II that no one had noticed for years.

Sirotnikov, I tried to open your attachement, but the zip seems to be corrupted. Can you check it please?

Edit: forget it. works now. Watching it.

Nah, a better guess is that oedo as part of his therapy have had acces to a computer and when the evening bell rings he have to take on his straight jacket and return to his rubber cell
