Flight 175 and The Truth about 'The Truth in 7 Minutes' in FIVE Minutes
Short introduction and note by Andrew Johnson [ADJ]
Below, Mark has carefully documented some further errors made by Markus Allen in a recent response to another error he made in an earlier video. The thrust of what Markus Allen appears to be trying to say is that “the videos of Flight 175 crashing into the WTC are fake”. This, of course, has been a topic much discussed on 9/11 “truth” websites. I have come to the conclusion, partly because of what I have covered in this article, that there has been a deliberate attempt to promote the 9/11 video fakery position in order to obscure or cover up the knowledge of the use of some type of image projection technology, which was used to create a very powerful illusion of plane crashes. For those chuckling about this idea, simply try and account for the physical evidence that plane wings cannot cut through steel box-girders and also account for the fact that some witnesses did not see or hear any planes at the WTC site, whilst others did.
This article follows-on from my previous article Disinformation in Flight 175 Rare Video (Posted Sep 11 2013) I published 13th September, 2013. It appears, Markus Allen has now acknowledged his “error” about the buildings location, which he misrepresented in his YouTube video, alleging Flight 175's wing passed behind the building in foreground. Markus Allen claimed this shouldn’t have happened because the buildings in question were behind the South Tower, which was proof of "video fakery". According Markus Allen, it was evidence of a “CGI glitch”. Now that we have sorted-out this ‘error’ by Markus Allen regarding the building location and the fact that Flight 175’s wing should’ve passed behind the building, this should put the matter to rest. Well no, in fact it has opened the door for yet another theory by Markus Allen, that Michael Hezarkhani’s video location is impossible? See below:
Below, Markus Allen’s acknowledgement of his error regarding the building location and also his new theory about Michael Hezarkhani’s impossible video location?
He writes:
"Many commenters on this video have (rightly) pointed out that this video has a whopper of an error". "The two buildings that appear look like they're next to (or even behind) the Twin Towers, but in reality, these buildings (at both 17 Battery Place and 28 Washington Street) are indeed WAY in front of the viewing area as we see in this view from Battery Park"
"Also, the perspective of the view makes those two buildings appear to be taller than the Twin Towers (even though they're less than half the height)"
"In addition, coming out of the Battery Tunnel (next to Battery Park where this video is alleged to have been taken) looks nothing like what is shown in this video… you'd have to be in the middle of a bunch of trees in the park. It's an impossible shot from on the ground".
Analysis of Markus Allen’s New Theory of Impossible Hezarkhani Location:
Markus now claims that Michael Hezarkhani’s video location cannot be correct or achieved. He also incorrectly states that Michael Hezarkhani was coming out of the Battery Tunnel when he videoed his historic video of "alleged" Flight 175 hitting the South Tower. Michael Hezarkhani has never disclosed his location where he took his video from, so this is speculation by Markus Allen. It is speculated that Michael Hezarkhani took his video from the ferry which docked in Battery Park. Michael Hezarkhani happened to be in close proximity to Carmen Taylor who also captured Flight 175 with her camera. Carmen was stationed on the ferry, which she spoke about during a telephone conversation with Jeff Hill.
Below: is a comparison of Carmen Taylor’s Photograph and Michael Hezarkhani’s video below.
Carmen Taylor’s Photograph
Michael Hezarkhani Video
As you can see above, Carmen Taylor and Michael Herarkhani were in close proximity of each other when they captured Flight 175 hitting the South Tower.
[ADJ notes, some people have pointed out the strange correspondence between these two images – and the fact that in each image, the plane shows no appreciable motion blur. However, if what was moving was actually some type of image projection, not a physical object, we can imagine that any motion blur might be absent – this is speculation, of course…]
Let’s take a closer look at the photograph that Markus Allen has used to prove impossible location of Michael Hezarkhani’s video.
Carmen Taylor was located on the top deck of the Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty ferry when she took her pictures. This is why unless Markus is using a picture from the location on the ferry you will not capture the location correctly. It is believed that Michael Hezarkhani was stationed on the ferry along with Carmen Taylor.

Let’s deal with Markus Allen’s other claim about the ‘height’ of the ‘Twin Towers’ against the other building in the foreground.
Markus Allen said:
"Also, the perspective of the view makes those two buildings appear to be taller than the Twin Towers (even though they're less than half the height). In addition, coming out of the Battery Tunnel (next to Battery Park where this video is alleged to have been taken) looks nothing like what is shown in this video… you'd have to be in the middle of a bunch of trees in the park. It's an impossible shot from on the ground".
Markus Allen's comparison image below:
Note: In the Michael Hezarkhani video zoom-out image below, it demonstrates that Michael Hezarkhani was farther back from the buildings in the foreground compared to Markus Allen's poor comparison image above, which does not accurately represent Michael Hezarkhani's location.
Carmen Taylor took several photographs from different distances from the twin towers which we can use below to see how the size of the twin towers look compared to the buildings in the foreground. See comparisons below:
The following photo below was taken by Eeney Minnie Moe in 2007 from approximately the same position taken from about the middle of the top deck. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=125x180637
For comparison purposes, here is a frame from the Hezarkhani video:
Judging by the buildings, Taylor and Hezarkhani were both a little to the right of this position (so the trees are not seen from exactly the same angle), and a little farther back. (This would make the trees appear somewhat shorter relative to the buildings, and of course the trees have had six years of additional growth since 2001). I believe this indicates that Eeney Minnie Moe's ferry was probably at the same dock as the Taylor/Hezarkhani ferry, but they were both farther toward the stern and farther back from the railing.

In Conclusion
It appears that the location where Michael Hezarkhani recorded his "historic" video footage of Flight 175 hitting the South Tower was from the top deck of the Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty ferry. He was in close proximity to Carmen Taylor who also photographed her "historic" picture of Flight 175 hitting the South Tower also.
Important Updates - 24/02/2017
More evidence proving that Michael Hezarkhani was stationed on the top deck of a ferry boat, demonstrating where he videoed 'Flight 175' impacting the South Tower is in this video here below:
Hezarkhani's Google Earth location for comparison, which only lines-up the buildings when you're on the top deck of the ferry boat in Battery Park.
Also see new video evidence which is at the beginning of Michael Hezarkhani's video which shows that he is on-board the ferry boat which didn't leave the dock in Battery Park, and he is video recording the Statue of Liberty. This can also be confirmed by Carmen Taylor, who also took pictures from the ferry boat in close proximity to Michael Hezarkhani's location as seen above in this article.
This case is now closed.
UPDATE 25th February 2022:
NEW "Flight 175" Plane Video - Taken From Ferry At Battery Park On 9/11
By Mark Conlon
This is to inform people of a new 2nd plane (UA175) video captured by Kevin Westly on 9/11 which was uploaded to YouTube on 24th February 2022. The video was taken from the top deck of the ferry in Battery Park, close by to where the famous Michael Hezarkhani video was taken, along with Carmen Taylor's photographs she took.
Below, is the original video source from Kevin's YouTube channel:
Interestingly, Hezarkhani can be seen in the video when Kevin Westly pans around the ferry boat. See below:
Another video fakery promoter Steve De’ak, claimed in an April 2017 video he produced and posted on his YouTube Channel, that Hezarkhani was using a tripod. See below:
As I have proven in this article and video analysis, Hezarkhani was clearly is not using a tripod which was claimed by Steve De'ak. I have also proven that Hezarkhani was indeed stationed on the top deck of the Ferry Boat.
Carmen Taylor's Photographs Location
Below, are 4 photos showing Carmen Taylor's location on the ferry boat. 3 of the photos are Carmen Taylor's personal photos which she posted to Canadian researcher Jeff Hill on his pumpitout forum after disclosing her location to him during a phone call, explaining where she was located on the corner of the ferry boat, wedged in between the metal box and guard rail, which she shows in her 2 photos.
To conclude, I hope this clears up this matter regarding Michael Hezarkhani of Michael Hezarkhani and Carmen Taylor’s location. The evidence proves beyond any doubt, that both Hezarkhani and Taylor were present on the top deck of the ferry boat on 9/11, which I have maintained for many years since conducting various analysis and studies of the video and photographic evidence.
This case is now definitely closed.
