Strange Death of Father Judge
I see one of the fireperps holding an automatic pistol in the area where they are soon going to "find" the dead chaplain! Also maybe a hypodermic needle in the hands of another. Also a more cattle-prod-like thing at another instant.
Put your glasses on and warm up your zoom-in and slow-mo buttons if your remote has 'em.
See the south tower fall, in an airborne shot from the south. It is the only shot in the movie that actually shows the ST coming down.
Hear Ghoolz say that he realized, "Okay, I'm not dead, so let's turn on my floodlight, on top of my camera."
Wait a moment and then hear Hanlon say this:
"Inside the Trade Center, all Jules and Chief Pfeifer knew ... all ANYONE knew .... was that SOMETHING, had gone TERRIBLY wrong."
Now back up and WATCH the ACTION DURING that sentence. The important sentence to pay attention to, again, is:
"Inside the Trade Center, all Jules and Chief Pfeifer knew ... all ANYONE knew .... was that SOMETHING, had gone TERRIBLY wrong."
Say it out loud. Memorize it. Done? okay now follow along closely to the parts of that one sentence.
On Hanlon's words "Inside the Trade Center," see the back of a man's head, which had just suddenly filled the middle of the screen after a cut. MR. BACKOFHEAD. He has no ff helmet on, and I think his jacket is civlian, but I am not certain that it is not a ff jacket.
See that Mr. Backofhead is looking between, and blocking our view of, two firemen, one of whom, the one on the right, being Perpfer, I think.
Watch Mr. Backofhead's right shoulder. See him drop it and push it forward, and then pull it back rather swiftly--as though extending-and- then-pulling-back his right ARM--into, and then rather swiftly out of, the space between those two ff's (Perpfer on right, unknown on left).
I think the chaplain might be in that space where Mr. Backofhead's right side took an interest.
All of that is on Hanlon's words, "Inside the Trade Center."
"UPDATE. See also this 2-to-4-second snippet at DVD clock time 1:59:45. Note how similar it is to the first Mr. Backofhead clip. It looks like Mr. Backofhead again, thrusting his right arm again, near Pfeifer again, except it is filmed from farther over to our right. And in both clips, the chaplain's (or somebody's) LEFT HAND is on Pfeifer's BACK. It is as though Pfeifer is cradling the chaplain while Mr. Backofhead is thrusting his right arm toward the chaplain. Anyway, apparently there was either a SECOND, UNDISCLOSED CAMERA filming the SAME arm-thrust, or else, the man we call Backofhead REPEATEDLY thrusted his arm."

Next, let Hanlon say the words, "all Jules and Chief Pfeifer knew ... all ANYONE knew"
Now, at this point, before Hanlon resumes speaking, see: a CUT, and then, see man in left background possibly handing something to man in center background (Perpfer?). Or are they just huddling?
Next, when Hanlon says, "was that SOMETHING," see man in left foreground. See his right hand rise from offscreen below. See that his right hand is holding a brick radio (walkie talkie), the black rubber antenna extending forward and up out of his right fist which encloses it.
Now see his right INDEX FINGER, crooked over a whitish possibly plastic cylinder which is maybe an inch in diameter and six inches long.
What is that thing in his index finger? A magic marker? A hypodermic needle?

See him lightly press his right hand into Perpfer's back, possibly to signal a handoff.
All of that is on Hanlon's words, "was that SOMETHING"
Next, our view gets blocked.
Then, Hanlon says, "had gone TERRIBLY wrong."
Now see this latest view-blocker ask Ghoolz, "Got a light?"
Now see view-blocker point to our right with his right hand. Pointing for where Ghoolz should point his light. But don't let him distract you! Instead of looking where he's pointing, look at the BOTTOM of the screen, just BELOW his pointing-to-our-right Right Hand.
NOW SEE SOMEONE ELSE'S RIGHT HAND, HOLDING SOMETHING LIKE A 9-MILLIMETER PISTOL.
It's only a few frames, but I think it looks A LOT like a gun.
It is being held with its TOP edge FACING US, with its BARREL pointed to our RIGHT, and with its right SIDE facing the GROUND.
See the gun move closer to us for a couple frames, but then tantalizingly slip offscreen to the bottom.
The cattle-prod-like thing comes just a few seconds later at most, mostly mid foreground. Could be another brick radio antenna, but looks thicker and pointier and more metallic to me.
Whew, I've been really trying to spell this out, I hope you can see it all.Here from Webfairy is an extended excerpt in Quicktime which includes (at full speed) one of the Mr. Backofhead excerpts above, plus the "Syringe" excerpt above, plus the "Cattleprod" excerpt above.

Same general time and place as the Father Judge footage.
Inside WTC-1 Lobby shortly after the demolition of WTC-2.
Middle vicinity of picture: long gun barrel with aiming stud on end and
smoke wisp coming out?
