Notice how comparatively long the camera lingers in advance of the second hit.
Running a bit behind schedule perhaps?

The Tilt-Down Move


Why? Because it's as if Gidiot was thinking something really preposterous: "Okay, a plane flying into a building, and the building is starting to explode, so now I must do as film school taught me to do whenever this happens, and tilt down to get the all-important CROWD REACTION instead of the event itself."

I mean that's just a ridiculous thing for him to think, right? But what else could the tilt-down mean? What WAS Gidiot THINKING? Jets NEVER hit skyscrapers, yet his attention was somehow NOT *RIVETED* by a (supposed) jet hitting a skyscraper. Therefore I guess he must have been EXPECTING this jet to hit this skyscraper, no, and had prior INSTRUCTIONS to tilt down once he saw it going into the building?

NO ONE ELSE'S EYES ON THE PLANET went from looking at a big plane crash, to IMMEDIATELY finding some OTHER thing, somewhere ELSE, MORE INTERESTING to look at. While, I might add, the early-explosion DIMPLES were still visible.

And then Gidiot probably tilted back UP too SOON. That would explain the CUT, wouldn't it?
