The current geopolitical landscape can generously be described as a hot mess. Not only has the Kremlin initiated an unjustified invasion of Ukraine but now the nuclear card is on the table in a way that it hasn’t been in decades.
All eyes are on Ukraine so some conspiracy theorists are wondering if a recently revealed, previously unknown video showing an angle of the 9/11 attacks might have an ulterior motive.
The video shows the moment that the second plane struck the South Tower.
In the shocking video uploaded to Kevin Westley’s Youtube channel, Westley and many others can be heard exclaiming at the horror of the first plane crash.
At the time New Yorkers would have had no idea what was going on or what was to come and it was still a total unknown whether or not the strikes were intentional. Westley’s video captures the panic and horror that ensued when the second plane crashed into the South Tower.
Westley can be heard repeatedly exclaiming, “oh my lord” in the video while others ask, “what’s going on?” curse and cry and scream in the confused terror of the moment.
Westley can also be heard saying, “It was a United airplane that just crashed right into it.” to which another bystander responds, “that wasn’t a crash, that was- that was a dead-on kill” and another person can be heard exclaiming, “he did it on purpose!”
The release of the video has conspiracy theorists speculating.
The video comes at a strange time as the war in Ukraine rages on and this has some conspiracy theorists spinning tales that it might have been released with some sort of objective.
new 9/11 video just appears out of nowhere on youtube posted by kevin westley, a former air force nuclear strategies director at area 51, which has supposedly been under wraps for 20 years and somehow in the video he knows exactly where the plane is coming from and what airline… pic.twitter.com/gbip7guO8F

Currently, the questions around the video seem to need some fleshing out so it remains to be seen how exactly Westley’s video will be enshrined in theorists’ 9/11 conspiracy corkboard.
Comments flooded social media posts of the video about why it is only being released now and some pointed out that the timing of the release coincides with the Russian invasion and the State of the Union address.
The explanation for the delayed release may be as simple as the truth because Westley states in the description for the video that he originally uploaded the video in the 2000s but had it set to private by accident.
Online, people have questioned whether this was an accident but many of the theorists have failed to give an accurate explanation as to why someone would deliberately keep the video hidden.
