Dave Berkebile, who was about 70, was watching the news of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, when he heard something like a thunderclap outside his house in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. He grabbed his videocamera and shot this video of smoke rising from the crash of United Flight 93, on which the passengers fought the jihadis right down into the turf. You can see the video above. Dave and his wife, Cathy, jumped in their car and raced to the crash site. They wanted to pick up as many survivors as they could, bring them home, and let them call their families to let them know they were OK. But all they found was the smoking hole. Cathy said that Dave offered the video to the television news but nobdy took him up on the offer or were even interested in looking at it. Berkebile didn't know quite what to do with the video, so he gave it to Val McClatchey five years ago. Val is the one who snapped a photo of the smoke cloud and was rewarded by years of harassing phone calls from Truther maggots accusing her of faking the photo as part of their idiot conspiracy nonsense. Berkebile passed away last February at 80 years old. Val has donated his video to the National Park Service for its oral history of September 11, where it will be preserved for history.
