I really wish I hadn't seen the video... not because it was graphic, violent or disgusting but because of the damn numbers... because they would indicate that there was 11 hours between some scenes... because that's something any idiot editing something together wouldn't let happen... it's called continuity. Now I have this question in my head wondering about those missing 11 hours.

It is possible that there were 2 cameramen... and the different time displays would be caused by that. 2 seperate tapes that show different times for one reason or another. If it was actual time being displayed the camcorders could have been set in different time zones or something. If it was a real-time (amount of time passed since the tape was inserted into the playback unit) display of each tape being played (and they were probably using VHS camcorders) then those could be different simply because there are two different tapes and machines - the time display is not something hard-coded in the tape itself when it's the real-time display... only when it's actual time (as in time of the day) is it anywhere near accurate when it comes to non-time coded formats like consumer quality VHS equipment. That's assuming that the image of the time display was actually recorded to the tape and you _wouldn't_ be able to turn off the display if that's the case... and any idiot editing something would turn off the display if it messed up continuity like this.

I don't wish I hadn't seen the video. I wish they would have edited it better... instead of giving conspiracy theorists something to drool over :(

I'm a huge fan of show that debunk conspiracy theories.
