Why Today Hover Five Helicopters Over 7WTC?
Edit: Turns out they're not actually over 7WTC, just looks that way. Apparently an empty building on Reade St. collapsed. I just saw a guy sitting in one of these choppers on the TV news.

Better or Worser?
I really don't like the jitter in HTLGZ:TM, but it's hard to avoid -- in the absence of a weather-control machine, the sky is bound to look different every day. And so the colors flash, and it's hard to watch, even after I try to normalize colors and interpolate between frames.
So here's trying something different. Here, each day's "photo" is replaced by a 10-day moving average. The result is much more watchable, but strange-looking, because the construction equipment gets averaged out, and structures just appear out of nowhere.
So ... better, or worser?

PS: To those of you who think I should use a Gaussian kernel smoother instead (you know who you are!), tell me how to express it as a sequence of pairwise weighted averages, and maybe I'll consider it.

Copycats
Look, look, what have we here? Granted, the quality and angle are an improvement over my amateurish efforts, but I still claim priority!
Very well, "Port Authority of New York and New Jersey", if that is in fact your real name. I will play this game with you! I see your crane-jump and raise you a video of all the sunrises and sunsets in the month of April (so far)!
Youtube version
The proverbial ball is in your court. Astonish me!
P.S: You don't really have to astonish me. All you need to do is stop jackhammering after 8pm, and re-open Liberty Street to foot traffic, and I will sing your praises and proclaim your videos the greatest on all the Internets.
