Edit #2

Image 2 was enlarged using "bicubic interpolation" to 960 pixels high for editing.
Both images were then resized to 640 pixels high here.

This victim appears to be a male wearing a red shirt and darker pants. He definitely has his arms crossed while falling. It appears that his left hand was actually on top of his right arm while falling. He may be left-handed. There were not enough pixels to accurately edit the victim's face and hair.

Edit #1

Image 1 was edited from original image 8

Images 2-7 are unedited -- just cropped, rotated and resized using PSP "smart size" (bicubic interpolation). The edited victim's head is an "artistic interpretation." See Edit #2 above for victim's head unedited.

Original image resized using "pixel resize"

We had very few pixels to work with in the original image as you can see when the original 27x33 pixel image is resized using PSP "pixel resize" to 393x480 pixels in image 1 below. Details, like facial features and hairline, are impossible to retrieve from such a small image. The head area is less than 20 pixels!

"Bicubic interpolation" is used above because it is best for most accurately enlarging images.

The color of a pixel in an image enlarged with "Bicubic" interpolation is the mathematical average of colors of 16 adjacent pixels:

10   11   12
  2 3 4  
9 1 X 5 13
  8 7 6  
16   15   14

Therefore, to accurately recover detail from an area of an image using "bicubic interpolation" that area must have dimensions larger than 5 pixels. The face of this original image was only 3 pixels wide.

Images below were resized using "pixel resize." Image 1 was lightened with PSP gamma=3 and colored with HSL saturation=85.

Shame On You American-Hating Liberals Editorial by Tony Parsons, London Daily Mirror supporting America 9/11/02
A word of background -- the London Daily Mirror is a notoriously left-wing daily that normally does not support America. From the London Daily Mirror and an English journalist, no matter what your views on President Bush's statements about a potential upcoming war with Iraq, this is very interesting. God bless America.

bin Laden Killing and Training Manuals Part 1 bin Laden Killing and Training Manuals Part 1. Al Qaeda's Grocery Lists and Manuals of Killing. Reporters for The New York Times collected over 5,000 pages of documents from abandoned safe houses and training camps destroyed by bombs. This article is the first of several examining documents left behind in Afghanistan by Islamic militants. 3/17/02
10-Month bin Laden Mystery: Dead or Alive? The last sightings of the leader of Al Qaeda of which pursuers can be reasonably certain were here in the White Mountains of southeastern Afghanistan. Those sightings came nearly 10 months ago. 9/30/02
200 jump, fall and plunge to death from WTC USA TODAY estimates that at least 200 people jumped to their deaths that morning, far more than can be seen in the photographs taken that morning. Nearly all were from the north tower, which was hit first and collapsed last. Fewer than a dozen were from the south tower. 9/6/02
Why bin Laden is Dead?  The news first came from sources in Afghanistan and Pakistan almost six months ago: the fugitive died in December and was buried in the mountains of southeast Afghanistan. Pakistan's president, Pervez Musharraf, echoed the information. The remnants of Osama's gang, however, have mostly stayed silent, either to keep Osama's ghost alive or because they have no means of communication. 7/11/02
Towers Withstood Impact, but Fell to Fire, Report Says. Towers Withstood Impact, but Fell to Fire, Report Says. The incredible energy generated by this blaze was estimated to be three to five gigawatts at its peak. A typical nuclear power plant generates about one gigawatt. All of that energy was converted to deadly heat that began weakening the steel. 3/29/02
Pentagon Attack Slideshow New Photos Show Attack on Pentagon. A series of five photos obtained today show the first available images of the Pentagon as a plane hijacked by terrorists slammed into the building the morning of Sept. 11. www.washingtonpost.com  March 7, 2002
Why are Muslims so upset with the U.S.? The Core of Muslim Rage Because the real answer is rooted in something very deep. It has to do with the contrast between Islam's self-perception as the most ideal and complete expression of the three great monotheistic religions — Judaism, Christianity and Islam — and the conditions of poverty, repression and underdevelopment in which most Muslims live today. 3/6/02
