Why does the start of that gif have people walking past? How is it relevant to the gif? At first I thought he was being racist but m'eh.

OnT: I was quite disappointed, would have been interesting to see what condition they were in. Though the first hand accounts of the planes being buried is a bit confusing. I did read the project lead is refusing to accept they aren't there and is looking at digging elsewhere.
