Blake created a flipbook consisting of images of United Airlines Flight 175 crashing into the South Tower of the World Trade Center . Accompanying the images are essays written by a wide range of participants , each expressing their personal experience of the September 11 attacks . In addition , the authors of the essays were asked to reflect on , and respond to , the flipbook itself . Not surprisingly , the majority of the essayists experienced the events through news network footage . Blake is distributing his '' 9/11 Flipbook '' s to encourage a constructive dialog regarding the media 's participation in sensationalizing the tragedy . To further illustrate his point , Blake conducted a media study using the 9/11 TV News Archive to count the number of times major news networks showed the plane crashes , building collapses , and people falling from the towers on September 11 , 2001 . According to Blake 's media study , CNN showed the planes hitting the towers 109 times between 9 a.m. and midnight , or about once every eight minutes . The BBC showed the same footage 240 times , roughly 16 times per hour . CNN also showed the collapse of the towers repeatedly — 161 times , or once every five minutes . One of the essays , written by a New York resident , includes a wry remark about how , despite the resident 's close proximity to the towers from his rooftop on 9/11 , he had a " better view on the TV . " The '' 9/11 Flipbook '' project is ongoing and Blake is still accepting written reactions to it
