I believe that he is talking about this shot.

Looks like the shadows come from something out of frame on the right side. And I assume the red dot is a laser pointer?

Just a guess...

look infront of the other buildings...the shadows that make up the twin towers are actually probably big 2x4's or something out of the frame closer to the light.

The further away from the wall and the nearer the light source an object is, the larger the shadow it casts will be. It's just science :)

dude...are you serious?

There are like two 2x4's or something (big long piece of wood OUT OF CAMERA RANGE) casting a shadow on the wall behind all of that. You can see the shadow line come in from like the bottom right corner and lead all the way to the wall -- at which point they stand straight up because they hit the wall.

Those two 'buildings' that sit in the shadows are not the ones casting that big shadow.
