This link is from cbs news however I do not think it is their camera. What other sites have a live feed? Al-Jazeera has one but who else?

I would imagine with U.S. forces within 25 miles of Baghdad these cameras will go black shortly. If not, it will be one more wild thing this war has given us via the internet.

Kind Regards,

Clipper

We are still getting images and audio from Baghdad cam but for how long? Will the plug be pulled soon?

BTW Baghdad is now blacked out. No lights just flashes and headlights and sounds of explosions.

I believe the cam is from Abu Dabi TV, but I am not sure since its night there now and I can't see what the camera is aimed at.

I believe all or most reporters are now at the Palestine Hotel. My guess is they will stay there as long as posible. They have brought their own generators for the electricity. You can even hear the generators on the LiveWebCast link you provided.

Thanks Schoenorama, indeed it is Abu Dhabi TV but inconjunction with whom? Interesting that journalists are at the Hotel Palestine and not the El Rashid.

It is now daylight in Baghdad and all looks normal as of 0642 UDT. But for how long?

Interesting.

You know right now at 950AM Bagdad time it looks like a normal middle-eastern city.

No sign that there are troops at the airport.

Cool, they have sound to this too. You can hear the cars running and the occasional horn.

That camera appears to be aimed at a mosque.

Anybody know where this is filmed at what direction.

I believe it to be facing northeast (at this time)but I may be wrong. There have been 3 distinct views from this camera. The angles and the focal point do change so continue to watch.

Clipper:

I think I have located the exact location of the Palestine Hotel.

I have a picture with this Square on it. However, I don't know how to upload it to this board. Tell me and I'll upload it.

It is now 300 PM and it looks like they are now going to show a press conference.

Did you just catch that Ted Koppel feed that was showing him in front of this, as he described it, DC-9.  Nuts

Great, this doesn't work either.

Anyway, here's a link to two Baghdad pictures which I believe show the exact location of the Palestine Hotel.

Seems Baghdad cam is down. I have lost the link to it. Anyone else have another link via a different website?

Or was it just pulled?
