AS IT HAPPENED ::: ANGLES SEEN ON TV NEWS AT 10:28 |
1. |
ABC NewsCopter7 YouTube 1, 2, 3, & 4 |
|---|---|
![]() |
NewsCopter7 hovered more than 5 miles from the scene, as other choppers had been advised to do. Hear John DelGiorno report the 5 mile limitation at about 9:18 am, 10 minutes after arriving at the scene. Paul Smith (R.I.P.) of Helicopters Inc. piloted the aircraft. To learn more of these men's experience on 9/11, see their 2nd plane impact video, rarely played because it missed the plane. |
2. |
CBS2 (WCBS) View 1: GM Building YouTube 1, 2, & 3 |
|---|---|
|
On CBS9 Washington (also at televisionarchive.org) only the falling "spire" of remaining core columns was seen, after Chopper2 brought us the terrible action. New York local Channel 2 did use their GM Building camera, where The Early Show was/is produced. See one replay on CBS9 at 10:48 am (better quality link 2 above). Notably, the CBS News DVD What We Saw (media with book, copyright 2002) did not place any focus on the event, including only a brief shot of it from their 6:30 pm evening news summary. The DVD included more stories of the aftermath, including funerals.
|
3. |
CBS2 (WCBS) View 2: Chopper2 YouTube 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 |
|---|---|
|
CBS9 Washington aired the first few seconds in a small, split window, then put the LIVE destruction on full screen (YouTube link). On CBS2 (WCBS) only the falling "spire" of remaining core columns was seen (link 2 above). Chopper2's rare angle from the southwest brought us extended coverage of the fire as it progressed [Note: see an important photo study of the suspicious fire progression]. The full version with audio (YouTube 1 above) can be found in a rare flv video with other raw news feed (after a WCBS South Tower "collapse" and a WABC North Tower clip). The raw clip is also on the wcbstv.com website. See it also in the TV archive 9/11 at 5:01 pm on CBS9 Washington (link 3 above or download mpeg2) or in higher quality on FOX5 Washington at 10:42 am (link 4 above or download mpeg2). |
4. |
CNN View 1: 5 Penn Plaza Zoom Out YouTube 1, 2, & 3 |
|---|---|
|
CNN was using WNYW Chopper5 feed for the first two seconds of the "collapse." The shot then faded to this CNN camera at 5 Penn Plaza (their New York headquarters), the view zoomed closest. Download the LIVE mpeg2. In the strange case of the South Tower footage - which missed it LIVE but did in fact capture it - the station didn't broadcast it, ever (in the available TV archive). |
5. |
CNN View 2: 5 Penn Plaza Wide Shot YouTube 1, 2, 3, & 4 |
|---|---|
|
Download continuous replay in high quality (69.2MB avi with WTC 2 airing). CNN had their stationary camera at 5 Penn Plaza (their New York headquarters) up and running early that morning. But no video of the 1st plane surfaced. See a clip from this news compilation from 8:00 am on the Ebbetts DVD "As It Happened." |
ABOUT THIS LIST: Only views showing the tower descending for at least two seconds will be listed, with the exception of Jules Naudet's shot from the famous documentary "9/11." For example, the WNYW View 2: CBS "Divebomber" view aired only the last seconds of the building core "spire" falling. That still counts as a LIVE view. More complete replays of LIVE shots are included where available. Downloads are available mostly in mpeg2, which can be played for free using VirtualDub Mpeg2 (the tool used to convert many of the versions uploaded to YouTube - see my channel WTCdemolitions). Again: Please send additional video & info to matt@911conspiracytv. |
6. |
FOX5 D.C. (NBC Camera) W. Perez YouTube 1, 2, & 3 |
|---|---|
|
Also seen live on UK's ITV. Not aired LIVE on NBC neither in the D.C. archive nor in the WNBC NY. The shot aired LIVE on FOX5 Washington - missing the first few seconds of the "collapse." Walter Perez and his camera operator were on West Street, like many others (view map). Ongoing research has been using this video to determine a proof for demolition, in that the antenna began to drop first. The collapse initiated in the core. (download original mpeg2) |
7. |
MSNBC: Chopper4 YouTube 1, 2 & 3 |
|---|---|
![]() |
Chopper4's pilot remains unknown and the onboard reporter, April Amonica, was given little airtime (during the 2nd plane impact). |
8. |
MSNBC West View YouTube 1 & 2 |
|---|---|
![]() |
"9/11 Television 1 of 12" was uploaded by MSTS1. The Boston VHS tape is important not because of this footage, but because only MSNBC used the FAA-approved software called Flight Explorer online, displaying the constantly-updated information from the skies on air LIVE before 10:28 am... AND this industry standard application showed UA Flight 175 - alleged to have hit the South Tower at 9:02:54 am - IN THE AIR, STILL! Ongoing research by Seatnineb looks at this in depth. |
9. |
NBC4 NY (WNBC) from SoHo YouTube 1, 2, 3, & 4 |
|---|---|
![]() |
WNBC's Joe Avellar broadcast LIVE minutes before the event, interviewing WTC survivors. His camera showed us the devastating action LIVE while reports came from the studio. |
10. |
New York 1 (NY1) Empire State Bldg. YouTube |
|---|---|
|
The video can be seen, along with many other 9/11 clips, at the NY1 website. The camera is located on the Empire State Building near the 80th floor, very near the WB11 (WPIX) Metrocam that shared its view with WNYW, WABC, and more. NY1 didn't share. |
11. |
WB11 Chopper Air11 (WPIX-TV) YouTube |
|---|---|
|
Pilot: Ray Rivera. Reporter: Melinda Murphy (won an Emmy for breaking news 9/11). Camera: Chet Wilson and Brenda Banon (training as photographer). The LIVE WB11 footage features shots from both Chopper 11 - aka "Air11" - and WCBS Chopper2. The WB11 Empire State Building camera also captured the action, but only broadcast LIVE for a moment-- as the dust cloud rose. See details below under Network Views.
|
12. |
WNYW View 1: Chopper5 Youtube 1, 2, & 3 |
|---|---|
|
Chopper5 missed the South Tower "collapse," but not the 2nd plane impact. Reporter/camera operator Kai Simonsen was ready for the 2nd demolition. Much of America was expecting it. After all, the towers were "twins." |
13. |
WNYW View 2: CBS "Divebomber" View YouTube 1 & 2 |
|---|---|
|
After Chopper5 this shot was used LIVE only for a few seconds of the building core (aka "spire") standing. Then the view changed to the CNN movable view. The "Divebomber" cam caught the 2nd plane LIVE on CBS... hence the name. See all the 2nd plane impacts now, or jump to the YouTube clip of the full CBS |
14. |
WNYW View 3 (KTTV) Dick Oliver YouTube 1, 2, 3,& 4 |
|---|---|
|
This shot was only broadcast LIVE on WNYW's sister station in Los Angeles, KTTV FOX Channel 11 (link 1 above). Veteran reporter Dick Oliver and his cameraman were set up in front of the car wash at 124 Ave of the Americas, since before the 1st collapse. The camera shakes like in the non-TV "amateur" Sauret footage, but both occurences appear to be the fault of the camera operator. |
NETWORK VIEWS ::: NEWS CAMERAS, REPLAYS |
15. |
ABC7 (WABC) Reporter Jim Hoffer YouTube 1 & 2 |
|---|---|
|
Aired nationwide at 11:45 am, for example. The horrible action is obscured by the pedestrian bridge crossing West Street to the high school. See the Jim Hoffer report on abclocal.go.com. |
16. |
ABC7 (WABC) Reporter Joe Torres YouTube 1, 2, & 3 |
|---|---|
|
Cameraman Glen Mayrose (sp?) stands beside Joe in another report describing the earthquake rumbling below as the South Tower began to come down. The North Tower footage aired nationwide 9/11 on ABC at 7:06 pm, for example. Also, see the Torres report on abclocal.go.com. |
17. |
ABC7 (WABC) Reporter Michelle Charlesworth YouTube 1, 2, & 3 |
|---|---|
|
Replayed many times. Aired nationwide at 11:42 am, for example. Shot from the West Side Highway just north of Canal St, according to Michelle minutes before the South Tower demolition on WABC. She and her crew didn't move since then. |
18. |
ABC7 Reporter M. Charlesworth Alt. Zoom (partial) YouTube 1 & 2 |
|---|---|
|
Aired 9/11 at 11:39 and 11:58 pm somewhere (not Eastern Standard Time in NY, and not in the AM -- I've checked) on ABC, according to this clip from femr2 and this one from Xenomorph911WTC. Other clips available with this time stamp have come from the Nashville, Tennessee Vanderbilt University Television News Archive, which rents tapes for $200.00US. |
19. |
ABC7 (WABC) Reporter Nina Pineda Watch |
|---|---|
|
The footage aired 9/11 on ABC at 12:42 pm and at 7:10 pm. A female with an ABC microphone says that the second building has just come down. The Woolworth Building obscures the view, after the automatic light meter in the camera adjusts to the brightness of the sky. |
20. |
ABC7 (WABC) Reporter N.J. Burkett Video 1, 2, & 3, & 4 |
|---|---|
|
Marty Glembotzky, camera operator (see In Memoriam: New York City 9/11/01..." (HBO, 2002) at 27:30 vrt). The scene begins with NYPD telling N.J. that the North Tower is leaning. That is why they were pulling people out of the area, N.J. learns... 20 seconds beforehand. This went out over NYPD radio at about 10:20 am (see NISTNCSTAR 1-8, p. 91/294), but due to the lack of FDNY radio interoperability, firefighters didn't get the advance knowledge. The fire dept. had the same radios that malfunctioned during the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. When replaced in a $14 million no-bid contract by Motorola (Feb. 2001), the new radios failed. The new radios had to be taken out of service in March... and replaced. Was this part of the conspiracy, to ensure death of American heroes? |
21. |
AP/APTN View of Top from Below, N Youtube 1, 2, 3, & 4 |
|---|---|
|
Aired 9/11 at an unknown time on WNYW FOX5, who should probably be credited instead of APTN. Available for viewing on the AP Archive website (or link 2 above - or download full mpeg2), with a source listed as either APTN (AP Television News) or ABC (in part 11 and 13). Considering the international broadcast, let's assume it's AP. Also the order of listed sources matches the order in which they appeared (NASA clip 2nd). |
22. |
AP/APTN Unaired (?) Below v.2 YouTube |
|---|---|
|
After the zoom in, it looks very similar to the shot listed above. Unfortunately, the AP Archive files are not of the best quality. The mpeg2 clips look washed out and altered, in addition to the AP stamp, run time box, and story number box. Find download link in YouTube description, with more footage including the WTC7 demolition. |
23. |
BBC Correspondent Steve Evans YouTube 1 & 2 |
|---|---|
|
Aired at 3:34 and again at 3:38 pm on 9/11, eastern standard time. Moments before the event, Steve describes a big explosion low in one of the towers (in 3:38 airing). He had no idea what could have caused that. To investigate this claim further, see the WTC demolitions playlists. |
24. |
CBS on West Side Hwy. YouTube 1, 2, & 3 |
|---|---|
![]() |
Unknown for certain, but my guess is it's a network camera. The media had lined up on West St./the West Side Highway (you will notice). The quality of the shot is not the product of a camcorder. Byron Pitts presents the summary for CBS Evening News, during which this particular shot is the one used to show the North Tower event. Watch at the TV archive site. A deceptively similar view shot from further back is ABC Reporter Michelle Charlesworth. |
25. |
CBS Dust Cloud Closeup YouTube 1 & 2 |
|---|---|
|
Unknown camera but dedicated (i.e. ballsy) like a professional. The camera operator doesn't budge as people run for their lives! Somebody is knocked to the ground by the force of the wind, just before pebbles hit the camera lens and all becomes black. The camera lens is too dusty to see detail of the "collapse" initiation. |
26. |
FNN Japan, West Side Hwy. View 1, Partial YouTube 1, 2, & 3 |
|---|---|
|
One of many many views from the West Side Highway, including another Japanese camera (assumed) next on this list. This one gives us a look at a news cameraman in the foreground who turns and begins to run! See that camera's view (ITN Clip 77 of 82, below). |
27. |
FNN Japan, W. Side Hwy. Zoom, View 2, Partial YouTube 1 & 2 |
|---|---|
|
Another shot from the West Side Highway, including the Japanese camera previous on this list. This one gives us a similar view to a much better quality shot by NBC (example from a PBS documentary). See below, Possibly Reporter Pat Dawson. |
28. |
FNN Japanese Reporter on Rooftop YouTube 1 & 2 |
|---|---|
|
Download avi including 2 above FNN shots and other 9/11 footage from Japan, including shots with audio rarely seen. I can't be sure the network is FNN, but the title of the download file suggests it is. |
29. |
FOX News Building Roof - Verizon View YouTube 1, 2, & 3 |
|---|---|
|
See "FOX Report" anchor Shepard Smith on the roof of the FOX News building at 1211 Avenue of the Americas ... the camera location ... as he talks to witnesses, one of whom describes explosion sounds that traveled a great distance. The shot aired, for example, at 9:28 pm on 9/11. |
30. |
FOX News West Side Hwy. YouTube 1, 2, & 3 |
|---|---|
|
Copyright FOX News at the itnsource.com stock footage site, clip 12 of 26. I haven't found it in the TV archive at archive.org. Only recently on September 11, 2009 was it seen on FOX News in "9/11: Timeline of Terror." |
31. |
ITN West Side Hwy. YouTube 1, 2, & 3 |
|---|---|
|
Seen internationally, courtesy of ITN/Reuters. On BBC Newsnight (link 3 above) the shot comes after NBC Reporter W. Perez's LIVE view. In the itnsource.com stock footage compilation it is clip 77 of 82. I haven't found it in the TV archive at archive.org. |

Aired on NBC4 Washington on 9/11 at 12:41 pm. While this isn't confirmed as a "network view," NBC was known for its "SkyCam network" of easily accessible cameras. See this image for example-- an angle without a matching video on record (no 2nd plane video, either - source). On March 8, 1996, WNBC unveiled the first-of-its-kind Skycam Network consisting of high resolution, remote controlled cameras perched at key points of interest across the Tri-State area. The Skycam Network is in operation 24 hours a day and features 24 cameras. The state-of-the-art Skycam Network is an investment in WNBC's overall coverage of the Tri-State area and is used in all local newscasts. Since its debut, the station has used the Skycam Network to highlight traffic situations; check on Newark, LaGuardia and Kennedy airports; present live pictures of developing weather situations; and, capture breaking news stories.... - http://www.telemundo47.com/station/1169359/detail.html |

NBC View 2: GE YouTube 1 & ... |
|---|---|
![]() |
The South Tower from this view aired LIVE and played much more often that day (on NBC4 Washington, at least). The camera was on top of the 70-story GE Building at 30 Rockefeller Center, which became an observation deck/tourist attraction - "Top of the Rock" - in 2005. The building is home to most of NBC's New York studios. |

This video, as Achimspok notes, "helps to prove all theories." Downloadable HQ NBC archive clip as WTC1_NW_Corner.avi, with repeated zooms, thanks to Xenomorph911WTC. He also made an HD version, perhaps from the PBS documentary version (link 2 above). The clip appeared in the 2006 History doc "American Vesuvius," as seen on YouTube here (WTC compared to volcano). |
35. |
NBC River Shot, Wide from W YouTube 1, 2, & 3 |
|---|---|
|
Aired 9/11 at 1:05 pm and 5:05 pm in identical event summary reports. Again at 6:35 pm in a similar summary (shorter view). The upper floors' descent is seen from beginning to middle only, unfortunately. Yet, the angle offers a unique view of the antenna tilt. |

The video can be seen, along with many other 9/11 clips, at the NY1 website. About one minute before the collapse, the reporter and camera can be seen in the 2008 History Channel program "102 Minutes That Changed America." |
38. |
PAX-TV (WNBC) West St. YouTube 1, 2, & 3 |
|---|---|
|
Update: Jeff Scarborough, WNBC camera operator. Full length aftermath features gunshots! Thanks to jonfromqueens for uploading this rare afternoon TV segment May 7, 2010 (link 1 & 2 above). This shot was found first in a bulk download with no audio (link 3 above). Air date is unknown, but another NBC view (GE Building) precedes the shot, which suggests a 9/11 airdate. |
39. |
WPIX (WB11) Metrocam YouTube 1, 2, & 3 |
|---|---|
|
As seen from the Empire State Building... called Metrocam by the news presenters. This camera was shared by WABC and WNYW from the start of the day's coverage, but WB11 aired the 2nd plane impact from this angle LIVE. Side note: See the new WPIX 9/11 memorial page now. |

I haven't found this clip in the TV archive at archive.org. Only at the BBC Motion Gallery. Considering that it's one of about 25 views from the West Side Highway, it doesn't stand out. To see another, more important BBC video, scroll up to the network angle "BBC Correspondent Steve Evans," who describes an explosion low in one of the towers. |

Collapse explained on BBC at 1:43 pm AND at 2:10 pm AND at 3:08 pm on 9/11 in repeat airings. See it in the TV archive now. It's good for a laugh a quick explanation that the exterior columns supported most of the weight, so the buildings were done for... now here's Tom with the weather. Not exact words, but you get the idea. |

Unknown camera operator. Seen at http://www.bbcmotiongallery.com/gallery/clip/1B14143_0024.do -- in full. PBS used it in the 2002 Frontline production "Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero" (clip is link 2 above). Many thanks to YouTube user emscrazy001, who has uploaded hours of 9/11 TV coverage and video footage (link 1 above). For a similar view, find network view ABC Reporter Joe Torres. |

CBS 9/14 at 4:33 am Unknown Watch |
|---|---|
![]() |
Watch at the TV archive site. See file number 3 at vrt 35:27. The list of broadcasts from 9/14 includes also CBC (Canada), BBC World, and more. Additional CBS news from that day can be seen on the DVD-with-book "What We Saw" (CBS News, 2002). It rained in New York City that day, Friday, like something from Shakespeare. The images of terror slowed down (having sufficiently numbed the populace) and grief began to sink in, as seen on TV. Bush declared it a day of prayer and rememberance. Church services seemed to bless the coming "War on Terror." Dissent from the patriotic consensus became sacrilege. |
46. |
Clifton Cloud YouTube 1 & 2 |
|---|---|
![]() |
Clifton captured the 2nd plane impact and both "collapses" with his videocamera. Also, untelevised amateur Devin Clark caught all 3 events. Network cameras that did that include the CBS blue-tinted "Divebomber" view, CNN 5 Penn Plaza (one of 2 cameras), NBC GE Bldg. (leaning cam), WPIX Metrocam, and NY1 ESB cam. The footage linked above comes from an interview on NBC 9/12 at 11:50 am. |
47. |
CNN "Extra" (WNBC) West, Below YouTube 1 & 2 |
|---|---|
![]() |
Credited to WNBC in NIST volume 1-6. So far only available as a picture-in-picture window, low resolution. Clear views from the west are rare. This one adds some insight. Femr2 point out that the video "[s]hows yet another part of the cap disintegration...watch the fire near the south west corner...as the cap tilts, it *splits* into two halves which go in separate directions." Yet, it may be smoke blocking the line of sight to the fireball. Still, the cap - or top - of the building that supposedly acted like a pile driver, crushing the lower floors... was itself being destroyed from the instant of initiation. |
48. |
Lucia Davis YouTube 1, 2 & 3 |
|---|---|
|
Aired September 22, 2001 in "MSNBC Investigates: 24 Hours at Ground Zero" (link 2 above). Davis is credited as working with BNN in the 2002 HBO program "In Memoriam: New York City 9/11/01." (see full docu. here) BNNtv more or less became CameraPlanet. |

FOX News/Showtime Penn & Teller "Conspiracy Theories" YouTube 1, 2, & 3 |
|---|---|
![]() |
Aired on FOX 9/11 at 9:51 pm, with a shot of the 1st "collapse." An important video study by Achimspok shows that the conventional "piston theory" explaining (among others) the west side dust jet (explosive ejecta about floor 78) IS INDISPUTABLY FALSE. If air pressure didn't cause the explosion, then what did? Easy. Explosives. |

Short HQ version on FOX5 Washington at 7:46 pm (get the mpeg2). Also see a CNN extended version with audio at 4:24 pm. Perhaps to tone down the explosive flashes on the western face, there's a darkened version on CBS9 Washington at 5:21 pm. |
51. |
NBC 9/11 2:59 PM American Flag Edit YouTube 1 & 2 |
|---|---|
![]() |
An American flag. I'm surprised this angle didn't get more attention... although the edit takes away from the shot. It may be a network camera. Also found as an mpeg1 with other news from 9/11... at archive.org in the impact collection, specifically in this video file. |
52. |
Etienne Sauret YouTube 1, 2, & 3 |
|---|---|
![]() |
Aired on CNN at an unknown time (see link 1). Professional quality. His shot features the earth apparently shaking ~10 seconds before the "collapse." Comparing other videos finds no verification of the phenomenon (see for instance Rick Siegel 911 Eyewitness Hoboken compared). Camera location at 145 Ave of the Americas was about 1.54km away, and considering the time it takes for seismic waves to travel ("surface waves" (?) being half as fast as primary waves, or sound waves... the speed of sound through granite is 5,000 m/s), the shake would have taken about a second to travel to Sauret's camera. |
53. |
Tinacart, or "Eyefull" YouTube 1, 2, 3, & 4 |
|---|---|
|
Xenomorph911WTC uploaded a rare segment of CBS coverage featuring the full length footage in good quality (see also YouTube link 3 above). The angle also appeared briefly in the famous Naudet documentary. The angle's name comes from the YouTube channel "tinacart," which features the plane impact footage without a TV station logo (and 2 other 9/11 plane clips including "Tinacart 2" and Devin Clark (see below). The footage aired, for example, at 7:00 pm on 9/11 CBS. See YouTube link 1 above for a download link with rare audio from aparchive.com. |

Bob and Bri Youtube 1 & 2 |
|---|---|
|
Uploaded to Revver 9/11/2006, with a suspicious edit during the plane impact. It could just be that the recording was stopped for a minute... bad timing... as with the South Tower's "collapse." BUT what about the edit during the North Tower demolition? Why? Then there's the fascinating comment (by Bri?) about the jetliner being a "military plane." Crazy day. |
ABOUT THIS LIST: The CameraPlanet Archive has collected 500 or so hours of 9/11 footage (says NY Times), but the Archive does not necessarily own the rights to all of it. A few of the camera angles titled "CameraPlanet..." below have been matched with a videographer's name. Still, the videos will appear in this list alphabetically under "C," to provide a consolidated collection of North Tower "collapse" videos from "the Archive." Note that televised amateur Lucia Davis is excuded from this portion of the list. |

CameraPlanet: Cynthia Malaran YouTube 1, 2, & 3 |
|---|---|
|
Shot from an East Village apartment. Cynthia's artistic WTC photos poster gives a beautiful, extended time lapse of the World Trade Center's life and disappearance. National Geographic (and CameraPlanet) featured her footage of the North Tower destruction in the bonus program "Witness 9/11," in the DVD documentary set titled "Inside 9/11" (2006). Cynthia nearly captured the 2nd plane impact on film, but was setting up her tripod. |

CameraPlanet - Driving Away YouTube 1 & 2 |

|
We hear the name Brian mentioned in the vehicle... and one Brian Tunney is on cameraplanet.com where we can read the camera owner's story: "... Rushed downtown from 30th Street to lower Manhattan (Church Street) while filming. Left the van on the street. Hopped out with the camera and went looking for Matt. Filmed first collapse. Found Matt running uptown. Hopped in van, passed camera to Matt, who filmed out the window while the second tower stood alone and then collapsed." The high quality link 2 above comes from the 9/11 Truth documentary/news & video footage compilation "9/11 Revisited: Were explosives used?" (2009). Find high quality downloads at archive.org. This particular clip is in version 2 of the film, at 19:57 vrt. |

CameraPlanet "HL" West Side Hwy YouTube 1 & 2 |
|---|---|
|
Titled "hl_2nd_tower_coll_" with little effort for quality archiving. Several clips titled "HL..." appear in the CameraPlanetArchive YouTube channel, hiding the identity of the videographer. The full length documentary "7 Days in September" (no video link available?) provides the name Harry Lapham. See him in this brief interview clip, less than 20 seconds long like many of the videos posted by "the archive." |

Best quality (abbreviated length) found in "Rudy" docudrama, which included also the Pollard CameraPlanet shot from Trinity Church (download mpeg2). Uploaded twice on YouTube channel CameraPlanetArchive (see links 1 & 3 above). Also found on an older sample reel titled "Collapse of North Tower." The latest sample reel is less specialized. It's an all-events-in-one production, complete with the distracting timer and CameraPlanet logo, which is now centered higher... to the increased detriment of the footage, of course.

Description: "Possibly the most distant (16 mi.)video footage of the second jet hitting the South Tower and the collapse of the North Tower." Also find Fred's video on the makehistory.national911memorial.org website, with a current total of only 16 videos. FYI, there was a more distant view of the plane hitting: the "Earthstation" aircraft (unknown) was about 18 miles away. While most camera locations for the 2nd plane videos have been plotted, the South and especially North Tower videos remain mostly uncharted. |

The videographer has expressed his unwillingness to create an unedited version of his video, which is a shame because in the South Tower portion, bold text with the incorrect time is emblazoned on the screen AND the descent is edited, clipped in the middle! Also, as if to frustrate those watching, the North Tower initiation is edited out. Why? |

Although the tower is in view for a moment during the initiation, the collapse is not seen. Still, this angle must be included here. Audio is preserved, assuming no artistic license or censorship has occurred (as with brother Gedeon's airplane impact shot). Notice the vacuum effect as the dust and paper is sucked up the street back toward Ground Zero! This phenomenon is investigated briefly by Achimspok in NORTH TOWER part2 - Ch18. |

Partial view begins mid-collapse. The documentary is actually called "The Center of the World - New York: A Documentary Film." The 2003 PBS film tells the official fairy tale with tons of excellent footage (see it on 911conspiracy.tv now). Speaking during the clip is journalist William Langewiesche, author of American Ground: Unbuilding the World Trade Center (North Point Press, New York, 2002), which was the product of unique unrestricted access for the duration of the "cleanup" recovery effort. While it stuck to the official story of natural, gravity driven collapse, the book documented "the streams of molten metal that leaked from the hot cores and flowed down broken walls inside the foundation hole." (p. 32). The cores were steel, of course. Please see Molten Steel & Extreme Temperatures at WTC for collected testimony to this particular proof for controlled demolition. |

See www.911eyewitness.com and www.911raw.com, where the footage is unavailable. The audio is in question due to deep explosion sounds, as analyzed by www.mediumrecords.com/wtc/audio02.html (where you can download the Siegel clip). Quoting the audio engineer at mediumrecords.com: The dramatic nature of the blast sounds which occur in the 4 minutes prior to the collapse certainly raises some puzzling questions. Since other long stretches of unedited pre-collapse footage (with audio) from other angles has not yet been made public, it is not possible for us to hear if other recordings also caught these blasts. In other recordings from closer to the tower, though only short snippets are available, we don't see much of any indication that intense explosions have be registered [sic] by any people in the area. Certainly this webpage can help address the question of existing video with audio in the minutes before the first "collapse." See also this website's extensive 9/11 TV archive. Why is the video record near the towers so slim during this time period? Just because of the sensational nature of the destruction and otherwise uninteresting smoking towers? Please participate in the discussion on this bizarre audio debacle. |

TLC, West - "Anatomy of the Collapse" (partial) YouTube |

|
The 2002 TLC program World Trade Center - Anatomy Of The Collapse contains some rare stuff, but draws incorrect conclusions about the cause... even according to NIST. Truss failure wasn't the right answer. PBS-NOVA made the same error in "Why the Towers Fell" (2002). Lead investigator and spokesman for NIST, Shyam Sunder tells us in 2006 (PBS-NOVA's "Building on Ground Zero") that the "pancake theory" forwarded by ASCE lead man W. Eugene Corley was in fact - for want of a better word - bullsh!t. So, how long before the exterior-columns-bowed-in-and-snapped theory gets tossed? BECAUSE the initiation was inside the core. |

The issue raised during the clip in question is about freefall speed during the "collapses." Concerning WTC Building 7, it's an open-and-shut case! (see the911forum, for example) Regarding the towers, the point remains valid. If you've seen the above higher quality videos, you know the explosions tore down the side of the building faster than freefall. |
