Fox's local NYC channel (which DirecTV provides to us ex-New Yorkers and others) showed a tape last year made by their crew on 9/11/01. Maybe they'll rerun it this year.
The crew which got to the scene before the collapse were nearly killed but kept their camera moving as they ran for their lives.
Most harrowing shot was of a man who climbed outside his office window probably thinking that he would climb back in after the fire burned through his office. He was hanging from cables or drapes but lost his grip and fell. The poor guy was doomed anyhow but he had no way of knowing that.
Something I noticed: everyone refers to "the bodies" falling to the ground. I guess it's too horrible to think of them as conscious until they hit.
