A NYC Reporter and Camera man doing their job during 9/11
55 replies, posted
i actually never really seen this video before about 9/11. it's 20 minutes of pure raw footage that manages to capture how bad that day was.
i dont really know how many people saw this footage on here, but i thought it would be worth sharing.
the reporter is [URL="http://abc7ny.com/about/newsteam/nj-burkett/"]N.J Burkett[/URL] who still does reporting today and [URL="https://www.linkedin.com/in/martyglembotzky/de"]Marty Glembotzky[/URL] is the cameraman.

At 0:56, that red mist is a jumper hitting a lamppost :(
I've got no words
that part at 3:30 is just chilling
This is probably the most chilling footage of 911 I've ever seen, it would be madness to report on this story like this guy did, seeing how close to the towers he was when they collapsed.
It honestly looks like some kind of found-footage movie, like Clover-field. It's just completely unreal to watch.
That's fucked...
Cant even imagine what was going through these peoples minds.
There was another video that was raw footage and the interviews of the people who took it. It was made for some channel, can't remember what it was though. Really insane stuff that just makes you stop thinking and just watch in horror.

Holy fucking shit I had to watch that part at least ten times before I saw it.

In case anyone was wondering, way in the back. only visible for a second.

The sound that made was fucking sickening
Those poor people caked in dust man... I wonder if they're still alive today. I think I remember hearing that people who inhaled the smoke were extremely likely to contract some horrible diseases.
What's with the channel name?

Cameraman's an absolute trooper. The second tower falls around the 13th minute mark, and while everyone, cops and his reporter included, sprint away for their lives, he gets a solid ten seconds of footage of it. That's invaluable.

It's why when you see cameramen in movies not run away from disaster and people wonder why.
This is the exact reason.
I remember that day as if it was yesterday even tho i was only 11, it's so deeply embedded and hard to fathom at first
Even just the first shot of looking up at the tower made me feel nervous. They're right fucking under them and knowing it's gonna collapse soon is... gaaah
its weird, you look at the planes crashing into the wtc from a great distance on someones balcony and it doesnt move me as much as seeing footage of people directly under ground zero
maybe its just witnessing the scale, something you cant do from far away, but that reporter and cameraman are honestly really brave and i couldnt imagine how they felt on that day being so close to the carnage

saddest shit is that it seemed like nobody thought it's gonna collapse
I never realized just how far the dust cloud spread out. I mean I'd seen pictures of an aerial view of the cloud but seeing them on the ground many miles away and still having to run really puts it into perspective.

I guess no one imagined the flames would get hot enough to allow the steel to bend
Not going to lie that made me cry. I've never seen straight up raw footage.
[QUOTE=ForgotPassword;51707830]Were the firefighters standing on the far opposite side of that road during the 56 second mark because people were jumping? Just realized that the side of the street with all the fire trucks is empty.[/QUOTE]
The first firefighter fatality was from a jumper
I make sure that every year on September 11th I watch as much footage as I can to remember and refuel my hatred.
The interview at around 10:00 made me actually sob irl, holy shit - i wonder how many people got PTSD from this :cry:
OMG they filmed him hugging her instead of doing nothing when she cried, best cameraman/reporter ever! :cry:

There was another video on liveleak years ago (might still be on there) which was recorded down the side of one of the towers and like 5 people all hit the ground / vehicles 1 after another and all you hear is a heavy thud / splat type noise and red mist appearing.
That has been ingrained in my mind ever since.
I remember the day the towers hit (I was in 4th grade). They didn't let us go out for recess and I was wondering why. When I got home I found out. I remember the news and reports from magazines about the rescue and clean up process, with the posibility of people being trapped underneath the wreckage...
[QUOTE=Katatonic717;51708019]The sound that made was fucking sickening[/QUOTE]
Sounded like a golf club hitting a golf ball or someone shooting a gong with an air gun.
Wild shit. Are there more videos like this? I was in 5th grade on that day and our school told all the teachers to keep their TVs off. Always wondered why. Videos of news coverage of that day kind of explains it.
I was extremely young when it happened, and it's actually one of the earliest memories I have. It's faint, but I remember sitting on my mom's lap in front of a tv, my mom saying "oh my god" and going to call my dad because he was working in Albany (The capital of NY). if you've been to Albany, they have a few buildings I'd say could be targets for something like this. That's all I remember but I'd imagine she was afraid someone would target those buildings there.

I didn't see anything like this on CNN when it happened. Even the documentries that followed years later weren't that real. You can tell this two man crew are real reporters searching for the truth, and going through the danger to get it.
I know there's a number of conspiracy theories about what really happened. Its interesting to note that even people the day of thought there might be bombs involved. At the same time you can see the actual chaos down below is without a doubt real. You get a few men in suits who don't seem shaken, while the rest won't take an interview because their bodies are still full of adrenaline and processing whats happened.
Seeing all of the fire fighters slowly walking around and looking upward. At first glance its like "why arent they doing anything? Why arent they in there helping?" And then it starts to become clear that they're only human, and facing mortality. Maybe a higher up said "we're not going anywhere near that thing until things stabalize" or they heard the initial teams that were already in there dying over the radio.
You think its bad watching people go splat on the pavement down below, just imagine you're a fire fighter midway up the tower, reaching the upper section where the planes cut through. It won't just be burning people, but people half crushed under debris in their death throws, people impaled metal pipes and wires. Missing their limbs or entire lower halfs. All with the smell of soot, dust, and burning flesh. For a lot of rescue crews that was the last thing they saw before the building collapsed entirely. Just imagine living through that.
Regardless of what ultimately caused all of this, the result was a reminder of how frail we are as a species.
