The 2002 ABC Program “Report from Ground Zero” aired Sept. 10, based on FDNY veteran Dennis Smith’s best-selling book, Report from Ground Zero: The Story of the Rescue Efforts at the World Trade Center, Viking/Penguin, New York, 2002. The rare WTC 1 clip comes at about vrt 35:08.
One unfortunate sound editing detail inserted an explosion sound (clip 34) during the molten metal splash in Luigi Cazzaniga’s video (link to original). Of course there is debate about the splash or explosion, dating to before the appearance of the ABC/NIST audio. Was it thermite igniting or a splash on the facade?
