The footage can be found in the 9/13/01 TV archive on FOX at 7:44 PM. Like many of the WTC Building 7 “collapse” videos, it seems to be edited during initiation. It could be argued this is more likely due to the fact that people were waiting for more than an hour since the first TV announcements that the collapse was expected by authorities (see compilation at top of page). The initiation might have been missed simply because cameras needed to save tape (yes, tape). The cameras probably began rolling as the sound of the falling east penthouse — and the crowd’s reactions — reached beyond the perimeter of the area blocked by NYPD. (See above, “Not Richard Peskin 1” for a comment on that.)
A longer, but still incomplete version also without audio (link 1 above) is CBC’s 2009 doc “9-11 The Unofficial Story.” The clip replays several times in a short Aug. 2008 FOX5 NY piece announcing the NIST WTC 7 Report release (yes, in 2008) press conference with the headline, “NO CONSPIRACY.”
Thanks, Nate/Xenomorph911WTC for pointing out the fact that this video was different than the other very similar view above!
