**Not** seen LIVE on CBS2 NY (WCBS) (see MSNBC below for a LIVE shot). Notice it fast forwards… so that means the “LIVE” graphic is false. Not foreknowledge, in that case – ehem – BBC 5:07 PM.
The version seen in the Naudet-Hanlon documentary “9/11” (2002) had audio from a different source. NEW Oct. 2010: In the NIST Cumulus version, you can hear a rumble! For more on audio, see the “Not Peskin” clip and the Siegel footage.
In addition to CBS2 NY 9/12 at 5:41 PM, the clip aired (for example) on CBS9 Washington at 5:39 PM. The news anchor says, “I don’t know whether it was, uh, accomplished by demolition experts or whether it just happened as a consequence of what occurred earlier today.” Little did he know THAT would become one of the greatest controversies of the modern era. See a chart listing “the 9 videos” used for detailed analysis (out of 16 available videos in the NIST database). This chart places the camera at “[s]treet level, west side of West Street, near Harrison Street.”
“Raw” NIST Cumulus files: CBS-Net Dub5 09 (download zoomed version) with [explosion?] audio…. Watch it burn in files CBS-Net Dub7 19 through 21 with no audio. CBS-Net Dub7 46 has nearly 5 minutes of WTC 7 burning with audio (I haven’t listened to it all yet) then an extended copy of the “collapse” with audio is CBS-Net Dub7 47, which incidentally has the audio track at a much lower volume than the Dub5 09 clip… and pixelated artifacts. UPDATE: See release 25, 42A0116 – G25D26 for a high quality mpeg-2 of the CBS2 NY version aired on 9/11, although with washed out color compared to the “LIVE” version.
