UPDATE Dec. 2011: More uncertainty about the source comes from FEMA in their Building Performance Study. Roberto Rabanne is credited in two video stills and in two WTC 7 collapse photos shot from street level (see 2nd photo). More credit was given to Roberto Rabanne by NIST NCSTAR 1-9 Vol. 1, pp. 238, 240, and 242 — see images. (Thanks TheMKMonarch at YouTube for pointing out this likelihood!) Also notice in these images the video camera was running seconds before the collapse YET THE INITIATION (and accompanying audio) IS MISSING.
Since Peskin was named in the NIST Report (NIST NCSTAR 1-9 Vol. 1 p. 233), the clip was thought by some to have been shot by him, until his footage missing the event became available September 2010 thanks to the NIST FOIA release. It turns out the videographer just happens to be shooting from the same building, only a floor or two higher than Peskin (who either missed the building’s descent or had his film edited). However, the Peskin footage is more valuable. It is made up of excerpts from 9:00 AM until at least after 5:22 PM. Explosions are heard and described– but not the same thunderous explosion heard around 11:11 AM by BNN’s Lucia Davis, a couple firefighters, and two guys on a phone a couple blocks from WTC 7….
There is a version with audio (link 1 above, also here in this WTC7 compilation… Source was terrorize.dk before much of its content became unavailable).
UPDATE: The footage is part of the Int’l Center for 9/11 Studies NIST FOIA, 911datasets.org release 28, folder 42A0309 – G28D14, as “WTC7COLLAPSE.MPG” — a 6:22 length version in 720×480 resolution, with no audio and the initiation missing. Xeno has uploaded this stabilized and added audio from the older version. The same file appears again in release 28 as 42A0314 – G28D19fromCD_WTCI-138-IWTC7-Feb 9-10 Pres-GilsanzWTC7COLLAPSE.MPG — and as 42A0313 – G28D18fromCD_WTCI-137-I…
