See Burkett’s report on abclocal.go.com. Marty Glembotzky was the camera operator (see In Memoriam: New York City 9/11/01…” (HBO, 2002) at 27:30 vrt). Marty and N.J. got a much closer view of the first collapse. The scene begins with NYPD telling N.J. that the North Tower is leaning. That is why they were pulling people out of the area, N.J. learns… 20 seconds beforehand. This went out over NYPD radio at about 10:20 am (see NISTNCSTAR 1-8, p. 91/294), but due to the lack of FDNY radio interoperability, firefighters didn’t get the advance knowledge. The fire dept. had the same radios that malfunctioned during the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. When replaced in a $14 million no-bid contract by Motorola (Feb. 2001), the new radios failed. The new radios had to be taken out of service in March… and replaced. Was this part of the conspiracy, to ensure death of American heroes?
Raw NIST Cumulus file: WABC Dub1 101 — also seen as “BBC_clip119” in less quality … The NIST Cumulus folder was named “BBC Horizon – The Fall of the World Trade Center” — a 2002 documentary similar to PBS/NOVA’s “Why the Towers Fell.” (Jan. 2012 merged here with a duplicate listing here. Thanks, Aldwinn.)
