CBS9 Washington aired the first few seconds in a small, split window, then put the LIVE destruction on full screen. On CBS2 (WCBS) only the falling “spire” of remaining core columns was seen. FOX News aired the 2nd half of the shot LIVE. See it also in the TV archive 9/11 at 5:01 pm on CBS9 Washington or in higher quality on FOX5 Washington at 10:42 am.
Chopper2’s angle from the south gave us a unique view of 1. the fire as it progressed [Note: see an important photo study of the suspicious fire progression — ALSO see the full length raw NIST video] and 2. a bright gray dust cloud that emerged early, below the alleged initiation. (See Achimspok’s video on the subject.)
Chopper2 was piloted by Ed Baker, with Jim Smith reporting. Hear the names mentioned during the broadcast at 9:10. WCBS reporter Joe Biermann was also aboard, according to one source.
