Hear audio of the event. Behind the voices it’s a muffled roar. Camera name not pegged. NBC’s Walter Perez was nearby, as was Pat Dawson’s crew, who was set up to the left of Perez, across the street. Both had the white pedestrian bridge in view (see Google map). Also, MSNBC cut to Perez seconds after the disaster. Only recently has the NBC network coverage (and raw video) become available. The more familiar D.C. archive was running local coverage at the time.
The shot was also seen LIVE on UK’s ITV. Not aired LIVE on NBC4 Washington, nor in the WNBC NY. However, the shot did air LIVE on FOX5 Washington – missing the first few seconds— and on KTTV FOX11 Los Angeles, the FOX5 WNYW flagship’s sister station.
Ongoing research has been using this video to determine a proof for demolition, in that the antenna began to drop first. The collapse initiated in the core.
The national FOX News broadcast used CBS Chopper2. In the street (near Church and Murray), FOX News reporter Rick Levanthal says he can see the top of the building, but we can’t because of the glare caused by the dust.
