UPDATE Jan. 2015: Videographer Ralph Franco, at West Broadway and Reade Street. NIST incorrectly notes “‘WTC Bldg. II – first collapse’ – Shooter, Ralph Franco – 3:00” on its Cumulus MDB videos list. Fail. NIST website file here. (Click Continue at wtcdata.nist.gov to agree to terms, then re-click the link) High quality video although WTC 7 blocks most of the tower. Close camera views from West Broadway: CNN Dub4 28 and Lucia Davis.
Other crew for NY1 in the “Six Raw Field Tapes” include Reporter/Shooter JD LaRock, Shooter Shazia Khan, Shooter Amanda Farinacci, Shooter Rafe Levy, Reporter Kristen Shaughnessy, Reporter/Shooter Andrew Siff, and Shooter Jason Post. Found elsewhere on the web: NY1 crew in the area included John Schiumo (heard at 9:21 am say “here in Battery Park City” – nearby), Wiener Milien (named with a caption in HBO’s “In Memoriam: New York City 9/11/01 – not nearby), Yogi Colon (seen narrating his collapse aftermath footage in the studio at 2:04 pm). UPDATE: This view is found in release 30, folder 42A0348 – G30D2, file name VTS_01_3.VOB.
