UPDATE Jan. 2015: See femr2’s version with no text, focusing on the core remnant. (At least I can’t tell the difference if this is a different, very nearby camera.) See www.911eyewitness.com and www.911raw.com, where the footage is unavailable. The audio is in question due to deep explosion sounds, as analyzed by Dave Shaw in the “911 Eyewitness Hoboken” DVD (YT link 2 above), or at www.mediumrecords.com/wtc/audio02.html (where you can download the Siegel clip). Quoting the audio engineer at mediumrecords.com:
The dramatic nature of the blast sounds which occur in the 4 minutes prior to the collapse certainly raises some puzzling questions. Since other long stretches of unedited pre-collapse footage (with audio) from other angles has not yet been made public, it is not possible for us to hear if other recordings also caught these blasts. In other recordings from closer to the tower, though only short snippets are available, we don’t see much of any indication that intense explosions have be registered [sic] by any people in the area.
Certainly this webpage can help address the question of existing video with audio in the minutes before the first “collapse.” See also this website’s extensive 9/11 TV archive. Why is the video and especially audio record near the towers so slim during this time period? Or is it? Just because of the sensational nature of the destruction and otherwise uninteresting smoking towers? Please participate in the discussion on this bizarre audio debacle.
The footage was used in the popular Truther documentary “9/11 Mysteries,” with different audio added, including other explosion sounds and sirens (see video). That prompted a legal battle by Rick, who won the lawsuit against Sofia Shafquat/Avatar LLC. This touched close to home when my YouTube channel got a copyright strike or two, eventually cancelling/deleting my 2 channels with about 1,000 videos, for my uploading “9/11 Mysteries,” which was removed by YouTube for a copyright claim by “911 Eye Witness.” “9/11 Mysteries” can still be found on YouTube despite Rick’s efforts.
