Chopper5 missed the South Tower “collapse,” but not the 2nd plane impact. Reporter/camera operator Kai Simonsen was ready for the 2nd demolition. Much of America was expecting it. After all, the towers were “twins.”
CNN aired the shot live for a couple seconds before switching to their network camera(s). They showed the whole thing at 11:33 am.
