This shot was only broadcast LIVE on WNYW’s sister station in Los Angeles, KTTV FOX Channel 11 (link 1 above, final seconds only). Veteran reporter Dick Oliver and his cameraman were set up in front of the car wash at 124 Ave of the Americas, since before the 1st collapse. The camera shakes like in the non-TV “amateur” Sauret footage, but both occurences appear to be the fault of the camera operator.
WNYW’s “Ollie” was in lower Manhattan with the camera lying on the ground recording, when the 1st plane hit. He brought us the first report on TV that morning, while WCBS-AM traffic chopper 880 was reporting from the sky on the radio… a few minutes later broadcasting video only for ABC.
Raw NIST Cumulus file: WNYW Dub 4 06 (also the last file in the WNYW Broadcast folder and “KTVT-LA Fox clip_62” in the misspelled file/folder (should be KTTV). UPDATE: See release 10 where rare afternoon coverage replays the event in WTCI-329-I-#12.wmv.
