Martin purchased a camera from a pedestrian. He barely escaped with his life. Thanks to his bravery we have a rare look at the south wall of the tower, and the debris falling to the street below. He was a producer for Dateline at the network.
Aired at 7:13 pm on 9/11. Martin tells his story. See it in extended form at the MSNBC website or even more extended at the TV archive, 9/12 at 3:56 am. Aired without audio also at 4:38 pm on 9/11…
Raw NIST Cumulus file: WNBC Dub3_13 (watch with previous clip). Also see NBC Atlanta3 38 and 39-41 for Martin’s account. UPDATE: See also release 25, folder 42A0128 – G25D40 at 29:45 for an early interview with Christian… including his footage. After the first viewing, however, the picture becomes pixelated, degraded. Watch in HD slow motion, stabilized. Or see it for a moment in the “New York: Center of the World” South Tower montage.
