UPDATE June 2013: Text in several versions with SMPTE color bars seem to name the camera “Waterfront NY NCC.” New NIST FOIA materials include a(nother) high quality DVD VOB version, folder name “NIST_FOIA_12-044_NIST_WTC_Investigation_340-WTCI-382-I_video_ID_151.iso_mount.”
WNBC had many cameras as part of their innovative “Skycam” network, but this was the third seen LIVE on NBC4 Washington, the familiar 9/11 TV archive. As highlighted in this closeup zoomed version, a detonation/ejection occured several floors above the crush point/initiation level of the 81st floor NE corner, causing a destructive kink like that of the SE corner at the 106th floor. Only with the one on the NE corner, there was a visible explosion. See also amateurs A. Rosario from Brooklyn and Onno de Jong (the latter being a very similar view).
Some archive airings: 10:06 am, 10:10, … 9/12 at 11:25 am, 9/12 at 11:33 am….
