Berriff had approached Battalion Chief Mike Puzziferri a few months earlier about making a film. And on the morning of September 11th, he’d been at the station with his camera rolling.
Quoting from the DVD jacket of Berriff’s documentary “9/11: The Firefighters’ Story,” which aired on UK Channel 5 Thursday August 29th, 2002 at 8:00 pm. The DVD is now available (2011) with the 4-disc set “Remembering 9/11 – 4 Films Commemorating The Heroes and Victims Of September 11th.” Read a review now or this article. Only in this documentary did the clip air with the original audio. Also…. notice the obvious squib/dust jet from floor 34, far too early in the “collapse.” For whatever reason, this feature was edited/cropped out for the version used in the film “Giuliani’s 9/11” (National Geographic 2010). Compare those frames with the original frame seen at left.
Loud explosion “pops” are heard in some versions, because the audio was altered for the Discovery Channel docudrama “Inside the Twin Towers” (aired 9/3/2006 – see full doc.). This program aired on France Channel 2 as “Dans Les Tours Jumelles” and on Germany’s RTL as “Die Letzten Minuten Im World Trade Center” (both also 2006). The original audio track, like the Siegel audio (below), is analyzed at mediumrecords.com. To see another example of audio tampering watch the Siegel footage with explosion audio.
No NIST FOIA file. Recent high quality comes from the UK Channel 4 documentary “9/11: The Firemen’s Story” (2011); not to be confused with Berriff’s “9/11: The Firefighters’ Story.”
