Video shows disaster in WTC from within the building
There is a video-recording that shows the 11 september disaster in the World Trade Center in New York from within the building itself. On this video is shown how there is being called for an evacuation of the northern tower. This the New York Times reported on saturday.
Also you can hear how a short time later the southern tower is being hit by an airliner and how the firedepartment-commander in the WTC is informed via telephone that there was an attack on the Pentagon as well.
The video is made by the Frenchman Jules Naudet, that was making a documentary about the education of firefighters in New York. Accidently he was that day filming near the WTC site. After the impact of the first airliner in the northern tower Naudet ran towards the tower.
Eerie silence
The first footage he made there shows how firedepartment-commander Joe Pfeifer and his superior Pete Hayden are establishing a commandpost in the building. They give their men oders and try to evacuate the building by phone. In the fronthall of the building is an eerie silence. The faces of the fireman are filled with fear.
Those who watch the video, the New York Times writes, is strained to the limit "because he knows just what is going to happen: a hard bang, like a bus that collides with a brigdepost, the second plane', "Tommy! Tommy! Another plane! Another plane!, somebody shouts. The lens of Naudets' camera is covered with dust and debris in such a way he has to wipe it clean to be able to film.
There are images of scared people that will die minutes later and from a firedepartments' chaplain that is being carried away amidst the screaming of wounded people.
Northern tower
The outside footage that Naudet made shows how a plane strucks the northern tower, were show just after 11 september. Almost no one knew about the footage of the building. The video was never released.
According to the New York Times it is questionable if the public will see the rest of the video. Copies have been showed in New York Firestation. It will also be used in the ongoing investigation. Naudet want to make a documentary from the video for the families and victims.
