The Naudet brothers are french documentary film makers and they were shooting a scene showing NYC firefighters reporting to a gas leak just as the 1st plane flew overhead. It was too loud, too fast and too low. The NYC firefighters knew it was a direct hit and intentional and not an accident since the plane was aiming for the North Tower. When the 1st plane hit he was right there and was able to capture the moment on film. It didn't stop there. One brother was trapped at Tower 1 and continued to shoot the scenes. His brother shot scenes on the ground as it happened. They filmed the collapse, from inside the towers and outside the towers. Neither knew if the other brother was killed or not. Captain Pfiefer protected one of the filmmakers by covering him with his own body as the tower crumbled and the chief's own brother, also a NYC fireman, was killed in the collapse. He saved the Naudet brother and lost his own brother.

1. watch it now anad then. a mundane subject matter turns into historical drama in the flash of an eye. is it the best

9/11 thing on youtube,. maybe. that it tells a story beyond just the crash and burn is its strength

2. Thanks. I saw it on PBS a few years back.

I watched over half of it now.

It’s still hard to take.

3. I've listened to the air traffic controllers, the military at NORAD, etc

as it happened and it is surreal. You have to remember in 2001 there was NO GPS and no social media. If there had been then the NYC Fire Chief's initial report after witnessing the direct aim at the North Tower would nave warned everyone that this was a deliberate attack and to be prepared. He knew it was no accident. The pilots and passengers knew what was going on but they didn't know about the 3 other planes until it was too late. Tragic!
