The September 11 Attacks - Tim Main's & Mike Ballou's footage (editor's cut)

This video contains the files « Main & Ballou 01.avi » to « Main & Ballou 17.avi », which have been released to the public by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The audio track also recorded first-responder radio.

Videographers: Tim Main & Mike Ballou
Location: Grand Ferry Park at Grand Street & River Street, Brooklyn, NY
Time: 09h15:58 a.m. - 10h30:52 a.m. EDT, September 11, 2001.

In this video we can observe one particularly interesting phenomenon which provides a larger context to the impressive shot by Jack Taliercio, as seen @ 24:40 in « David Corperon's & Jack Taliercio's footage ».
There are several jets of smoke, dust and light debris being forcibly ejected from the windows of the 77th floor, east side of WTC 2, @ 09h37:08 a.m. EDT and the following seconds. Such an ejection of gases occurs when they are considerably compressed inside, due to a rapid reduction of container volume. This is absolutely consistent with the claim by NIST that the 60 foot floor trusses sagged, and eventually the floors collapsed. Allowing the perimeter walls also to buckle. What truly caused this floor to collapse, I couldn't tell and I don't want to speculate. However, two details appear to be interesting: 09h37:08 a.m. EDT is almost 22 minutes before the global collapse and 24 minutes after the tower was hit. The 77th floor is below the impact zone, and also below the zone of major fires.

I refrain from digital image manipulation. In my opinion, any so-called 'enhancement', as observed in similar video creations elsewhere, is tampering with evidence. I consider this video document as material evidence in the disaster investigation. My objective is to use as much raw footage as ever available for a highly authentic document, and to avoid edited material if possible. I also preserved artifacts 'as is'.
However, I adapted all footage to NTSC standard (SD), doubled the frame rate to 59.94 fps (60000/1001). Though working with, whenever possible, uncompressed footage, Rumble is using their own encoding service and compression standards.

Times have been established through synchronization with Cindy Weil's and also Andrea Star Reese's footage, and a cross check with CNN, as well as 1010 WINS News Radio time which is synchronized with the Official U.S. Time. Tolerances within one second.

This video has been created for exclusively educational, non-profit purposes. The usage of commercial footage shall be regarded under the conditions of 17 U.S. Code § 17 / 17 U.S. Code § 512 (f) (Fair use).
Dedicated to the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and in the aftermath of that day. May they rest in Peace.
A tribute to the first responders, their rescue efforts to save and protect lives, and their personal sacrifices.
Thank you for taking the time to inform yourself.
