EnhancedWTCVideos | WTC 9/11 Footage by WPIX-TV Helicopter "Air11" -- Part 1 of 2 (Enhanced Video/Audio & Doubled FPS) @WTCFOIAVideos | Uploaded August 2018 | Updated October 2024, 12 minutes ago.
0:00:00 - Start of the SHORT continuous shot. Runs between ~9:01:24am and ~9:05:03am (final NIST timeline "Adjusted Time from Television Broadcasts).
0:01:32 - Second plane crashes into WTC 2 (South Tower) at 9:02:59am.
0:03:39 - Start of the LONG continuous shot that runs through the end of entire available video (~9:05:43am to ~10:42:32am).
0:08:51 - Bright flash happens on 96th floor at the SW corner of WTC 1 (North Tower) at 9:14:34am, just at the missing corner wall cladding.
0:10:05 - A slight outward kink is observable in the NW corner of WTC 1 between floors 97 and 98 (see at the long soot strip), recorded at 9:15:48am. PAUSE at 0:10:08. This condition of the upper NW corner went unnoticed by FEMA and NIST investigations.
0:18:30 - Good close-up view on the west-face fires on floors 96 and 97 near the SW corner of WTC 1 (9:24:13am).
0:19:05 - Close-up view on the impact hole at WTC-1 north face (9:24:48am).
0:31:23 - Reporter picks up the report about an allegedly incoming third plane (9:37:06am).
0:38:51 - First mentioning by the reporter about the Pentagon being on fire (9:44:34am).
0:53:15 - WTC 2 begins to collapse at 9:58:59am.
0:55:45 - Intense fire becomes visible on the 104th floor at WTC-1 west face near SW corner at 10:01:28am, six floors above the impact zone on floors 93-98. This was also noted by the reporter at 0:56:00 in video ("There is additional fire.").
1:02:45 - Camera is tilting upward to catch a F-15 jet flying overhead (10:08:28am).
1:13:03 - Pressure pulse at 10:18:48am pushes a high quantity of smoke outward from floors 92 (north face) and 95 (north and west faces) of WTC 1. A small puff of smoke emerges out of the south face windows, presumably on floor 93.
1:22:38 - Complete destruction of WTC 1 starts at 10:28:22am. WTC 7 gets hit by chunks from the collapsing tower at it's SW corner and western half of south face.
