Published on Jun 1, 2024
Northwest view. Ground level. West Street near North Moore Street.
Recorded likely by CBS' camera operator Steve Bikofsky, as NIST Video List entry suggests for the last section on "CBS-Net NIST Dub #7" tape, containing a extended version of this video but with clearly altered (muffled) audio track ( https://youtu.be/3PC3HWdUPHU?t=437 ).

This NIST version is very overexposed, has heavily washed-out colors and noisy, one can barely recognize the WTC7 west face. Therefore not raw but manipulated quality.

The snippet as shown in the Naudet documentary "9/11", is the best quality version available so far. But the audio was completely altered there and the frame height was cropped for upscaling to 16:9 display aspect ratio.

Video and audio quality is largerly untouched. Only deinterlacing and lossless recompression were applied.
