A new professional video has emerged documenting the collapse of the World Trade Center towers in New York following the September 11, 2001 attacks, captured by a Japanese photographer who happened to be in New York at the time. The photographer, Kei Sugimoto, uploaded the video to YouTube, which was filmed with a professional camera and details the destruction inflicted on the towering structures and the moments of their collapse. The video's detailed imagery and the photographer's composure during such a catastrophic event, which no one anticipated would reach this devastating magnitude with thousands of casualties, are notable.
Three days ago, Kei Sugimoto uploaded this never-before-seen 9/11 video online. Filmed from the rooftop of 64 St. Marks Place with a Sony VX2000 and teleconverter, it shows the Twin Towers collapsing from a previously unseen angle. Kei was 24 years old when he recorded the footage.
The photographer fixed his camera on the roof of a building titled 64 St. Mark's Place in New York using a Sony VX2000 camera equipped with a telephoto lens, as he noted in his video commentary. On September 11, 2001, hijackers from the "Al-Qaeda" organization took four passenger planes in the United States, crashing two into the World Trade Center in New York, one into the Pentagon, while the last plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. The attacks on the World Trade Center alone resulted in the deaths of 2,977 people, including 343 firefighters and 60 police officers.
