Evan Fairbanks’ WTC 9/11 Footage (Enhanced Video/Audio & Doubled FPS)

00:05 - View on the debris-covered Church Street after the 1st plane has crashed into WTC 1 (North Tower) at 8:46:30am (NIST final timeline “Adjusted Time from Television Broadcasts“). NOTE: Defective audio for the first 06mn:08s has been derived from another NIST tape copy with poor video quality, which was obtained from the FBI, and has been laid over the mostly silent raw video, which was acquired by NIST from ABC News. 03:28 - Unknown basement-explosion/s eyewitness, escaped from the B1 level of WTC (exact location was not given). 04:55 - First “full“ view on the twin towers from southeast. Church and Liberty Streets. 05:23 - Unknown Asian-American man says he heard two explosions, presumably during the 1st plane impact. This is consistent with the audio recording made by Ginny Carr from the 36th floor of One Liberty Plaza, about 300 m (~984 ft) away from WTC 1. Hear the related audio segment here: 05:40 - Unknown male mentions, partially off-camera, smoke in a train station, probably the PATH station underneath the main WTC complex. 05:54 - Different recording take. A male person is listening to the radio set that is standing on car hood. The broadcasting radio station hasn’t been identified yet. 06:44 - 2nd plane impacts WTC 2 (South Tower) at 9:02:59am. Lights flicker briefly at the Burger King restaurant and inside WTC 4 when the plane enters the tower. 10:03 - FDNY fire marshals Jim Devery (left) and Ron Bucca (right) making their way on Liberty Street toward the WTC. Bucca died later when WTC 2 started to collapse, killing him and Batt. Chief Orio Palmer, the first firefighters to be killed inside this building while inspecting the lower impact floors. Devery has luckily survived by escorting the injured woman Ling Young from the 51st floor of WTC 2 all the way down to the street and then bringing her to an ambulance. 10:49 - Tilt upward on the both damaged and burning towers. 11:07 - Running towards the FDNY Engine 10 & Ladder 10 station (“Ten House“) on Liberty Street, just opposite of the WTC complex. 15:40 - A group of firefighters on Liberty Street on their way towards the WTC. 17:29 - Inside the WTC Shopping Mall on the ground level, underneath WTC 5. PAPD Chief William Hall is approached by two unknown police officials, probably asking him to take Evan Fairbanks up to the PAPD Cmd. Center on the 2nd floor of WTC 5 in order to retrieve a copy of his video tape. 17:40 - Large crowd of WTC occupants can be seen escaping on the escalator leading upward to the WTC-5 lobby, then exiting it on to Church Street. 18:46 - Inside the PAPD Cmd. Center, including the two already seen police officials, some other unknown people, PAPD Det. Thomas McHale, WTC Director Alan Reiss, and PAPD officer John McLoughlin (19:37). 21:14 - People start to flee the scene just before the first signs of collapse of WTC 2 appear at 9:58:59am.
