This video isnt like so many of the others i have seen while researching for the obvious reason that it shows you post trade center images of fireman at the wreckage. But what the fundamental difference is the video's ability to let you imagine the disaster from a rare angle. I realise that its footage from before the incident, but from all the "tribute" clips almost all are from ground level or distant vantage point. Whether it is Pre 09/11 or not, to see from inside the W.T.C fills me with calm and un-nerving fright, as it allows you think ' I know what is goin to happen'.
Due to overwhelming or inconceivable numbers of Youtube tributes to 09/11 the thought of what it was like before is lost to the events of that day and the reaction in the aftermath which have surpassed or superceded any idea of the W.T.C on 09/10 or 09/09.
(Ignore the images of the scout, the Star Spangled Banner at Iwo Jima and pearl Harbour because I cant figure out the link between the three that give a unified message)
To me this Video tributes the determined rescue crews of the DireDept, Ambulance, Police and many other everyday pedestrians who gave their time and effort. Many videos define what is missing, what the W.T.C represented (E.g. to terrorists the symbol of freedom) to Americans and the effect of its absence. the .W.T.C was a part of the image that represented New York, a side from the Statue of Liberty or Empire State Building. It rocked public emotion.
Ultimately this clip shows the scale of the disaster from a different perspective, it doesnt show you what people on the saw that day, it shows what the unlucky inhabitants saw instead.
