Extended Preview of Luc Courchesne Ftg. (Framepool/Nimia) - Enhanced, Recut, Missing Audio Replaced 

My mother was in the South Tower just above the impact zone and no part of her body has been identified after all these years if it even still exists. Some days it still feels like a nightmare you wake up from.

Who’s watching this in 2024

Am I the only person that's never seen this angle? How are these guys so calm? Are you freaking kidding me? It's like they were waiting for it

Very powerful video. We must never forget.

it's a weird feeling knowing that you start meeting more and more people who were either too young or were not around when this happened.

The roar of that jet is sinister.

Never, in many years, had I ever seen the 2nd impact from amateur footage and from such vicinity ... astonishing. The airplane sound from up close is just frightening. Thanks for releasing this valuable document of that day. 9:55

Wow, one of the best footage I've seen of the second plane hitting the south tower! I'm also French Canadian. So I got what they were saying, and they were as shocked and in disbelief as everyone else. Une tragédie qu'on devrait jamais oublier. RIP a toutes les victimes.

As the 2nd plane comes in... you gotta love how the camera man just takes it all in, not yelping, screaming, no nothing.... eerie

*Even though i was alive & remembered this like it was yesterday I still can't believe something of this magnitude actually happened.*

The guy was so incredibly chill when the plane hit. He didn’t even put the camera down to protect himself. Good on him! His reaction was calm, almost as if he didn’t realize what had happened because he was seeing it through the lens of his camera

Was sitting on the top level of the george Washington bridge in a big truck not going anywhere . When the 1st tower came down it shook the bridge . Something you will never forget. ✈️✈️✈️

My heart aches for the souls lost that day

I've seen a lot of videos about 9/11. However, this one is completely unknown and new to me. Thank you for the upload and your great work. Never forget.

Never saw this footage before tonight and the image of the second plane roaring into the south tower was unbelievable at such close range😢.

THE SAD PART IS WHEN THE PLANE HIT THE FIRST TOWER PEOPLE WERE LOOKING OUT OF THE WINDOWS OF THE SECOND TOWER AND WERE TOLD NOT TO MOVE OR LEAVE ACCORDING TO PEOPLE THAT THEY CALLED ON THE CELL PHONE . SOME LEFT ANYWAY .

translation if anyone is interested : 1st guy filming : « What was this? Like an explosion? It’s gonna make it around the world. That’s crazy. That must be hell inside. Can you imagine what time is it? 8.30am? there are many people at work (in the building). Looks like there was an explosion from this side where there are flames. Everything around the perimeter is gonna be blocked. That’s crazy because just this morning seeing the Statue of Liberty, I was actually thinking that if some people wanted to do a terrorist attack, the statue would be a symbol to target. It’s on an island and easily reachable/destroyable and it means liberty too but this (meaning the WTC) is bizarre. I mean it looks like a terrorist attack, we don’t know but… That’s really a whole floor/level meaning what’s above it is…. And how do you put out a fire like that?! But I wonder what’s burning so much because it is mainly concret and glass… maybe the furniture? » The other guy says « wow someone is falling » « Where? » « In between both towers. Someone threw themselves » After the plane hit : « Fuck did you see that? Are we dreaming or what? » Then he says in English he got it on tape. « Hey that’s crazy, do you know the structure dude? A plane crashes into it, it doesn’t collapse! That’s incredible. » The other guy «what's incredible/unbelievable is that a plane just crashed into it in front of our eyes. » 1st guy « but the plane completely disintegrated?» Other guy : « that was a suicide then or it was remote controlled? » 1st guy : « meh no it cannot be remote controlled. I never saw anything like this. That’s really… unbelievable unbelievable. That’s something, really something. » Other guy : other people are falling. The woman asks them in English if they saw the plane hit and then says that they hit both buildings. 1st guy : « Oh the 1st building was also a plane? Ah… that’s why it’s (burning so much) Other guy : "look someone is falling on the left" 1st guy : « ah shit Oh la la. These people have no choice (but to jump) That’s quite radical, those were big planes (responding to his friend). In fact when you know you are gonna die… (talking about the jumpers). I wonder if I really filmed it. I know I saw it with my eyes but I don’t know if I got it on the tape. But that’s surreal. You are looking at something, you see a plane. It came like this… I was telling myself 1st I thought it was a helicopter that was getting closer I was wondering if it was going in front or behind then realised it’s a plane that’s crashing into it I didn’t know anymore if I was dreaming or what! (incredulous laugh)» After the collapse they are talking about where to go. They think that staying close to the water is where the smog is gonna clear first thanks to the wind coming from the sea, they also talk about trying to find their friends.

Something about that early morning light in the time between the first and second towers being hit. Dawn of a whole new world.

This angle impact really gives you an idea of how fast that plane really was traveling. It's incredible The fact that plane is flying at twice its normal cruising speed. Then impacting the building. It just doesn't seem real.

Nessa época eu tinha 10 anos de idade. Eu acompanhei pelo TV Plantão.. Tinha chegado da escola, eu estava almoçando... Eu ficava torcendo para as torres não cair. Eu lembro que chorei bastante depois que elas cairam.

To see this angle of the second plane hit at 9:58 is soo heart breaking. It still leaves me speechless! My heart hurts for those on the planes to this day! Just as so unfair to lose your life this way! My heart still hurts for everyone that died Sept 11th!

It's may,2024, and I'm still watching, I never want to forget,,

I remember watching this on TV, as it happened. Im so sorry for each and everyone who lost loved ones. Or were badly injured, both physically and mentally. Xx❤❤

It strikes me how emotionless the cameraman and his friends were. Especially when the second plane hit.

Clearest video I’ve seen to date that slam was so clear

pretty calm for watching that live the camera man...

22 years later and still hurts, I was 16 in 2001 💔💔

I used to love going on top of the observation tower. I still cannot believe those huge, beautiful buildings are gone. It was the first time I ever saw a Matryoshka Doll which were being sold by a female Russian vendor. I also went for a job interview and didn't get the job.

the moment that breaks our hearts, even as we watch after 20 years😢😢😢😢 why 😢😢😢😥

People often mistake these for explosions but in the first few minutes at about 8:55-9:03am about 10+ people fell from the 92nd and 93rd floors on the East side down into the Plaza due to the fire encroaching their entire floor. You can audibly hear them hitting the ground at 5:09, 5:40, 6:08, 6:53, 7:15, 8:15, 9:46. There is video of this taken from a couple in the Millennium Hilton overlooking the Towers. Then later on you got 18:28, 18:32, 21:33 and 23:47. So people. There were no bombs going off. It was people literally exploding on the pavement.

テレビを見ていました。これは、特別に作られた番組か映画のワンシーンで、何を表現しているのか分かりませんでした。まだ、世界中の人達がそんな状態だったのかも知れませんね。私の暮らす日本では、自然災害は起こります。けれど、これほどの事、遥かに超えて起こる事に、アメリカという国、それと相対する国、そのレベルの大きさに、未だに理解が及びません。何年経とうと、被害を受けた方々、その身内の方々、いまだ消えぬ被害や心の傷を抱えておられ、それでも生きていかれる、強い意志をお持ちです。精神の素晴らしさに感動を覚えながら、遠い国から哀悼の想いを送ります。

30:45 Unreal to hear the gentleman real time then saying "Worse Tragedy in this country" Most certainly was... RIP to all that was lost and affected

Bless those and their families who lost loved ones physically and mentally.

Gives you a sense of how scary that day was.

This will always be in my heart spirit 😢and will always pray for the loss souls 🙏🏽🕊️💐🕯️🕊️🧎🏽‍♀️🤲🏽

9:57 While you had already seen hell in an instant, another full plane slipped into the tower! And in that instant, how do you stay calm for those who film?! In addition, he can be heard speaking in a soft voice!!

The lack of reaction from the camera man when the plane goes into the second building is a little disturbing...

It was a beautiful morning the sky was so blue

이 사람은 마치 알고 있었다는듯이 자연스런 목소리와 영상을 찍고있네,,,놀라는 기색이 없이 웃기까지

This is the clearest video i've seen of the south tower impact. When the plane hits the building you can clearly see that large hole open up.

This is probably the best video I’ve seen out of the thousands I’ve watched.

Mi padre estaba ahí, ese accidente me lo arrebató desafortunadamente, siempre fue una persona de bien, siempre lo recordaré como una gran persona y un gran piloto

This guy recording was not surprised. He knew what was going on.

already 20 years, just wow

Great job fixing it! Thanks! What an incredible view of the south side of WTC 1.

Я не поверила своим глазам, когда увидела это в новостях ещё тогда, 11 сентября. Это утро запомнила навсегда😢😢😢. Не могу даже представить какой ужас переживали тогда люди, находящиеся там... Сколько смертей... Сколько разрушенных судеб😢😢😢. Сколько горя😢😢😢😢

That was some hit wow insane! This video is very clear prayers for everyone that day until now🙏🏼

Strangely quiet after the 2nd terrible impact, I'd be full of exclamations! Excellent viewpoint... never forget 🙏🏻

Thank you for sharing this with us, as we still cope with this tragedy 20 years later. Still crazy to hear our F-15 Eagles flying cover over our own city not long after the collapse.

9:54 incrível como esse homem conseguiu gravar e manteve a calma, realmente incrível

My heart still aches for all the lives lost on that dreadful day...

How the hell could he record that impact without even saying anything or with a steady camera

Incredible. I still cannot believe it. Truly horrifying

No matter how much time has passed, it still makes me break down.

The roar of the plane and how you don't actually hear the crash until about 1-2 seconds after the plane hits the tower is just eerie.

Every time you see a puff of smoke and or papers shooting out is a floor collapsing from above. I saw one video I think it was the one with Edna Citrone waving where a window blows out just bellow her and I swear that it’s a person getting pushed out by the air pressure due to the collapsing floor. So so sad.

wow thanks for sharing, i've seen luc's video but not this version. insanely important historically

i remember watching this live on tv in the U K. BLEW MY MIND.

Never seen this angle before. It's so clear and all the more horrific.

Never seen it like before. 2nd plane hitting shocked me, even after all these years and seeing it happen live. Its the angle.

4:25 3 jumpers from obove.

From South Africa, watched that day , wow ,heartbreaking, couldn't believe it , no human would do something like that

Ive never seen this angle..I'm in shock right now! that angle was sooo scary!!God, may they all rest with you now,,

if this man would have kept the camera for few more seconds at 9:36 frame he would have got excellent angle of plane approaching

MrKoenig1985 Great work on restoring these old videos. Keep it up.

I'm so sorry 😢 rest in peace, that was terrible, God bless you.

It was horrible. I went to bring my granddaughter and my daughter to school. I come back, turned the TV on was gonna drink coffee. And I'm thinking that that's like in another country. But then I see the newscast and I said oh my God, that's in New York. And I think the President was in Florida at that moment in a school, but he was very composed and left. That's cool. Then that's when I saw the second plane and I was in shock.I started crying.Could not believe in god be with all those families that lost their loved one that day

Kids today don't realize how scary this was when it happened.

So terrible. The evil who was behind these attacks will paying the price for it for eternity. This is by far the best video footage of this terrible incident. Prayers and thoughts go to all the innocent victims and families 🙏🙏🙏 Make peace and love. Help one another. Dont spread evil and hatred.

Comment pouvez-vous rester aussi calme et passif en filmant cette horreur ????

I was 25 yrs old when this happened! Never forget.

Very eerie how emotionless the camera man is the whole entire time like he's at a park listening to the birds chirping! I maybe wrong but he sounds french .

Never seen this video… damn. Where the hell has this been?? It’s so surreal how the plane just disappears into the side of the building… I guess it just doesn’t look real, but who really ever knew what a 767 looks like when it plunged into the side of a building you know?? Crazy.

You got the absolute best video of the second plane I've ever seen! I don't know how you stayed so calm.. I guess shock can do strange things to you though.. Great footage! 🤗

I thought it was a terrible accident at first but when the second plane hit I instantly yelled out: "WE'RE AT WAR NOW!!"

@MrKoenig1985 How many minutes after impact did this video start, so at what time stamp e.g. 8:50 AM?

He laughs at one point and it’s unnerving.

So sorry.God be with you.all.try to find peace in your hearts

This event will go down in history as a inside job.

Showing TONS of courage and moxie to stay thru the shot as much as possible thru the impact at 9:57

ПООШЛО МНОГО ЛЕТ А СЛЕЗЫ ЛЬЮТСЯ.КАКИЕ ЛЮДИ ЖЕСТОКИЕ.ЧТО НАМ НЕ ХВОТАЕТ.ВЕДЬ ЗЛО БУДЕТ НАКАЗАННО СОВРЕМЕНЕМ. ВСЕМ МИРА И ДОБРА.

These guys are very calm

The sound of the people hitting the bottom is incredible loud.

I remember thinking how difficult it was to believe something so incredibly horrible like this was happening on such a beautiful day.

I find it funny that some people think they know more about the buildings than professionals xD. Thanks for the upload though

The two cameramen speak French, the one who films is more understandable, the other is difficult to hear, they do not know that it was a plane which hit the World Trade Center and did not see the first crash. English translation : 1:43 "It looks like an explosion or something" 3:22 "it's going to go around the world my friends 3:26 It's really something..." 3:40 “this must be hell” 3:53 "can you imagine, it must be 8:30 a.m. there must be a lot of people working there at the moment." 4:10 “It looks like there was an explosion on this side, where there is fire” 7:24 "I was just thinking if there would have been an attack the Statue of Liberty could have been a target since it is a symbol but it is on an island and difficult to reach but I would never have imagined the World Trade Center attack finally could be a terrorist attack we don't know." 8:00 "it's an entire floor that exploded I have the impression. the floors above must be on fire. how is it possible to create such a big fire...I wonder what the materials are burn to make smoke as thick as it is." 9:40 “Someone has fallen!” "where? where?" asks the person filming... "between the two turns" 10:18 Zack, Ah did you see that?? shall we continue filming or not? 11:40 "eh it's incredible. ah you saw that structure my guy, there's a plane that fits inside it doesn't fall, it's incredible" “The most incredible thing is that a plane enters the tower in front of our eyes!” 12:18 “the plane has completely disintegrated! 12:24 “the plane was perhaps remotely controlled?” “no, a plane like that cannot be remotely controlled” replies the person filming 12:36 "I've never seen anything like this...really...amazing...unbelievable" 14:08 "it's really something, it's really something" 14:41 "there is someone who jumped from above." "where? left and right?" "between the two towers"

It's crazy how much time has passed and it seems like yesterday this happened

I was still in high school when this happened. I remember crying along with everyone else.

🙏🙏🙏🙏for the people who died at this tragic time 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

These 2 Québécois aka French Canadians are just soo Zen!!!! No Fcq, Ho myyy goood, or amaaaazing!!!!!

I still don’t understand how 1,2 and 7 looked like a professional dropped them perfectly in their building footprints.

THANK GOD NO ONE WAS HURT

In the early days of RU-vid, I think I remember a video. I think after the collapse of 1 and 2, there’s a guy in the window of WTC7 or something, a couple floors up, yelling out of it. Have you ever seen something like this? I believe it was pre-empted by clips of damage, with loud electrical transformer buzzing

Got footage from 1998, need to put up to counterbalance this pain.... still so raw after 20yrs.

Ahhhhh the good old days...

The juxtaposition of the absolute horror of this all happening against a beautiful blue sky morning

This reminds me of that Irwin Allen film from 1975: "The Towering Inferno".. .

Wonderful camera work. Thank you for not repeatedly screaming OMG! OMG!

Who planned it and how they did it is still a big story. But with the crash of the second plane, my heart was filled with pain. I am sorry for all those who died. I am sorry for the dreams and families they left behind.

Somehow this feels as if it just happened.Truly timeless
