A woman who managed to film the terrorist attacks in New York on September 11, 2001, from a fire escape is in talks with documentary filmmakers.
elchi reports that this was announced by The New York Times newspaper.
According to the publication, the footage shot by Thuc Doan Nguyen-Brophy will be used in the short film “My Fire Escape,” which tells the stories of residents of New York’s Chinatown who survived the terrorist attack. The video, which remained in the woman’s safe for over 20 years, captures the thick black smoke rising from the North Tower and the moment the second plane crashed into the South Tower.
The publication notes that Nguyen-Brophy admitted she had avoided watching the footage for a long time because she was afraid of seeing people jumping from the burning buildings. Dylan Williams, a curator at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum who viewed the tape, confirmed the uniqueness of the footage taken from the fire escape of the apartment in Chinatown.
On September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists from the al-Qaeda group hijacked four passenger planes in the USA. They directed two of them into the towers of the World Trade Center, which were the tallest buildings in New York at the time, and the third into the Pentagon building near Washington. The fourth plane was also heading toward the US capital but crashed near the city of Shanksville. As a result of the terrorist attacks, 2,977 people lost their lives.
