Confirmation #1!
Person #1 in frame #20 from "32 Frames" is, in fact, Frank Varriano. Confirmed by his family.
We've tentatively IDd four other people — working to confirm.
Credit to @carlwinslowreal and @ashanaga2045805 for first flagging #1-3, and @StanleySkoglund for #6-7.
We need your help.
This photo — #20 from "32 Frames" — shows 7 people evacuating from the World Trade Center shortly before the North Tower collapsed on 9/11.
We have not been able to ID any of them — or determine whether or not they survived.
"32 Frames: A 9/11 Mystery is an enthralling, fascinating, devastating and deeply educational documentary. It is the kind of film that stays with you long after the credits roll...
It is about memory, loss, survival, trauma and the importance of preserving history... 9.5/10."
I’ve spent the last twenty-five years searching for the people in my photo. I’ve found ten. This is Benjamin. He was late for a job interview in the World Trade Center.
In 2003, an FBI agent showed a journalist photos recovered from a disposable camera found in the ground zero rubble. The images are from inside the towers, above the point of impact.
The FBI has said it can no longer locate the photos and is now facing a FOIA lawsuit over it
"32 Frames" is currently the #1 new-release documentary on Amazon.
We are entirely independent, with no corporate or institutional backing. Congrats to the team.
@TheOlChippy Him and Joe Lovero (also a photographer) were the last two to be this close to the North Tower before it fell. Joe survived the collapse but died in the hospital later that day. There’s a new documentary about this, 32 Frames. These photographers were brave.
Big development in the 9/11 archives
Over 11 hours of raw, extended high definition footage from the Naudet brothers was just released yesterday.
It not only provides never before seen footage, but much clearer film that was previously broken and incomplete.
This includes the firefighters all returning back to the station following the 9/11 attacks, what that first night looked like, raw conversations amongst the men, and working “the pile” as seen here.
It also provides what I believe is a clear shot of Bill Biggart in his final moments before tower 2 came down.
If you’re interested in raw, extended footage that shows the small details of what it was like to be there, I would recommend it.
"Borders's cancer resulted in a $190,000 debt—even though she had not yet received surgery and still needed chemotherapy. Borders said she could not even afford to get her prescriptions filled. She believed that her cancer was triggered by the toxic dust she was exposed to."
Yes, absolutely. That's why I'm matching the next $25 million in donations to The Never Forget Fund. Join me in supporting the @Sept11Memorial & Museum: https://t.co/92N1plzmC1

NEW: Mayor Mamdani is turning New York’s streets into a walking memorial to the everyday heroes of 9/11.
Memory Markers uses LinkNYC kiosks to tell dozens of stories where they happened, from 1,000 taxi drivers giving rescue workers free rides to sanitation crews processing 1.5 million tons of debris at Fresh Kills.
Their service is part of our history. Now New York will tell it.

On 9/11, Mark Desire lead a small team from the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to Lower Manhattan and survived the collapse of the south tower before beginning the painstaking work of identifying victims’ remains.
25 years later, he and his team are still working to bring answers and loved ones home.
