There is very little clear footage of flight 11 flying over manhattan and striking the north tower. Practically none exists in fact.
But we have Jules Naudet’s footage, that not only captures this rare event, but actually follows firemen into those very towers that ultimately became perhaps the most famous unintended film and documentary ever created.
Jules is tagging along with batallion chief Joseph pfeifer as they respond to a mundane gas leak call at church and lispenard.
The firsr couple minutes is pretty boring, regular Tuesday morning work. Beautiful sunny day, twin towers in the background.
Until 1 min 45 sec into the footage can you can an unusually low jetliner flying directly over manhattan. Everyone looks up in confusion, and what they see next changed America forever.
What the fuck did I just watch? One of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen. YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING is Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder’s unparalleled, full-access look into Elizabeth Holmes’s life leading up to her imprisonment. Shocking, expansive, and revealing, depending on what you choose to believe. At 174 minutes, it never lags, but it certainly lingers, leaving behind haunting revelations and disturbing moral contradictions that I’m still trying to wrap my head around. A mesmerizing psychological excavation of truth, performance, and self-deception that will have you questioning every glance, gesture, and word and all through Fielder’s dark, comedic point of view. Gorgeously photographed and edited. Completely stunned.
"A masterpiece. A truly monumental work of art."
Conceived and filmed by genre-defying filmmaker William Greaves and directed by David Greaves, ONCE UPON A TIME IN HARLEM opens only in theaters October 16.
Bill Brand’s Masstransiscope is still incredibly cool: a vibrant zoetrope in the old Myrtle Ave station. See it from the right side of a Manhattan-bound B/Q leaving DeKalb. A fun side effect of modernizing the DeKalb Interlocking will be seeing it at full speed, as god intended.
