Didn’t the 911 incident in the United States involve the explosion of two World Trade Center buildings? How were those pictures taken?
Hello, my answer to your question is as follows
1. According to my understanding, what you want to ask is that 911 was the explosion of the World Trade Center and it was an emergency. Why are there so many photos and videos that capture these scenes as if they were prepared in advance? Since the whole building exploded and so many people died, who would take those pictures and videos and circulate them?
2. There are several aspects here
(1) At 8:46:40 a.m. on September 11, 2001, the first 767 announced that it was traveling at approximately 490 miles per hour. It hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center at high speed, and the impact location was between the 94th and 98th floors in the north of the building.
At 9:02:54 a.m. another Boeing 767 crashed into the 78th to 84th floors of the South Tower of the World Trade Center at a speed of approximately 590 miles per hour.
There was a time interval between the two impacts. After the first impact, nearby citizens, including citizens inside the building, reporters, and rescue workers had the opportunity to take action, including taking photos and recordings. In fact, at 8:47 a.m., just one minute after the explosion, CNN began broadcasting live coverage of the World Trade Center. This was the first news media in the world to report on the attack.
(2) There are many pictures taken from the perspective of helicopters. Helicopters used by American J, radio stations, and even private M are more common, and their media coverage is very fast! In addition, aerial photography is less affected by such disasters, and it is easier to overlook the overall situation.
(3) For long-distance, clear, long-focus, professional pictures and videos, they are completely shot from a farther and safer distance using professional photography equipment. Tens of seconds after the building was hit, until 9:59:04 a.m.: the South Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed, and then at 10:28:31 a.m.: the North Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed from top to bottom. The live broadcast of the TV station with professional equipment allowed hundreds of millions of viewers around the world to witness the collapse of the building. Many photos and videos originated from this.
(4) There are actually fewer photos and videos taken from inside the building, because in the face of disaster, many people do not take photos or videos, but go to escape. There must be monitoring equipment in the building, but it belongs to the weak current system of the building. Unlike the black box of an airplane, it has no disaster resistance. In the face of this kind of disaster, it is very difficult to leave data. If there is a monitoring part underground in this kind of building, Some information may be left in the computer room, but it should be extremely rare for it to be made public.
3. In the face of disaster, it is not difficult to leave some photos and videos. There are also photos and videos where the photographers may have left us forever. We should be grateful to the people who witnessed these moments, at least those of us who are alive, will cherish life more.
I hope my answer can help you. If there are any questions about my answer, please feel free to ask. I know everything I know and can tell you everything I know.
