Total bullsh!t.

In June of 2001, FDNY firefighter James Hanlon teamed up with the Naudet brothers (both videographers) to document the progress of a probie firefighter beginning with his graduation from the fire academy to the completion of his probationary period. Hanlon and Jules and Gideon Naudet chose probie Tony Benatatos as their subject and had him assigned to Engine 7/Ladder 1/Battalion 1 Firehouse, (Hanlon's station). This firehouse was located 10 blocks from the WTC and was a first responder to that facility.

Throughout the summer, the Naudet brothers documented the activities of the men at this firehouse and focused on Benatatos as he performed his duties as a rookie firefighter.

On the morning of September 11, the firehouse, under the direction of Battalion Chief Joseph Pfeifer, was called out on a reported "odor of gas" at Church and Lispenard Streets. Jules rode with Pfeifer to investigate, while Gedeon stayed behind at the firehouse with the "probie". As the Battalion 1 firefighters examine the supposed gas leak, American Airlines Flight 11 flew overhead. Turning the camera to follow the plane, Jules taped one of only three known recordings of the first plane hitting the North Tower (Tower 1) of the World Trade Center, the others being a video shot by Pavel Hlava and a sequence of still frames taken by Wolfgang Staehle.

The firefighters, under the direction of Chief Pfeifer, were the first responders on the scene, and Jules was allowed to follow the chief during the attempted rescue operation. Jules, Chief Pfeifer and several other FDNY Chiefs were inside the lobby of Tower 1 when Tower 2 was hit by the second aircraft and when Tower 2 eventually collapsed (Gédéon, meanwhile, is back at the firehouse, filming the reactions of Tony Benetatos and the rest of the firefighters from the next shift as they try to deal with the disaster).

This documentary was released and shown on a CBS special. The film gives various firemen's accounts of the events of the remainder of the day - from the initial crash to the building's collapse to the attempts to rescue survivors from the rubble - as well as the aftermath of the events and those who were lost, including Chief Pfeifer's brother, Engine 33 Lieutenant Kevin Pfeifer.

Maybe you should see it. It is available on DVD: 9/11 - The Filmmakers' Commemorative Edition

The idea that this was an orchestrated, or scripted event, is absolutely insane.

BTW, I was a professional skydiving videographer, so I'm no stranger to camera work in fast moving, high stress environments.

My sources are enbeded in the comments. Had you read the rebuttal, I made it clear. I did cut and paste from an earlier paper I wrote, I am truly sorry you could not follow the line of thought.

And had you read my comment, I acknowledged that the "exodus" did take place. And if you are ever interested, the books I mentioned are really quite well written, I fear much better job than I could ever do. Also, much of the information can be found in the newly opened Nakba Museum Project of Memory and Hope, in Washington DC. I was an invitee to the opening, and found a wealth of information. Bshara Nassar actually solicited funds from prominent Jewish families and guess who contributed to this new educational avenue. Yes, I did! He and his staff did an excellent job in providing needed information on Palestine.
