Reply #97: 1st Hit Reaction Shot

[RayUbinger]

aka First Moment of a Brave New World,
discovered by me on June 30, 2004,
lurking within the Naudet-FDNY snuff film,
was shot along the east gutter of Church St.
looking north and west
toward the Church-Murray intersection
in the block immediately south of Murray.

Lack of traffic is explained by the fact that the street was blocked to the south of (behind) the cameraman (evidently Gedeon Naudet, even though the narration has him blocks away, back at the Duane St. firehouse). This street blocking is established elsewhere in the movie. The movie has at least four snippets of footage from the Church-Murray vicinity.

The morning sun in the east is coming from the right, roughly. Church is a N-S (roughly) street. Some reflections of sunlight off of the Emigrants Bank windows (EB is the bldg in left foreground) are being cast eastward and down into the middle of the street.

As for whether Mr. T-Shirt and Mr. Briefcase are looking at the same thing, remember the action was very high up, and, we're only shown approximately the first second of their reaction. (The fact that the movie presents it in slow motion disguises this fact.) I figure one or both of them were still figuring out exactly where to look. There is also a third person turning to look, the possible Condi Rice lookalike in the mid background. Her head twirl is in sync with and facing the same direction as Mr. Briefcase's.

I maintain this is an authentic unstaged live pedestrian reaction shot at the instant of the 1st Hit, shot so the terrorists could have a snuff film of our (the victims') first wince of pain and fear and shock.
