[@alca1707]

@@benjistylez4923 you have to understand that when those towers collapsed, most of what was in there was pulverized to dust, and that dust just flew everywhere like some sort of blizzard. It contained concrete, wood, plastic, asbestos, human remains, electrical wiring, components, jet fuel, basically everything that was in those towers all grinded into one big mixed dust cloud. It's even more horrible than most people realize, and that's what these people were running away from. It's caused over 150 different forms of cancer in thousands of people.

Camera operators are known to get into dangerous situations just to get the shot. I know this, because I've done my own share of putting myself in danger to document things. Now, of course NOWHERE near this dangerous, thank goodness. I must add, what I've done is a joke in comparison to this. But I have filmed the surroundings during a wildfire that sent a lot of ash into the atmosphere, which is very unhealthy to breathe, but I went outside to film it anyway and ended up coughing it up for several days. I've filmed strong winds, which was dangerous as things were flying past. So yeah, camera operators sometimes forget about self-preservation, because they are focused on one thing, getting the shot to document history. I totally agree with him.

One of the most harrowing and haunting 911 calls ever made came from this. There was a man named Kevin Cosgrove who, with a few of his friends and workmates, was trapped above the impact zone in the South Tower.

His last words on tape as the building crumbled from underneath him were " *OH GOD! OH-* ".
