Pavel was one of only two people in New York to capture both towers exploding as they were allegedly being struck but he didn't release this clip until 2003. It's very similar to the uncredited mute splodge but here they have a building in the way to act as a fig leaf masking the plane having no impact as it melts into the World Trade Centre like a ghost.
Much is made of his footage of 'Flight 11' striking the North Tower but this video is less known. The banking, shining, silver plane is in sharp contrast to Park Foreman, Tina Cart & Boris Miller representations. Very few photos appear of Pavel from around 2001 onwards, then he appears a decade later on Czech TV in 2012 giving this extensive interview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGZyFQlvK4Q
Tape of 9/11 WTC attack surfaces 2 years later -
"The only videotape known to have captured both planes slamming into the World Trade Centre, and only the second image of the first strike, has surfaced on the eve of the second anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks.
The footage, obtained by The New York Times, was taken by a Czech immigrant construction worker whose son at one point came close to accidentally erasing the rare, chilling footage, the newspaper reported on its website today.
Federal officials investigating the Trade Centre collapse are trying to obtain a copy of the hourlong tape, which could cast light on the cause of the north tower's collapse by helping to determine factors including the exact speed at which the first plane travelled, The Times said.
The only other known footage of the first plane's impact came from a French film crew making a documentary about a probationary firefighter."
