Video from 9/11 - Escape from office in World Trade Center South Tower. From inside the World Trade Center to 195 Broadway to New Jersey Riverfront. The video was actually from a tiny camera attached to a Casio Pocket PC (with somewhat limited memory) from the uploader's colleague. That is all the footage he had. Filmed by Peter on his Casio Pocket PC. In Memory of Randy.
