Most striking, however, is a silent film, of sorts.
Cameraman Evan Fairbanks filled about 20 minutes of
videotape with his observations that morning in Lower
Manhattan. Arriving on a pedestrian bridge across
Trinity Place shortly after Tower One was hit, he
shows us the building in flames, paper raining down as
if in a ticker tape parade and scores of New Yorkers
looking up in confusion and disbelief. Oddly enough,
there is no panic.

As Fairbanks's aims his lens toward the nearly
cobalt-blue skies, United Airlines Flight 175 suddenly
appears without warning and slams into Tower Two. This
image has appeared on TV, but only in slow motion.
Seeing the jet hit the skyscraper as quickly as a dart
zipping an inch from their noses caused three sets of
museum patrons to gasp loudly at the familiar site
while I visited this exhibit. The subsequent scramble
on the streets below recalls the pedestrian
pandemonium in Independence Day or King Kong.

The man who was recording the events with his video
camera, Evan Fairbanks, had just emerged from Trinity
Church, where he was videotaping the archbishop of
Wales. He came out in time to photograph the paper
snow. On the street, people were dialing their
cellphones again and again to tell their someones the
news. They were looking up at a white plume of smoke.
Against a crack of blue sky just above the American
Stock Exchange you could see the source of the strange
weather. One of the towers of the World Trade Center
was on fire. And things were remarkably calm.

He starts shooting just after the first plane hit from
the overpass in front of the American Stock Exchange.
