Host Garry Moore pops out the question: “Now, how would you feel, Mrs. Armstrong, if it turned out…of course, nobody knows…but if it turns out that your son is the first man to land on the moon? How would you feel?” Of course, Neil Armstrong WAS the first man to walk on the moon, on July 20, 1969…nearly 7 years later. By the way, Neil Armstrong didn’t see this recording for himself until 2002.

It has a haunting beauty, which apparently was accompanied by these words:

“As long as you live,shine.
Let nothing grieve you beyond measure.
For life is short,and time will claim it’s tribute”

This was personal camcorder footage from someone who lived near the World Trade Center, and was only recently released to the public. There are very few edits…it’s mostly just a half hour of really high-quality footage of the events of that day, along with the unguarded comments of a few people who were walking it happening right in front of their eyes. Not for casual viewing.

Along with its sister-ship LZ 130 Graf Zeppelin II, it was the largest aircraft ever built. During its second year of service, it was destroyed by a fire while landing at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in Lakehurst, New Jersey, USA, on May 6, 1937. Thirty-six people died in the accident, which was widely reported by film, photographic, and radio media. Despite the violent fire, most of the crew and passengers survived. Of the 36 passengers and 61 crew, 13 passengers and 22 crew died. Also killed was one member of the ground crew, Navy Linesman Allen Hagaman. Most deaths were not caused directly by the fire but were from jumping from the burning ship. Those passengers who rode the ship on its descent to the ground survived. Some deaths of crew members occurred because they wanted to save people on board the ship. (from Wikipedia)

He had set up his camcorder on a tripod to catch the chaos surrounding the scene after the first plane hit. He has no idea that he would be in perfect position to catch the jet flying into the second tower (at about :24). It still shocks me to this day to watch the events surrounding the attacks.
