In a remarkable turn of events, nearly one hour of previously unseen footage of the World Trade Center collapse on September 11, 2001, has been released, offering a fresh perspective on the tragic day that altered American history forever. The video, which captures the harrowing moments following the terrorist attacks, was recently uploaded to YouTube by Kei Sugimoto, a Japanese-American who was 24 years old at the time of the attacks.
Kei Sugimoto, a former Mainframe Operator at Nissho Iwai Shoji, stumbled upon the footage while cleaning his closet. The tapes, recorded using a Sony VX2000 with a teleconverter, had been stored away for over two decades. “I was cleaning my closet and found boxes full of Hi-8, Digital-8, and DV tapes,” Sugimoto explained. “When trying to play them back, I noticed that maybe about a third of them had demagnetized over time and were either blank or suffering from major data corruption. After researching online, I learned that video tapes are not immune from age even when stored in ideal conditions, so I frantically started to digitize them. Thus, I’m just uploading the video now.”

On July 22, Sugimoto shared a six-minute segment of the footage on his YouTube channel, marking the first public release of the video. In the description, he wrote: “Footage I filmed of the World Trade Center Collapsing on 9/11/2001. Filmed from the roof of 64 St Marks Place in NYC on a Sony VX2000 with teleconverter. Upscaled to 4K 60p using Topaz Video AI.
