Haunting footage of 9/11 captured by NYPD helicopter as towers fell

I apologize if this has been posted elsewhere, but I caught this on the Daily Mail website today (linked from Drudge.)

I've always wondered where the footage was from the chopper that was circling the towers as they burned. The helicopter was clearly visible that day and I'm sure there was a camera running. This was the first time I saw the roof of one of the towers on that day. I was surprised that it appeared there were no people on the roof, but I guess that is a testament to how intense the fire (and probably the shock of the situation) was.

The article refers to a site that hosted this video and has additional photos of the towers from angles that they claim to have not been released before:

...it has been posted on-line by secret-sharing website Cryptome along with a series of pictures taken by NYPD helicopters that were on duty that day.

I haven't visited the site listed, but I would like to see the photos.

Crap. OK, thanks. I couldn't imagine that I was the first. I just did a piss-poor search, I guess.

Man! That's some of the most haunting video I've seen yet.

The thing is for people like me who have not seen the other threads this is the 1st one I'd look at, as long as from now on, it isn't spammed for the next few days lol, like the NASA scientist finding life on an asteroid.

check 10:05...explosion beneath the fire line.
