Update: Two readers have written to say that this video is actually not new. It appears in the Nova documentary Why the Towers Fell, which is available on DVD. I've never seen this documentary, so I apologize for not realizing that the footage has been released. I should've known better than to take the word of NBC News and the FBI.

As reader NT pointed out, this leads to a very different disturbing question: How could the FBI and NBC News not have known that this footage already appeared in a documentary from PBS? Considering that they have virtually unlimited resources and that it's their job to know these things, how did both of them come to the conclusion that this is previously unseen footage? [15 Dec 2003]

>>> On 04 December 2003, NBC Nightly News broadcast an exclusive report on new videos that had been posted to an alleged al Qaeda Website. One of these tapes, supposedly made by the terrorist group, includes previously unseen footage of the 9/11 attacks. Specifically, it shows Flight 175 ramming into the South Tower of the World Trade Center. Regarding this footage, NBC News says only:

There’s a videotape aimed at American and Saudia Arabian rulers and another that includes what appears to be well-produced footage of the 9/11 attacks — raising still other questions....

The tape also contains what U.S. counterterror experts say may be never-before-broadcast video of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York’s World Trade Center shot from across the East River in Brooklyn. The FBI says it is familiar with the video, which was provided by a friendly bystander.

But that raises the question — how did a tape that was not widely circulated end up on a known al-Qaida site?
