Any idea where this camera crew was located when they filmed this?
I was just looking at that, I'm not all familiar with all of lower manhattan, but ran across this PDF, read these entries: http://www.allisongilbert.com/pdfs/Covering_Catastrophe_Ch_1.pdf scroll to the bottom of page 10, Dick Oliver was reporting from near City Hall Park. It's got a bunch of newsmedia first hand accounts in this document.

Quote from document:

Dick Oliver, Reporter, WNYW-TV, New York
"I was near City Hall waiting to do a live shot on the mayoral primary. We were in commercial when we heard a wishhhhhh. I didn’t know what it was. Then we heard a crash, and I said to my cameraman, “What the hell was that?” Because the trees were in bloom, I couldn’t see a thing.

I ran down the block to Park Row, where the trees opened up, and I could see smoke pouring out of the World Trade Center. I started screaming to the control room producer, Beth McCauley, in my microphone: “Beth, Beth, Beth, come back to me, come back to me.” My cameraman had enough cable to bring the camera to my location. I kept yelling, “Come back to me, come back to me!” Finally, anchor Jim Ryan tossed to me live. I said there had been an explosion in the north tower of the World Trade Center. I said, “Wow, it looks like either something hit it or something exploded out of it.”
