[edit] Summary

http://www.necrat.com/NYCTV.html

A screen shot of the frozen picture as seen on the WPIX Satellite feed. It is my understanding that the satellite feed was microwave-relayed from the World Trade Center. It appears as if this shot was frozen by the Satellite Uplink's equipment upon loss of signal. If you look very carefully, you can see the shot was frozen not long after the second plane hit the #2 tower. The transmitting mast in the first tower was the primary broadcast facility for: WCBS 02, WNBC 04, WNYW 05, WABC 07, WWOR 09, WPIX 11, WNET 13, WPXN 31, WNJU 47, WKCR 89.9, WPAT 93.1, WNYC 93.9, and WKTU 103.5.

Six broadcast transmitter engineers perished in the attacks: Steven Jacobson (N2SJ) (WPIX), Bob Pattison (WCBS), Isasis Rivera (WCBS), William Steckman (WA2ACW)(WNBC), Don DiFranco (WABC), Gerrard "Rod" Coppola (KA2KET)(WNET).

I received several emails about the use of this picture, and I have no problems with the reproduction of this picture. I don't mind the picture being used, it is not my intellectual property to begin with, and I think it serves a special purpose. I believe it is the only known copy of this screen shot on the internet. I did receive email permission back in 2002 to use this picture on my website for the tribute. ~Mike Fitzpatrick, NECRAT Webmaster
