After realising that the plane crashes into the World Trade Centre were “no ordinary accident”, Sugimoto decided to start documenting the events of 9/11.
He added: “If I remember correctly, I think after I saw the second plane crash and realised this was no ordinary accident, I ran out to get my video camera.”
In the video’s YouTube comments section, Sugimoto was asked why he uploaded the 9/11 footage more than 20 years after the catastrophe that changed the world forever.
“I was cleaning out my closet and found a box full of Hi-8, Digital-8 and DV tapes,” Sugimoto replied.
“When I tried to play them, I discovered that maybe a third of them had become demagnetized over time and either had no recordings or were severely corrupted,” he continued. “After researching online, I learned that videotapes, even when stored in ideal conditions, are subject to degradation over time, so I quickly got to work digitizing them.”
Sugimoto concluded by saying, “That’s why I’m uploading the video now.”
