September 10, 2007: First on the scene at ground zero, one videographer talks about his experiences on 9/11.
We honor fallen videographers who risked their lives to get
the shot.
News videographers are the eyes and ears of the modern world. Through their efforts, anyone with a television set may see and hear images from wars, riots, natural disasters, and other major news stories--often as these events are unfolding.
Although satellites easily bounce microwave information from war zones to our living rooms, these images don't come as easily to the camera and sound operators in the field. At best, their job is demanding, at worst, it's dangerous. Sometimes it may even be tragic, as those covering a news event fall among its victims..
This week's show covers one person's account of keeping it professional during the most horrific event in U.S. history.
