Description: Enhanced extended version of Steve Spak's 8mm footage taken from "NIST DV #4" tape. Shows some rare WTC7 burning shots taken from southwest (at West & Vesey Streets) and later from northeast (West Broadway near Barclay Street) at 30:30. This video contains more footage, but includes also some shots which are missing within the shorter 1st version. Link to the non-enhanced extended version: youtu.be/22cHu4h-7Nw Link to non-enhanced short version: youtu.be/VWPjoI-AgWA Link to audiovisually enhanced short version: youtu.be/op4UnMoB3aE A higher-quality and full-length copy (TRT = 53 min) of the 8mm tape, directly obtained by NIST from Steve Spak, was withheld by the agency from FOIA disclosure at the request of Mr. Spak based on FOIA Exemption 4, likewise Spak's another raw footage shot by his DV camcorder (TRT = 32 min) and all of his still photographs submitted to NIST. See Spak's letter to NIST: drive.google.com/file/d/1WtQtASq32yixUZvIO29n_EZzJ0t8jYOu/view?usp=sharing The video tape "NIST DV #4" was originally copied by NIST on to a mini-DV cassette from the FEMA BPAT's "NBC Restricted Tape #2" on VHS at the offices of Gilsanz-Murray-Steficek, LLP, structural engineers who have participated both in FEMA and NIST WTC investigations. Enhanced video quality taken from DVD Video, created from the mini-DV tape by NIST for FOIA release. Thick black border at the top of the video removed and video frame re-centered. Like many full-length videos released by NIST, the entire video tape is lacking of the audiotrack on the right channel. The video has been only deinterlaced and anaphormically corrected from 3:2 DAR (720 x 480 px) to 4:3 DAR (640 x 480 px), and was recompressed into a lossless video/audio encoder before upload on YouTube. DAR = Display Aspect Ratio. Source of DVD Video: 911datasets.org, Folder: International_Center_for_911_Studies_NIST_FOIA [a.k.a.
