Jeff Scarborough was the only cameraman on duty at
WNBC's newsroom in New York when the attacks of 9/11 began.
Armed with privileged information from the '93 attack on the
World Trade Center-realizing both towers were doomed-Jeff
pulled out of an emergency convoy just short of the WTC as
he and reporter Rob Morrison approached the burning towers.
Taking charge at the scene, Jeff ordered live-truck engineer
Eddie Alonzo to stay 500 feet away and told all responding
crews to back-off-dangerously becoming NBC's sole cameraman
broadcasting live from Ground Zero. He permitted only the
live-shot reporter to join him at his camera position-and
during their live broadcast, the South Tower collapsed. They
ran for their lives; Jeff rescued Eddie and stayed to
videotape the panic and the North Tower collapse.
September's Camera is the story of that fateful day,
and of a career lived on the edge of danger-as Jeff's lens
captured conflict, urban riots, blackouts, serial killers,
plane crashes and human frailty in all its forms.
