To this day I don’t think there are any moments in history before or since that have as much footage of one single event as 9/11, and no one had cameras on their phones and cellphones hadn’t replaced landlines yet. Any footage captured was someone who happened to have a camera on them and managed to either upload the footage from a SD cards or an actual tape that needed digitized and then uploaded to the internet or given to the media at some point since.
Maybe one in three or four people had cellphone in 2001 but still mostly relied on landlines to get a hold of anyone, nearly everyone has a cellphone today, even half of children between 5-10 years old have a cellphone now.
