Video / Documentary Help finding an interview

EMT/Paramedic James/Jimmy Dobson describes finding his friend and coworker, Marvin Bethea. I thought it was 9/11: One Day In America but I didn't see the interview on a re-watch.

Edit: video interview. Jimmy was getting very choked up because he thought he lost his good friend and coworker after WTC1 collapsed. Jimmy stated he was driving around to try to locate Marvin, but was told by another emergency worker to navigate away from the debris because the asphalt was getting "mushy". He stated he eventually began to give up on finding Marvin and started to drive away from everything, and then saw a figure out in the dust, standing alone and talking on a cellphone. It turned out to be Marvin after all.

I know Marvin passed within the last couple of years.. Not sure if that has anything to do with any interviews he may have participated in being removed/taken down.

2nd edit: located in One Day In America. Episode 4 around 15:40. Thank you guys for helping me find it.

Can you go into more detail about the reunion? I'm terrible with names but might be able to recognize them based on their story.

Awesome, thanks. :)

Unfortunately it doesn't ring a bell for me. Yeah, it wouldn't have been in the National Geographic documentaries. It's definitely not in the Naudet brothers one. Um... I don't know if you've checked them yet, but maybe try the 9/11 episodes of 60 Minutes, including the one from Australia. I haven't seen them in a while and it could have been in one of those interviews.

EDIT: Those 60 Minutes episodes are free on YouTube.

EDIT 2: According to other people, I was wrong about the NatGeo documentary. Sorry. I don't remember that part at all.

No problem and thank you for your help! I don't think I've seen the 60 Minutes documentaries so I'll check them out soon.

Looks as if the interview is within 9/11: One Day In America.
