WTC attacks from neighbouring building / Attaques du WTC vues d’un gratte-ciel voisin
From the 36th floor of a high rise building, 500 yards away from the north tower of the world trade center, Bob and Bri caught the incident on tape. They share it with us today. I believe it hadn’t been released to general public viewing until this year. The authors felt that the footage was rather personal in nature. However, they do feel now that for the sake of history, they had to publish it now, 5 years later. This is first hand account of what happened on that horrible day of September the 11th, 2001.
We witness the quick response from the authorities and also the collapse of the two towers. The collapse of the north tower is particularly impressive as the cloud of dust completely fills up the horizon and eventually reaches their appartment.
Of some interest to Quebecers, we can also catch a glimpse of the www.quebecnewyork.com sign, from the exhibition that was supposed to take place in the following week.
Very touching.
Update: The server has been overloaded with queries since Dominic Arpin, TVA television journalist and blogger featured this link on his blog. I received in a day traffic I usually get in 2 weeks (!). Hoping the site won’t go down again (crossing fingers). Thanks Dom!
Also, to new incoming readers, enjoy your stay on this blog and live the BREM experience.
brem, still speechless.
Du 36ème étage d’un édifice, à 500 verges de distance de la tour nord du world trade center, Bob et Bri ont capté l’incident sur vidéo. Ils partagent maintenant avec nous ces images. Je crois que ce vidéo n’avait pas été diffusé avant cette année. Les auteurs avaient le sentiment que le contenu de ce vidéo était de nature trop personnel pour être publié. Cependant, ils ont maintenant la conviction que pour le bien de l’histoire, ils devaient le publier maintenant, 5 ans plus tard. C’est un témoignage de ce qui est arrivé par des gens qui étaient présent lors de cette horrible journée du 11ème jour de septembre, 2001.
On assiste à la fébrilité de la réponse des autorités et à l’effondrement des deux tours. L’effondrement de la tour nord est particulièrement impressionnante car le nuage de poussière envahit complètement l’horizon et rejoint leur appartement.
Avis aux québécois, on voit aussi la banderolle www.quebecnewyork.com.
Très touchant.
brem, encore sans voix.

Update: Le serveur a été surchargé de requêtes depuis que le journaliste et blogueur Dominic Arpin, du réseau TVA a fait référence à ce lien sur son blogue. J’ai reçu de l’achalandage en une journée comme j’en reçois d’habitude en 2 semaines (!). En espérant que le site restera en-ligne (croisons nous les doigts). Merci Dom!
Aussi, aux nouveaux lecteurs de ce blogue, faites comme chez vous et profitez de l’occasion pour vivre la BREM experience.
brem, encore sans voix.

janvier 3rd, 2007 à 12:21 am[…] Wednesday, January 3, 2007 at 12:16 am Since these days nobody is reading blogs because they’re in their families, or somewhere else than in front of their computer, I thought it was appropriate to write a boring article now about my blog’s statistics and to take this opportunity to thank people who helped making it successful. First, here’s the summary of the year 2006 Unique visitors: 166, 275 Visits: 252, 581 Bandwidth usage: 71.06 Gbytes (!!!) Since this blog is online, 650 articles have been published and 1590 comments have been received. By the way, Akismet successfully blocked more than 27, 000 spam comments. Really impressive. I went back and read what I was saying about this blog at the end of the year 2005, back when I had only been blogging for 6 months, and we can see the evolution of the figures.In retrospect, I posted 195 articles (including this one) and bloggers commented on them 221 times. From the few tens of people that came visiting BREM experience in July 2005, the community has grown to more than 3400 different visitors per month from 45 different countries in December, an average of 140 per day. That’s awesome. - blog entry for happy year 2006As of December 31 2006, I had about 1000 visitors a day, thus about 18, 000 unique visiitors monthly. That’s an improvement by almost a factor 7! To further illustrate the progression, I prepared a graph. The data covers the whole life of this blog, from mid-2004 to better show the evolution. Blog traffic 2005-2006On the chart, to the right (click on the image to see it bigger), we can see the rather linear progression during the year 2005 up until about the mid-2006, then a huge peak at more than 37, 500 unique visitors in September. That’s because I then got arpined. The arpinage is when a blogger with a blog with a lot more traffic than yours places a link on his blog, thus creating a wave of new visitors that will submerge the server of the less popular blogger. Oh, and that blogger’s name must be Dominic Arpin. Indeed, it’s around September 11 that an exclusive video about the destruction of the World Trade Center towers were placed on the Internet. I was one of the first to find it, and Dominic Arpin placed a link to it on his blog. The overload made my Web server go blank, but after a few adjustments, it went back to normal. Weird coincidence, the day after, Kimveer Gill took his own life after murdering Anastasia De Sousa. I had learned about the Dawson College shooting on Dominic Arpin’s blog, but as it often is when such an event occurs, the information is slow paced. I had then taken upon myself to gather many information elements , like videos, images, radio interviews, articles about the topic in an article on my blog. Since I was getting a traffic boost from my arpinage, this article was very successful. This event had then shaken the Quebec population. I had thus written [one], [two], [three] articles on the topic. To stay in the bad news of the year, I had to say goodbye to my two beloved bunny rabbits, Marvin and Bowser, who both passed away in less than a month interval. They were my first pets and I was really saddened by their passing. I did not talk a lot about rabbits recently, but I have a few surprises up my sleeve for 2007. Now, I just have to use the acquired experience from 2006 to do better in 2007. About that, I guess I should have a goal to reach. Using the above data, I thus will have a goal of 5, 000 unique visitors per day in January 2008, which translates to about 100, 000 unique visitors monthly. Quite the contract! Realistic? Probably not! . To (try) to reach this goal, I will keep on providing quality content (ahem), my political opinions, funny videos, comments about current events, the geekitude, blogs, movies, tv series. Oh, and next summer, we will for sure have to do landscaping work, so be prepared for landscaping picture and tips for the house! I would also like to make more short videos. Reveal my personality a little bit more. So to all those who come read me regularly, those who link to my blog, I say a big thank you! Your names are for sure on my blog list, on the right. Happy 2007 again! brem tags: bilan, rétrospective, summary, 2006, 2007, statistiques, statistics, blog, blogue, blogs, blogues Related posts: […]
