Bob Pugh Interviewed

Isn't this the CIT interview? So what in the hell is a "Louder Than Words Production"?



6:43



At 5:03 video tape begins
At 5:44 the Father McGraw triage begins
At 5:55 through 6:10

"Moving behind the ambulance, I was able to get a good shot of the gentleman on the stretcher, that was being, who was pretty badly burned, that was being putting in the ambulance. He was asking the people around him to tell his family that, that he was OK."

4:45




At 1:51 through 2:41 "I saw the first helicopter land. it was to my, immediately to my right. It was the Park Police Eagle. He landed on the road itself, that was going up into the Arlington area. As I saw the actual pilots and crews start to motion, I turned to my right again and saw a severely burned patient on a gurney pass me. I couldn't even---I couldn't tell who he was, he was burned that badly. He had no shirt, and he was moving, moving his hands his hands---I'm thinking, even, maybe in shock, or what. One of the first, and I believe one of the only patients who was Medivaced that day that survived. And I do believe I have his name somewhere, it was Carlos, I believe, something. There were several articles written about him, about his recovery later on. About the time that I was filming him being loaded into the ambulance, I heard a crunch and looked back to my left

At 1:06 through 1:24, scene or five or so military men " thanking" Father McGraw, with this audio: "I noticed the clergy, who were beginning to show up, and I figured that that was something that would be valuable. I videotaped the gentleman from the churches and the different religions trying to figure out what they were going to do."




At 4:32 through 5:01 [video begins 4:40]
"There was a gentleman in a suit, and in looking at the video, it appears to be Middle-Eastern, probably an employee of the Pentagon, and was handling some of the wreckage---a small mechanical arm of some kind, it had a joint attached to it, indicating his idea that it may be part of a landing gear, and there was a discussion amongst some of the other uniformed military people that it was too small, but nevertheless it was a small piece of, obviously something mechanical."


5:01 through 5:44
"I moved away from there and began shooting the scene from, actually the north-east of the Pentagon itself, down the face that was on fire. And the firefighting that was going on. There is in my video, actually of a Battalion chief from Fort Meyer putting an air-bottle on his back. In discussions with him, he has indicated to me that he put that air bottle on five minutes after the impact, so that helps me with my timeline and thoughts. Im thinking I'd be better off moving toward the fire itself. No one was in control of the area, I had free range. I know better than to get in the way, so I try to stay away from any of the actual fire fighting or life saving."

At 5:44 through 5:56, we see the Faram/Father McGraw triage scene taking place, while Pugh narrates through 6:09
"I did photograph and videotape some of the medic units treating some of the injured, immediately, and as I moved forward. Moving behind the ambulances I was able to get a good shot of the gentleman on the stretcher, that was being, who was pretty badly burned, that was being putting in the ambulance. He was asking the people around him to tell his family that, that he was OK."

6:09 through 7:03
"As I moved further still, I was focusing on the impact site and the firefighting directly across from the fire engine and the control tower at the heliport. All the while I'm looking for...and again, seeing video tape and photographs and reading information about airplane crashes...I'm looking for wreckage and I don't see anything discernible, I cant find a piece of anything that I recognize. I can't see the tail. I can't see the wheels, there's no engines, there's no chairs, there's no luggage, there's no logo. I mean, for Air Florida, when we shot that, we could see the logo of the AirFlorida plane. And there was identifiable structure that you could see with that kind of an impact with an aircraft. I moved along, I did photograph a lot of the people began to organize themselves. There was some stretcher bearers, there was some backboard moving into some organized line. I believe they were attempting to go back into the building to do some rescue. This was before the collapse."

7:50 through 7:59 "I noticed the clergy, who were beginning to show up, and I figured that that was something that would be valuable. I videotaped the gentleman from the churches and from the different religions trying to figure out what they were going to do."

7:59 through 8:31 "The foam trucks were beginning to show up from National Airport. They were beginning to start their firefighting, after the dispatches came through that it was a plane. I'm sure they came because of the fuel. What I was seeing immediately was they were pouring water into a...into the actual firefighting itself, which I believe probably spread the fire deeper into the building. Just carried it further and further along. I don't know that for sure but it sounds logical to me. There was no foam, there was no actual fuel-fighting going on at that time."

8:32 through 9:16 "I saw the first helicopter land. it was to my, immediately to my right. It was the Park Police Eagle. He landed on the road itself, that was going up into the Arlington area. As I saw the actual pilots and crews start to motion, I turned to my right again and saw a severely burned patient on a gurney pass me. I couldn't even---I couldn't tell who he was, he was burned that badly. He had no shirt, and he was moving, moving his hands his hands---I'm thinking, even, maybe in shock, or what. One of the first, and I believe one of the only patients who was Medivaced that day that survived. And I do believe I have his name somewhere, it was Carlos, I believe, something. There were several articles written about him, about his recovery later on."

9:17 through 9:36
"About the time that I was filming him being loaded into the ambulance, I heard a crunch and looked back to my left, and the Pentagon, actually the floors were collapsing, right across from where I was standing. The video that I was able to get of that shows the debris and the smoke coming away from the building---that's being pushed away."

9:36 through 9:47
Craig: Now your video has the best shot of the hole---for video evidence. Best, hand's down. How big---now you were right up there---how big was the Pentagon hole? How big can it possibly be?

9:47 through 10:44 "I would say, I would say, if it was---16 feet diameter, 20 feet tops---again, I can't...that's what struck me so curious---I was trying to find something...there was no marks on the grass, it...something never hit the ground, it didn't hit the heliport. I mean, it was a precision...or awfully lucky hit I mean, I don't know how it didn't bounce. I don't know how it hit directly in the side of the building without touching the ground going as fast as it obviously was going, but I can't believe the thing is, is more than a garage door. The firefighters are standing in front of it [side talk] their looking up at it, and their just you know, wondering what's up behind it. Wondering where it went. Again, I'm looking at the classic airplane crash has wreckage." [End]
