Not quite Ed. A French camera crew was in the area
(filming a documentary on NYC firefighters, apparently) and
just happened to look up and caught the first plane going
into the North Tower (even at that speed the plane was
subsonic and would presumably have been clearly audible,
some time before the incident; it was unusual enough in
itself that a low-flying plane was buzzing them, even
had it not been obvious that it would hit something --
had it not been interesting film the editors would have
edited it out but as it happened, well...).

Of course far many more camera crews caught the South Tower
as they filmed the North Tower burning, and I'll bet almost
everyone saw some footage of the eventual collapse.

One has to at least count the French crew. Presumably,
there were a fair number of passers-by nearby that might
have seen it too, but I only need the camera crew to
dispute your claim that "no one saw the first plane go in".

However, at the time it was thought by many of the news
media (and, apparently, by President Bush) to be a horrific
accident; the truth didn't come out until sometime later,
presumably about the time Flight 175 crashed into South.

It was a horrible day.

It's still legal to go .sigless.

I assume that the french filmmaker is the "Naudet" that Ed's referring
to in the headline.

The documentary was basically "A day in the life of a new recruit
firefighter". They were measuring the gases coming from a storm sewer
vent when the plane flew over them on its way to the WTC.
