The following 17-minute YouTube video is an edited mashup of television coverage from September 11th, 2001, much coming from a Japanese Television station, KTF.
A portion consists of KTF's rebroadcasting of BBC News reports on "Palestinians celebrating" in East Jerusalem. BBC anchorman Philip Hayton in the studio in London interviews BBC correspondent Frank Gardner on the telephone in Cairo. A different BBC correspondent, James Robbins then narrates the famous footage. Robbins' segment aired at 1:51 p.m. EDT, but the same footage had run earlier without narration, at 11:22 a.m., during an unrelated interview with Steven Simon, of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, when the BBC anchor interrupts their conversation to remark offhand, "Here we're seeing Palestinian celebrations somewhere in the Middle East. A degree of joy."
After a diligent search, I cannot find the 22-second Hayton-Gardner telephone exchange anywhere else in the collections of archived BBC coverage. The window for its airing is small. The chyron says that both World Trade towers had already collapsed, so it would have been after the second tower's collapse at 10:28 a.m., but it surely would have preceded the 11:22 a.m. airing of the footage as a stunning non-sequitur.
This is followed by Hayton interviewing Abdul Bari Atwan, the editor of London's Arab daily Al Quds, in the studio.
People react to WTC fall - Palestinians celebrate - 9/11 truthers confronted,
by kounterfeet, 16:58
A Japanese TV crew records the reaction of New Yorkers as they witness the collapse of the Twin Towers on 9/11. The BBC broadcasts footage of celebrating Palestinians and then interviews an Arabic newspaper editor who predicts Osama bin laden connection. US TV anchor man takes on 9/11 conspiracy theorists.________________________________________________________________________________
at 2:30 of 16:57
Anchorman Philip Hayton: Well, let's try and gauge Arab reaction now. We're joined on the line now by our correspondent Frank Gardner in Cairo. What is the official and unofficial reaction---how are people reacting in the street, Frank?
2:41
[Switches to a "News Update" chyron with Frank Gardner's image as he reports live over the phone.]
Frank Gardner: Well, they're very different, Phillip. Um, it may come as a shock but on the street---certainly in the Palestinian refugee camps all across the Middle East---there's been jubilation, chanting, cheering, celebratory gunfire, people have been handing out sweets...they're ecstatically happy...they're saying. "Now at last America is having a taste of the same sort of suffering that we the Palestinians have had."
3:03
[Switch to the later airing of footage of men clapping wildly inside a truck as they try to drive through the crowd of children celebrating in the street in East Jerusalem.]
3:06
James Robbins: In the Arab quarter of Jerusalem they're celebrating the massacre and mayhem in the United States, What's a disaster in much of the world is seen as a triumph by some, It's evidence of how much hatred has already been refueled by this disaster. Now American intelligence, which missed stopping the attacks, will desperately be searching for the culprits. To find who's behind it, they first asked how was it done.

Length: 0:41:41
Announced at 10:39 a.m., this puts a time stamp of 10:29 a.m. on when reports of Palestinian celebrations "emerged." This is one minute after the timing of the second tower's collapse.
We have been receiving reports in the last ten minutes or so, of celebrations taking place in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, and also of impromptu celebrations taking place on the West Bank
3:35
[Back to London newsroom.]Anchorman: Joining me now is Abdul Bari Atwan, the editor of London's Arab daily Al Quds. Welcome, help us make some sense of this then. Are you convinced then, this attack--these attacks--today have a Middle East connection?
3:51
Abdul Bari Atwan: I'm not surprised if there is a Middle East connection. Until now we don't have any proof. We are waiting for the American investigation to tell us who was behind it, but, you know that the American feeling in the Middle East is extremely high and the American feeling in the Islamic world also is extremely high. People are really dissatisfied with the American foreign policies. They can see the Americans siding with Israel. Now Israel is launching a war against the Palestinians. So there is a connection between Israel and the United States. So there's also groups, Islamic fundamentalist groups, always indicated that America is their arch enemy, and they are going to hate, and also we we witnessed some attacks, recently, a year ago, when Abud[?] attacked the American destroyer in Aden, the seaport of Aden in Yemen, so...maybe and bin Laden also declared a war against the United States, and he issued a fatwa--and Islamic ruling, to attack America, because they are the enemy of the Muslim world.
4:48
Anchorman: Many Americans will be disturbed to see Arabs dancing in the streets for joy today when they heard news of these attacks. How do you explain that and to what extent is that representative?
5:00
Abdul Bari Atwan: You know, everybody, actually, is appalled by this. It is a tragic...I don't think any Arabs...you know, sensible Arabs, would support attacks against civilians. You know, we are human being, we understand, you know, that those people who are suffering are human American, but you know, those people who dance, that they are minority. How many of them? A thousand? You know, you have, you have, you know, that 250 million Arabs in the...a thousand don't represent, or you know, that all those Arabs all over the world, so we shouldn't exaggerate here, we shouldn't take this as a representation of the Arab feeling. No, we condemn these attacks. It is a terrorist attack, innocent people are suffering. And we have also to remember that also the Arabs are under under attacks and they are facing similar policies but not with these devastating....
5:47
Anchorman: How---just let me assess---how hard was the evidence you had something like this was going to happen? And why don't you think American intelligence was on to it?
5:55
Abdul Bari Atwan: Well actually you know the American intelligence were aware of these attacks, you know, but they expected to take place in, in....outside United States. American embassies were closed in the Gulf states simply because there were threats. American embassies in Africa where closed because, you know, there was a lot of warning, you know, warning, that they will be attacked. So the intelligence, American intelligence service were aware of these attacks, But I think they miscalculated, they thought it will take place in the Middle East or in Africa or on the third world. They didn't believe that this thing will happen, and the heart of the American economy, at the heart of American financial capital, New York, and also it will attack the Pentagon was supposed to be very very secure.
6:33
Anchorman: How do you think the Americans are going to react now? In judging on past form, they sent cruise missiles, didn't they, into Afghanistan. They hit a factory in Sudan, which later turned out to have no involvement in the attacks
6:46
Abdul Bari Atwan: Philip, I feel about any American reprisal, I think it would be foolish and useless, because they sent their missiles to hit the Taliban...they sent 75 missiles--that was about three years ago--hit Afghanistan, but they didn't kill bin Laden, and it didn't prevent such attacks. The minute that destroyer Cole was attacked in Aden, I believe it should be--we expected it to be a civilized, ah, ah, you know--reaction. When I say 'civilized reaction,' they should ask themselves: 'why the American embassies, and American people are attacked all over the world?'
Earlier on in this video, at 1:40, Zbigniew Brzeinski, Former US National Security Advisor, is interviewed on Japanese television:
...because this will require some effort and this will require very serious action. It will involve undertakings which involve the use of force internationally, and it's going to be a challenge to all of us to exercise self-restraint and therefore this in a way, is a test of the international system in the 21st century.
