"Boy, that was close," a voice said in the dark. An ensuing wave of smoke and dust engulfed LaGanga's lens, and the screen turned to black. "That's why I panned up."Īs the building fell in on itself, people sprinted down the street, panicked. ![]() "It sounded like a jet flying over," he said in 2018.
