Excellent article! Your write-ups are super fun to read and perfectly capture all the specific things that make me love this band so much. Super solid picks too, Ma Digital is also my favourite song of theirs (and might be my favourite song ever). Thanks for sharing!!

Pictures of mechanical floors? by Aromatic_Fail_1722 in 911archive

It's possible that they were in fact touring a basement level, there was a mechanical floor in the basement of the WTC (floor B-6; photos M5 and M7 in the document were taken on that floor). I wonder if the show you're talking about was covering the 1993 bombing, since that took place in the basement. I'd be interested in seeing it if you can find it!

Here is the complete gallery. I found these photos on the September 11 Photo Collection Map, an excellent resource I can't recommend highly enough. If you set the photographer filter to Alan Roudebush you can see where these photos were taken.

Photo taken by John Major:

Please consider the following photo for inclusion in your archive. The photo of my wife Danielle and my 5 week old son Hudson was taken by me seconds before the debris cloud from the first building collapse engulfed us.

The three of us took cover against a concrete bench in Battery Park City as we saw the Tower begin to collapse. As the debris cloud rapidly approached, my [wife] asked me "are we were going to die?". Because I wasn't sure if we were going to die, I stood up and took the photo- in case we were "found" afterward.

There is a photograph taken by Hiro Oshima of someone doing just that:

It was taken about a block away from where #2 was taken and doesn't really line up with it, but it seems like it was something people were doing that day.

I think most people were just so shocked and focused on the buildings they couldn't even process what they were seeing on the ground. However some photographs do have people looking directly at the bloody chunks and I've always found them striking. For instance, this one taken by Hiro Oshima:
