In the time before smartphones we had to carry around these bulky, much less accessible, things called camcorders around with us when we were on vacation. So, in order to not feel like we were carrying it around for no reason, we recorded everything. Dads often built their whole vacation personalities around them. Some of the boomers have adapted to gopros in the same way.
I remember this. These are college kids in their dorm though. Another comment explained that this was after the first plane hit which make a lot more sense than saying "hey guys wanna get up and film ourselves drinking apple juice and vodka in the morning?"
Because they were woken up by the explosion of a plane hitting the Twin Towers, if you read the description of the video. Their casual manner is because at that time they thought it was just an accident, and didn't realize it was an attack or the extent of the damage
Why the hell were they filming
