Along the same lines, what ever happened to Mike Rappoport?

I was wondering the same. Maybe he's too busy building the Murphy Moose?

He's a Russian emigre systems programmer who was flying by the WTC
with his camera on 9/11: http://www.maxho.com/wtc/

As I'm flying closer, almost opposite the WTC, right next to the
Harborside Center in Jersey City, I see this airliner coming down
in a steep bank, my first thought was, WTF is this guy doing!???
Why is he diving so steep to take a look at the fire! And it's an
airliner! (looked like a 737 to me at the time). I muttered
something along the lines "Jeez, this guy is gonna get so fired by
his airline, it's not even funny!" The next moment.... it hits the
building.... I felt like I was inside a cartoon or a movie, maybe
that "Independence Day" flick, at the moment I thought I was
seeing things, like this can't be, this isn't real... But I had my
camera in hand and snapped virtually a split second later after
the impact, I was simply too awestruck when I saw the plane, so it
didn't click in me to actually shoot the thing (but if I had a
Stinger SAM with me, damn, I wish I did and I would)
