WASHINGTON, D.C. - Four months after Metro's deadliest accident, a new documentary has been released providing a first-hand look at what happened on that horrific day.

In the 12-minute piece, produced by D.C. Fire and EMS Department, first responders share their first-hand accounts from the June 22 crash.

Firefighter Bill Whetzey recalls what he saw when he arrived on the scene.

"To see a train up in the air like that it was a total shock," Whetzel says.

The video, shot by D.C. firefighter Vito Maggiolo, contains very personal and moving accounts from the rescuers.

"What can you say to a person when they say i'm gonna die? You just have to be there, that human side. Not just the professional side. It has to blend," said Althea Stiles, EMT Advance Medic.

"I was looking at our members physically picking people up and carrying them out on their hands," a firefighter said.

Due to privacy concerns, victims' faces are pixilated as the footage shows first responders rescuing victims and treating the wounded on the tracks .

"Just started going forward, climbing over benches, chairs to help anybody coming out," said Stanley tapper, firefighter rescue squad.

The video cost about $3,000 to produce and will be shown to community groups as part of training sessions. 

Many of the rescuers attended the memorial service for the victims killed in the crash.

The documentary ends with images and the names of the nine victims.
