As someone who has worked in surveillance at a place with double redundancy for over a decade, their statement that that was the only camera footage they had is complete BS. Double redundancy means no matter where you are on the property there's at least two different cameras covering that location.
The Pentagon, being a much more secure building would have at least double but probably triple or higher redundancy. Also the quality of the cameras they would have been using is much better than what they showed the public.
Even worse is when they confiscated the surveillance footage from the store or gas station across the street that had a perfect angle.
They also confiscated the traffic cam footage overlooking the freeway which was on the flight path. Other places also got a visit from the FBI which had outside security cameras of any quality that covered that flight path as well.

I wish just one store would have kept a copy of the footage and released it.

They did not have time to think about that. This plan was executed very efficiently.

It's a shame none of the businesses were big enough to also have redundant off-site storage that they could have "forgotten" to mention.

2001, that kind of shit was really expensive.
