The agency obtains footage from their own camera crews , arrangements with local TV broadcasters to redistribute their material , material shot by freelancers who sell their footage to the agencies , and on rare occasions footage shot by the public ( such as the famous footage of the 2000 crash of an Air France Concorde outside Paris and the hijacked Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 , which ditched off the Comoro Islands in 1996 ) Footage shot with broadcast-quality cameras is preferred , but quality can sometimes come second to content or immediacy for an exclusive story
