Early 90's World Trade Center Observation Deck

- A video my dad shot in the early 90's on our trip to New York City. Our visit to the observation deck of the World Trade Center. You can hear interference caused by all the radio and TV antennas.

I grew up with the Twin Towers during my childhood. I went on the roof of the South Tower back in 1994. I was 14 years old when they were destroyed back in 2001. I miss the Twin Towers everyday. #NeverForget911
Thanks for sharing.

Looks to be from around 1987. The building at the beginning (7 World Trade) appears to be wrapping up with construction.
I agree, everything about this video screams 80's.
It seems to fit with the 90s thing better. At 8:30 you can see that the World Financial Center underwent the copper oxidation effect. The roofs are made of copper and they're green.
There is good amount of RF up there right next to the antenna. Look closely and you see the camcorder picking up a TV signal....and lots of static on the sound. Since it changes with the movement of the camcorder, I don´t think it is from converting the video to VHS.
Thank you so much for showing the world this video. I am from Australia, and didn't visit New York prior to 9-11 2001, and still haven't. Thank you, Jared, for the opportunity to visit and experience the view. The video is both poignant and interesting.
The funny thing about why so many people keep staring at the twin towers ever since they were build is knowing how big they were! And too much of a show off to the world lol
Such a beautiful and nostalgia vid. Thx for posting. Must be nice to see ur parents & urself so young! Dads are the best!
Man, i really wish I could have seen the place in it's hayday. I was born six years after the incident, but i hear that there was a mall and a train underneath the building? that's insanely cool

You're probably right. The slow horizontal scan might be there because of the NTSC signals matching up in some ways, but that's just a guess.
That definitely looks like RF interference and sounds like a video carrier.

can you imagine just visiting and being on the observation deck when the hit happened?
It was closed when the planes hit, but yeah, that wouldn't be good... More lives would be lost.

1:00 breaks my heart knowing that people had no choice but to jump from that sort of height :'(
The jumpers faced the most difficult choice. 200 jumpers were buried under the rubble and were not identified.

Sorry for this comment being two years late. But they were the most beautiful buildings ever. They were bigger in person. Saw them a year before. I had just turned 15 two days before.

I have a question. If the Twin Towers were still standing today, would the observation deck platform on the South Tower's roof eventually had been closed down?
The observation deck platform on the South Tower's roof was only about 300 feet away from the North Tower's antenna. They did not allow visitors to the top of the North Tower because of the antenna there. The thought was they would get too much RF expose if they were that close for too long. If you're in close enough proximity for a certain length of time to that high of wattage of TV/radio signals, it can cause health problems.
Apparently, the South Tower was far enough away to safely allow visitors, hence the observation deck there.
Back in the 1970s, it was deemed safe to stand on the roof of 2 WTC, but in many videos, you can clearly hear and watch the radio interference. If you look at some videos taken on the observation, you can still hear analogue TV interference in their audio.
If the twin towers were built today, I don't believe that they would surely allow anyone on the roof of the South Tower because of those interferences.

I wasn't even alive when the Twin Towers were in Lower Manhattan. I was born 3 ½ years after they were destroyed
late 80s surely
