That place was like an entire city, I used to marvel at how many people would pass through there every day, this included the underground thoroughfare that linked the Path and Subways, also had a lot of shops. I used to work a few blocks away.
they probably were full of people waiting for the train, i never was at that hub of the subway because i came to nyc on 2007 so i could not imagine how it was, was it big like central station?
As a New Yorker, who lived through 9/11, these images bring back a lot of memories of visiting the WTC as a child and watching them fall as a man. I'll never forget that day! #SIP to the victims.
The pic at 6:47 is sooo eerie. On that actual day before the attacks unfolded nobody even thought twice about what day it was, or likely even cared. It was just an early day in the work week. It reminds me of the clip of times square covering the news while it was going on. The bottom of the screen is reading Tuesday September 11 2001 and watching it back, you just think "Oh shit, todays the day where its all going down"
guy walking with suitcase: How scary it wouldve been to even be near that second building. Assuming that the second one to get hit fell first, you'd have to assume that the north could fall at any moment as you stood so close. Without much warning and suddenly like the first. Whoever stayed in the area after that first had balls of steel.
I wonder if that person lived or died? Imagine being that person's wife and seeing a photo like this and then realizing your loved one died because they were too stupid to get the hell out of there.
@@rufuspipemos He exactly matches the description of a man that a reporter tried to interview after the S tower collapse - he was caked in dust and said something to the effect of "please leave me alone, I've had a rough day". I read a LOOOOONG time ago that he's someone that escaped the S tower impact zone after getting left behind by somebody else he was with but it's been a while so take it with a grain of salt.
Finally going back after 20+ years to process what I saw and deal with it… so I’ve be watching a bunch of your videos as part of my research. One thing that is blowin my mind is just… the scale… of the towers. I can’t believe they could be destroyed. Like, I can’t believe the top didn’t shear off at worst… but the whole damn thing, TWICE? Unbelievable. I imagine they are probably the largest structures to have ever been destroyed. Regarding the empty lots / beach that used to be near the towers… I wish they had always kept it like that. The contrast was amazing. There’s a famous photo of the late Stevie Ray Vaughan sitting near them on that beach, playing guitar. Now he and the towers are gone.
If they had gotten up there (lets say elevators still worked or one) and got that fire under control before the north tower fell; there is no way it would be salvaged. The damage and destruction from the South Tower and it would be a nightmare. Nobody would ever want to walk back into that building.
On the 10th they experienced very cloudy skies that morning. That evening they experience the last sunset. That night they experienced the last storm...maybe the last bolt of lightning to strike the antenna. The next day, perfectly clear skies. It's almost as if the Earth, mother nature, whatever you wanna call it was saying goodbye to them in it's own special way.
One WTC lobby windows were blown out from first plane strike. The french guy, who rode to WTC with Lt Pfifer, video clearly shows the windows out when setting up command center in One WTC, with firefighters walking through some of them.
4:36 this is actually morning because judging by the position of every building the camera located in New Jersey and is facing east across the Hudson River towards New York
After the collapse of the south tower, was anyone still alive in the north tower above the impact point? I can't imagine how awful those phone conversations would have been with loved ones or 911 operators.
Look up Kevin Cosgrove's last call from The South Tower. Makes you appreciate life way more after hearing this man's last words just as the building falls on him!
*Because he couldn't access the stairway, let alone even knew where it was located, amongst the smoke and wreckage of the impact zone. I was in 7th grade when 9/11 happened. The more you know.*
2:05 - That man, I am positive, is also in notable news coverage of the collapse - the dust cloud just begins to settle and the reporter goes up and asks him (iirc) if he worked in the WTC and he says "please, I've had a bad day" - what I've read is that he is also one of the same individuals that escaped from the South tower impact zone. My memory is hazy, but iirc he was trapped in his office, and somebody else heard his shouts, they came to his rescue but afterward were so eager to leave that they left him behind - which is why he was so fed up and out of breath in the later video of him at street level. His name is known, just not to me atm.
I miss the Twin Towers, they looked so good in the New York skyline, the Freedom Tower is a nice building too, but it just doesn't give as much of a dramatic look as the Twin Towers did. RIP to all the people who lost their lives on 9/11 🙏. Great video.
Exactly. Every major city has like, "that ONE big building" that dwarfs the rest. We had two, and then the Empire State, then the rest. The skyline pre-9/11 is still how I remember it. I moved in 2003 - I stood in the footprint of one of the towers the day after the last bit of debris was removed courtesy of some family members in the NYPD who let me through. They were just two big concrete boxes sunk into the earth when I was there. I remember the wind picking up bits of particulate, bouncing off the walls, and creating little whirlwinds. I would spend the rest of the year with some pretty gnarly breathing problems, a week in the ICU with a collapsed lung. Developed a nervous tick. It was time to leave but that's how the city still looks in my mind.
Can you discuss about the "9/11 Surfer"? My friend told me about it but I cannot find much information about this miraculous story, though it sounds too unreal for someone to survive the collapse from above.
Great content. Thanks for sharing. This picture on 3:10 looks fake.. only 1 spandrel on the ground with a tire, so wtc 2 is down, but absolutely no dust. And strange building from Manhattan behind !
5:40 they're literally not fake office plants. you've clearly never owned indoor plants because there's more than enough natural light in that lobby to keep alive most species.
Not sure how compelling it would be but it would be interesting to find out what would’ve happened if it had been cloudy or even raining on September 11th.
They were Ficus trees....very popular tree in buildings at the time. Low maintenance. He keeps saying they were fake only cause thats how they looked...but NOT
That looks about right, actually. The tires need to be compact enough to retract into the fuselage and the landing gear would be some of the most likely components to be jettisoned. If it's not a plane tire, then what is it?
DG, idk what's your real name, but I notice you sound much more depressed now, than you did in your videos from 6 months ago. I hope it gets better for you
The irony here is that the "Islamic/gothic" windows (not trident) The arches at the base and the top of the tower were of islamic influence. Love your content!!!

@@PowPoohUh, no…are you serious? That’s absurd. It’s a totally different thing entirely to want to watch snuff films of bodies dropping to the ground.

I agree with you that it is a piece of history and should remain but too many victims still living. Too many children and families out there who dont even know how there family met their end that day. And realize too that anyone old enough to remember that day and lived through it.. Is a victim in their own right. It was an event that literally scarred the soul of the Earth. If there was ever a fitting definition of "Too soon", it is the LOL superman video, and others. The memorial and FBI have many more just like it im sure.
I can't watch the videos of the planes crashing into the Twin Towers. Not even now. So depressing. I wonder if our government didn't get some kind of warning that they might have ignored. It does make me wonder.

Thx for all the twin towers videos it helps me
The marble at 6:12 gives a Vaporwave touch to the picture. And around 4:08, it reminds me of the Titanic debris kind of picture
2:07 that’s the guy in the video that said “I’m 68 years old but I can still run”
Crazy how the shoreline keeps being extended in NYC.
Video Idea: Would it have been possible for someone to escape the World Trade Centers by running through the PATH tunnel to New Jersey?
I thought it was confirmed that some did actually do that?
The guy with the suitcase in that photo was caught on video by a reporter saying "thank God I'm 69 years old but I can still run 🤷♂️😀"
Sure Looks like him....he was covered in ashes
If he is still living, he would be 91.
He said "Thank God I'm 68 yo, but I can still run."

100% many people still alive at that time in the north up to collapse

@@Ts3cooperother than those who were above the North Tower impact zone, of course, everyone else were scrambling for cover
@@JoseMorales-lw5nt I wonder why Kevin cosgrove didn’t escape, considering there was one stairwell still intact in the south tower.

2:34 this is so haunting. Seeing the towers on the last day that they stood. You can see how clear that morning was.
funny how windows on the bottom floor were blown out, when the actual impact was 80+ floors above...
Those were the windows of the north tower after the south tower collapsed.
It's so sad! The way they were destroyed and all the innocent lives lost.
September 10, 2001 was a drizzly day with thunderstorms and lightning and it wasn’t clear until like 6 am on 9/11

The Towers were silver the siding dulled in the 80's
3:44 This doesn't look like it was from 2001 🤨
If wind was was blowing northwest instead of southeast the tower that collapsed first dust might’ve smoldered the fire in the second tower
Did the dust cloud get that high in large enough quantity to snuff the fire?
@@fuzzydunlop7928 It was massive from what remember
The second tower looked like fire was out
