    I like your shows, my thanks. But I will have to ask the question after the first half of this -- what is inside? Much outside, the building they are on, who built it, and what the spire looks like. What's inside?

    • @Infernal_Elf
      @Infernal_Elf 10 месяцев назад

      My thought too. hard to find pictures of many of them on the interior. but also quite clickbaity should be called most intresting spires in New York instead.

    Again, great narration and information. A B-25 bomber also crashed into the Empire State Building on July 28, 1945, on the north side of the building. Will have coffee at the ready for part two.

    @peterzito1372 11 месяцев назад

    You can do a part 3 so many overlooked gems in New York I think out of all the new supertalls designed in the past 10 years I would have to say the Brooklyn tower at 9 dekalb ave. They saved the dime savings bank built in 1910 at added a art-deco look to that 1000 ft. Tower thanks love your videos

    For a video about what's inside the spires you spend maybe 20 seconds on that and several minutes on it's exterior and history. Wish we got to see more of the goods. Lol.

    Thank you for having a REAL glass neon sign instead of the LED look-a-like "neon sign".

    The title is "What's Inside the Spires." The video is just shots of the outsides. Quite disappointed.

    Sprinted to the comments to say this. It would seem a skyscraper CAN take a plane crashing into it and stay standing...hmm.
